Jack is doing amazing! He honestly appears to be a different dog. The groomer asked what is different about Jack as she stated he appeared calmer and well behaved.

Thank you so much for the kind review, Kristen. We’re thrilled Danielle and the team could help your 100 lb American Bully/Rottie mix with recall, nail cutting, socialization, play, visitors, machines, motorcycles, and calmness around kids. It’s wonderful to hear she is confidently off leash with an e collar, enjoying life with clear boundaries and joy. We appreciate your trust and are here if you need continued support or refresher sessions.
