What recent reviews say

Brenna and her team earn consistent praise for personal attention and reliability, with dogs visibly excited for each visit. One scheduled appointment resulted in a complete no-show with no follow-up communication, which raises fair concerns about operational consistency.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Reviewers consistently report profound behavioral shifts in dogs after Elaine's two-week board and train program, from high-energy puppies gaining self-control to anxious rescues becoming confident and obedient. The program's strength lies in educating owners on reinforcement techniques and delivering off-leash reliability that reviewers use for hiking and daily confidence, often describing the trainer as treating their dogs like family members.
