Leann was great to work with! She had our crazy 7month old puppy under control in the first visit. We had the tools we needed to understand our puppy and enjoy her more!! Leann will help you with all issues inside your home and out in public areas. I would highly recommend her!! Thank you Leann for making life more enjoyable with our puppy!!

Bridget Morgan

Leann is wonderful to work with. She took time to understand our needs/goals for our dog and has helped provide the tools we needed. I am amazed at the progress we have made, and feel very grateful for her expertise. It is clear she has love of animals and has the goal of seeing you succeed in having a well behaved, respectful dog which makes having a dog such a joy!

Pete Mitchell

Leann’s knowledge is clearly superb and she continues to grow this too, which is very reassuring. She is very professional and takes an individual approach to each dog based on its character. Both our dog and I love working with her and have enjoyed seeing her progress. Cannot recommend enough!!!!!!
