This is our third dog in 14 years to do the board and train with ecollar with off Leash. Mandy did a great job giving our new one year old rescue Shepinois confidence and helping him understand boundaries. He is no longer out of control and for the first time we were able to take him out with us to grab a burger on the patio at a local place. We also had visitors this morning and for the first… Read more

We also had visitors this morning and for the first time he did not charge them like he wanted to eat their face off. Amazing work and THANK YOU Mandy!!! Read less

Our 7 month old Petey had a great experience. The regular updates and progress was truly amazing and kept us informed. Our loving and happy but stubborn staffy pit mix had greatly improved his manners, door obedience, daily walks, and overall interactions with people and pets. Mandy took the time to ensure our entire family could understand and implement the commands to ensure long last results. Great experience all around.

We are very happy with the results of the training done for a spirited dachshund! Mandy has been fantastic and we see a huge difference with how he responds to us now that he's home. The hand-off training we received was very in-depth and she took extra time to answer A LOT of questions. We are still educating ourselves, but feeling much more confident and assured that we can reach out at anytime to get further instruction. Overall, we highly… Read more

We had a great experience working with Mandy as our dog trainer. She was incredibly communicative throughout the process, sending daily video updates so we could see how our dogs were progressing. With four dogs, each with their own unique personalities and challenges, we knew it wouldn’t be easy—but Mandy helped us reach a place where we now feel confident having them all out together at the same time.

We had a great experience working with Mandy as our dog trainer. She was incredibly communicative throughout the process, sending daily video updates so we could see how our dogs were progressing. With four dogs, each with their own unique personalities and challenges, we knew it wouldn’t be easy—but Mandy helped us reach a place where we now feel confident having them all out together at the same time.
I intentionally waited before writing this review to make sure the results would last and that the tools Mandy gave us would hold up long-term—and they absolutely have. That said, the training does require commitment at home. It’s an investment, and one that really pays off if you’re willing to keep reinforcing what your dog learns.
We’ve seen major improvements in behavior. Our dogs used to freeze in the middle of the street on the way to the groomer, but now they walk in calmly, without pulling, and they’re noticeably more relaxed around people in public. Even greetings at the door—always a chaotic moment—have become much more manageable, both for us and our guests.
Two of our dogs have had serious issues getting along, but with Mandy’s guidance and the introduction of tools like the “place” command, we’re now able to safely de-escalate situations before they get out of hand.
We’re very grateful for the progress and structure Mandy has helped bring into our lives. Highly recommend her if you’re ready to put in the work alongside your dogs. Read less

We had a great experience with Mandy! She has given us so much more freedom to be able to take our dog along with us and not have to worry about how she’ll behave on the leash. Mandy genuinely cares about her clients and their animals. The progress videos we received throughout our dog’s boarding were heartwarming and reassuring that she was receiving the best training. We’ve had consistent follow up even after our training has ended and we can… Read more
