"Erin was able to completely transform my dog's behavior. Minnie is a black lab that had so much energy I couldn't even walk her down the street. She also had a bad habit of jumping on us. Now, after Erin worked with her she is a joy to live with and to take for a walk. Her manners have improved so much that everyone asks me who trained her."

"We're very happy with what Erin was able to do! Ghost had typical husky behaviors like pulling while walking him and escaping out of our fenced in yard multiple times. Erin taught Ghost, and more importantly us, how to deal with these issues. Ghost is so much easier to handle now, listens better, has more self control and is generally a more civilized dog."
