"I was often shaking my head with disbelief at what the one-on-one training with Opportunity Barks was able to get my girl to do when we sought help with her anxiety over vet visits and grooming. They were great about showing me how to reinforce the training at home, so I also feel more confident continuing the process. Leigh was amazing at not only showing us how to elicit the appropriate behavior we sought, but also in explaining the 'why' behind the process."
