During the time if our training the business had some ups and downs, that were truthfully very frustrating. However the staff did make it right by offering a few extra lessons. They are very knowledgeable in training and taught me a lot. We met Katie towards the end and she is fantastic. Very good with dogs, communicative and personable. She saved us!

After Katie worked with my VERY reactive german shepherd, he is a new dog. I can now walk around the neighborhood and on hikes and he doesn't go crazy and scary barking at every dog he sees. It was embarrassing before and I always feared going on walks with him, but we can walk again in peace and I don't have to worry about him reacting to any dog wherever we go - we can just enjoy the outdoors together again! It's amazing!
This exceeded my expectations in every way. We rescued a dog from our shelter. I felt very ill equipped to help this little shepherd but Katie helped not only my Babygirl but she showed me how to me help her. I am so grateful. I will continue to seek this help as we progress in this journey.
Our trainer, Katie, at the Modesto location, was very patient and great with our dog and her owner. Highly recommend her and this business.
We took our puppy to their 2 week training. He listens so much better now. It's been a gamechanger for our us
