5/5

Fantastic training. Koa has learned allot so far, and so have her owners. 😊 Can't wait to see what we learn next. It's been a lot of fun, you learn new things and go home to implement them. Love how much we have learned in 2 nights so far! Looking forward to the next class. Thanks Diamond in the Ruff!

I think this is good a good option for pet owners of small breed dogs. The training room isn't large enough for large or giant breeds. It was difficult to move around with multiple dogs in a small area. More of a holistic approach in training.
