Here's What Others Are Saying About Us

Fantastic team of trainers.
Very knowledgeable. They helped our two troubled rescues become good canine neighbors by going above and beyond for us.
 
This time, our pup is enrolled in the classes which we know will help prevent behaviors before they develop.
 
They don't drop you after you finish classes either - once in, you are part of the Kean family.
 
We could never thank you enough!
