Our Services
"Ally was amazing with our dog Fudge who needed fine tuning with recall, extra mental stimulation activities, and generally being more polite with other dogs so that he can make friends.
Her insight and depth of knowledge with different breeds is inspiring and enables her to formulate an exact plan for your pooch! The lesson instilled both knowledge and confidence in me and my dog, and put us back onto a path that was more positive for us".
