alice lemmons: Nice owners. Couldn't ask for better communication!
Beau Zoe: First they tell you the oriceover the phone. Then when you go to pay it is always different. They also did not listen for the type of cut you want and always comes out wrong. Staff is somewhat rude as well. Much better places to send your dog for a good groom.Don't waste your money

Elizabeth Reynolds: I can't say enough kind things about Classy Canines. I'm pretty sure it was Amanda who was up front and noticing the body language of my reactive dog.

Dog Training Elite Kansas City South: what do users think?
Douglas Scott: Our Buster Brown has improved so much,Never likes the dogs on the TV but now we can tell him off and he just grumble talks to them. We are still working on boats that pass by on the lake but consistency will win the game.cheers to the Elite team!
Charles Huddleston: Great group to work with and training approach if very effective and gets results.
Darla Hawkins: Working Willow with Kaylee was the best! She is very good at what she does and you can tell she genuinely loves it, she never hurts your furbaby. Kaylee explains how to teach them each step in easy to understand language. She makes sure you understand before you start training at each step. This was not the cheapest place, but I feel it was the best choice. Both before and after she was trained. My dog was so skiddish, she has learned to be calm and not bark so much as she has more confidence. I would give my highest recommendations to Dog Training Elite! If I ever get another dog I'd do it again. Worth every penny. They go above and beyond to your dog be everything you dream of!
Molly Schwery: Our trainers were very helpful in teaching us and helping train our 2 yr old dog.
Steven Adams: Excellent dog training. Best and easiest way to train a dog that I have ever come across. And the trainers are well educated on training techniques that work for everything i wanted my pup to know. I will be using this method to train all my dogs from here on out.
Whitney Bennett: This dog training company was very pleasant and down to earth. Genuine and honest and patient. Also very professional. We were apprehensive and they were so easy to work with and let our guard down. Highly recommend.
McKenna Elfrink: If you are still looking for a dog trainer, your search should end here. Chuck and his team at Dog Training Elite KC truly have a vested interest in supporting your dog and you as the owner; they take the time to get to know you and your sweet fur baby. Private lessons were a great way to ease my anxiety as a dog owner, the individualized support has been so helpful. I appreciate group classes for continued learning, activity and socialization for our dog. The saying is true, "people don't care how much you know until you they know how much you care," and Dog Training Elite KC cares.
Diane Gardner: Wonderful people who know dogs. Took our 5 month old Standard Poodle from a great puppy to my licensed diabetic service dog in 6 months. Just do the homework. They continue to provide weekly learning activities. Great group. Highly recommend.
Jim Tharp: Chuck and his team are unparalleled in the dog training world. If you’re looking for an excellent trainer, look no further. I wish I called them 3 years ago.
The Ell Spot: I am so in love with this company! I have two older German Shepards and I thought you couldn't teach an old dog new tricks. Well I was wrong. Chuck was amazing with our dogs and it has changed our lives. Gave me freedom of not fearing taking my pups out. One of them has been aggressive and this training was worth every penny!!! Now...practice at home is vital but honestly I loved to do it. Only really 15 minutes a day per dog for me. Amazing!!!!!!! Now at home I have peace when someone new comes over and we get to go to the dog park! Also heeling and learning that correctly changed my life as one of my pups is a big...big boy!.
debbie hendrix: The entire "Dog Training Elite Kansas City South" bunch is fantastic! Very professional and absolutely top-notch/excellent with dogs. We were pretty skeptical about what they would be able to do with our reactive boy that we dearly love, but it didn't take long to make believers out of us. Given what we have seen so far, I can't imagine that there is a dog they cannot work with. They really are an "elite" group of dog trainers and lovers!
Bret Farrar: Chuck and his team do amazing work with not only standard dog training but with service dogs as well. They are professional, knowledgeable and take the time to get to know you and your dogs needs. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite KC.
T Vece: Dog Training Elite Kansas City South help me train my Service Dog Bandit! They do such a wonderful job of teaching the handler what to do so that the dog responses to them. I loved that they came to our home for the beginning of the training, which allowed my wife to be part of the process. They go above and beyond to help you train.
Michele ukuma: Cat is an exellent trainee. She has all pacient to explain and understand the way she will help with the dog. I am super satisfied with her services. Thank you for help me with Crush.
Benjamin Roberts: Kat was an amazing trainer. For the cost I would recommend Dog Training Elite of Kansas City to any Veteran needing asssistance. What an amazing team!!!!
Lisa Autry: Our training with Misha our boarder collie could not have been more worth it. She is a completely new dog, listens well which is a huge plus for her. Now we can take her out and play with her in our field without fear of her taking off.All of the trainers were awesome to work with and the group Saturday trainings are definitely a must do. All the dogs have so much fun that morning. They get to show off their skills.
Russell Corn: Great group of people, definate results, highly recommend
Alethea Thomas: We had a great experience with this training style. My dog is a good listener, he knows what is expected for good behavior, and I get compliments all the time about him. Thanks to our trainer Kat, she is great at her job.
A Cobb: The BEST!! Our 6 year old rescued at age 3 and previously abused dog just completed the PTSD service dog training successfully after only 6 months!!!! Chuck and Cat are miracle workers!!! THANK YOU 🙏🏻
Greg Davis: We have been of working with DTE for awhile now, and I can attest to their patience and skills! Our golden retriever was a bit difficult for the trainers, but they managed to help!
Bethany Lindberg: Working with the staff at Dog Training Elite was a wonderful experience from start to finish. I definitely recommend them to anyone in the area looking for professional, effective and compassionate dog training.

Challenge Accepted Dog Training: what do users think?
Matt Gorman: They truly care and go above and beyond to make your pet and you.. Happy! 1000 percent recommend!
Priyanka Saha: Our Danny just had his first walk with Sumer last week and he loved it. We’ve known Sumer and Gardenia for a while and definitely trust them and their crew with our pup.Danny is very active and high energetic and we could rely on these folks. Looking forward to continuing relationship.
Heather Castelli: We love Gardenia and her staff!! Our pup doesn’t respond to his name so it was tricky finding boarding for him. Now, not only do both our pups get so excited when we pull up, they’re exhausted when they come home! We’ve also added on nail trimming and it’s so nice having it done in an environment they trust.
Baylie Meeker: No other trainer I send people to!I've known the owners and personally worked with them/some of their staff and dogs for years!What they do works. Their heart is in it for the right reasons, and I have so much love and trust for them and their facility.Great alternative when traditional social settings aren't a good fit or for senior pups! I can back this from experience that Gardenia has successfully consulted/worked beside our team and helped benefit dogs in the best way! Results shouldn't ever come from fear!!Be kind to your dog, train with CAKC!(Speaking of, send us more business cards, we're all out!! 😉 )
Robbie Harding: Luke the dog gives this place an A+ 5 star rating. Luke goes once a week on a regular schedule for daycare and boards when needed. He is excited on the morning the "daycare bus" picks him up (yes, they have an option for transportation) and comes home tired. Challenge Accepted was willing to board our little dog who had medical issues and was on a strict medication schedule and diet. Unfortunately he passed away before he got to meet the loving staff.Luke has gotten better about commands like sit and wait since attending daycare on a regular basis.We also worked with Challenge Accepted training a rescue dog who had anxiety issues. He responded well to Gardenia. Challenge Accepted has the patience to work with dogs who have issues and helps them become better canine companions.I don't worry about my dog when he is at Challenge Accepted.
Angie White: Gardenia, Heidi and the rest of the Challenge Accepted Team are amazing and have taken our pup in as family. Love that they are a second home for our Dixie letting her energy out in a safe, controlled and fun environment with other pup friends.
Mackenzie Stultz: 10/10 recommend for training, dog daycare, and boarding. They are dependable, trustworthy, and love the dogs like their own. My dogs love going to see Gardenia and their team and after training my fearful dog is so much more confident! I cannot recommend them enough!
Madison Champion: Challenge Accepted has been the best thing that’s ever happened to my dog Tito! He looks forward to every Wednesday on the Dog Bus. Tito is a reactive cockapoo who I never thought in a million years would be able to be boarded or go to dog day care. I no longer am worried about leaving Tito for a weekend, I know he’s in great hands with Gardenia. I’ve noticed a huge difference in Tito after he started seeing Gardenia. Gardenia has helped Tito’s confidence and he’s now not as reactive to new dogs he meets. Gardenia and Hedi have a passion for helping dogs, Tito warmed up to them instantly after meeting them. For anyone with a reactive or anxious dog you should really meet with Challenge Accepted! ❤️ I promise you won’t regret it!
Jan Wendleton: SPOILER ALERT - LOTS to say, lengthy post...After being rejected from one of the big 'doggy day care' chains, and knowing my COVID pup (now age 3) has anxiety issues, I was at wit's end with finding somewhere to board him. He needed to NOT be in a kennel all day long (what 80-lb labradoodle does?), he needed a safe place to be himself. He needed to run with the not-as-big/bigger than him dogs, and he (ok, let's face it I) needed to know he was getting human interaction and being met where he is. A friend suggested I call Challenge Accepted. OHMYGOODNESS, just talking with Heidi I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. She set up a time for Gardenia to visit us, meet our Chief, and put our minds at ease. Chief visited for day care before his week-long stay. For the first time EVER, he fell asleep in the car before we'd gotten 3 blocks away. And, total honesty, I did not worry more than a couple times during the 9 days he was boarding. I got updates, photos, and knew he was having the time of his life. He has made some bestie dog friends too! We've taken him back a couple times for day care and he's even gone in the WAGWAGN (great license plate!). He would have NEVER left his dad's side in the past.If you are looking for the BEST experience for your pet, versus the coolest looking (chandeliers, piped in music) / best uniforms LOOK NO FURTHER!(I will post photos when I upload them to my laptop, should've thought of that first)
Fred Holland: Now that our children are grown, the living creatures that most need our care and protection are our dogs, Zeus and Ziah. When they need to go for day care or multi-day boarding, there is no one we trust more than the folks at Challenge Accepted. Their expertise, professionalism, kindness and obvious love for what they do sets them apart. As a community, we are lucky to have them.
Erin Burke Foss: They love our dog like we do! Gardenia is loving and patient with our dog Chester and also with us! 😀
Melody Ghavami: Couldn't be happier with the care and training my dogs have received while working with Gardenia. So thankful to be able to send my fur babies to someone who will truly care for them and do what is best for them. Gardenia is a gem!!!
Sarah Christensen: Positive:Professionalism,Reliability,ResponsivenessGardenia came very highly recommended and she still exceeded my expectations! My dogs came home happy and worn out after a weekend at her house. I live in Overland Park and she was able to pick up and drop off my dogs which made everything so much easier.
Janet DeLeon: Our dog, Rocky, boarded with Gardenia Olivera at “Challenge Accepted Dog Training” for several days and we were completely thrilled with the service and caring he and we received. Rocky is an older dog and has health issues, but we felt completely comfortable with our choice to board him with Gardenia after receiving multiple pictures and updates each day. Gardenia is exceptional at communicating and knowing that Rocky was getting the best of care helped us to enjoy our time away. I would not hesitate to use this service again. In fact, I just booked his next stay!
Jessica Rose-Reneau: Gardenia is absolutely wonderful! We have known Gardenia for a few years and completely trust her with our fur babies. We live in the Prairie Village area and Gardenia watched our dogs when we went out of town for a weekend. She sent wonderful updates and we knew our babies were safe and happy with her. She treats our dogs like her own and truly cares about their well-being. She is intuitive to their needs and provides helpful insight into their behavior. Can’t say enough great things about Gardenia!
Jeff and Corban WoodsWehr: Working with Challenge Accepted was a great experience! We feel very lucky to have had the chance to work with Gardenia!Gardenia was able to show us how to be a better advocate for our dog. She taught us how to understand his body language and how to set him up for success for the future. Whenever we had questions (and we had many) she was always responsive and able to help us, even outside of our normal training time. When she was with us for training, her enthusiasm for her mission to help pups and their parents was evident.We appreciated getting to know her, the opportunity to learn from her and highly recommend Challenge Accepted!
Kathy Walden: We have used Challenge Accepted Dog Training for several months for various services, from puppy training to dog walk training to overnight pet sitting. Gardenia and her staff take a patient, positive, consistent approach to training, balancing professionalism with a genuine love for our dogs. Not only have we gotten great results from the dog training, but we’ve received the tools we need to keep it up on our own. When it comes to overnight pet/house sitting, i wouldn’t put my trust in anyone else. We come home to happy, tired dogs and a clean house — can’t ask for much more! We highly recommend Gardenia and her entire staff and plan to continue to use Challenge Accepted for years to come!!- Kathy, Overland Park, KS
Jessica Duvall: Koda and I can’t say enough positive things about Gardenia. Koda loved his weekly sessions with Gardenia and learned valuable skills from the very first session. Gardenia listened to what our training needs were and gave us the tools necessary to achieve our goals. My biggest fear was Koda running out the door when friends came to visit. After training, Koda and I both feel more confident in his ability to stay when friends come to visit or when distractions are present when walking outside.
Kathy Lloyd: Positive:Professionalism,ReliabilityHumphrey Bogart, my golden doodle, was very difficult to walk. He chased sprinklers, squirrels, birds, kids on bikes. Gardenia worked with him very patiently. He can now walk like he supposed to.
Jennifer Boller: Gardenia Olivera is a great fit for training our puppy (and us😂👍)She is a dog trainer in Kansas City and we are so happy we found her!She listens to what we need help with training our puppy, is a great communicator for scheduling and always shows up right on time!Looks forward to our future sessions🐶👍
sara bauman: Gardenia is amazing. She takes such wonderful care of our girls. When she stays at our home, you wouldn’t even know she was there, and the house is cleaner than when we left. Her service is impeccable, her communication is top notch and her knowledge of dogs and their behavior is very valuable. We have travelled a few times over the summer to get out of Overland Park for a few days here and there. With fairly short notice she was able to help us out and our girls were so pleased to have one of their faves around. We are so lucky that we found Gardenia through word of mouth from some friends who also use her for their fur kiddos.

Pawsitively Polite Dog Obedience Training - Kansas City Dog Training: what do users think?
Jennifer Rich: My husband and I hired Debbie to walk our very strong Black lab/Great Dane, Phineas. We also needed her to teach him how to obey commands and be a “good boy” when out & about - meaning not breaking loose to chase squirrels!What’s most impressive about Debbie is her calm demeanor. She’s relaxed but certainly the one in charge. Phineas gets so excited when she arrives - so we know they enjoy each other. Debbie’s also very prompt - which Phineas greatly appreciates. She’s been a godsend and I recommend her highly.
Komal: Debbie was a pleasure to train with! We have 3 corgis - a three year old and two puppies under six months. She was able to guide us on leash training, sit, stay, down, leave it, come, and a few other commands over the course of three virtual sessions. She helped us redirect the puppies and find training methods that worked for each of our dogs.We did in person group trainings through a local training center when our oldest dog was a puppy. While that was helpful, the one on one attention that Debbie provided led to our puppies learning new commands significantly faster as each session was tailored for them. We were able to adjust as needed and ensure that commands were taught and reinforced for each dog.Highly recommend for all your dog training needs!
Rachell Weiss: Debbie is amazing to work with. She understands the balance of teaching the pups, but also educating the best practices for humans too. When I reached out to her, I was looking for training for my puppy that was 6 months old and maybe a little more for my 4 month old puppy. Most everyone I reached out to wanted to do a standard program and that wasn't what I was looking for. They wanted to potty train and do basic commands which my dogs already knew. I wanted very specific training and Debbie was understanding and met me exactly where I was looking to be. We did two sessions and the pups picked everything up so fast. She was kind but firm and empowered me to be the same. I already had good pups, but now I have excellent pups and they love showing off their manners! I highly recommend working with Debbie!
Rita Hull: It was a pleasure to work with Debbie. She was professional, had great tips for training our puppy, and was very patient. We look forward to continued success using her training methods.
Debbie Serratore: We were so fortunate to find this trainer. We are the second home to our 6 month old sheepadoodle and we needed help with basic behavior issues. Debbie was professional, patient and gentle with our dog. An added bonus was that she made suggestions and actually taught us techniques to further train him. We would highly recommend Pawsitivy Polite Dog Obedience!
Trisha Dewet: Debbie is a great dog trainer! Our dog loved her and learned so much! Our dog pulled on a leash and is very reactive towards other dogs. She was patient, kind and showed us what we need to do moving forward! I would highly recommend her services!
pam raisher: Debbie was awesome with my 16 month old poodle. She helped us with better walking habits, better people skills and even taught me a few tricks to play with my puppy. Debbie is very professional, personable and always on time. Also very fair pricing.
Angie Adams: I hired Debbie to help my 10 mos labradoodle and myself learn commands that would make her a better well behaved dog.over 4 sessions, Debbie not only gave me guidance on how to train my pup but did it with my 5 y/o lab mix along side. Debbie works in real life situations and is patience and consistent. She used a number of different approaches in training, took the time to get to know my pup and my 5 y/o lab mix even though she wasn’t the client! I will hire her again for my next pup! I think it’s important to note that if you are not able to work on the skills taught in between sessions then this is not for you. Debbie taught me every dog needs the repetition that YOU are taught by your trainer. Dogs are a lot of work but it’s only the owners that should take responsibility for any (at least most) behavior issues they might have. Debbie gave me that foundation and was excellent in teaching them to me and my dogs!
Linda Ainsworh: I have 2 miniature Schnauzers who bark incessantly when people come to our house. Debbie is somewhat of a "dog whisperer ". She stays calm and the dogs view her as a very unthreatening. She was able to do what I thought was impossible in two visits. I hope I'm trained well enough to keep the progress going. I would highly recommend Debbie.
morgan england: I had high expectations for training. I was a little let down. Wasn’t a good fit for my dog. I canceled my last two sessions. Just knew my dog needs more than an hour session once a week. Make sure you are sure about how many sessions you want before buying them!!! I highly recommend start with two sessions and then going from there.. no refunds.
Jen Mays: Debbie was great with our new puppy. She worked with our crazy schedule and came to us to help train him in his own home. And she taught us how to continue his training on our own.
Gary Gulden: Debbie helped us train our 7 yr old dog to behave better on walks & with other issues e.g. taking treats, dropping toys etc. She clearly loves dogs and is an excellent trainer. Uses positive reinforcement and makes sure we know how to work with our dog in between sessions. We highly recommend her!
Jeff hutchins: Debbie does a great job teaching both me and our puppy Enzo good manners and pointers for continued training. I highly recommend Pawsitively Polite Dog Obedience Training!!
Christina Hurtado: Debbie is fantastic and I’ve already recommended her to several friends. She listens and is patient and attentive. Debbie helped me work on my energy/reaction to my dogs when they show undesired behaviors and gave me an understanding of the impact my reactions (both positive and negative) have on my dogs. My dogs responded really well to the training and I appreciate that we worked on positive reinforcement versus punishment.
John Holtz: Excellent communication skills, immediately established a positive rapport with our dog, very knowledgeable and good teacher. I highly recommend Debbie.
Jon Kowing: Debbie came over – she's very flexible with scheduling – and helped us get our heads around some really good basics to help us better guide and direct our the behavior of our two young dogs (2 & 3 yrs). It's helped me feel more confident and better equipped to direct and manage their – at times – unruly energy. And I think it's helped the dogs better understand the behavior we're asking of them. Debbie is a great listener and easy to chat with. And I really liked how she sometimes offers more than one way or suggestion to help correct a behavior. It's become easier to walk them and really fun to teach them (me?) a few "skills". I've never seen the pups so focused and attentive!
Taryn Kelly: Debbie is a phenomenal dog trainer! She came over to do a meet & greet consultation with our pups and we immediately saw positive changes! Debbie is firm, yet gentle...our dogs loved her and we all learned a lot! If your dogs are in need of training, seriously look no further! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!
Susan Stanzel: This is an excellent dog trainer. She comes to the home. Much better than going to a class. She uses positive reinforcement.
Tammy Bernhardt: Debbie is so Patient, Caring and Wonderful! My Puppy, Ellie and I just Love her. Ellie has made a lot of progress in just a short time. I highly recommend Debbie & Pawsitively Polite
Sam “David” Hollins: She is extremely polite and patient and has taught me several techniques!
Matheus Leonel: Debbie is great and patient. She works well and has different plans depending on what training your pet needs, she also trains the person as well as the pet.

Smartypaws LLC: what do users think?
Jasmine King: I worked with Debra years ago with my dog Ruby. I absolutely love her approach. With training she also teaches you how to train so you have the tools to teach your dog anything. He helped me be able understand the ques my dog is sending me. Thanks to her I can communicate better with Ruby than I ever thought was possible. Highly recommend!
Kinsey Clarissa: My experience with SmartyPaws was absolutely outstanding. Debra took so much time with both me and my dog and demonstrated so much knowledge and patience. Her empathy based teaching style was exactly what I wanted and needed to give my little pup new skills and new knowledge. Highly highly recommend giving SmartyPaws a shot!
Kenneth Cope: We did a great deal of research before selecting Smartypaws for the trainer of our puppy. We were not disappointed in our selection. Debra is the real deal. Her love for dogs and her compassionate and simple instruction was just what our dog needed. After each session she left us with tips to continue to work with our 9-month old Bella. She enjoys her training and continues to make progress.If you seek a well behaved and balanced companion in your dog, you could do no better than engaging Debra and Smartypaws to help you in that endeavor.
emily butler: We are so grateful for Debra! Our family has two elementary age kids and this summer we adopted our first puppy. Before Bailey even came home, Debra spent time with me on the phone answering questions and offering suggestions and support to help us be prepared. Our in-person training sessions began soon after and Debra gave our kids, our puppy and us the education and tools we all needed to be safe and happy together! Her knowledge and passion for training dogs, teaching kids and supporting families has been invaluable. Having Debra in our corner has meant having endless resources, a listening ear and a kind heart to support us.
Tracy Turner: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Reliability,ResponsivenessDebra knows and loves dogs with all her heart! Years of experience working with dogs and families really shines through. She “trained” us how to train our dog using positive reinforcement to potty OUTside. A huge win!I always refer her to anyone looking for help with their dogs.
Ashlea Burnos: Positive:Professionalism
shannon nichols: Debra is the best in the business. She treats you and your pet with kindness always. She helped navigate a newborn adjustment phase where we were considering getting rid of our pet. She made suggestions and helped us process what was going on. She provided unbiased expert feedback, and made suggestions against rehoming our pup. We are so glad (18 months later) that we contacted Debra, and that she helped us understand how to approach our issues.
McKenzie Steggerda: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Reliability,Responsiveness,ValueDebra is wonderful at what she does. She is such a loving person and treated our golden retriever like her own. If you are going on vacation and you want your dog to be on vacation as well, I would 100% recommend Debra Murray with Smarty Paws!

Kelly Grover: Debra is very knowledgeable about training dogs and working with dogs of all kinds and behaviors. She is excellent in working with families and teaching families how to keep dogs and kids safe together. She has really helped me With our large and hyper golden doodle and our 5 kids, two of which are special needs and requires some extra knowledge and patience. She is very kind and respectful, knowledgeable and helpful and has really helped us make our life with kids and dogs manageable. I am really thankful for the training I have received through smartypaws and really thankful we have such a great dog trainer! I highly recommend Debra and her group classes and individual packages.

Kristy Boblet: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Reliability,Responsiveness,ValueDebra knows dogs! She’s a dog whisperer 😋. She trains the FAMILY on how to train dogs and teaches children very early on how to behave around dogs and to respect them. No one loves dogs more than Smarty Paws.
Stephanie Baldridge: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Reliability,Responsiveness,ValueDebra was awesome to work with and loves her Job. Dogs respond to her and love her. She was very professional and always arrived on time and ready to teach my doggies! Call Debra if you want someone to teach your dogs and love them at the same time.
Jessica H: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Reliability,Responsiveness,ValueDebra is the "real deal" when it comes to high quality dog training and care. She knows her stuff and can teach dog families as well. The care she shows to her pups is exactly what you want to see when looking for a place to board. Check her out for all your dog care and training needs!
Marc Manley: Debra is the best dog trainer in the KC area. She loves your dog like her own and makes herself available day or night to answer questions about any problems you may be having. Our family has used her to train two dogs now and we receive nothing but compliments on how well behaved our dog is. We owe that all to Debra at Smartypaws and would never feel comfortable going anywhere else in the future.
Chavae McGee: Critical:Professionalism,Value
Sarah Vines: We were leaving town for a week and a friend offered to watch our new 7 month old puppy so we didn't have to pay to board her. Our friend has a 3 year old male springer spaniel who is very sweet but used to being an only dog. Debra took the time to give us some pointers on getting the dogs acquainted before we left. The first meet up between them went way better than we expected thanks to her advice. Over a two week period we got them together a couple times and by the time we were ready to drop off our puppy there were no issues. I now have video of them playing together and running around the yard. I was extremely nervous but everything has gone so well and it's all thanks to Debra and her advice. Thank you so much!
