"...the more we learn the more we see that other animals are smarter and more creative than we give them credit for, or perhaps ever imagined. Best to keep an open mind about the cognitive skills of the animals with whom we share our homes and the rest of the planet for "surprises" are continually forthcoming. " Marc Bekoff

Alice, Rita and their talented team of trainers! From getting your puppy off to a good start, taking fun classes,  to dealing with extreme dog/people reactivity.   I can't begin to describe the value you get when you attend their classes.  They  enrich your relationship with your pooch and teach you about the latest science on canine cognition.  Their eagle eyes and years of experience also ensure they tweak your handling and communication skills to ensure you achieve results.  Clear communication through positive associations achieved without any grumpy stuff.  They're my heroes.
