“This is now the happiest dog in the entire world. Since he came home from his Board and Train, he is a whole new dog. He is so relaxed, he makes the best choices. On walks, he’s really staying connected and with us. In the house, it’s a completely different dog. He is relaxed, he can entertain himself, he can ask for attention correctly. He’s happy and he’s now able to have more freedom in the house.”

- Maureen W.

“Charlotte at Sit N Stay training is absolutely INCREDIBLE! My dog Oli is reactive and Charlotte worked with me to significantly improve his reactivity. And, most importantly, she is truly the ONLY person I trust to care for Oli, meet all his needs, and keep him out of any situations that would trigger his reactivity while I'm out of town. I'm so grateful and highly recommend her!”

-Mckenzie M.
