TESTIMONIALS
I highly recommend Z Dog Training Academy! Heather is so in touch with the current training techniques. She has taught us (or should I say trained us) in knowing how to have a well-adjusted, well-socialized, good listening dog! Dottie, me, and my husband thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
