Reviews from the Community:
Lori and Leia
My adopted rescue puppy and I highly recommend Savvy Dog Training for private lessons. Savannah believes in strengthening the animal-human bond through training and education. She uses scientific and positive reinforcement based methods and follows up after every lesson with notes for us to keep for future reference.

From the initial phone call to the training, Savannah made my wife (who had never had a puppy before) and our Airedale behave better! Lol. She is patient, thorough and knowledgeable with easy to learn and practice lessons for all of us. Highly recommend!
Thomas and Gizmo
We were SO very pleased with Savvy Dog Training. Savannah came to our house for private lessons for our rescue dog, Gizmo. It is true that she taught us how to work with him as much as she taught Gizmo. I HIGHLY recommend her, she is professional, reliable and a wonderful investment in the care of the canine member of the family.
