- San
I'm so glad San came into our lives. My dog Harpo suddenly became reactive and even aggressive on leash around larger dogs. I was frustrated, embarrassed, and did not know what to do. San was able to help us learn how to better understand signs of stress or fear and come up with solutions to support Harpo. Working with San's dogs, Molly and Shadow, helped Harpo build positive experiences with dogs bigger than he is and gave him more confidence. Harpo is no longer reactive on or off leash and even enjoys visits to the small dog park. We regularly send Harpo to board with San or for daycare as a treat - it's great to know Harpo is being taken care of with as much love as we would give him and spending time with Molly, Shadow, and other dogs helps Harpo continue to build positive experiences with his canine friends and continue to learn new skills.
Thanks so much, San!

What clients have to say:
My dogs Rosie & Little Dude loved working with San - especially Rosie, who is a working breed, and thoroughly enjoyed the stimulation and opportunity to learn new skills. Little Dude was a bit slower, but he got there eventually! San was able to tailor the program to their different personalities and individual training needs. It is clear to see that he truly loves dogs, loves his work, and is eager to share his knowledge resulting in happier dogs and owners.
