Sarah & Charlie

"Charlie was struglling with leash pulling and jumping on guests. After this course, he’s walking calmly on a leash and greeting people politely. Huge improvement!"

James & Bella

"Bella used to bark at everything and had trouble settling down. Thanks to the training, she’s much calmer, and we feel more in control as owners!"
