    A Pleasant Dog, Jenn, and her incredible staff genuinely saved us! When we learned that our giant breed Great Dane, English Mastiff was reactive, I was devastated and lost. My vet referred us to APD. We were met with sincere kindness, compassion, and an abundance of knowledge and expertise! We immediately started a plan for success and have learned how to help our literal giant baby live her happiest, healthiest and safest life! Jenn and her team have excellent specialty relationships with other care providers and we were also able to identify pain and anxiety in our boxer pitty babe - leading to a sustainable and long term care plan. I only wish that I had met the APD Team sooner, and had started with them when my girls were puppies. If you are reading this looking for confirmation that A Pleasant Dog is the right choice for your family, I promise you it is. Make the call. ❤️

    So thankful we found A Pleasant Dog! Jenn and Roxi have been absolutely amazing and have helped our little ones with big fears so much! They came highly recommended from our vet and we are so happy we listened! Jenn is also the most amazing owner ever. On our first consult with her she noticed I was getting emotional and she took me to the side and just gave me a hug and told me that everything will be okay and that we would get through it, and she was right. I needed to hear that, as we were going through an extremely hard time with our reactive dogs. We couldn’t have done it without their aunt Jenn. APDs compassion for people and their pets is unmatched. 💜 Thank you for helping our little ones!! We are forever grateful for everything APD does!

    We have taken multiple classes at A Pleasant Dog. We love the people there, and it's clear that they care about their clients - both the canine and human ones. We also appreciate that they use positive reinforcement methods and have a clear understanding of the most current training methods. I love my dog and want only the best for her, and I truly believe that is what A Pleasant Dog is.
