I greatly appreciated the time and true interest they took in my issues and concerns about my 2 Shih Tzus. It was a team effort discussion. They wanted too see the behavior in action not just take my word. They truly care about my dogs well being and wanted too help. They came up with a plan and it started to help right away. Now I have 30 days of support as needed. Thank you thank you!!

Vernon and Marci taught and equipped us with everything we need to teach Lucy, ( our 5 & 1/2 month old, Fox Red English Labrador puppy ), respectful and calm behavior. After 4 hours Lucy was already doing what we were training her to do. We thought we were doing what we were supposed to to train her but in reality we were doing all the wrong things causing her behavior to be worse. We were unknowingly rewarding bad behavior. They addressed every problem and even a couple we didn’t know were problems. They even had us get our daughter’s dog, an older lab, that Lucy would jump on and make miserable. We felt such a relief by the time they left. Also it was very important to us that shock collars, and anything negative and/or painful is NOT used! They also believe in training with positive reinforcement!!! They also gave us both of their personal phone numbers and encouraged us to call anytime we had any kind of questions and/or problems. We had never done anything like this before and didn’t know what to expect, but I would say they met and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Vernon and Marci!!!

I was having some behavior issues with my 6 month old female Rottweiler After Vernon and Marci helped us train her, I no longer have these problems. They trained me right along with the dog on how to handle her and it worked! I highly recommend these 2 to train your dog. They are wonderful people and we felt right at home with them. It was well worth it!

Vernon was absolutely fantastic. My husband and I are both first time puppy owners, and we were having trouble getting our little guy potty trained. There were so many things that we were doing wrong, and we didn’t even realize it. Our Yorkie is a completely different dog after Vernon‘s visit. Can’t recommend him enough!

We recently took in a two year old Great Dane to join our 6.5 year old Dane, and small mutt. Everything was in disorder in our house and it was almost unbearable. The dogs were all fighting for attention and even snipping at each other. Indiana Dog Whisperer came in, and with their guidance and tips, on day 1 while not perfect, we are already seeing huge improvement. Will update in the future.
