Our golden retriever was jumping on guests constantly. After just three sessions, the difference is night and day. He's calm, focused, and we finally have control on walks.

Our rescue dog was reactive on leash. We weren't sure if it could be fixed. Three weeks in and she's walking calmly past other dogs. Absolutely recommend Elevate K9 Academy.
