Group Classes
I cannot say enough about Deborah. She is awesome. I can absolutely say that she really cares about the dogs, and her clients, and she knows how to get results. We have been through one and a half classes and one at home session so far and the difference in Tilly is amazing. We have been able to transform Tilly from a poor scared puppy afraid of everything and everyone into a well behaved (mostly) social butterfly. This Saturday we had a party at our house with 20 guests, and sandwich platters set out right at nose level. The party was a success! No jumping, growling, barking, food snatching, running around, knocking people over or hiding! When we started a few months ago, this would NOT have been possible. Thank you Deborah! -Jeanna and Tilly

Consultations
We are so happy that we decided to bring our 4 month old GoldenDoodle to see Deborah. We first began with the 90 minute consultation - the best 90 minutes you could ever spend with your pooch! We are currently enrolled in the Puppy II class and we have a lot of fun every Saturday. We learn so much about the basic instincts of our dog and how we need to react to get the results that WE want. Deborah also sold us a special harness for both of our dogs that has really changed the way we interact with them because we can now take them both for walks without having them pull us around. Now WE have total control! Debrorah is a wonderful trainer - and remember that she has to train YOU-not the dog. Jessica Elwess & Riley

Growly Class
I have to admit, I was skeptical about bringing our dog Jack into a class with a bunch of other "growly" dogs. When we began the private training sessions with Deborah, Jack could not even look at another dog across the street without becoming growly. It had gotten to the point where it was incredibly stressful to even take him out of the house for walks! With Deborah''s patience and expertise, Jack was transformed from volatile and reactive to calm, relaxed, and non-reactive in the presence of other dogs, even in close proximity! This class has far exceeded my expectations for Jack, and for myself. Thank you Deborah for giving us the tools and training we needed to help our no-longer "growly" dog! - Erin Hayter & Jack

Growly Class
Thank you so much for this class. It has made a tremendous difference in how Justice reacts (or doesnt) to other dogs, as well as runners, bicyclests and anything moving! I am confident that he will continue to improve with the use of your techniques. I believe the number of dogs and contstant introduction of new dogs was a huge key to the success of this class. Rema & Justice

Group Classes
Ozzie was already well-behaved when he started Advanced Puppy class, but my goal was to pass the CGC test. 6 weeks with Deborah and we not only passed, he also passed a Therapy Dog test! She is patient and quick to answer questions. It is obvious that Deborah is doing what she loves and she is very good at it! As an added bonus, Ozzie loves her too! Courtney Taylor and Ozzie

Within a week of bringing Daisy, our Lab puppy home, my husband & I figured we had the next "Marley". We called our puppy Crazy Daisy. I went to a puppy seminar that Deborah gave & was impressed with her positive style of dog training. I signed up for a private consultation & was able to start the training process. Daisy & I have also attended (and graduated) Puppy Kindergarten & Puppy II classes. With Deborah''s positive training style, encouragement & patience, Daisy & I are on the way to being well trained companions. I no longer call her "Crazy Daisy". Thank you Deborah! Debbie & Daisy McCollum

Puppy Class
I was so fortunate to spend 12 weeks in two puppy classes (puppy kindergarten and puppy II) learning how to communicate with and train my new miniature Schnauzer puppy. He has grown into a well behaved companion even beyond my expectations. Deborah is patient and persistent at helping folks understand the nature of their dogs and how to establish a great relationship with them. Friends, family and the general public always comment on how well behaved Ruger is and I owe my thanks to Deborah. Jennifer Shannon and Ruger

Puppy Class
This is our first time owning a puppy and we are having a great experience. Our daughter has sensory integration issues and choosing the right puppy was critical for us and Deborah really helped guide us toward the right breed and taught us what to look for in choosing a puppy. As soon as we brought our cockapoo Lupin home, Deborah got us off on the right foot. Puppy Kindergarten has been an amazing class to not only watch our own puppy grow and learn but to watch our whole, highly diverse, cohort of puppes grow and learn much to the skill and patience of Deborah. Deborah brings great knowledge, experience, humor and her great love of canines and their often hapless owners to all our sessions. Our many thanks. Jennifer and Julian

Puppy Class
The Puppy class provides a balance of play (learning social skills), learning basic commands (sit, down, come, leave it) and techniques for dealing with issues, i.e. timidness, aggression, biting, jumping up. Deborah''''s techniques of using positive reward-based training works with even the most energetic of dog breeds. Every session is fun and informative. Thanks, Deborah, for giving me the skills to have a well-mannered dog. We''ll be coming back for Puppy II Class! Kathy Richardson and Nicky
