BARKIMONIAL


Thank you and your staff so much for your work with Scout; she is a changed dog. My husband and I can now relax at home with her. She knows her limits and is just so much more manageable. I have learned so much from you in handling a dog with serious issues.

Last night my husband walked Scout and they came upon a woman with two dogs. My husband said he had Scout sit and she sat calmly until they passed. My husband is amazed and so happy.

Thank you again, we are grateful for your help (and your energy).
