“She is the only trainer who has successfully addressed the problem. 4 other trainers failed!!”

“Sandy is so positive and really cares about my dog. She's also so helpful in thinking up new ways to solve problems.”

The best part of Sandy’s services were “how she tailored her advice to my dog's specific issues. she seemed to understand her, few other trainers have been able to do this.”

“Sandy is very enthusiastic and positive, remarkably patient.”

“We are seeing growth each week and plan for more in the coming session.”

The best part of Sandy’s services were “her can-do, positive attitude and the way she modelled good interactions with the dog and helped train ME to appropriately interact with my dog in order to get the dog to do what I wanted. Also, after the in-home help and the class, she was very helpful when I contacted her with follow-up questions via both phone and email.”
