"If we hadn’t found Zigrid when we did we probably would have rehomed our crazy Labrador. Zigrid taught us K9 communication and how to be K9 parents. Zigrid’s sole focus was the welfare of our dogs and our sanity. Thank you Zigrid!"
Rory and K9 buddy Winter
"We can’t recommend Zigrid and her team highly enough. Their dedication to helping us to understand our puppy and help him succeed has been a gift that will last a lifetime. Teaching us to read the dogs body language, offering social interaction sessions in a safe zone for the dogs, personal care and attention to difficulties we had, and offering practical and effective solutions that met with out belief in positive training. During the program we have made huge progress on sole attachment, being home alone, and interacting with other dogs. We recommend Zigrid to everyone and will be back with any future furry additions to our family."
