Southcoast Dog Training & Care, Inc.

Sandy is the best! I brought my dog to her after he started showing signs of aggression (lunging at people, dogs, cars, etc.) while we walked and I could no longer introduce him to new dogs without him getting aggressive. Even after 1 lesson, I noticed a change in my dogs attitude. She showed us how to spot and correct behavior effectively and how to communicate better with my dog overall. A couple weeks later and he’s a new dog! Highly highly recommend! 🐾

Sandy helped train our puppy, Drogo. We rescued him, and he would get scared and bark at people. It was nerve wracking because his German Shepherd bark would intimidate people even though he was more scared of them!! We were a little out of Sandy's travel zone, but she was happy to meet us at our home to do a free evaluation. She included visits to pet stores to just watch his progress and see if the lessons were helping. Also, she talked with us about ways our puppy could be trained to help my boyfriend, who is a Marine Corps veteran. She was completely committed to making sure we felt comfortable with Drogo, helping us teach him basic commands as well as walking. He is such a different puppy now and a crowd favorite! She is happy to text and call if we have any problems. Two of my colleagues have also used her, and there was such a difference in their rescue dogs too! She truly cares about you and your dog and is flexible to meet your needs. We couldn't ask for a better experience. Thanks, Sandy!

I first met Sandy when I went to visit Pet Supplies Plus in Fairhaven. She had a table set up and was giving out helpful info about dog training. I spoke with her and found her extremely interesting. When I got my black lab puppy, Raven, I was really interested in having her attend puppy training classes (as I have had many dogs, but never attended classes). My daughter and I went to Sandy's puppy training classes and loved them. She ALWAYS made them interesting and even had extra special guests and helped us bond with Raven. Sandy is AMAZING at what she does and you just know that she loves what she does. Raven is now 1 year old and has been having some "issues" with jumping on people, biting and not listening. I was really frustrated. Sandy visited us last week for a private lesson and WOW, what a difference! Raven is already so much more attentive and Sandy's tips worked like a charm. I feel like I am getting things under control! Thank you Sandy!!
