What Our Clients Say
“Neblina came back with more skills, and her demand barking was practically gone, which is not an easy feat. As a veterinarian, it brings me so much peace of mind to know I have a place to leave Neblina when I am traveling. She is extremely knowledgeable about behavior and special behavior needs (positive reinforcement, force free, qualified trainer).”
Dr. Munoz (Specializing in Behavior), mom of Neblina, a Corgi “Couldn’t be happier with D for Dogz and Kaajal. She’s helped our enthusiastic Aussie Bernedoodle learn to control his impulses. He’s still very affectionate, but no longer jumps on people and she’s taught us different tricks and tips to manage all sorts of interactions. She does all of this with tremendous knowledge, expertise, care and love. Fantastic all the way.”
Manisha Aggarwal, Mom of Orion, an Aussie Bernedoodle
