A word from Franzi
"I am incredibly proud of the community we have built and the fact that my students aren't just committed to training but also to learning how to meet their dogs on their level of communication. Over the years there have been plenty of times when helping one another was crucial in making progress, it takes a village to raise dogs and I strongly believe that we need more educated owners who advocate for their animals to achieve lasting change in this industry and I am so grateful for the continued support of all my amazing people and their dogs that make this job so worthwhile."
