Client testimonials
“Abbie has been wonderful to work with. I called her a dog whisperer for a reason. I appreciate that she’s taken my biggest concern with Bingo and his reactivity to other dogs, and put it at the forefront of our work together. I am excited to see where we can get Bingo in his training and am incredibly thankful for all of her help.”
Frances B. & Bingo the Heeler puppy
“I can see the progress that Piper has made! I used to be afraid to take her places because I thought she’d be a terror. Abbie helped us with loose leash walking and focus work. I now know what to do when Piper wants to bark or tries to pull ahead on the leash.”
