COMMENTS FROM STUDENTS

 "Carol offers an excellent program in both beginner and advanced obedience. She also deals with a wide variety of problems and offers an individual approach specifically tailored to meet each dog's special needs. The Northeast Animal Shelter highly recommends her!"

Julie Potter, Director

"Carol is an excellent trainer whom I have recommended to a great many of my clients. She was very helpful to me in training my own dog, Barley."

Howard R. Hutchins, D.V.M.
Central Animal Hospital,
Reading, MA

"During the past eight years I have taken all three of my dogs through beginner and intermediate classes with Carol. Her varied teaching methods enabled each of them to successfully learn commands on and off lead. Many clients whom I have referred to Carol say that their dogs have become much more obedient and pleasant pets as a result of her teaching."

Marilyn Hayes, D.V.M.
Rowley Animal Hospital,
Rowley, MA

"If not for Carol's patience, sense of humor, and varied training skills, my terrier would be a little ‘terrior-ist' instead of the obedient, well-mannered companion that he is. CDX here we come!"

Sharon L. Netzley,
CCDTS student
