Testimonials...

From Sally Waldie of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware...

Many thanks to Mr. Brown for the helpful suggestions he gave me the last 2 Rally Show & Go's. I had difficulty getting my little dachshund to do the "back up" & stand exercises.  With Mr. Brown's help, Mo was doing each within a very few tries! Just having my dog now  able to do those skills was well worth my trip to the center from Rehoboth, in addition to being able to practice with him on the rally advanced course.  Thank you so much for your kindness to take the extra time with me & my dog to solve those 2 problem areas in our training !!!

From Ann Marie & Luna of Newark, Delaware...

Hi Carrie, I wanted to thank you so much for all that you, the other instructors, and demo dogs have done to help Luna and I become a therapy dog team with PAWS for People. Luna also got her Canine Good Citizen designation. Without your help, we wouldn’t have had the foundation skills needed to become a therapy dog team, especially with her being an energetic 14 month old. We appreciate all of your games and skills to help maintain focus and calm. We are so grateful for all that you do for your students, both the two legged ones and the four legged ones. Wishing you all the best.
