So first there should be an option for ten star because Reaba deserves that. This was by and far…read morethe most amazing experience my dog Smokey and I have had. First, this happened to fall the weekend of Hurricane Michael when everyone lost power including Reaba. It was very last minute as my trip plans changed and I had to leave earlier than expected and could not reach the place originally scheduled for my dog. I quickly search engines somewhere and Reaba popped up and I called explained my situation and though slightly off her normal stipulations she agreed to help me. Of course none of us expected the storm at this point as it was Thursday. We left, and I am always super apprehensive leaving Smokey bc he was a rescue and I always worry he thinks I am abandoning him. Well storm hits and sure enough Reaba lost power the entire time I was gone as did everyone here in Saxapahaw. When we returned Sunday we weren't sure what we would return to at our house so Reaba was gracious enough to offer if we needed to pick him up the next day that was fine. Fortunately we did not. We picked up Smoky and I was expecting the usual, my dog to be anxiously waiting for me jumping up to see me , jumping in my car, jumping and running. What I got was similar to a mopey child being picked up by mom to early I seriously could not believe it. My dog did not want to leave!! My dog came home with more manners, quieter, more well trained than I sent him!!! I am still in disbelief!!! I cannot reccommend NO BARKING BACK enough!!!! Honestly!!! I feel like my dog has made friends with Rebea's kids and can't wait to visit again! Even if you live in G'boro or Mebane it's worth the distance for the complete TLC your dog will get from Reaba will give to your furry family member -kerri D

We adopted him when he was 6yrs and have had him for the past 3, but something happened along the way that brought out this unexpected and unwanted behavior in Oliver. After training w/Chris, he helped us, without provocation, to pinpoint what it could be that brought about this change. During the entire process Chris was patient w/me and Oliver. He taught us each skills and techniques that could bring harmony back into our home. Giving up on my dog was not an option, but it got to the point where he was not enjoyable to be around because of his unpredictable behavior. Yes, I know he's not a pit or even a medium sized dog, but his outbursts were startling & bites are never fun. Thanks to Chris we are enjoying Ollie again and he's enjoying us. He's now attending doggie daycare once a week to keep him socialized and he's doing fantastic ! Thanks so much Chris !

I wanted to ensure that everything was covered, and boy did Andrea come through! Over the course of 8 sessions, she took my rebellious pooch and turned her into a proper princess.

From checking in, answering questions, and referring us to additional training videos an aids between sessions, to recommending treats that would help in the process, to being very flexible in scheduling sessions; I couldn't have asked for a better experience for me and my pup.

Definitely made a difference in how we train our dogs, and gave us the guidance we needed to be confident with it!

Ozzie had been left to fend for himself and spent much, if not all of his life outside as a small mixed breed. He suffered from extreme anxiety and debilitating fear. On Russell's first visit to our home, Ozzie hid behind the sofa for 30 minutes. Before Russell left, Ozzie was eating out of his hand and rolling over for belly rubs. We've been working together for over a month now, and it's like I have a different dog. The techniques that Russell has taught me to use with Ozzie as well as explaining how my actions and reactions influence his behaviors has been invaluable. A genuinely nice person who truly cares about your dog's progress.
