Satisfied Clients

A night and day difference since our first lesson. Very little pulling, civil interactions with other people and dogs...
— Rob, 3 American Eskimos
She is so good! It’s like you put a spell on her when you came to the house. I took her to work and she was a total hit and very well behaved. The body language thing is a winner!
— Stacie, Mastiff and Bulldog
