Theresa helped me build boundaries and respect with my rescue. At the consultation I knew I liked her style of training because it wasn’t dominating but more relationship building. She gave me tools to work on reactivity in certain situation and really helped me and my dog build confidence. I also love that she works with a local rescue to provide training to those dogs to increase their chances of finding their forever homes. If you are thinking about training, just do it. She has reasonable pricing and helps build a priceless bond between you and your dog!

We adopted our Stella at 3 months old. She was sweet and seemed to pick things up quickly but didn’t listen consistently and was very nervous around new things. We signed up for a beginner class when Stella was about 6 months old. However, due to last minute cancellations, she was the only one in class and got lots of one-on-one attention. Theresa was wonderful! She taught us SO much throughout the 6 weeks. Not only did Stella learn the basics, but Theresa gave us the tools we needed to help work through the challenges we were having. We cannot thank her enough for all the work she did with our little sweetheart, and everything she taught us in the process!
1-1 training far exceeded our expectations. VIPet Services came highly recommended by our local veterinarian. We are ecstatic about the results we have achieved with our 5-year-old labradoodle, “the spirited one”, and our 3-month-old goldendoodle.

My 11-month-old Mini Goldendoodle just graduated from his 5-week training program, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the progress he’s made! Theresa has been absolutely incredible — not only did my pup learn so much, but I did too. He now lays down and stays until released, no longer jumps on people, and is walking so much better on the leash. We are working on being out in public and having good manners. The improvement over these past few weeks has been amazing, and I’m beyond grateful for Theresa’s guidance and expertise. Thank you so much Theresa! - Shaelyn & Archie
