I just wanted to say THANK YOU for the excellent training Layla and I received at boot camp. I was nervous about spending this kind of money on training for a 4-5 year old rescue dog with lots of bad habits and a dog family with even worse training habits. I am so glad I did, the training both Layla and I received from Cele is priceless!
Layla now walks by my side with out pulling me over as she is trying to chase a squirrel, when she sees something like a squirrel or a bunny, she "leaves it" and just keeps walking! We are able to let her off the leash and actually have her come when she is called!!! This is truly amazing given where she was before boot-camp.
I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of the training. Cele, you are way way better than the dog whisper! Thanks to all of you, this training has dramatically impacted the amount of fun we are now able to have with Layla.

Cele and Jeff,
Wow! A million thanks are not enough - your work with Shanoa has gone so far beyond our wildest expectations. You are truly miracle workers. We couldn't be happier with the boot camp results.

Cele,
We want to take this moment to say THANK YOU for doing such an AMAZING job with Cooper. The progress he has made over the past month has definitely exceeded our expectations.
We know that Cooper is a unique dog, with unique challenges and we so appreciate all your patience and love you gave him during training. We feel so much more confindent that Cooper will now make a great big brother.
You are an amazing trainer wtih an amazing gift! Thank you - Thank you!!

I wanted to let you know how great boot camp was for Bella [Golden Retriever]. She was totally in love with Cele, and seemed sad when we were no longer shuttling her off in the morning. I had done quite a few obedience classes with Bella from puppy on but couldn't get anywhere with her in regards to heeling on leash. After working with Cele she is such a good girl on leash. Her electronic collar training went really well also. In such a short period she actually responds now when she is off leash. She has always been a great dog, just a few stubborn streaks. Now with Cele's help, Bella is really as close to the perfect dog as we could imagine. Most of the problems were mine, and not Bella's! I only wished we lived closer so Bella could stop by for daycare.
Regards,

[Written by Bella the Yorkie:] To my trainer Cele,
Thank you so much training me to be such a good dog for my mommy and daddy. I had a lot of fun with you and will miss seeing you everyday. I have enclosed a gift that I think you and Cheddar will enjoy together!
Love, Bella XOXO
Cele, we can't think you enough for the wonderful training you did with Bella. We are so happy with the results. Bella and I will definitely be coming to visit you. I will miss our daily chats. Thanks, again.

Lily is doing amazingly back at the house so far. We took her around while we worked today and we had to go to a strangers house
wehre there were three people and two dogs and she did phenomenally there too.
Thanks Cele, and again, I just want to say she is just a success story to end all success stories!

Dear Cele,
Dave and I want to express our heartfelt appreciation and thanks for the incredible work you've done with Cian. In only a month and a half, our dog went from being a horror to walk to an accomplished and confident loose-leash walker! I am AMAZED!
I am particularily appreciate that I no longer dread encountering other dogs, squirrels, or rabbits on our walks. I can instead actually enjoy Cian's company. He is much calmer overall, too. I think that knowing what the
"rules" are for his behavior helps Cian feel more confident and relaxed. No more rushing to the door when the bell rings, and no more jumping on visitors. Thank you.
Best,
Kate Townes, Minneapolis
Cele, Thank you so much for helping us to get Dobby onto the right track-there are no words for how much we appreciate what you have done. We hope to see you around as we continue to take classes
or to board Dobby with the only person I trust as much as myself to care and love Dobby (and to get him to listen!). Thank you so much!
Melissa, Nate and Dobby
Macduff is having a great time in Boot Camp, and he is learning so much! We are so glad we found your awesome training program.

We know it is due to your patient and tireless work with her. Daisy will miss seeing you adn all of her friends everyday - as she had so much fun in addition to working hard.
Thank you for everything!

Cele, 8 weeks ago Maise was a raw puppy! Now she is starting to act like a big beautiful dog and she is an absolute joy. Thanks so much for sharing all of you knowledge, experience and patience with me and my new best friend. We will see you again a little later this summer.
Kesha Tenabe and Maise, Minneapolis
Dear Cele,
Hey Cele. I had to just let you know an experience we had over the weekend. We had friends over for dinner Sat night and one of them is allergic to cats and dogs, and so we were extremely conscious of keeping Kiki in control, maybe more so than usual. Brooke put the leash on Kiki right before they came and she sat and did not move until they came. Then she had some difficulty but we managed okay, and then she stayed where she was, in a down position, until she was invited into the kitchen area. Then I had her on her "bed", with treats every once in a while, for about 1 1/2 hours. She never once barked, she moved once but went right back when I made a sound. Eventually we released her and she milled about and visited (turns out this guest LOVES dogs and thought she was so amazing!) and did VERY well. Overall it was THE most successful guest experience we've had with her. She was SO well-behaved and wonderful! I'm sure your ears were ringing because we were talking about how great you have been with her.
So, I was a proud mama, and I thought you should be too!!!

Took dogs to the vet today. Dr Marie Nation volunteered she saw a huge difference in Milo. He did not growl as usual, he was calm and waited in a nice sit for his nail trim.
I shared about boot camp and she asked about The Canine Coach and Milos very good teacher. That lil guy makes us all look good.
Thanks again from Milos Moms, and kudos to you for your good work.

Hi Cele,
I just wanted to write and say thanks again for your help with Jazzy's training. She changed so much in that month at boot camp. I am really pleased with her walking manners. Now that I am properly trained she and I do a lot of walking together. :-) She is doing really well on her walks. She is really great about people and usually can manage to not bark at other dogs.
There are the occasional lapses but they aren't very common anymore. I have taken her to the outdoor track on practice days for the kids and we will sit and watch the people coming and going and she has improved so much. There is still the odd man who makes her bark but I have been very happy with how she is doing and she continues to improve.
We sure appreciate all you did for her while she was in boot camp! I
am so glad we were smart enough to call Canine Coach when we brought home our scared little 5 month old puppy. It was such a great experience and it really kick started her training.
Dianne Dyball and Jazzy, Eagan
Hi, Cele,
I am writing to say thank you for the wonderful job that you did with teaching Ginger during her time at Boot Camp. I have been working with her most days on reinforcing the training and she seems to have retained everything that she was taught.
