Hi Val,
I wanted to personally thank you for your wonderful obedience class and puppy socialization class. Buddy has more confidence and is a great around other dogs. That socialization class is so important! But the real training was of us humans!
The best part of your classes is the way you were with my daughters. They love you! Amanda as you know would not even put her feet on the ground when she came to the first class. She was petrified of dogs because she had met a big dog that had jumped up on her and it scared her. By the second class she was greeting every dog in class and sitting on thefloor with them! Both of my daughters met your English Mastiff and not onlywere laying on her like a pillow but got into a water tank with her!!! Those Pictures are so precious!! You listened to them as to why they were afraid and told them in a way they could understand how to deal with dogs, so they felt more confident.
I really wanted to write this letter because of our most recent experience. We went to Huntington Beach dog beach where both buddy and my girls enjoyed themselves immensely. To watch Amanda sit there and play in the sand with all sorts of Big dogs running around and by her and not having a care in the world was a direct result of your kind, patient training of both her and Buddy. It was amazing to see and brought such a smile to my face.
Thank you so much Val! We hope to keep in touch with you and just want to say that we think you are the best!
Warm regards,
Rozanne & Family
Valerie,
I thought you’d enjoy the email below.
It’s thanks to YOU, in great part, that Little Beau is so well socialized and well adjusted. The best thing I ever did for him, and us, was to send him to you for 2 weeks. You really did a wonderful job training him, and both Michael & I are so grateful to have a dog we are proud to take out in public with us.
When I picked up Zoe from Shura yesterday, I said, "how did Little Beau do?" she paused and said "He is..." and I though, uh oh...here we go..."so awesome!! We said we wished that Beau lived here. He was great."
Thought you’d like to see this comment from my sister about the daycare, Bark to Basics, that Little Beau attended in SF.
Speaking of great sons, your little over achiever got free day care at Shura’s!! I got her bill and there were only single charges for the days both pups were there!!
I got a “report card” from The Hound Lounge saying that “Little Beau was so much fun to have and that they were only sorry he didn’t live in SF”!!!
As I’ve said before, all the credit goes to you, Valerie, for socializing him so well.

"It was great doing business with Valerie. She provided me with the right tools, helped me understand my dogs' behavior and without her professional assistance I wouldn't have managed especially my second dog. Valerie is a dedicated professional with many years of experience. In addition I would like to thank her for her continues support! Anytime I have a question or need advice regarding my dogs, Valerie is just a phone call away! Thank you Valerie and thank you Best Paw Forward."
