Customer Reviews
Mary & Olive, Mt. Airy: Our training sessions made such a difference, I can't thank you enough. Everything made so much sense and helped me realize what areas Olive excels in, what excites her, and what I still need to work with her on. Olive rarely tries to sit in my lap while I'm playing video games, but tonight she was like, today was fun mom, let's cuddle!
