Thoughtful, communicative and caring
“Our dog Casey has loved working with Annette - and so have we! In a short time she’s really helped Casey with his reactivity to other large dogs. Annette was very clear in her communication (both to us and Casey), laying out the lesson plans, updating us on his progress and any obstacles, and keeping us in the loop so we could work with Casey on our own time as well. On top of that she is thoughtful, caring, kind - and you can tell that Casey really enjoys his time working with her…”
