Personally, I do not know how I would have survived without Angels in the Making. My dog is large and weighs almost 60 pounds. I adopted Cocoa when she was 5 years old so she had already established some really bad habits (for example, yanking on the leash when walking and jumping all over strangers). With the help of Angles in the Making, Cocoa's behavior and demeanor has greatly improved. I recently had a neighbor over at my house who had last seen Cocoa prior to attending the Well Mannered Dog classes. My neighbor commented that Cocoa was "practically a different animal" and that "she was so well behaved". Teri at Angels in the Making is very knowledgeable about dog behavior. If your dog is acting out or not listening, Teri can guide you on how to respond to your dog's behavior to help your dog become successful. For every skill, Teri provides detailed information to help you progress through the various skills at your dog's pace. In addition to the instruction, the facilities are well maintained and Teri constantly works to provide a good environment for my dog and I to work together.

Teri is an amazing positive trainer. I have had the great pleasure of working with her for many years as a student, client and as a professional animal advocate. My personal believe is that every dog should have the appropriate puppy education and manners training. I can't think of a better trainer to have in this process than Teri. Teri's knowledge is exceptional as is her amazing ability with animals. I have seen her work wonders with dogs, especially those that did not have the best ground work in the beginning. She has a special gift in her ability to read body language in the animals along with the outstanding ability to help owners understand and work with their pets. Teri has always said to me that there is an angel in every pet, they just need the proper training and guidance from their human family to bring that out. Don't wait until you have a problem with your pet, see Teri in the beginning and start out on the best paw you can. Give your pet the right start. I can't say enough about Teri, Angels in the Making and highly recommend her to everyone I meet.

When I adopted Boon, my then 6-year-old Pit Bull, in November of last year, I wanted to find a dog trainer who would uses totally positive, humane methods. My new vet recommended Teri Thomas and her business, Angels in the Making. I wanted to start right with Boon, and I enrolled us in Teri's next "Your Well Mannered Dog 1" program. I say "us", because any good pet training program must first train the owner. Boon responded very well to Teri's methods. After our first session, he knew what was in store whenever we arrived at Angels in the Making. He became excited, and led me straight to the classroom. The course was very well taught, and easily met my expectations. Teri's compassion and enthusiasm were always obvious to me. Since attending the class, I have often asked Teri for advice on new behavioral issues and other concerns. She always has good, thoughtful, and free answers for me. That's going the extra mile. I highly recommend Teri Thomas and her Angels in the Making for any dog owner with a need. You won't be sorry.
