Carleen clearly cares about dogs and their well-being. I am so thankful for her help. She is extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. She was patient, punctual, and really helped us sort out what the issues were. At no point did I feel like she was rushing us. I look forward to working with her more to make Calvin and Hobbes 2 happy, well-behaved dogs..

I love Karlene and her team. She has an amazing training program and is so kind, helpful, and diligent. Her programs are thoughtfully designed and she takes amazing care of the animals that attend. It has made an impressive difference for our dogs. She is truly there for the animals and people alike.

Karlene came twice for private consultation to assist me with my One year old Labrador jumping and wild behaviors when someone comes to the door. Karlene gave me so much insight as to why my dog displayed the behaviors and how to prevent them. I cannot thank her enough, and I highly recommend her to others! I was so impressed with her that I have signed up for classes. Karlene is truly An expert with dog knowledge and truly cares about the well-being of our pets.

We have been training with Karlene for almost 2yrs. It started when we needed reinforcements with one of our service dogs that was not fully trained. We were referred to Karlene by our atty. fast forward, we had to retire that dog because of the kids at my daughter’s school. I literally called Karlene in tears. She said I have the perfect SD for your daughter (Karlene was fostering him and was going to keep him as her SD. Karlene said she was willing to let us try him as my daughter needed him more than she did) we met the dog and decided to give him a chance. We have been through all the classes and have been told in public what a well trained dog he is. I drive over an hour for him to be professionally trained for my daughter. Karlene and her staff are amazing to work with. They are tee

Our 1yr old rescue had to survive on his own most of his puppyhood, didn't know how to "play" without nipping and struggled with dominating any male figures. Being first-time dog owners, we didn't hesitate and reached out to Karlene. Through a couple of one-on-one classes she helped us turn Tars a complete 180. She evaluates what's right for your dog at the start of each session and walks you through each exercise. Not once did we feel like she was going through a checklist or rushing us through an appointment. Working with her was invaluable and gave us the tools to ensure Tars lives a long and happy life with us.
