Paige is AMAZING! She turned my little terror into an Angel!! I get so many compliments on how well behaved he is everywhere I go. It brings such a smile to my face because before the board and train it was very stressful to take him anywhere. Not anymore! He goes everywhere with me. I highly recommend Paige and Vanessa for any training needs.

"Vanessa and Sam were great with my Lily Bean. I had been working with another trainer without results.In just 4 weeks I see such a difference in Lily. Not only did they know how to train my adolescent dog, you could tell how much they enjoyed working with her. Thank. you so much!"
