"Ashley, we want to thank you for all you have done for Buddy. Buddy is a 4-year old salt and pepper miniature Schnauzer that we got 2-1/2 years ago from Schnauzer Rescue. He had been abused by a larger dog in the home prior to us taking him. He has always been afraid of dogs and had aggressive barking and behavior when a dog approached him on leash. (In other words, he would literally go nuts.) After four training sessions with you, Buddy is now able to walk past a dog without going crazy and walk with one of your dogs side-by-side for a 2-mile walk. Today, he did not bark at all when we passed four dogs. A few weeks ago this would have been absolutely impossible for him. He is still practicing and will need to be praised for being brave, but we cannot thank you enough for helping us with our little guy. You have done amazing things for us and we will tell everyone to give you a call should they need any type of obedience training."
Sincerely, Todd and Linda Schwaba
"What a difference Ashley has made in our Smooth Fox Terrier, Brie! Previously, Brie would pull on her leash, ignore commands, and jump on our four year old daughter. After spending a few days with Ashley, Brie is a completely different dog! Now she is very attentive, extremely obedient and acts on all commands we give her. Ashley has definitely made a difference in Brie!"

"Ashley's Training at The Barkley changed my whole way of thinking, which in turn, changed Daisy. Sure my dog could sit, stay, lay down...but she did it for the wrong reasons. And Ashley showed me that. She pointed out small things that meant little to me, but a whole lot more to Daisy.
"Daisy and I have such a good understanding of each other now... all thanks to Ashley!!"
- Sue Balsom and Daisy
