She also understand how we the pet owner, cause most of the issues and is very capable of training us too! She is the best and if you want the best for you and your pet, get Theresa!

EXCELLENT trainer. My husband & I were days away from possibly re-homing our labradoodle due to anxiety and failed training methods. After meeting with Theresa from a referral from a neighbor we sent Toby to boot camp at VIPet services. After three weeks of training we have the dog we envisioned when we purchased him. Theresa is a Wonder Woman and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking an honest and EXCELLENT trainer. My husband and I both thank you. Colleen & Greg T.
About 8 months ago I enrolled Zuni into the VIPet Rock Star Program and it was an absolute success. I could tell that not only she learned good manners, she also had so much fun and received lots of love. Thank you Theresa.
Super WOW!! We have a rescue lab-mix, Ginger, who knew only to sit and down for treats only. She is the sweetest dog, but also came with a lot of anxiety, barking, jumping and charging at people/dogs when on the leash. I did not feel safe for the recipients of those actions.

Super WOW!! We have a rescue lab-mix, Ginger, who knew only to sit and down for treats only. She is the sweetest dog, but also came with a lot of anxiety, barking, jumping and charging at people/dogs when on the leash. I did not feel safe for the recipients of those actions. Our vet recommended Theresa/VIPetservices. We called for our consultation, and Theresa witnessed our plight. We opted for the 3 week board and train. We received videos and pictures/texts of Ginger's progress throughout her training. It was amazing to see her listening, "place", and walking so calmly on the leash with distractions!. Ginger is a much more calm and happy dog, and we could not be prouder and amazed of her accomplishments in just 3 weeks. And no more chasing the cats... If you too are having issues with your dog, call VIPetservices /Theresa Goodman, she is a professional, kind and reliable trainer, who will transform your dog. We could have never done this without her knowledge and expertise. Thank you so much VIPetservice for your services, we could not be happier with our Ginger's results. Morgerson family; Terry, Pat, Amelia, cats Thomas and Marty and Ginger
