FirstBarkWhen we got our high-strung lab/kelpie mixes 8 years ago, Val's obedience classes trained us on how to train our dogs. One of the major byproducts of that training is they do not run out of the house without our signal; so important to our pup's safety.

Hey I wanted to train my dog to be my service dog is this place good doe that and if not any place in the coachella valley?
Hi Edgar, We train service dogs. If your dog can be trained depends on your dog and the behavior you need the dog too learn. Guide Dogs have their own breeding program and still only have a 20% success rate, simply because the dog is unable to do that behavior. This is why there were over 30 lassies playing one dog. We can come out and let you know if we feel we can teach the dog the behavior you need. Let us know, we are happy to help.

You were recommended by neighbors Gina and Maria. Also by our Vet at P. S. Animal Hosp. Ollie is 65lb 17month terrier mix. Main problems: Over excited when meeting people; regressed on peeing in house. Can you help??
I can help you. My fee is either $125 an hour or 4 one hour sessions for $400 privately. I also offer 6 week classes for $125 let me know what you would like to do.

All I can say is Val is amazing!!! I had a male dog (Constantine) and a female dog (Starlit). They were extremely close and when Starlit passed, Constantine didn't know how to act. I then introduced a male rescue (Rudy) into the home and they were not able to get along. After working with Val they became super close. We then rescued a third dog (Buddy) and she helped us with him as well. Not only is she patient and kind but she really knows how to train humans so that they can read, understand, and guide their babies to a happy life. She has a true love for animals. I am so blessed that I met Val. I don't know what I would have done without her. There is not way I can express how exceptional of a trainer she is.
Valerie is amazing! Not only did she teach me how to train my strong willed pekingese, she immediately reached out to a friend who was having an aggression issue with his doberman pinscher. I am so grateful for her knowledge, patience and love of pets! Thank you Valerie!!!
