Testimonials:

Dani Marsh- Vet Nurse
As a long-time veterinary nurse, I cannot recommend Sidney enough. I have tried many different dog trainers, but Sidney is the only one who has truly helped me and my mini Groodle. While veterinary nursing has equipped me with extensive knowledge on animal care, it doesn’t delve deeply into behavior unless you specialize. This became even more evident after starting regular training with Sidney, who taught me how to effectively train my dog. I highly recommend Sidney to all my friends and colleagues in the industry.
