Report
We had met Ashley through the training program we used for our dog, before she started Tamed. We have always admired and respected the work that her and Alces do together. We boarded our dog with Ashley while we were out on a vacation and felt so relaxed knowing Gidget was in great hands.
Gidget was able to be around other dogs and go out and about with Ashley, while also tightening up her training.
We loved that Ashley sent us pictures every so often of what they were up to. It made us really happy that Gidget was enjoying her time as much as we were. We already have plans to work with Ashley again in the future and would highly recommend. She is a very knowledgable trainer, and works to make sure that you feel confident about what she has taught you.
