Testimonials

Hi Laura! This evening a woman asked me if I was a professional dog trainer because Loki was so well-behaved. (We were practicing stay/recall) When I said no she offered to pay me to train her dog anyway! Anyway, that’s the best endorsement I can give ADZ. Loki is so well trained people think I’m a pro and it’s all thanks to you guys!
