Jo at She's a Keeper is an exceptional trainer. Very knowledgable and helpful with our anxious border collie. When we need a tune-up, I'll be calling her again.

Having to dogs trained by Jo And it has been nothing short of Amazing I have had to dogs prior and had trained myself ,the difference has been both my dogs were 8 weeks when they came home and both were only dogs. We have rescued these dogs and they had both experienced rough beginnings Jo has helped them and us learn to trust and showed us the way to help our pups heal safe and learn. I can't give high enough grades to the exceptionally great service we have been given. I honestly would never be able to recommend any other because the level has been so high with She's a keeper

We adopted our dog Charlie and struggled a lot initially with his impulsive behavior and high energy. The shelter connected us with Isys and Jo at She's a Keeper for some initial one on one sessions. They were so helpful and Charlie made GREAT progress. Charlie has now recently returned from a three week board and train at SAK with Andy. I cannot recommend Andy and this program more highly. Andy took the time to discuss and set mutual goals for Charlie's stay. We felt included in the journey all the way through and really enjoyed seeing all the progress Charlie was making via the daily upload of multiple videos and pictures. Andy and his team's explanations and information sharing through the videos was so helpful. Andy spent a couple of hours with our family on Charlie's return and left us feeling that we had all the information and tools to continue Charlie's training journey and set him up for success. He is a changed dog!! He is MUCH calmer, engaged and we are able to easily redirect any unwanted behavior. He clearly thrived at SAK and we couldn't be happier. Harmony at home is now restored :) Thank you Andy and everyone at SAK - forever grateful to you all

Milton our 1 1/2 year old English Bulldog just returned home from his 3 week board and train at Shes a Keeper. The bottom line is if you want your dog to be better behaved, safe and confident this is the only place you need to look. This is the best investment in your dog and your family living with a dog that you can make. Andy our trainer is just an exceptional dog trainer AND human being. Melissa also was amazing! Number one important thing when your dog is away for training is communication. From the minute we left Milton we were texting with Andy. I can honestly say there was never a time that if I texted a question there was never more than a few minutes that Andy or Melissa did not answer! They asked me questions all along the way so they could bond and take the best care of Milton possible. Additionally we had too numerous to count videos of Miltons progress every single day. His progress was remarkable. And the way they love and treat the dogs is exactly the way you love and treat your dog. Milton was trained in (and outside) the facility, in Andy's house and was brought to stores. Milton came home 3 days ago. He smelled great (bathed and groomed to come home!) and his face creases were completely dry and not stinky. I mention this as if you are a Bully dog owner, you know this is a great test of the standard of time-consuming care! At drop off, Andy spent three hours with our family of 6 and each of us was given the opportunity to learn one on one with Andy practicing Miltons new skills. Andy also dropped off a manual with step by step instructions of how to help us be successful with Milton which was an added bonus. I have been in touch with Andy every day asking questions to ensure we are being as consistent and effective with Milton as possible. Andy answers texts not just in a yes or no fashion but with detailed responses. So not only is the training amazing but the after training experience is also very very impressive. I know if we need any additional guidance Shes a Keeper will be there for us! We are so grateful and appreciative of all the training, love and care that Shes a Keeper gave to Milton and our family. We are looking forward to boarding Milton and having him attend daycare at the facility. Thank you again Andy, Melissa and the entire Shes a Keeper community!!!
We sent our 1-year old Labrador to She's A Keeper and my wife and I think it's the best investment we've ever made.

We sent our 1-year old Labrador to She's A Keeper and my wife and I think it's the best investment we've ever made. Andy and Isys took such great care of her, and it's obvious they care about not just our dog's training, but about our success as a family. They post daily videos of the training which is a great way to "learn" alongside your pup. My older dog (who did not Board n Train) is learning from his little sister now! We really can't recommend SAK enough - it's changed our lives and made us love our canine companions even more.
