Carrie and Shannon are amazing. We are only a few sessions in and we already see a huge change in our puppy’s behavior! Having a puppy can be incredibly challenging but Carrie and Shannon have made the experience both fun and enlightening. As a client, they also provide us with exclusive opportunities like affordable boarding. I cannot recommend this company enough!!

Carrie was so patient with our Benny. He came from an abused home. She taught him so many things along with confidence. He was able to come out of his shell with her help. I truly recommend Carrie and Ruff to Wags. We couldn’t have done it without her! -J.D. Bynum

Hands down the most patient, kind, and knowledgeable dog trainer (for puppies and adult dogs) we have ever used. We recently got a golden puppy and with Carries guidance along with her partner Shannon, our pup is an obedient rockstar. We have an older corgi as well that we had Carrie work with us on some behavioral things… in the past we had other trainers help us with no luck. Carrie was the shining star trainer that helped us get on a brighter path of behavior for our corgi. Needless to say, if/when you go and train with Carrie and Shannon, you will come out of it feeling confident as an owner, they make you feel comfortable from the second they meet you, and you will walk away extremely satisfied with your dogs!
