Updated Review: Was so happy with everything until i received a text threatening to take me to small claims court because of 2 bounced checks. I had no idea the checks even bounced. There was no communication prior to this text, but just a threat saying i had 2 days to pay. We had fraud on our account so the bank closed it, but we thought the checks were already processed. I would’ve appreciated a simple phone call or text asking for payment, but instead we were threatened. Because of that, we never took our dog back since we didn’t feel comfortable. Definitely recommend! My puppy Remy is learning so much and getting the socialization she needs.

Roo really helped us we had two bunnies that were free range. When we decided to get a dog for our son, we were worried that the dog could never be trusted with the bunnies. We contacted Roo and she gave us lots of helpful training on how to get our dog to not view the bunnies as food but as part of her family. Since then we have taken several other classes with Roo and are so happy with what a wonderful dog we have. I really appreciate how Roo trains us to understand our pet and her training teaches us how to set our dog up for success and build a deeper bond with them.

Roo is a phenomenal educator and brings further insight into raising a canine buddy. Our puppy gained utmost trust with her in a very short amount of time (he loves Roo!). I feel extremely grateful that we chose such a keen and informed puppy educator, as our pup Pippin is now so well adapted to acting in accordance with our expectations. Five stars, and we will continue to take Pippin to courses with Roo.
Started Kinder 1 with our 12 week old puppy and built a great foundation on which to continue training on. We will go on to Kinder 2 and possibly beyond!
