TRAINING OPTIONS
"Andy sent me daily videos and explanations of how he was spending time with Accalia and what he was teaching her. Not only could I see that Accalia was happy, she was relaxed and calm. His videos showed me how to reinforce good behaviors so that I could do the same when she came home.
She's been home a few days now, and it's like I have a new dog. I can sit in the morning and drink my coffee without her getting all crazy any time someone walks by."
~ Accalia the lab mix (Mom: Maureen)

Who this program is for:

We're confident that this upfront investment will yield immense rewards for both you and your kindred companion in the long run.
