"Adam, you have done such an amazing job with our Cleo. She has returned a completely different dog. Very responsive and engaged! She had a lot of psycho moments - jumping like a kangaroo and constantly nipping, which was ultimately testing our patience. Clearly, you’ve showed us how to use Cleo’s extreme energy and drive to our advantage. We feel much more confident with her around our toddler and will definitely be continuing with her training! Thank you!"
