Missy is amazing! How she knows so much just by looking at a dog is insane to me! I am currently working on aggression issues - went to Missy for 4 sessions. She gave me advice that deep inside I felt embarrassed that I didn’t know but she does not make it awkward or make you feel like a bad dog parent at all! Using her tips and advice and what to watch for along with redirecting focus- I have not had another fight and able to prevent fights that may have happened. Also- it seems like my dog is happier because her dreams went from wolf like scary growling to wagging her tail and running in her sleep! Thank you thank you!

Missy is awesome. Her love and devotion to the dogs is just amazing. Her knowledge about dogs whether from a training, behavioral, or nutritional standpoint, is so helpful. She also works with the Humane Society and has given many dogs a second chance at getting into a new home.

Very disappointed, showed up for our scheduled appointment, that we prepaid for and the young lady didn't know we were coming and was confused. We talked about what we would work on with my dog, she said she would email the information either that night or the next morning. She was having a bad day so would not get to it right away. It has been 3 weeks and have never heard one word from them How unprofessional, I would not recommend them!!!!

Nerdy K9 is amazing! I have/had a super reactive German Shepard! We got kicked out of PetSmart for him barking and the main manager deemed his as aggressive, went and met with Missy she said it wasn’t aggression but reactive. We only did 3 sessions with her and felt like it was sufficient because yes he still needs a muzzle but it’s not the whole time around new people it’s 1 or 2 minutes top and even then he’s not barking we do it for our own safety in case he’s nervous we had 3 new people he never met over the other day and was fine with all of them wanting loving! So THANK YOU MISSY! You made me realize it’s ok to have a reactive dog and it’s ok that he’s scared. By far recommend missy 100% she’s straight forward and upfront with you!
