Theresa and Brad are terrific trainers. I could not have found people who were better at training my dog and me and my husband. They have been an absolute pleasure to work with. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!

Thank you Julia for write us a splendid review. We are delighted to have met you both and are loving every moment we get to spend with you and Chloe. She’s a sweetheart and so comforting to be with. She’s growing & learning so rapidly each day, and we are so thankful to you that we get to be the ones to train her early on in her development.

Theresa was a good trainer. I felt that she directed the session rather than letting me tell her what I needed, that being said, Nova and I both learned some valuable skills.

Details: 1 - 2 years old • Medium (26 - 40 lbs) • Private lessons • General obedience training • Leash pulling • Barking • Biting • My home, venue, etc. • At the pro’s location

Theresa and Brad are GREAT!! I was a desperate new puppy owner who had to go back to work but couldn’t leave my little guy home alone, I couldn’t even leave the room without him! They worked with my schedule and needs to look after Gibsen all day and accomplish all the training he needed to get a great routine down. They socialized him when he wasn’t able to be around dogs. I am most appreciative of the 24/7 assistance and responsiveness to any and questions when they weren’t around, and product recommendations. I will definitely use them again for training needs!!

Details: 1 dog • 0 - 6 months old • Extra Small (1 - 15 lbs) • Private dog training lessons • Puppy training • House training • Crate training • The dog trainer travels to me

Thank you for your review Julia. We love Gibsen and look forward to seeing him again soon!

Theresa was fantastic! By the end of our consultation, she had armed us with leadership exercises, taught us how to get our newly adopted shelter pup to enjoy his crate, and respect our boundaries while we eat. She recommended videos and other tools to help us be the best dog owners we can be. If this is what we got from a simple consultation, we will definitely hire her for full-on training!
