"Thank you for giving me (and my dog) the confidence to take those first steps into the show ring and for teaching me to teach my dog how to behave and look her best. It's been a lot of fun for both of us." A. Saenz
"I swear you can solve just about any problem. You turned my problem dogs into angels and taught me and my show dogs how to look great and do our best in the show ring. I greatly appreciate your help and honesty." W. Harris
"I'm so glad I didn't follow through with taking my dog to the shelter and instead turned around and called you! I'm thankful for all your help and patience!" S. Lawrence

"We started out with another trainer, but after 4 lessons we'd still gotten absolutely nowhere so we decided to call someone else....you. Your common sense approach to training and discipline was a perfect match for our dogs and we're so happy with their progress. Thank you so much for your help. D. Cary
