"Before I met Paddy and Amy, my Aussie/Border Collie mix was reactive and unpredictable. They taught me how to work with her in a positive manner and it's made a huge difference. Now I have the tools and education to guide Boo in the right direction to keep her and others safe and happy. I've learned so much!"
