Announcement !!!

HI. It’s Lynne and I have an important announcement to make.

I am going into semi-retirement.

After more than 25 years of puppy classes and dog training I have made a difficult decision to take some much needed time out for me and my family and my fury friends.

So, with that said I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have patronized and supported me over the past 25 years. I feel eternally blessed to have had the opportunity to work with all of you and your fury companions over the years. I have so many great memories that I will cherish forever.

I would also like to make honorable mention of a couple of people and places that have supported me over the years – those people and places are:

Fox Valley Humane Association

Karen Gibson from Dog Country LLC

I have held many puppy and dog training classes at these facilities over the years and am so very grateful for the help of these people.

Over the years too I have partnered with and worked with at times four very special people who I am going to list here as referrals for people seeking dog / puppy training. I HIGHLY recommend all four of these very special and capable people for your puppy and dog training needs:

Kristin Zaspal

Post graduate work in Psychology and Pharmacology plus continuing education have kept me on top of the latest techniques and tools to help me help you and your pet.

I offer in home consultations for those seeking individual attention and group classes for puppies and adult dogs needing social skills.

I am looking forward to meeting you!
