We have a very reactive, deaf dog. Cheryl gave us hope for the first time that we will be able to take our dog on walks without her having a traumatic experience. We are so grateful. Absolutely recommended.

Cheryl is hands down the best dog trainer I've ever worked with. Being a vet tech of 24 years, I have worked with so many types of trainers, and Cheryl just continues to amaze me with her compassion, her patience, her knowledge and her wisdom of dog behavior, and the human animal bond. I recommend her to anyone asking about training.

Cheryl is amazing. Her approach to dogs is kind and positive while also being very logical and effective. She collaborates with you to create a training regimen to correct any unwanted behavior, which in the end makes the dog and their owner much happier. She will send you detailed notes after your session with many helpful links - it is a great reference tool to refer back to as you work with your dog.
