Angela Gardner is superb! She knows how to train your dog to be your personal helper….and best friend. There is nobody better in Marin. (Trust me, I have searched.) I need a service dog but I only had a pet. Now I can take Digby almost anywhere ! Any dog issues you once had will resolve -if you follow through with training and practice what Angela makes simple. Cannot recommend highly enough.

We have been working with Angela for a little over a month now and our 3.5 year old labradoodle, Mumford, has made incredible progress! He has so much anxiety and Angela has been so patient, kind, and informative - Mumford is truly turning into a completely different dog. We appreciate Angela's true positive reinforcement methods that focus on making Mumford feel calm and focus on just letting him be a dog, half the time it doesn't even feel like training - it's great! Thank you Angela for all the long phone calls and always being available! We are so appreciative!!

Angela is by far the best dog training in the Bay Area! She was able to teach my pup how to stay near me when off leash, to come when called and also how to listen and act according to my commands - all in a very short period of time! My dog absolutely loves her and always looks forward to his lessons 🐶
