We took her from her mom at six weeks and spoiled her, which was no way to start off our dog ownership. As time went on, she developed some bad habits, and became quite territorial. It got to the point where we dreaded having company over, and when my wife got pregnant we began to worry about what it would be like to have a dog and a baby. We hired two separate trainers, and nothing got better. We thought Penny was incorrigible. \n\nFinally, Lindsay came highly recommended. We made an appointment for her to meet Penny for a one-hour evaluation. From the moment that she showed up at our house, Penny knew who was boss. Lindsay agreed to take her on as a project. We sent her away \"to finishing school\" as we told people, and didn't see her for two months. When Lindsay brought her back, she was a changed dog, very well behaved, and responsive to commands. It was nice to have our house back. My wife and I agree that if we ever get another dog, we're sending her to Lindsay FIRST. \n\nJust last week, we took a vacation and boarded Penny with Lindsay. She was happy to go back. Lindsay is firm, but you can tell she cares about the dogs she trains. She's a consummate professional, and we do not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who might need a good dog trainer."^^ . "2"^^ . . .
