She taught us the art of communicating with our dog…

After adopting Piper, our boxer/lab mix, at the age of 8 months, we enrolled her in Nan’s puppy class. She helped us by not only teaching Piper how to listen and follow commands, but she taught us the art of communicating with and for our dog. Piper is a very obedient girl, now. It took her a while to let go of her puppyhood(that’s the lab in her). She learned all her commands and how to walk on a leash. Nan’s class was instrumental in creating a happy and well behaved dog. As she got older, we decided she needed a sister. Before we adopted Nola, our 8 week old lab mix puppy, we enlisted Nan to observe Piper, at 3 years old, playing with other dogs to prepare us/her for a baby friend. Piper is a rough play kind of gal. Nan gave us tips to use to recall Piper when she gets a little rambunctious. Using those tools that Nan provided, have helped guide both Piper and Nola and have been invaluable to us. Anyone looking for training for their puppy or adult dog, Nan’s your answer. You will learn from her how to use common sense techniques that you have had all along. She’s the conduit between you and your dog! She will make you and your dog happy!
