I brought my 1 year old German Shepherd to her with a laundry list of behavioral issues, mainly arising out of no opportunities for socialization and never being left alone due to Covid keeping us at home all the time. He's been home for 2 weeks now and his behavior/obedience is simply night and day. I opted for the 3 week overnight training because I knew he would need at least that much hands on training to permanently correct some of his bad habits. Once I decided to do it, I started dreading the day I dropped him off and worried, worried, worried he was going to be depressed and traumatized and think I had abandoned him. There was none of that, zero. Maureen absolutely loves dogs, not surprisingly, and has at least 4 of her own fur kids, so she's completely empathetic and intuitive when it comes to these concerns and she goes above and beyond to accommodate both you and your pup and communicate with you all along the way. The pictures I posted of Bear are all ones she took and sent me while he was staying with her along with updates on what they were doing and his progress. She is also incredibly detail oriented in everything she does, the facility is absolutely pristine, and she lives on site and watches the pups live on cam all the time! The area where the dog's crates are kept and they sleep has been set up like a home to enable her to train for at home issues like grabbing things off the counter or jumping on furniture. A newly remolded barn serves as another training area, along with several outdoor enclosed play areas/runs, the whole property is just really beautiful. There's not much else to say except if you're on the fence, do it! You and your doggo will be so much happier and you'll get so much more out of your relationship! Do not hesitate to contact her with any questions, she is a true pro, absolutely loves what she does and it shows.

Although…read morethey're only eight days apart in age, our younger pup has a strong will and a big personality! After researching several training options, we found Christy--and we're so glad we did. Her approach, which avoids shock collars and focuses on positive, effective training methods, was exactly what we were looking for. We started with the puppy class and then moved into the adolescent class, and we're incredibly pleased with the results. At just 8 1/2 months old, our boys are doing great. We continue working with them and really appreciate having a jump drive of materials to revisit when we need a refresher or help with a behavior challenge. Christy has been an outstanding support throughout the process. Her classes are comprehensive, thoughtful, and truly top-notch. A heartfelt thank you from Enzo, Jax, Mike, and me--for your passion, your guidance, and for helping give our boys the best start possible!

Before we picked him up they reviewed the training with us so we can easily use it at home, provided a memory stick of the training so we can refresh ourselves with the training.

It was exhausting for me at times. My husband thought it was too late to train an almost 7 year old dog but I thought contacting Mona and getting a free demo would not hurt. Boy,was I right! After the demo I knew what I had to do and signed up for dog training lessons. What a difference! Mona has so much knowledge about the dogs, their body language and how to correct the owner during the training process when needed, sending clear signals to the dog so it will not get confused in what is expected of it. This strengthens the bond of the owner with the dog and both are happy with each other. In my case it is really true "You can teach a dog new tricks and obedience.

I rescued a lovely 6 year old male Portuguese Water Dog who had somehow gotten away from his previous owners and was found wandering around the North Georgia Mountains. I was keen to make sure that the same thing didn't happen again since my new buddy clearly had strong instincts to chase things. He also had no idea that a human was on the other end of his leash and would drag me into his chase with the squirrels too. After just 2 weeks with Mona, my dog was happier, more confident, and wonderfully obedient. And I'm happier as a result too. I am no longer being pulled to and fro and he can walk by a squirrel without going completely nuts. The progress she made with him in such a short time was nothing short of miraculous! I am forever grateful to Mona for her patience, insight, skill, knowledge, kindness and most of all for the love she shared with my new best friend. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mona!
