“I’m a busy mom of 4 kids and I have a 5 month old Golden Doodle. It is very hard to manage such a busy household so the last thing I wanted was a disobedient dog. At times I wanted to give him up because it was getting to much to handle. I did some research and came across The Dog Stop. From the first meeting I had with Arlene I knew it was the right place. Now with only 3 training sessions I am very happy with the results. My dog is more calm and I have more control of him. Arlene, fantastic job! I am really Looking forward to continue with the training”.
