Testimonials
“Zona did what we thought might not be possible, she orchestrated a complete transformation! We dropped off a very troubled and out of control 15 lb nightmare of a pup, she returned to us a dog who was relaxed and eager to please. Zona's team taught us how to painlessly maintain and reinforce the new habits in a way that is natural and sustainable. Our Rosie is now much happier and a joy to be with. We are forever grateful!”

“Zona and her team trained a beautiful malinois (she rescued from the Humane Society) for rehoming. We were overjoyed to receive him and knew we had the right experience with German Shepard’s in our history. Unfortunately within days, we realized we have come to a point in our lives (70s) where we thought we could handle such a dog, but overestimated our own energy level! Zona was more than happy to take the dog back and find a younger couple to love him. She made us comfortable in our decision and treated us respectfully and without judgement. Her mission is to find the right fit for person and dog and she had no problem with us changing our minds. The training was superb, any 70 pound dog needs that structure! I would recommend her wholeheartedly to any dog lover.”

“I've had many dogs in my life, including my heart dog, Rosie. But have to tell you, Teddy is incredible. We've had family here for 10 days---an autistic 3 1/2 yr old great grandson & 8 yr old granddaughter. Teddy is fabulous with both---recognizes the frailties, is gentle, etc. We're so grateful to have him in our life. This dog was sent to us as a special gift---- via you!!!!

“My family recently welcomed a new retriever puppy into our home, and let's just say, we quickly realized we needed expert help! That's where Zona and her team of trainers came in.
A Truly Paw-sitive Experience!
From the moment we met Zona, we knew we were in good hands. She was so welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited to work with us and our little furry tornado. She didn't just train our puppy; she trained us too, giving us the tools and confidence we needed to continue our puppy's development at home.
Tailored Training and Amazing Results
Zona and her team took the time to understand our specific challenges and goals, then crafted a training plan that was perfectly tailored to our puppy's personality and our family's lifestyle. They were incredibly patient and positive, making every session fun and engaging. We saw remarkable progress in just a few weeks! Our puppy went from a land shark with selective hearing to a much calmer, more responsive, and better-behaved member of the family. We're still amazed at how quickly our puppy picked things up under their guidance.
Beyond Expectations
What truly sets Zona and her team apart is their passion and dedication. They went above and beyond, offering helpful tips and answering all our questions, even outside of our scheduled sessions. Their enthusiasm is contagious, and it truly made the training process a joy for everyone involved. We couldn't be happier with the results and wholeheartedly recommend Zona to any family looking for exceptional dog trainers. She is simply the best!”
