I can't say enough good about Valerie, Keisha, and the The Service Dog Team Acadamy. Over the years, I have had several rescue dogs, many of them fosters that need to be trained to help find them loving homes. Some broken, some shy and others that lived on the streets that trusting another dogs was very hard.
Every dog they had worked with for me has turned into the most loving, trusting, well-behaved dogs. I always call them when I need help and they run to help. If you want the best training for your dogs please call them, you will NOT be disappointed. And by the way, all my dogs love and trust them.
