We weren’t planning on having our puppy trained, but a cashier asked us if we had considered it. As we were checking out, Dotty, the trainer, was just coming in to work. She explained what training would entail and we decided to give it a try. Dotty is an expert trainer for both dogs and their owners! She is pragmatic, funny, caring, patient and calm. We are so grateful for her help and our puppy loves her!
Dotty is extremely knowledgeable and gives advice that the average pet owner can follow and utilize in their daily lives.
Dotty is amazing! She’s taken this poor rescue dog and started him down the path of heroism! She has really made me feel confident with caring for my dog and Sully and I are so happy. Looking forward to the next step in training.
Dotty is an amazing trainer with years of experience and great problem solving advice! We have learned so much from her during our time with her! We can't wait for Level 2! I highly recommend her classes!
