Bradley was great but a woman named Karen was awful. That’s why I gave a bad review at first and I don’t know how to fix this. Bradley was doing it out of love and care for the ANIMAL but Karen was doing it for the money.

Joan is a wonderful trainer, not only for my sweet dog Hannah but also for me as a first-time dog owner. She provides easy-to-follow training materials, homework for both me and Hannah that works!

20 years training dogs
How did you get started doing this type of work?
My love of animals dates back to when I was 7 and a stray cat followed me home. Dogs are my passion, I train in a positive fun environment.
