We picked up Ziggy he was doing great with his training & she gave us the knowledge to keep it up. At 10 months old, he can be walked off leash and continues to grow in his abilities!"

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lyn was very professional and courteous.  She kept me updated on Django's training every day.   He has been transformed from being a disobedient puppy to an obedient dog.  I am very pleased with how he has done.  I would highly recommend this business to anyone.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sam was excellent with our 5 month old golden retriever. Oakley came home so loving and very well behaved. He now listens to almost every command given. Sam sent us updates everyday he was gone! Oakley will definitely miss Sam and her dogs.
