None better - caring, friendly and GREAT training
This training is done in a huge, clean space and the puppies have so much fun! Valerie is kind with both dogs and people and our puppy is learning so much - including having her teeth brushed and nails trimmed. Highly recommend!
Valerie is amazing and her kindergarten and enrichment classes for puppies are great! I learned so much about how to train my puppy. Her classes fill up early so plan ahead when you want to get into a class. She's great and I'll definitely do more classes with my dog in the future!

Valerie is knowledgeable, direct and professional. She knows her business and her facility is large, clean and well-equipped. We have a big, powerful, rescue German Shepherd Dog that can be very reactive to people and other dogs. Valerie has shown us great methods for correcting these negative behaviors. They are practical and easily performed, and they make great sense. We highly recommend Valerie.
