Robin, thank you so much for the 5-star review! 🐾 We’re really happy to hear your shepherd is walking so well, holding his stay, and showing more impulse control — that’s a huge win. Kristi loved working with him, and it means a lot that you felt supported with the progress texts and knew he was in great care. You’re exactly right: challenging their brain and holding them accountable is where real change happens. Keep up the consistency at home, and if you ever want a refresher or have questions, we’re always here for you. 🙌🐶

Heather, thank you so much for the 5-star review and for trusting us with Nelson! 🐾💛 We’re really happy to hear you had a great experience and that you’re seeing such a big difference after the 3-week board & train. Nelson sounds like he had tons of energy and needed clear structure — and it’s awesome to hear he’s now much more well-behaved at home, especially with things like jumping and furniture manners. And you’re exactly right: dogs are always a work in progress, and the owner follow-through is what keeps the results strong long-term. The fact that you’re reminding him and staying consistent is why he’s continuing to improve. Thank you again for the kind words, Heather — please give Nelson a big cuddle from all of us, and reach out anytime if you want a refresher or support as he keeps growing! 🙌🐶

Terri, thank you so much for this incredible 5-star review, and for trusting us with Brooks. 🐾💛 We know how challenging it can feel to handle a big, strong Doberman who has a sweet heart but needs guidance with manners and social skills, so it means a lot that you took the leap with us. Brieana will be especially grateful to hear you felt her passion right from the start and that our in-home board & train environment felt like the safest, most loving place for Brooks. We’re also so happy you enjoyed the training videos and updates - we share those so you’re not just seeing progress, but you’re learning exactly how to maintain it at home. And honestly, the best part of your review is hearing that you and Brooks train every day and that you’ve come to love that time together. That consistency is what turns a strong foundation into real long-term change. Thank you again for the recommendation, Terri. Please give Brooks a big hug from all of us - and keep the videos coming anytime you want feedback or support! 🙌🐶

Sydney, thank you so much for the 5-star review! 🐾 We’re truly grateful you trusted us with Kama. Kristi loved working with him, and hearing that his attitude is a night-and-day difference means the world. We’re also really glad you feel equipped with the tools to keep building on that progress at home — that’s exactly the goal. Please give Kama some extra love from all of us, and reach out anytime if you ever want a refresher or guidance as he continues to grow!

Hi Jeny — thank you so much for taking the time to write this. Your words genuinely mean a lot to us. Kristi will be deeply touched reading this, because what you described is exactly why we do what we do: helping create a dog who isn’t just obedient, but gentle, steady, and emotionally safe to live with. The bond you and Marshmello have is beautiful, and it’s clear he’s not just a companion — he’s family. We’re so grateful you trusted us with him, and we’re proud of the calm manners, softness, and reliability he’s developed with you. It says a lot about Marshmello… and it says a lot about you, too, because that kind of connection is built over time with love, consistency, and care. Please give him a big hug from all of us (and extra love for being the best little “hooman” 😄). If you ever need anything — a tune-up, a question answered, or just support as life changes — we’re here for you. 🩵🐾

Hi Claudia — thank you so much for trusting us with Charlie. We loved working with him. Seeing a big, joyful dog learn to switch from “play mode” to “listening mode” is exactly the goal, and I’m really happy you’re feeling the difference at home—especially with leash manners, jumping, kennel habits, and impulse control around neighborhood animals. Kristi will be thrilled to hear the updates meant a lot and helped you feel confident continuing the work. Keep practicing the routines, and if anything pops up as Charlie keeps settling in, reach out anytime — we’re here for you. 🙏

Brian, thank you so much for the 5-star review and for trusting us with your German Shepherd puppy at such an important age. 🐾 We’re thrilled you felt supported from start to finish — the consistent video updates and clear at-home steps are a big part of how we set families up for real, lasting success. Brieana was especially grateful to hear how much the handoff helped you understand not just the commands, but the why behind them — building that respectful, trusting relationship is the real goal. And hearing that only two days after coming home he was calmly walking through the yard, ignoring distractions, and holding sit/stay without correction… that’s exactly the kind of foundation we aim for. Thank you also for highlighting the most important part: the program creates the foundation, and your consistency is what turns it into a lifestyle. We’re proud to be part of your journey and we’re here for you long-term as he grows. 🙌
