Testimonials
Along with her many years of experience, Corey has a great passion and gift for Therapy Dog work.
She has a way with dogs of all breeds and sizes and looks for the individual potential in each of them to do this kind of work.
We got our bernedoodle Lucy at ten weeks old at the end of 2020, and it didn’t take us long to realize that we had a truly special dog in our family.
Deciding we should share her special and gentle personality with the world, we went to Corey for classes that would prepare her to earn her certificate in Canine Good Citizenship, with an eventual goal of becoming a therapy dog. It was clear from our first meeting with Corey that she is a “dog person” - the joy she takes in dogs of all varieties is evident in her ability to form an instant connection with both dog and owner. Corey’s instruction to the dog student - as well as instructions to owner for command reinforcement at home - is clear, concise and and effective. She manages to remain positive in both her praise and her corrections when Lucy doesn’t follow instructions exactly - never are raised voices or harsh words used in teaching techniques.
Corey quickly formed a great relationship with Lucy, who I believe learned the commands quickly not only because of Corey’s effective instruction, but because doing so pleased her friend Corey! Corey became a friend outside of the classroom as well, and I was fortunate to share some lunch and a joint walk/“field” training sessions with Corey and her dog Wyatt. Our Lucy graduated training with Corey an even sweeter, calmer and more obedient and responsive dog and I am 100% comfortable with her behavior around children, elderly, the infirm - anyone! Corey is the best!
We brought out 4-month-old Golden Retriever for basic training with Corey.
As first time dog parents, I not only appreciated Corey’s training style, but also that she stopped to explain Mac’s behaviors so that we could understand how his brain was working and manage our expectations. Now at almost a year old, Mac has a solid foundation and even waves hello! Most importantly, Mac adored Corey and she really loves her clients. I’d recommend Corey to anyone looking for dog training!
I was extremely pleased with Corey.
She was very knowledgeable about dog training and dog behaviors. Most importantly she made the training fun and easy to understand. I would highly recommend Corey to anyone!
As first time dog owners, Corey could not have been more positive, patient, supportive and kind to us.
She not only allowed my daughter to be involved in the training but encouraged her involvement as well. We would highly recommend Corey as she was professional and fantastic with our puppy, Lexi.
