I am so grateful for Legend Acres. I rescued a 6 week old puppy and she's been training since she's 10 weeks old. Started in home training then moved to group training. My puppy is now turning 10 months old and is such a loving well behaved puppy. I learned so much about how to train my pup and myself. Their fear free force free approach is such a great way of training. I will recommend Legend Acres and Kristi May to anyone I know who needs a dog trainer. - Surprise, Arizona

I didn't have any knowledge about dog but my dog is a really difficult dog for the entry level dog handler for his rough past. I started working with Kristi for 7 months now. I just followed her curriculum and advice. I also sometime fascinated Dog trainer youtuber like dog daddy... Well She is the professional and give a realistic and suitable training tools. My dog changed a lot. Even my neighbors ask me how I trained him. - Surprise, AZ
