Courtney is truly amazing! Between her group classes and our 1x1 sessions, she’s helped my dog Charley so much with her reactivity, e-collar training and improving her overall behavior. Courtney’s calm, confident approach made a huge difference, and she always takes the time to explain everything clearly. I’ve seen such a positive change in Charley’s behavior and in my own confidence as a dog owner. If you’re looking for someone knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about dogs, Courtney is the one!

Best trainer ever! So patient, knowledgeable, and actually creates behavioral changes. It is night and day for us here 🌹 - Orlee & Rose, Los Angeles

Momo and I are so grateful for Courtney! I was very unaware of how I was contributing to the behavioral problems Momo was displaying bc I felt as though I was acting In the best interest for him but after training with Courtney he has made awesome progress and I am so thankful for Courtney’s support and advice. We can’t wait to see her again!!

When we first came to Courtney we had an extremely fearful puppy who really struggled with being outside of the house, around strangers, and especially around other dogs. Courtney has been able to teach me how to be in tune with my pup, recognize her triggers, and manage them, allowing us to build a stronger relationship where she is more confident and trusting. Courtney is amazing at explaining dog psychology and behavior! I always learn so much from her and look forward to our sessions. Highly recommend
