"We had such a wonderful experience.
We worked with Wendy in-person and via teleconference once the world events dictated our new normal. She was very flexible when we had to reschedule and we couldn’t be happier with the results we’ve had.
Would recommend to all friends and family without hesitation."

Wendy is a calm and knowledgeable presence in the sometimes chaotic world of having a puppy! It's amazing what our pets learn in class!

Kelly for Roman
“Private puppy lessons were perfect to get my puppy and me started on the right track.
The individual sessions were phenomenal, and tailored for our needs. When we had a stressful week with our puppy, Wendy helped us to resolve the issue.
Wendy is wonderful with dogs (and people). She is a great listener and super understanding and respectful of individual needs. We have greatly benefited.“
