Richard and Shelby did amazing with our 2 dogs. We did 3 week day training with both of our girls back in Jan and Feb (Corgie and Newfoundland).

We had only ever trained with treats and that just wasn't working this time. But Steph did know how to train her. After training, our dog is calm and confident. She can loose leash walk in the neighborhood at heel. She's patient and well mannered. A model citizen. She...read full review
