Savannah is hands down the best dogtrainer I've interacted with, she's transformed the relationship I have with my dogs, enriching both my puppos' lives and my own. I'm so grateful to have worked with her and I'm looking forward to our future training sessions to come. Savannah is a wonderful human who transforms the lives of dogs and humans and allows everyone to thrive in a professional and lovely manner. Thank you so much for everything you've done to impact our lives for the better. My life is so much more peaceful now thanks to you.

About 6 months ago, my pup and I did 6 weeks of training with Savannah. He started as an anxious, overwhelmed guy with more energy than we could handle whose reactions on walks left me bruised and both of us dejected. Working with Savannah helped us immensely. I learned how to read his body language, and both of us learned how to walk together on leash. He loved Savannah and 6 months later I know without her help we would be in a very different place had we not trained with her. She helped us turn Gus into a confident, somewhat well-adjusted guy. His behavior is by no means perfect on walks, but we're able to get his energy out and have no tears in the process. That's exactly what we were hoping for. Highly recommend booking with Savannah, our experience was amazing.

Savannah has been a tremendous help, not only with my pup but giving me the tools and confidence as a first timer with a pet.

We signed our pup Toastique up for the basic obedience package and saw incredible improvement over the 5 week course. We such had a great time learning different training skills during each lesson, and we are pretty sure Toastique loved it too Savannah did an incredible job and she's so encouraging and positive. We couldn't recommend it more!
