WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Serious Belgian Shepherd dog Malinois wi

"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."

"This dog trainer has been so helpful for my dogs as well as myself. I couldn't walk my giant breed dogs anymore because they pulled so much that I would throw out my back. She helped with this problem and then gave advice for several others, anytime I've had a question."

"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."
