What clients say

 Gracie experiences many challenges with her world. It’s been a really rough go and my heart has been broken so many times for her. Scent training has been wonderful for her! It’s such a joy to see her doing so well at it. I can't say enough good things about it and about Sandy! Sandy made sure we were set up for success. Aside from being caring, her teaching style is wonderful and easy to follow.

​- Kathleen M. 
​​
My dog is so excited to do scent work! He absolutely loves it! It's satisfying to see Uno learn new skills in ways he clearly loves. In spite of being a young, active dog, he's tired after scent class. Sandy is knowledgeable, thorough and enthusiastic. She is good at reading the dogs in order to tailor scent exercises to each individual dog to help them learn and build confidence. 

​- Natasha B. 
Sandy worked in depth with two of my dogs over a period of several weeks and the results were above and beyond my expectations. Both dogs came to her with some significant challenges and left having made phenomenal progress, and gained a solid skill set that makes them happier, more well-rounded dogs that are easier to live with.
