Wow! Thurman’s Place is truly so great. Lulu came back such a well behaved girl. She is respectful of our space, her ability to walk well on a leash, and honestly moderate her energy has been great. Karen and Grace are communicative and engaged. They have my highest recommendation!
Strongly Recommend! Karen, her staff and family are caring, educated, phenomenal employees, with great communication. Our pup had an amazing time, learned a lot, and we still go back for Pack Play. Can’t thank Karen and her team enough. Extremely satisfied!
Can’t recommend enough! Karen and her team were great to work with. We are so happy with training both we and our dog received and very thankful for the post training support. Will send all my future dogs here for training!
Karen and her team are all amazing. My pup came back happy and seems to now be a good citizen. I'll probably be sending my other dog for training as well soon!
