We had such a wonderful experience in the reactive dog training program with our trainer Anna. I was hesitant to even take my two year old cockapoo on a walk because he was so reactive to other dogs and people. I signed up for the five week program and I couldn’t be happier. Anna fully explained everything, made sure I understood what the commands were and in just five weeks was able to completely change his behavior. I no longer worry when I take him out in public. Highly recommend

Business response

It’s wonderful to know that you now feel confident taking him out in public. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we appreciate you sharing your experience. If you ever need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

I can't recommend Rebecca highly enough! She was incredibly patient, a fantastic communicator, and truly took the time to understand both me and my dog’s needs. What impressed me most was how quickly my dog warmed up to her — it was clear she has a natural way with animals. Her guidance was not only effective but also encouraging, and I felt supported every step of the way. If you're looking for someone who combines professionalism with genuine care and understanding, look no further!

Rebecca has done such a great job with our girls. They’ve come a long way in two short months. We hate that our training time with her is up. We look forward to hopefully catching a class in the future.
