we are so grateful to Ashley and her expertise! Our dog Penny is a fearful dog who can be reactive in certain situations. Ashley helped us learn how to manage Penny's environment to help quell any incidents. In addition to management we also learned some fun "games" to help Penny make good choices in tricky situations. Our relationship with our dog has changed so positively! Penny has so much more trust and confidence in us and in turn herself. I would HIGHLY recommend Ashley and her team at You and Your Dog

If I could give this 10 stars, I would. We did Puppy Beginner and Puppy Intermediate for a total of twelve weeks with our puppy Scout. I just can’t say enough about Ashley—her enthusiasm, her sense of humor, her incredible energy, her knowledge about dogs and her ability to translate that into concepts that were understandable for humans in combination with her exceptional teaching style make for a very powerful combination. It was truly enjoyable for us and our new baby boy, and I can’t recommend it highly enough

We had dogs growing up but my husband and I recently adopted our first dog as adults- I had no idea how little I knew- ESPECIALLY about training! I signed up for 6 individual lessons with Ashley and am just beyond impressed. She is so knowledgeable and a very gifted trainer. She definitely 'speaks dog' and all three of us learned so much- most of all my husband and I! We are all much more comfortable and confident together with the tools she gave us to help understand and work with our dog. I also really appreciated that I never felt an ounce of judgement from her even with some of the ridiculous questions we asked. Honestly can't say enough good things about this place and Ashley! Worth every penny!

My boyfriend and I have taken multiple group classes and private lessons with Ashley for our 2 year old Great Pyrenees, Sterling. Ashley is extremely knowledgable and she far-exceeded our expectations with her training abilities. Sterling is a nervous and reactive dog and through the lessons, we were able to build her confidence so much more than we ever thought possible, along with strengthening previous skills she knew and learning effective new ones. We went from struggling to bring Sterling through our apartment complex due to her reactions to other people and dogs to being able to navigate the halls and pass other people with ease. Thank you Ashley for all your help!
