We got great help training our dog, and really help training us to set our dog up for success. It was over zoom which I was a little skeptical of at first, but the meeting was great and very informative. We were given some exercises to do with our pup that ended up working quickly and great! Did a follow up call, and will definitely be using Val again once we master these issues we’re working on. Highly recommend!
We were having issues with our dog being aggressive towards strangers, even nipping at them. We learned ways to facilitate our dog’s behavior and modify our daily routines that has made a big difference in his behavior in just a month’s time. I would definitely recommend these dog training services.
We brought a scared, anxious rescue pup to class and left with a more confident, secure dog. Highly recommend. Val knows what she’s doing and genuinely cares about her student’s success.
