Client Reviews
"Working with Indi has truly been an amazing experience. When we first met with her, we worked with our dog Apollo on tasks like leaving/dropping things that were not her toys, she also helped train with socialization and being around people and other dogs. After the time with Indi, Apollo listens so well and is now doing well being around people and in public. We love her training style and would recommend her to anyone!!"
Beckie Kiernan
"What a difference Indi’s training made for my dog and me! Indi transformed a sometimes-unruly dog into a delightful companion, eager to please and quick to respond to word or signal commands. Indi took the time to understand what was needed, customizing the training to help adjust my dog’s behavior. Thank you, Indi, for the huge difference your training made in the quality of my dog’s life and mine!"

Justin Martin
"Indi was recommended by a friend. We have a puppy with a few unwanted behaviors, and we wanted her to be well behaved. We choose Indi to help with these things instead of conventional training programs. Extremely pleased! Our pup responds to all the things we have learned. Indi was so easy to work with and made everything so simple to understand. A well-trained dog is a great dog that everyone can enjoy being around. Thanks, Indi for the positive training!"
Sandra Rakes
"Awesome doesn't even begin to describe our experience with Indi! We were so pleased with her techniques and how quickly our dog responded to her. Her teaching was so effective considering we got much more accomplished than we had counted on. I would recommend Indi to anyone without hesitation. Thanks again, Indi!"
