Client Comments

  •  Jess from Amherst: “When we got our Boxer puppy one year ago we were overwhelmed by her energy and aggression.  We soon met Caryl-Rose and have worked with her almost weekly since then.  Caryl-Rose not only understands dogs but truly loves them.  She made training our dog fun and achievable.  We are grateful for Caryl-Rose’s steady presence in this adventure of helping our dog become an enjoyable family member.”

Big and Small, this junior handler trains them all!

  • Dina from Chicopee:  “I love working with Caryl-Rose; she really understands my dog’s behavior. Her enthusiasm is amazing and we have learned SO much from her.”
  • Bella learns to 'shake paw' so she'll know a polite way to greet humans!

    “This training has enhanced our total family experience.”

  • Fran, now from Cambridge:  “Caryl-Rose has both professional skill and common sense — a winning combination for the humans and dogs lucky enough to work with her. She knows how to build confidence in her clients as well.”
  • Kathy, formerly of Belchertown:  We had put off owning a dog for years, until we felt we had some free time to really share with one.  We found ourselves in love with our little rescue dog from our first meeting but that didn’t mean we had the knowledge, skills, or understanding to live with him peacefully.  For that, we needed help from our trainer Caryl-Rose, and her help was utterly essential to get us through the noisy barking of fear-aggression at any visitor, separation anxiety created by our work schedules, daunting potty accidents on oriental rugs.  We feel so triumphant and lucky to have gotten through such hard times and to now have the sweetest, most loving, and most adequately charmingly-behaved pup that we dreamed of.  We couldn’t have got here without all the patient and expert help from Caryl-Rose.
