I don't think they do. But I'm sure if they don't that they can direct you in doing so.

Mancini and Shelly are so great. I adopted my pit bull Titan from a shelter and he is very stubborn. Trying to get him to walk on a leash was terrible. After putting Titan in the week training I was amazed at how well he walked on a leash and listened to me. Mancini and Shelly truly care about all the dogs they see and put love into their work. Titan is very well-behaved now even gets compliments on his behavior from neighbors. When I leave town I put Titan in the boarding program with Mancini because I know he's in good hands there and will be treated as good as he is in his own home.

Did puppy training on my Labradoodle. She's still a puppy and super energetic but was completely potty trained, doesn't run out doors and I feel got a great start thanks to Shelly and Mancini. Even kept her a little longer cause she's stubborn and wanted to ensure the basics were down.

We have a very stubborn Yorkshire Terrier name Allie. She is 4 now, but when she was a puppy, her behavior was so bad that my husband wanted to re-home her saying that she was "un-trainable." I was very upset over this. I found Mind Your Manners online and talked to Mancini and he agreed to help me. Allie went to his 2-week Board and Train program. When she came back she was a different dog. Thanks to Mancini, Allie is still a (now well behaved) member of our family! She also goes back for a visit when we need boarding as well. We couldn't be happier with Mind Your Manners!

I recommend them to anyone who has an unruly dog. I took my dog Bruno there for their 21 day course and he came back a totally different dog. I am so thankful to Mancini and his wife Shelly. Bruno now comes when I call his name and I can guest over to visit without him jumping on them. I couldn't say thank you enough
