My pyrenees is a guarding breed and has hesitancy with new people, places and dogs. Sam went out of her way to help everyone feel safe and comfortable. She communicated well and made sure my high anxiety dog was happy during my extended time away. She really speaks dog and I could tell my pup really enjoyed being around her. This is a lovely facility and I would highly recommend their services.

Hello Debbie, I have a friend who may be looking to give a good home to a dog. She lost her little dog about a year ago. She would provide probably 2 walks a day . I think she would take a training class. Should I give her your contact info ?
Yes, go ahead and I will visit with her. I have dog who is looking for a new home. Debi

After completing the training, does the pet owner continue to use a clicker, or is that just during the training process? thanks!
The clicker and treats are faded as the cue is added to the behavior. They are used in the learning process.

Hello, What is the average fee for training a German Shepard for obedience to home protection?
I can't give a specific price answer to this question as it depends on the rate of learning, the age/background experience of the dog, time spent training, effectiveness/ consistency of the owner doing the training, etc of the dog. Also, I don't do home protection training.

I boarded my dog there for one night and Sam was wonderful. My dog got lots of personalized attention and love and he slept the entire day after I picked him up because he was so tired from having fun.
Debi is a great and thorough trainer! I’m so glad we opted for the one on one training class! It was amazing to watch our Corgi respond so quickly to the way she teaches! She always had an immediate response to any behavior issues we may have had with our dog! I highly recommend her class!
What a great experience for both me and my dog Poppy. Best dog training experience I have ever had.
Not only did Debi provide me with valuable resources to train our dog Axell (and me) but helped me understand his perspective of his surroundings. He is becoming a confident, calm dog. Thank you Debi!!
