Testimonials

So Happy!!

by Chris G.

I have been working with Emma since Zelda (Australian Shepherd) was 11 weeks old. I learn something new during every session with Emma. I know that Miss “Z” is getting more responsive and well behaved every week. Most important - it is obvious that Emma expects certain behaviors but is helping me to just let Miss “Z” be a puppy. “Reinforce the positive” is the mantra and my girl has a lot of positive (and mischief) in her!! This has been a rewarding investment in my future with my pup. And I have to add that Zelda simply adores Emma and won’t take her eyes off of her during our sessions.
