Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I believe anyone who excels at their profession has an internally driven passion for it. This drive fuels their desire to be a little bit better every day. When I give a lesson, I am constantly evaluating if my student (person or dog) is "getting it". My focus is on being the best dog trainer I can be and frees my dog/student from any blame. They are merely a reflection of my abilities to communicate. I think that a teacher's responsibility is to do whatever it takes to "cause someone else to learn"! Working with the dogs, of course; more specifically, the "ah ha" moment for the dog when they see that we can actually communicate with each other...the Helen Keller moment.

My Border Collie and I have been in both "Beginner Group and Intermediate Group Classes" with Peggy as the Instructor. The experience was very positive. I have continued on with Peggy for private classes. Peggy has been very accommodating with make-up classes. What I have learned is to connect and have fun with my dog and that I must do the home work. 30 min. To an hour in a classroom is only a start. If I am not willing to reinforce everything Peggy has taught I will forget and so will my dog. It is work......but fun work. I love my dog and want to enjoy her. Peggy has a lot of energy, enthusiasm and experience. I was so impressed with she and her own dog in the first class that I felt I wanted to continue with her because she obviously knew what she was doing. The only thing I would like to change is ..to get outside. That is my only suggestion for improvement. Peggy is truthful, tough and honest. When I have felt that I have failed she has backed up and filled the gap. I was very surprised to find such a good instructor at Petsmart. Way to go!

Peggy is a phenomenal trainer! She has helped me be more confident in my training. Her methods always work even with some of my misbehaved furbabies! We started with basic training for two puppies and moved the whole way through graduation of advanced training. We are now working with my adult rescue dog that can be a bit of a bully. I can now control the situation and have learned what to watch for in advance to stop the bad behavior before it starts. I cannot thank her enough for for all our success!

We love Peggy! She has helped us mold our big-personality puppy into an All Star! He's completed 2 (almost 3) classes with her, and has earned his AKC STAR Puppy with her help. We will continue with private classes and many more! Thank you, Peggy! Omni loves you!

Our dog has been in training with Peggy for the past 6 months. She has taught us how to takes cues from our dog to know what is the best way to proceed to get the results we desire. She goes above and beyond each week to make sure we understand the proper mechanics involved to properly train our dog. Peggy is also very knowledgeable on behavior issues that we have encountered and she is always willing to help. Our Puppy has earned the status as a STAR Puppy! I recommed Peggy Chisolm to anyone who wants to train their dog at all levels. Thanks Peggy for helping our dog be the best she can be!

Peggy's knowledge and encouragement gave me confidence while she taught me and my rescue dog in her beginner class. It was great experience.
