It Works!!! After the very first session, we experienced noticeable results with our 4 month old mini goldendoodle, Maverick, and I took relief and comfort in knowing we would learn how to manage the frenzy of puppyhood! I truly can't thank our veterinarian enough for writing down Eileen's contact information during Maverick's first appointment and recommending Second Chance Dog Training, telling me what a great fit he thought she'd be for us! Eileen genuinely loves dogs and her job--she is a natural and her expertise, passion and dedication shine through as brightly as her friendly personality; Maverick and our family quickly bonded with her. I was impressed with her backstory, experience, professionalism and organization--useful tips and follow up homework notes were provided in a concise way for my family to do and later discuss. I truly appreciated this, since the practice time expectation was super manageable, and because searching the web and sorting through friends' advice was overwhelming and had left me more confused and unsure before I started with Second Chance Dog Training. Eileen customizes the training to progress at the family's and puppy's needs pace, instead of a one-size-fits-all set of commands or tricks. And she is extremely generous with her time, knowledge and availability! I continue to reach out to Eileen with questions about behaviors like nipping, food, house training, socialization with other puppies, toys and other supplies suggestions, etc. It's like having access to a pro's cheat sheet and tips for the most reasonably priced training around. If only I could go back in time and train our first dog with Eileen--it's a game changer for quality of life, peace of mind and household, and a happy family and puppy. I will forever recommend Eileen, and return myself for tune-ups! Thank you, thank you, thank you Eileen and Second Chance Dog Training!
