Happy Salem Dog Coach Clients
“Best investment we have made! Dog Coach transformed our German Shepard pup, Felix, into the best dog on and off-leash. Before going to Dog Coach, Felix constantly pulled on leash, was magnetized to other dogs, and wasn’t trusted off-leash when playing fetch. After our training, we can confidently say he walks by our hip, doesn’t care when other dogs are near, and ALWAYS comes back when playing fetch! We will be coming back when we get another pup without question.”
