What People Are Saying

Our clients' success speaks volumes.

"Delores has such a powerful connection with dogs and their behaviors. She helped us navigate some troubling adolescent behaviors that were evolving in our dog Quinn and taught us how to help Quinn through triggering events. Her positive training techniques are a game changer. Highly recommend Delores and her team!"

 "I just had to send a text to let you know how well things are going. Our summer evenings have been spent tossing toys to Charlotte in our yard, leash-free, fence-free. That was our number one goal. You taught me how to work with Charlotte and train her, fear-free, and it has worked. She doesn't bolt anymore when we open the door. She trusts. Thank you! You work miracles. :) Alison
