What our clients say about us
It fills our hearts to get your kind words. Thank you for your thoughtfullness!
I feel blessed to have met her. Her training is priceless.
I was referred to Dawn by my vet. We had recently rescued a Morkie, Dexter Morgan from the shelter he was 4 months old and very loving but an absolute whack-a-doodle. I was afraid for his total lack of listening, consistent barking. Basically he was running the house. Our first meeting with Dawn was amazing.
I would definitely and do recommend her to family and friends.
"Dawn is a great instructor"
Dawn is a great instructor – we enjoyed our time in class at the park! Thank you, Dawn, for a positive experience with training Teddy. We enjoyed our times at the park with you and learned a lot about how to work with Teddy.
