"Charlotte is a wonderful trainer, and can help you with any issue you might be encountering with your dog or dogs. Her classes are small so it's almost like having a private trainer!"
"She really works with you as the owner so you can find the best fit for your training needs. I would give her more than 5 stars, if I could. Highly recommend!"
"Her knowledge is vast. Her no-nonsense approach is fantastic. And, the level of training you and your pups will receive from K9ology is worth it’s weight in gold!"
