Natasha
We brought our 11-month-old Shepsky, Natasha, to Andrea to improve her obedience and communication. Natasha underwent a 3-week board and train, with daily progress updates. Andrea then came to our house to teach us effective communication. We are amazed at the results, and now Natasha can be off-leash outside the yard. The ongoing support and checkups are invaluable. We appreciate Andrea's dedication and program so much that we're sending another dog to her for 2 weeks soon. Thank you for loving our girl like your own!

Finn & Hoss
I can't praise Presentable K-9 enough! My large, energetic labs underwent a 3-week board and train, and the results were fantastic. Daily updates showed my happy pups. Andrea and Ashley provided top-notch training, and their love for my dogs was evident. They transformed my crazy boys into well-behaved pups, and I've already recommended them to others. I'll only trust Andrea and Ashley with my labs in the future. Thank you, Presentable K-9!

Bella
After just two sessions, I'm amazed at the level of control I now have over Bella. The training wasn't just about Bella; it was a learning experience for me as a first-time dog owner. The journey can be quite stressful, but Andrea's guidance not only improved Bella's behavior but also put my mind at ease. It's reassuring to know that I have a trusted expert to turn to for support and training. Thanks to Andrea, I feel much more confident and prepared for this wonderful journey with Bella.
