what our customers say

Anthony took Missy and my training to the next level. Utilizing dog-friendly stores and public spaces, he taught Missy (and me) how to heel with me in a wheelchair, using a walker, and walking with crutches. Amidst new noises, strangers, and dogs, each training phase built upon the last, all under Anthony's expert guidance.

Anthony has transformed our dog! In just a few visits, Hank is no longer bolting out of the front door, jumping on guests, or herding kids around the pool. He has a busy schedule, but he is very flexible in making sure you get the most out of each session. Anthony worked well with our family and even helped our kids be better dog owners. We highly recommend him!

I was worried about leaving my dog for the board and train while we were on vacation, but I heard great reviews and our dog really had some behavior issues. It was a chore to walk her—she pulled, barked, and wouldn’t listen to us! I was amazed at the difference a week made! I actually enjoyed walking her today.
