Joan responded to our request immediately. She gave me a good outline of what her training offered over the phone. During the evaluation the dogs responded to her right away and she had them doing a couple different commands during that short time. She gave us homework to give consistency to the dogs and they will be ready for the next lesson. I liked that she offered a “bundle” that is affordable and has a six week plan. Very impressed.

Do not pay Joan for services up front. She will come the first couple of lessons and then either ignore you for the rest of the sessions or give you excuses about how things suddenly come up, kind of like pulling the covid card. She will even ask you to pay half up front. Does not know how to run a business I would suggest you going with another provider. Much better providers out there.

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.
