WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Serious Belgian Shepherd dog Malinois wi

DRAX

"Wow.
I couldn't say anything else about the help this trainer provided.
I'm amazed at the difference in my Malinois. He was extremely anxious and becoming next level destructive as he entered adolescence. I've owned working dog breeds my entire adult life and have never dealt with anxiety like this in a dog before. All the obedience training and exercise in the world wasn't helping. Sandra came in and helped me identify all the things I was doing wrong. She changed my entire approach to dog ownership."

"Eugene LOVES Sandra!!!!!!!!!! 
We adored training and learned lots of awesome skills for my little grump. I LOVE that Sandra focuses so much on the emotional relationship between you and your dog and heavily considers the human side of dog training. She never got annoyed with me for asking silly questions or needing instructions repeated again and again."

DAFFODIL

"Daff is the most over excited dog in the whole world. She nips, she jumps, she scratches, she barks and whines, she hits me with toys, etc. As Sandra always says: she's just always ready to party.
 
Sandra came in and within minutes had my psycho jumper in a sit and dropping toys on command. She adjusted our exercise routines and implemented lots of opportunities for Daff to rest and I saw immediate changes. I never thought it would be possible for her to be so chill. Thanks Sandra!"

Yes!
Extra dogs in the home are no additional cost.

However, if multiple pets in the home contribute to the "family drama," you might need more than 4 sessions. This c

Can we work with multiple dogs in the home?

We're not opposed to using the harness you already have!

We're just picky about harnesses around here because ill-fitting equipment can increase the danger of dog's slipping/backing out and increases the risk of short term and long term injuries.

Because of this, we order appropriate harnesses for each client to make sure we're accommodating each dog's body structure and musculoskeletal movement.

My dog already has a harness. Do I have to get one with my program?
