Customer Reviews

Becca H.
Helpful, compassionate, and supportive staff. Thank you for walking us through the puppy struggles. Your advice and extra phone calls and e-mails went above and beyond! We went through a really tough time with our little guy's behavior and are now seeing so many improvements.


Anna C.
Two weeks in and I am amazed at how much my puppy and I have learned! I didn't know it was possible to teach a puppy so quick to do so many things. You definitely start right away, and Veronica knows what she is doing!


Debbie S.
The instructors are knowledgeable, professional, and offer hands-on help with training. The lessons are broken into manageable segments for puppies and puppy parents. The homework sheets are easy to follow and make it simple to practice what is learned in class.
