Amazing service. Somehow I didn 't realize it was going to be a private lesson which made it So much easier for me. I fatigue quite easily due to a disability and Salena just took the reins. She showed how I should be doing it and allowed flexibility on the lessons. Some weeks I couldn't practice.

Selene was amazing! My 1 year old Blue Heeler was a handful. Just in the first week of training, I saw a massive improvement in attitude, and responsiveness. Every week afterward was a joy to learn new things.
Max was very high energy and drive, which led to a lot of frustration that I couldn't channel it in the right way. I was close to trying to find a better home for her, as I was feeling unable to channel her energy properly. But after just a couple of sessions with Selene, there was a complete change in direction.
When we look to get a pet, we're looking for a preconceived notion of companionship that they will bring. My relationship with Max was the complete opposite. After a few weeks of training, we were on our way to having that dream friendship. Now I take her out for walks in the woods off-leash, and have no worries that I can recall her back when necessary. This gives us both the ability to enjoy our time out together, instead of me wrangling her the entire time. I dare say that Selene has helped save our relationship. I can't thank her enough.
She also follows up after the training is over, to check in, and offer pointers if necessary. She was amazing. I can't recommend her enough.

Selene was able to get my dog to follow commands after a few minutes, we have more classes, but I don't doubt they will be successful

Selene is wonderful. She took my boxer and she came home a lady. She turned 9 mos. the day she came home. Jazmain cried the 1st night she was home. She missed Selene. I would not go to anyone else for training. The best part is u can call her and ask questions after she is gone. She follows up with u as well. Wonderful trainer!

Selene has been great at training our 5 year old Lab/Mastiff. She explains what to do and why and learns all she can about the dogs temperament so she can make specific recommendations.
