We can’t say enough about the progress our Rottweiler Max made during his 6 weeks here. We will forever be grateful to RJ, Crystal, Tricia (and anyone else we may be forgetting) for the love and care they showed Max while he was with them. They instilled in him a level of discipline, structure, and calm that we never could have on our own. We’ve had Max back for two weeks now, and are incredibly proud of the process he’s made, and are excited for the future adventures we’ll get to share in. Thank you so much!!

RJ and Crystal are incredible people and wonderful trainers. They both have such a calm assertive energy and knowledge about dog behavior and deal with such a wide range of behaviors and dogs. Our dog went through their 4 week board and train in July and we learned so much through the process. They train and work your dog out in the real world and individualize their program to address your dogs needs and problem areas. By following their homework and instructions after the board and train, we have the best version of our 2 year old aussie/golden mix and the knowledge to keep him successful. They keep you up to date through texts and their Instagram page and the bond they build with your dog is unreal.

When we first reached out to RJ, we were at a loss for what to do with Rhett’s reactivity towards other dogs. It was stressful to go for walks and daunting to take him in crowded areas. RJ invested so much time and energy into Rhett during boot camp and was patient with us as we learned to better communicate with Rhett and properly define our role as leaders. This has given both Rhett and ourselves so much more confidence and made our time together so much more enjoyable. It has been wonderful to watch Rhett’s growth in obedience and we have enjoyed many walks since. We truly can’t thank RJ enough and highly recommend him to anyone looking to make lasting improvements in the relationship between themselves and their fur babies.

Wow…just wow! I couldn’t be more impressed!! I left my precious knucklehead baby with strangers not know what to expect but hoping for the best and I have not been disappointed!! Rj and Crystal were so easy to work with and communicative, my Dolly is almost a brand new dog. I’m know there is work still to be done but we feel 100% confident they will be there to help when we need help and it’s not a one and done situation. Thank you guys for the amazing work!
