Courteous Canine
Triton has taken both private lessons and classes with Courteous Canine, and they have all helped him tremendously. The outings class and private lessons were especially beneficial in giving me the tools I needed to help him with overcoming his reactivity to other dogs. He now even gets compliments about how good he is when he sits quietly to let other dogs walk by! I would recommend Karen and Courteous Canine 100%. I would recommend Karen and Courteous Canine 100%. Astro It is an honor to write a testimonial on behalf of Karen McCarthy and Courteous Canine. I have been attending classes and private training sessions at Courteous Canine for over 15 years, with two different dogs. Both my dogs benefitted immeasurably from the professional and caring environment created by Karen McCarthy.
