We are extremely grateful that we found trainer Jen Shelton, and Partners. It is evident that she genuinely cares about dogs (AND their people) and strives to give them all a better life. We were having a horrible time introducing a new puppy into our home, but Jen's patient guidance provided us with the structure we needed for a smoother transition. Our Fletcher not only tolerates puppy Forrest after his time there, but even seems to enjoy the company and invites play! Thank you Jen! And thank you to the entire staff. Every person we've encountered there has been kind and helpful!
It was a very difficult (and much debated) decision to put our 7 year old dog in the 3 week long 'behavior camp', but after meeting Jen and a number of other staff members, we felt much more comfortable doing so. They do allow pet parents to observe evaluations and a few training sessions via a two way mirror, and this eased our own separation anxiety a bit! Also, the way Jen and all the ladies there would swoon over our adorable (obnoxious) little Fletcher warmed our hearts. He may be middle aged, but he has still 'got it'! ;-)
