Testimonials

Anne Whitehead (Brody)

We got Brody as a puppy and it was time for obedience. Upon the recommendation of several people we signed up. We love the “personal touch” here. After expressing concern to some of the instructors one night after class, the very next week she was there with information and handouts for us. Any problem we had they were right here with helpful suggestions and information. We will definitely be back for more training and playgroup!! We love it here!

Joyce Kilpatrick (Cocoa)

This class was a lot of dog psychology – which I think is a better system. The more I learn how my dog thinks and reacts, the more successful I believe we will both be. Other experiences with training classes I’ve participated in with other dogs were strictly giving commands. Graduation was cute too – how nice that no dog fails and their strong points are rewarded. Cocoa & I thank you – we enjoyed it.
