Customer Reviews
“The trainers are AMAZING – so kind and helpful. I love their training philosophy… it’s all about positive reinforcement. They give individual help throughout the class and answer any questions as we go along. Highly recommend for training. The absolute best!!!!” Lisa
“Norma Jean and I loved the beginning manners class. Sandy and Tracy were both informative, patient and kind. They made learning fun. The six weeks just flew by and Norma Jean trots right over to the classroom door when we leave daycare. Norma Jean and I learned a lot. We are going to miss our Tuesdays at training.” Julie Ann
“We’d like to thank you again for the great work you are doing and for teaching us to better understand our Paula. It was really interesting and we learned a lot. We admit….not only Paula was tired after every class! :-)” Thomas, Christel, and Paula
“Sandy, thanks for providing such a positive environment for our dogs to learn! It was so enjoyable working with Pickle and Wyatt . We were amazed at how much they improved week by week.” Kathy
“I cannot thank Sandy and Tracy enough for teaching me and Tina Fey the techniques and discipline of training that ultimately has made our relationship stronger. They both went above and beyond to help us with the class material and some unique behavioral issues we were having. Their attention and love for dogs is so genuine and contagious. I highly recommend taking a class if you are looking for someone who truly cares!” Laura and Tina Fey
