She's awesome and my dogs love her. When I went back to work full time, after only working part-time for the last couple years after being out on medical I was unsure who to entrust with my beloved rescues, I have to bully breeds/ potties and she is very knowledgeable and those breeds as well as any free that I can see very experienced she was exactly what we needed she love my animals as if they were her own unfortunately since I'm only working part-time now I resumed the Roll But when I go back full time working I will definitely be calling her back she has a Stern hand and voice which is exactly what my dog's needed but unconditional love and she knew exactly wet my younger male pity needed and how to address his behaviors and didn't hesitate to work with me and my children and advise us some things that we need to do as well as show us and worked with Jack's training him and behavior modification and stuff as well as exercising him she's the best!!

Zoe is kind, calm, knowledgeable, and wonderful to work with! She has a true love of animals and it shows in the way she trains. She helped me be more patient and compassionate with my young rambunctious dog. I'd been reading some training books, but there's nothing like having someone work with you and your dog one-on-one. Zoe taught me indispensable and easy to follow tools to help me live my best dog mom life. More...

We have a Maltipoo who we hate to leave/- that is, until our next door neighbors told us about Zoe. Zoe is very professional, yet very loving toward our little guy, Phineas. She stayed with him for several days and sent us daily updates with pictures. You will be very happy with Zoe!!Charles Gershon More...

What do you love most about your job?
I devote my life to dogs and their humans. We are blessed to have furry creatures live with us, providing companionship and love, and it’s my pleasure to help these darlings by offering their humans insight into how they think, feel and behave. I believe they are angels on earth and nothing makes me smile more than a happy dog face!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I’ve been working with dogs for the last 20 years, as a vet assistant, shelter volunteer, foster mom, therapy dog handler, dog care provider and trainer. This is what I do :)
Why should our clients choose you?
My clients voice their appreciation in my ability to stay optimistic, encouraging, strategic and warm. My love of training is infectious and with 20 years of experience, you can feel confident in my feel-good approach to training, my humane methods and personability to guide you towards a happier relationship with your dog.
