Joan Marie: I love showing clients their dog's potential and teaching them how to help their dog learn better behaviors. It's always rewarding whether there is a breakthrough in a difficult behavior or when a puppy achieves a new goal.
Joan H.: My goal in training involves showing compassion for both the dog and the dog's guardian. I'm thrilled when I can make a difference in their lives, whether through simple life skills or solving a behavior issue.
