From one of our Calm Dog students: "I just wanted to send a quick note to tell you that I am THRILLED with this class for my dog. It’s nice and low key for him (he does have a tendency to get a little wired up, and that was one of the challenges we had at previous training schools). I love, love, love it. It is exactly what the doctor ordered for him! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU – you are the BEST!!!!!"
