A note from Denise

Denise — Head trainer, Nisi & Lisi

The Private Tutor program is for owners who want the very best for their dog. Your dog comes everywhere with me — to town, on hikes, to friends' houses. By the end they're not just trained, they're genuinely changed.

★★★★★

The Private Tutor program was worth every dollar. Denise treated our dog like her own — the progress updates, the spa day, the door-to-door pickup. You can feel how much she cares.
