Client (Private Training) - Michael M.
"Bill Giese is one of the kindest and most competent people with whom I have worked. It is not easy to allow someone in your home and make yourself vulnerable enough for constructive criticism to help you improve the training of your pet. Bill skillfully accomplished this without ever making me feel belittled. Even more importantly, Bill got my wife and two children involved with helping Coco work on her challenges, and our own. I am a better parent to my children because of Bill showing me how to be a better resource for my pet and fifth family member. Thanks, Bill!"
