Madysen & Beego
“After just a few sessions with Zach… our pup was walking right at our side and letting us dremel all four paws without a fight! Within a month Beego achieved complete neutrality toward the activity and now lays completely still for an entire session… Beego and I learned how to foster a calm state of mind and mutual understanding/respect for one another through the foundational work provided by Zach.”
