If you are ready to leave your house, your family, and your animals behind to start a new life without them, call Diane and John! If you have dogs of any age, any breed, any size, and they're making you crazy - call Diane and John! My initial hesitation was the price (which is actually less than some of the others in town), but after our 1st session I knew this would be worth every penny and then some! Thank you both for teaching us how to understand our dogs better, how to properly correct unwanted behavior, and creating a much more peaceful existence for all of us! We just finished our second session with our 1.5 yr old Boxer and 5 month old pit mix and we've already seen a night and day difference. We cannot thank you both enough! Their services are worth every single penny!

I absolutely love our experiences with Diane and John. Our entire family is excited when they come, puppy included. Diane and John have made such a difference. Even after the first visit, we noticed remarkable improvements in our pup as well as our expectations for her. I am grateful for the training I am receiving as a pet owner, and its helping our family immensely. Diane and John are so responsive, kind, wise, and patient. Incredibly patient. I really appreciate their attention to detail, their love of fur babies and people alike, and am so grateful for our continuing relationship. I would not hesitate to recommend them to everyone I know! And I have :) If you have any reservations concerning this program, don't hesitate to call and chat. The office staff was remarkable and reassuring. What more is to be said? Super satisfied, super encouraged to be a better pup mom, and super happy to have made wonderful, new friends in Diane and John.

We rescued a dog and needed help training her. It was a disaster and we never got what we paid for so no I would not recommend

Diane and John are THE dog whisperers! We were worried we would give up on our 1 year old Lab, Bo. We decided training would be our last resort. I looked up reviews and saw they had the best reviews so I chose them. From their first visit we have a brand new dog. We thought he would maybe too old and set in his misbehaviors to train or at the very least, take a very long time. I cannot believe the difference in Bo and also how they taught us to understand him. It's remarkable. If you are hunting for a trainer, make sure you call them! They are always available for when I need a recommendation and they are in constant contact with me on Bo's progress. They are miracle workers! Thanks Diane and John!

John and Diane are great! They took the time to explain the reasoning behind many of our dog's behaviors that we were wanting to address. We weren't sure what to expect as this is our first dog, but we saw a huge difference after just the first meeting. We are very happy with the knowledge that we have been given so far, and we look forward to learning more! Highly Recommend!
