They make are Levi so behaved and focused. Highly recommended.
Keisha, Val, and Bailey absolutely the best. Gus Gus went in loved and came out loved but also with training under his belt it is money well spent, no disappointments here. As we continue our journey with the Team I’m looking forward to seeing all the things Gus can do. Keep up the wonderful work and loving our babies like we do.
Keisha and her wonderful team have done such an amazing job with our Oakley (cockapoo) in training he is now going to be extending his training for support service. Hands down best experience she has answered any and all dumb questions. Will continue to refer any and everyone to them, they know their stuff.

This team came to me by referral from Animal Hospital of Rowlett when I was at my last ditch effort to get my sweet boxer girl Kenzi Jo to stop biting and at one point she literally tried to bite me on my head , the only reason she didn’t was because I was able to move quick enough. Kenzi Jo was barley 8 months old when I needed help with training and I had already spent 300 bucks on a trainer that came out for an hour and trained through Caesar Milan’s way of I’m the Alpha dog in this house. This was not for my Kenzi as she was a very sensitive girl who never liked her head to be touched even by me. When Valerie came over I was amazed from the very 1st introduction. Kenzi immediately took to her and from then on. My sweet little monster turned into the very best pup ever. She naturally took to taking over as my service dog as well as was a service dog for dogs. Kenzi was seriously afraid of men and children and with working with Keisha & Valerie she slowly came out her shell to the point she loved going to see her vet doc. Dr. O’Bryans was one her favorite people to see and would light up just by saying his name and the wiggles would begin. She also loved his children and my 3 yr old great niece who without their help with training & socialization would never have even been possible. Throughout the 9.5 yrs all I would have to say is where is Keisha or Valerie and she would immediately wiggle and go looking for them. Then came the day I brought my cane corso pup Jacqueline Pearl Sparrow home. Again I would not even have her without them pointing the owner into my direction. For the past 3 yrs they have been helping my sweet little jellybean navigate through her insecurities and is working towards her taking over as my mobility service dog. She has a little ways to go but has come so very far in her training
