The price was high for what she did because she did not do what I wanted her to do. What she was teaching them, we already taught them that. She cancelled the first appointment and re-scheduled it. She only answers your call once a week which is a Saturday which is really inconvenient. I will use the company again but not her specifically.
Within the first half of the first private lesson Karen helped me understand what different behaviors mean to the dogs and why we needed to do certain things to establish ourselves as the leader of the pack. By the time the first session ended our dogs were behaving so nicely, and following basic instructions! Karen has bought peace where there once was chaos!
How do our dogs feel about Petagreed? They would do ANYTHING for "auntie" Karen. They LOVE Karen.
After setting ground rules and getting a basic start to dog training with private lessons we also took basic dog obediance with both dogs. Karen loves the dogs and she loves helping families with their beloved dog.
