Testimonial

"She helped us navigate many new skills for our dog that I never thought possible. Working with her has increased our confidence greatly. I would absolutely recommend Leslie as a trainer, especially for vet care preparation, fearful dogs, and anyone who wants to take a kind and effective approach to caring for their pets."
