"THE Word"  from my clients!

When I got my first puppy, Rob was incredibly helpful in getting us started with training. His calm presence made Dolly immediately comfortable with him, and he did an excellent job of explaining and demonstrating the proper training techniques.

10/10! Rob is super flexible, approachable, resourceful, and educates in a manner we can connect with. I would recommend him to other dog owners for sure!
