I foster australian shepherds and had a 'problem child' with stranger danger. He was a handful and…read morealways in protective mode, nipped at people, and charged my husband 4 times. With us, he eventually bonded but not with our adult children. We, through the rescue, reached out to Emily Beddard. She had him for 3 months. During that time, my husband decided he wanted to keep him and just manage the behavior. When the dog was 'ready', Emily contacted us and we drove down to pick him up. He is a changed dog - no longer immediately aggressive, still requires an introduction but has accepted everyone we have introduced, and is a total lovebug with them. The big test was over the holidays and he passed with flying colors. I credit Emily and her team as they provided him with training, but just as importantly heavy socialization and an opportunity to feel safe. When we picked him up, you could see how they loved him. They were also terrific about periodically sending pictures - I could see how happy he was in their care. He continues to be a happy, relaxed dog and we have maintained the introduction protocol that Emily taught us.

We have brought our mini Dachsund Heidi here for about 10 lessons and we are very happy that we…read morefound this place. Tracie and Addy have been wonderful guides and Heidi has made enormous strides since we started. They do a great job of making sure the dog parents know what the exercises are and give tips on how to help coax the dog along when they are just learning things. Amazing patience and upbeat attitudes and every dog we have done group classes with love the instructors. What I also appreciate is Tracie does a great job of listening to what you want to accomplish with your dog and helping you get in the right classes - without trying to oversell anything. Clearly is a kind, honest person and we cannot recommend this place enough.

I wish I had taken the one star Google review that said she's crazy more seriously. That reviewer…read moremust be a very nice person, because to say she's crazy is definitely an understatement. We had her come over for $100, and it turned out to be a nightmare. She came when my puppy woke up--instead of letting me take the puppy to potty, she insisted playing with him until he peed/pooped at the wrong spot. Then she stopped me to pick up the poo, put a treat right next to his poo, and our puppy for the FIRST time ate a piece of poo, because the treat was placed right next to it. Words can't describe how bad the whole 20-minute session was. Her attitude was unprofessional and very condescending, treating us as if we are ignorant people. She kept saying "poor puppy" as if we are abusing him. The worst of the worst: when I cleaned the mess, she said to me "good job"--who does that? My husband and I were utterly shocked. Before she left, she insisted putting a dirty empty water bottle in the playpen to let the puppy chew, while our puppy has various good quality dog toys. We love our puppy dearly, which is exactly why we've been trying different configurations of his playpen and wanted to start training early. But it's the biggest mistake to have used this service. First time and definitely last time.
