"When I bought my Yorkie, I knew I wanted to teach her some good manners and obedience skills. I thought I could do it myself, but it was too difficult. I just couldn't and didn't know how. Although funds were bit tight I decided to take her to training classes but didn't know where. I checked online and couldn't find anything close to where I live. I had heard Vanessa had dog training classes and even though she lived far from me I decided to give her a try. After taking Violet to several individual classes with Vanessa, Violet is doing things like sitting, waiting, lying down and dropping things from her mouth when I tell her to leave it. UNBELIEVABLE! I never would have thought Violet could do these things. Violet and I are now taking Vanessa's walking classes, and we're doing great. Vanessa does such a wonderful job. She shows you how to get your dog to do things even when you think "Violet will never learn that"! You can see Vanessa has a real love and care for animals, and she really enjoys what she is doing. I'm very happy and extremely pleased with all the things Vanessa has taught  me and Violet! I highly recommend Vanessa to anyone who wants their dog to behave and learn good manners!!!"

"I tried another class before Vanessa's and Kavi hated it. But Vanessa has this quiet way of reaching out to dogs that I haven't found elsewhere. Kavi immediately trusted her and under Vanessa has made amazing strides, ultimately passing the Canine Good Citizen exam. "
