Testimonials

When I adopted my 1.5 year old min pin mix from the shelter they explained he was a little afraid. This was an understatement. He was very afraid of everyone and everything which led to fear biting and submissive peeing. New situations were always a struggle. After a few months I called Sharon and she came to my rescue. She taught Bugs how to be a confident dog with self esteem building games as well as basic obedience. She uses a very gentle and effective approach. He now enjoys training and is much less afraid in new situations. Through training he has learned to trust me a lot more. I couldn't have done it without the help of Sharon Witherspoon! Megan
