Cindy is incredibly knowledgeable and absolutely wonderful with pups! We learned so much from her training and feel like she gave us the perfect foundation for raising a well-trained, confident pup. Her training tactics have made such a difference. We’re so grateful for all of her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic dog trainer!

We had a wonderful experience with Cindy. We came to her because we adopted a 7 month old dog, named Ranger, with no social experience. I wanted to make sure we started training right away. She was patient, knowledgeable and gave us clear practical guidance to use at home. He is definitely more confident and attentive now. We are grateful for all the tips she has given us. Definitely would recommend her if you are looking for a trainer who cares about the dogs.

I originally signed up for the puppy classes, and was so thrilled, I continued on to the intermediate classes. One thing I really enjoy is the location. It’s very clean, peaceful, and most importantly NOT in the middle of a store. I have never done puppy classes before and did not want to take classes inside a store with people watching me. So, the location was super important to me. Another great aspect is all the advice Cindy gives. I was having trouble with Finn’s anxiety inside the crate, and she gave me great tips (frozen Kong!!) that have completely turned around Finn’s view of the crate! Very grateful I found Cindy!

This is the place Zuko and I been looking for! We tried somewhere else and it was mostly discipline. It never seemed to work with Zuko. Started here and loved the idea that the dogs don’t see each other. Cindy is very knowledgeable . With everything I learned we are making amazing progress! Would definitely suggest to everyone. Positive reinforcement is 100% the way to go.

I have taken my puppy through two courses with Cindy. Not only has it been extremely helpful in guiding his behaviors in a positive and constructive way, he absolutely loves coming!
