With a new puppy coming, we wanted to do this right. Then when faced with finding the right trainer, someone local, we found that our choices were very limited. Then we found McCann Dogs on YouTube but we wanted more structured content and learned that with McCann Dogs, we could have the quality training that we had hoped for and at a price point that was affordable when compared to local in person training. So we signed up for the “Full Bundle” of classes and after going through the Puppy Prep Guide and watching just a handful of the available Zoom classes, we know that we made the right decision. I’ve never trained a dog in my life but I am filled with so much confidence that I can absolutely learn to be a leader and teacher for my puppy. I can see the love and passion that all the staff at McCann Dogs have for dogs and for what they do!!! And that gives me the confidence with the guidance of the McCann staff that I can do it!!!
