Trish is an AMAZING trainer! She knows how to connect with both dogs and people in a way that fosters learning for everyone. Classes are super fun and easy to follow; my puppy knows when it’s time for school and gets so excited! I can’t wait for next weeks class, and plan on taking more classes in the future! I HIGHLY recommend Trish and Sterling Canine Academy!
