You can tell that she truly loves animals and is not doing this for the money! Thanks for all the help

Professionalism, Quality, Reliability, Responsiveness, Value Our dachshund Bennet is often anxious and selective around people. From his first puppy meeting Valerie has been his “person” like a soulmate. The kind, caring way she connects to our precious boy almost seems as if they silently communicate. Because of the trust he has developed with Valerie now at 3 years old he is not as anxious around people. Bennet yearns to join the Saturday playgroup just to see Valerie and his canine friends. Valerie is an awesome trainer, has expert understanding of canine behavior, is true professional and amazing resource. I can't recommend her highly enough!!
Valerie is a wonderful person and trainer. We think she speaks “Dog“. The puppy she helped us train is now four years old. Everyone now loves his sweet nature… Trust me when I say he did not always present as so sweet!..Now he yearns to see Valerie every other Saturday when he returns to her training center and gathers with his “kindergarten“ friends..
Valerie is an absolute godsend. I adopted my dog from the shelter in the fall of 2022 and knew I needed help getting her acclimated to her new living situation. I hired Valerie for 1:1 training sessions and I can't even begin to describe the help she provided. My dog has grown in confidence and so have I, all thanks to Valerie!!
