My husband, Tony, and I thought we picked the perfect dog for our family. Scooter, a Havanese, was high energy and playful for our son and small and cuddly for us. Then the reality of potty training and controlling all that crazy puppy energy set in. We were in over our heads and I was quickly running out of patience. Scooter made everything harder! Answering the door was always stressful, mail on the table ended up shredded and all over the house, walks were miserable, and mopping was impossible around Scooter. He would even jump up and steal the laundry right out of my hands! My husband nick named him “Fluffy Nemesis”. So after already spending money for two semesters of training from our local pet mart, that clearly wasn’t enough for us, we called Sandy. I can’t say enough how things have changed in our household. I finally feel like I am speaking his language and he is listening! I no longer worry about him being a nuisance dog with every activity of daily living. He even rings a bell at the back door now when he wants to potty! Thank you, Sandy for helping us help Scooter.

My wife and I decided to adopt a dog from a shelter and their was some concern about Jake because his breed (australian shepherd) can be a handful. Although we both have had dogs before we decided to try go with Sandy for some personal training sessions. As young professionals we don't have a lot of extra money to spend so we were excited to find that the price was more than affordable and the service was beyond our expectations. Sandy's training method is well developed and she is especially talented at meeting the needs of both the dogs and owners. Her flexibility allowed us not to feel rushed, and is a true testament to her commitment to the families she serves.

Her focus on off leash voice command as well as establishing a healthy pet/owner relationship have made life with Jake unimaginable. Whether it be with friends and their small children, guest at our house, or accompanying me to work, I can be confident that he will behave and make himself available for all to enjoy.

Thank you Sandy, for your continuing personal service and I would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone motivated to have the pet of their dreams! Anyone who reads this is free to email me and ask any follow-up questions that may come up.

Two labs are a handful and I was becoming more and more stressed attempting to maintain some type of control of the two. My labs are my “kids” and I felt guilty not taking them to the park to play and get exercise. They were too hard to control and I could not walk them on leashes due to the tugging and pulling in separate directions. I called Sandy and after the first session I was able to walk the dogs with no problem and they listen to me. Sandy was the best thing I could do to regain control of the labs and my sanity.

Thanks again,
Kerrie

Sandy and her off leash training techniques were definitely a great investment. We did a lot of investigating into the different methods and options available. After talking with Sandy on the phone many times, we decided that her approach to obedience matched our training goals. Her numerous home visits, knowledge, caring approach and patience with our dog, and us, taught and helped us to form her into a happy, well-mannered member of the family.

Thank you again,
Jennifer, Kevin & Izzy

Thank you for helping me with Jazmin and Holly. The two dogs are more under control. Jazmin does not bark as much. They both stopped jumping on my company when they come over. I am now able to walk both of the dogs the same time without them pulling me every which way. My dogs have become more of a joy to have in my home.

Thanks,
Laura

Bill and I have, over the years, worked with four other dog trainers and Sandy is by far The Best! She is not only extremely knowledgeable and caring, but she makes it fun. For the very first time ever I am so eager to work with my dog. I experience fantastic results in a relatively short time. Dolby, our Lab, was uncontrollable just five weeks ago. After only two sessions with Sandy, today I was able to walk him past other dogs. Even though he was tempted to lunge, I walked by with my arm still in its socket, saying "Thank you Dolby. What A good dog!" Woopie...Thank you Sandy!
