Client Testimonials

Cooper
"Having a very stressed (and reactive) rescue pup of my own, I had been in search of a dog trainer for a while. Gina met and exceeded my expectations. Not only did she listen to my concerns, but she did a great job coming up with a training plan for my dog Cooper. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog trainer that has the best interest of your dog in mind!"

Hank
"I cannot recommend Gina enough as a dog trainer! Her training methods are effective, humane and tailored to each dog's unique personality. Gina's patience, dedication and positive reinforcement techniques made the entire process enjoyable for both of us and our dog."

Wilbur
"Gina is excellent with the quirky dogs who need to move at their own pace. She's helped to equip us with lots of tips and tricks on how to work with a dog who has fear aggression and trust issues. We have learned a lot from Gina and Wilbur has come a long way since we started working with her. We are forever grateful for her support and patience with us and Wilbur."
