After spending two weeks with Jacey, Boomer is able to walk in a heel, has perfect recall, dog neutral, down on command even in disruptive environments like public transit etc. Even after training, Jacey was quick to answer any and all questions I had for her regarding keeping up with his e-collar training. We moved from Columbus, Ohio to NYC and Boomer adapted seamlessly from the quiet suburban lifestyle to bustling life in Manhattan. He rides with me in the subway, buses etc. I could not say enough good things about Jacey and would truly recommend her to all.”
