FirstBarkThe owner Stephanie is a great trainer. She is friendly and very knowledgeable about best training practices. We used her to learn all the basics when we got our puppy, and she helped us train our crazy energetic pup into a well-behaved dog. Plus our dog absolutely loves her too! Our dog has been to a few days of day school and always comes home happy and tired.

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
What is your favorite dog breed?
Thanks for asking, Keith! My personal favorite breed of dog is an English Shepherd, but that doesn't mean I recommend them for everyone! I do love helping people find the right breed or dog for them and their lifestyle! If you mean for working with as a trainer, my favorite "breed" is problematic teenagers. Dogs between 6 months and 2 years old are the most likely group to lose their homes. This is primarily because of behavior issues and formal training is the number one solution to this! Teenagers are difficult in any species! I love these cases because I can make the biggest difference in the shortest amount of time. With just a few correctly implemented changes, clients go from desperate to empowered!

I have been a dog trainer for 20 years and there are few people I would trust with my dogs. Stephanie and crew are the best and knowing my puppy was in a safe environment while learning crucial socialization skills was a gift. They helped me lay the foundation for my puppy and I can't thank them enough.

We adopted a shelter dog who is sweet but needs socialization and his humans to know how best to work with him. So we purchased the troublesome teenager pack that notre dog offers. We had our first visit with Stephanie in our home and it was fantastic. She taught us some great foundational things to work on with our sweet boy and so far those things have been helping a ton. I can't wait for the rest of the visits we will have with Stephanie and continuing to learn from her.
Highly recommend Stephanie to anyone needing help learning how to work with their fur babies in a positive reinforcing style. Our mascot, Daisy loves her!
