Carol was the picture of dog training. We have a 2 yo Blue Great Dane (Amos), and he is a real pain in the you know what sometimes. Carol gave suggestions for training. Carol made sure we followed through with our home-work and followed up with us throughout the weeks of training. Carol stepped in gave us the tools and guidance we needed, trained us to teach the dog... and... he is now the great dane we wanted!! He listens (for the most part), he comes on command, he sits, stays, and sit-stays. He will now stay until released. Though we are still battling with incessant barking at inanimate objects, he will work through this with Carol's direction. Even though he may have tripped her a time or two... Thank you, Carol! For giving us the Amos we have wanted all these years!!

Carol was amazing with our dogs. We have a 2 year old, 9 month old at 13 year old. She was able to work on the minor changes needed with the older dogs while still putting a lot of focus into our youngest. We orginally sought out board and train but decided to go with in home training so all the dogs could learn and be succesful. She did not charge extra for multiple doga. My dogs became very excited to see her each visit and she has been wonderful. We are going to continue our work with her before giving birth to our first baby this year

We got a 12 week old puppy last Christmas for our daughter. Carol was recommended by our vet who are personal friends of ours. We have been working with Carol since February. She is very passionate about dogs and her work to help make them wonderful pets. She is the equivalent of having the dog whisperer in our home weekly to teach us how to be pack leaders and learn how our puppy is progressing. Our puppy is so excited to see her when she walks in the door. Carol has a great knack for knowing the best way to teach our dog in a positive and rewarding process. Each dog has different needs. Our puppy works real hard to learn from her and is always exhausted at the end of our sessions from being so focused. We are so pleased with the positive changes in our puppy. She is now seven months old and we continue to move into age and progress appropriate learning activities. Thank you, Carol, for taking the stress out of training our puppy to be the pet we hoped to have. We couldn't have gotten this far withou you. LT

Carol and professional and really knows her stuff. My Chihuahua was completely out of control and an embarrassment to walk around the neighborhood. Carol has trained me how to control her and now my chihuahua actually listens and looks to me for instructions. I have learned so much from her and really enjoyed working with her and watching her make my dogs behave. I would definitely recommend her if you are having problems with your dogs behavior.
