In just one session with our doodle rescue Desiree exhibited the ability to connect with and train her. She was able to instill the confidence in us we needed to commit to continue training with her and we signed up for a package of sessions. In addition to training, Desiree has a background in nutrition and has provided specific recommendations for each of our dogs. We have no doubt that by the time we are through with our sessions that our dog will be more obedient. We will also use Desiree to help train our older dog (pic included for cuteness). We will happily recommend Desiree to others that we know who are looking for a dog trainer!

I am so impressed with the knowledge and skills Desiree provides to her clients. We are on our third week of training and the focus skill she taught my pup and myself helped us, just yesterday, in a very public environment that would have been very difficult for my people reactive rescue dog to handle in the past (see attached pictures to see my pup AT A WINERY👀🫢😍🎊LOL)! Consistently is key, and if you consistently practice the weekly lessons she provides, communicate with her about any challenges or issues you face, and follow her essential training tips I guarantee you'll see a difference in your baby! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Working with this trainer is excellent. I’ve had dogs for years but this by far has helped me create a better more manageable time with our puppy. Highly recommend her for anyone interested in training the behavior of their dog.

Within a day, I was already seeing positive changes in my dog's behavior. It's clear that this company really cares about the wellness of both my dog and me as a dog owner.
