What others are saying

"Our Puppy Listens"

"The Life Skills & Good Manners focus helped our puppy, Max, learn leash walking, basic commands, and proper manners, making him a joy to have at home and in public. - Sarah A.

"Highly recommend this"

"Thanks to Teresa, our border collie Finley is now a relaxed & happy member of our household. It is hard to explain how hyper, demanding & out of control Finn was. Teresa taught us how to understand Finley's energy & stress levels and - thank god! - how to help calm & look to us for instruction before bolting off after every distraction - Laurie B.
