Wonderful people, did a great job with my pup. Only thing is I wish I had gotten to see her more, over the fb pictures or pictures being sent to me. And they didn’t communicate about some pressure sore that had grown on her from her refusing to sleep on the bed they gave, they waited until pick up. They did however communicate about a scrap on her nose (she does this quite often as she uses her nose for everything.) I was very pleased with how well she was able to listen after.
I have a lab mix who had some behavior challenges. My trainer worked with us and now my dog comes when called and no longer runs the fence line. My trainer was wonderful! So kind and worked wonders with my dog! I am so grateful!
