Elaine & Betty White

We haven’t had a puppy in over 35 years, and both Jenna and Shannon set the initial stage.for us in their hour and a half consultation session We learned the importance of having an environment that was safe , positive and loving.

Once Betty was home with us, Shannon came to our house to demonstrate various training techniques. More than anything , what followed was a philosophical approach to raising a puppy. In just 4 weeks , Shannon instilled in us a foundation that we now can use for many new situations.

Signing up for the puppy training package was money well spent. I recommend Think Smart Dog Training to anyone getting a puppy.
