I have 2 sibling Cane Corso that I boarded for 2 weeks with Katelyn. Each day she shared videos of progress made and gave great information with how to continue their behavior training. When they finished their training, they no longer tugged their leashes or tugged when distracted. We were able to test their distraction skills at home with several kids on the street making noise on bikes. Both dogs stayed engaged during this time and did not let the distractions break their concentration with commands. I’m excited to have more freedom with these dogs, take them with me (hassle free) when I’m out and about, and mostly to see that they’ll be living a little happier with less confusion. Highly recommend this program! Katelyn is knowledgeable, professional, and determined to understand what has caused the unwanted behaviors so they can be corrected. After their first night home, I was able to let them off leash in the back yard to work on recalls. During this time, neighborhood cats walked through neighboring yards without the dogs reacting. Before their training, they would have chased down any neighborhood pets in a defensive manner. It’s great to know that they are focused on me and my communication to them rather than their instinct to defend when it’s not needed. Again, highly recommend this program if you want to have a better relationship with your pups!

Theo did 2 weeks with Casi and we couldn’t be happier! He was able for the first time to walk without pulling me over, even when he saw a squirrel run across the road in front of him. He’s always been a barker when he sees dogs out the window. Using the come and sit commands, he was able to ignore dogs walking by on his first day home. I am so glad we invested the time and money for Theo. I’m not worried to walk him and he enjoys his walks now too

Highly recommend! Our dog learned so much in the 1-week board and train. He was given a lot of love and attention during his stay. He even got to use his new skills in various setting with his trainer. Best of all - Casi updated us everyday with pics and videos! The best!

Ashley was amazing with our puppy Tucker. He’s so well mannered and is still learning. She’s been super helpful anytime we have had questions. Tucker loved his time with her and he had a great time!
