Abby











Queenie

"We liked the extra time and
patience you took with us and
Abby and that you came to
our environment." -- Pam Zanoni
 
"Very personable trainer,
very good advice and very
helpful.  Queenie is more
relaxed."

-- Shirley Shoff
 

Chewy



"I felt it was the best thing we could have done for
our new puppy.  Chewy was really rambunctious
when we got him from the Humane Society.  After
the first training session, what a big difference!   I
honestly thought it would take forever with Chewy,
but it was not like that at all. GREAT job, Thank you
for all you have done." -- Joe Castania
 

Hemi

"We learned that our dog is trainable!  Patience,
repetition, and praise are the keys to training a very
active Yorkie puppy.  Debbie is a fantastic and
patient instructor who really understands our needs
as we are trying to learn (along with our puppy) how
to have a happy, well behaved dog household.  We
couldn't be happier!  Thank you!"

                      --  L.aura Boland
 


Sydney

"I definately noticed an improvement in my dog's
behavior!  The greatest benefit of my training
sessions was how to deal with a timid dog.  I liked
the individual attention."   --  Lynn. Brace
 


Molly

"The training was great.  We both learned a lot and
it was also fun while being educational"
      -- Debbie Lepley
 

Baxter














Barney



"This training was great.  I
did not believe that after the
first session, my puppies
were "getting it".  Everything
we asked for, we got , but
without Debbie's instruction
for us, we could not have
achieved what we did in just 3
sessions.  My puppies  are
smart puppies because of
Debbie".

-- Ruth Ann Siemon
 

Hines

Debbie is a wonderful teacher!  She is
patient, kind and knowledgeable, the
perfect "tutor" for my puppy and me.  
As a first time owner, I had a hundred
and one questions -- all of which she
was able to answer.  She never
appeared rushed or in a hurry to
complete our sessions, always
mentioning I could call her at home with
additional questions and/or concerns.  I
would recommend her training services
to anyone interested.
                   -- Kim Deaner
 
Chloe                     Cassie


Debbie did a great job adapting to the different          
ways my puppies learned and took whatever time      
was needed for each step,according to each             
pups' ability.  She was very patient and kind to           
them, as she was training me.  I was glad we had       
this training class.  My puppies are more                    
confident.
    -- Judy Brant
 
Rascal




He (Rascal) made amazing improvement after only    
one session in learning to sit and not jump.

                     -- Darlene Dively
 
Molly




I think the BeeHaven training really helped both        
Molly and me.  What I learned most was how little I    
knew about training Molly.  My overall impression      
of this training was excellent.
                   --Robert Hall
 
Gus





I am so impressed with Debbie.  She is extremely       
organized and professional.  It's amazing to me         
that Debbie is available to people like me in such a    
small town.  She taught me so much and gave me      
the confidence that I needed to train my puppy.         
She obviously loves dogs and has an amazing           
ability to get them to "beehave!"  I highly                    
recommned BeeHaven Canine Coaching.

Lucy
Gravel
Rosie
Reggie
BeeHaven trained us as pet parents in
how to communicate with Lucy in a fun
way that allows us to trade bad
behavior for good behavior.  It gave us
the tools to give Lucy what she needs
to make her a calmer, well behaved,
friendly dog who people want to be
around.  We can see a major change
in Lucy and look forward to more fun
and training in the future.

             -- Gary Speicher
Not only have I seen a change in
Gravel, I see a change in myself on the
manner of handling certain techniques
in different situations.  I got just as
much training as Gravel did and I am
highly pleased with the dedication
Debbie has given us both.  Not only do
we consider her as a good instructor,
but we also consider her a friend.

             -- Cindy Cox
My rescue dog, Reggie, was new to
me and had some trust issues.  
Training and working with him has
made him more comfortable and
confident.  He is now a braver good
boy!

                     -- Jill Morgan
I really enjoyed meeting Debbie and
having her work with Rosie and me.  
She has great patience and quite a
way with dogs.  Her training tips really
helped me know what would work with
Rosie and help her become a more
well mannered puppy.

I would recommend BeeHaven and
Debbie to anyone and I have truly
enjoyed my sessions!  I have gained a
better understanding of how my dog
thinks and "BeeHaves".  

              --Elizabeth Fay
This series of session was fun as well
as educational.  Sessions were quick
paced to keep participants (human &
canine) on task, but casual with
adequate individual attention.  Debbie
is kind and effective with direction.  An
excellent first training course.
                -- Marlene Suto-Walters


I had private lessons with Debbie, first
with my Sydney.  We felt we were
ready for a group class and my very
shy and very fearful dog has become
more interested in people and other
dogs and not running or hiding from
them.
                              -- L.ynn Brace

Debbie was always helpful
in providing suggestions to
help us, even items outside
of the training of basic
manners.  Our dog is also
more responsive to us.

      -- Kristen Winters
Simon and I started training with BeeHaven Basic Manners
Level 1 and we enjoyed learning how to train with new
tricks and skills in Level 2.  Training was made fun!
                                             -- Gladys  Maust

Tika and I had been through training before and this was a
great experience to spend time with Tika and help continue
her training.
                                            -- Joann Vaughn

Karma and I started training with BeeHaven Basic Manners
Level 1.  Karma is afraid of many things and going on to
Level 2 has helped her.  The trainingn teaches me to be
patient and work at my dog's speed.
                                             -- Angie Lewis
                      
                              
This training has been a
training experience as much
for us, as the dog.  It was
most interesting to learn
about positive reinforcement
rather than negative.  So
happy we found you!  
Thanks so much!
                   -- Kathy Bell
Debbie loves dogs and its
evident in her training.  
She was so helpful.  I
never would have thought
of half the things she
taught me.  I really
appreciated her help and
knowledge!

I so enjoyed meeting

appreciated all the
information and
training session for
Gracie -- and me!  
Learning how they
(dogs) think and
respond was eye
opening.  Thanks for
the fun!
                Patti Ohler
It was interesting to
see Buddy learn a
behavior and see
how quickly he
responded to food
rewards!   

                                 
      Margie Welker
I enjoyed the
training session
very much.  The
greatest benefit
was learing to train
in baby steps.  
Everything was
great!
         
                         
Theresa Formica
I thought everything was
covered well.  Debbie is
amazing with dogs --
fast, professional and
efficient.  Well beyond
our expectations.

     Angie Svonavec
I recommend BeeHaven
Canine Coaching to anyone
who would like to improve the
conduct, attitude and behavior
of their dog.  We enjoyed the
training while it was happening
and we are more than satisfied
with the results.  Everything
was lighthearted and positive
and that environment is good
for pets and pet owners!

                 Barb Dirienzo
What Debbie has done, was
to show me the proper ways
to get responses from Ack.  
In plain English, Debbie
trained ME!  Ack responded
to her training faster than I
expected; overcoming her
shyness and developing into
an individual.  When Ack
began her training, she was 7
years old, also a rescue from
a puppy mill.  With Debbie's
guidance, she is developing
into a well-behaved, confident
friend
                         Tom Klis
We are very pleased
with the training
provided by
BeeHaven Canine
Coaching.  Training
allowed us to focus
on the positive rather
than stressing about
the negative.  Deb
was very patient with
us and our dogs.  I
truly believe our dogs
began to look forward
to her visits and
training.  It is fun for
us to see them learn
and improve.  
Regardless of a dog's
training, all dogs can
use more.

Finnegan
Taz
Boots
Jack
Abby and Polly
I wasn't sure what to expect
when it came to training Taz.  
Up to this point, things were
usually done on Taz's terms.  
I was greatly surprised to see
an improvement in Taz after
just one lesson.  He was
focused, excited, and quick
to learn.  I had not seen that
in him before.  Debbie was
patient, kind, and
knowledgeable.    Taz still is
not perfect, but I do enjoy
him more now than I did
before.  I credit the lessons
for making this possible.  

      Beverly J. Noel
We have an extremely active
(and loveable) Shipoo and
Debbie has done an excellent
job with him.  It was interesting
that Debbie was able to get
Finnegan to do whatever you
asked in such a short period of
time.  I actually enjoyed all the
sessions, they were interesting
and very helpful.  

           Toni J. Clark
I enjoyed working with Debbie, Boots
was always happy to see her arriving.  
Debbie did a wonderful job with Boots.  
He is not easily persuaded.  It was
interesting to see Boots doing what you
wanted him to do.  I got more self
knowledge about dogs and how dogs
think from these sessions.

Pirate
My overall impression of
training was Excellent.  Very
good classes, enjoyed them
and meeting a new friend.

           Joyce Howard
Trainer (Debbie) was very
well prepared and very
good at getting Raven to
do what she was suppose
to do.  I would highly
recommend her.  I
benefited by learning how
to train the dog and how
willing the dog was to
learn.

Scott Zimmerman
I highly recommend this
program to anybody who
feels their dog will never
listen.  That's how I felt
in the beginning, but that
has changed, Thanks to
BeeHaven Canine
Coaching!!!  i wish we
would have signed up a
long time ago!  Very
worth the time!

          Ryan Devine
Extremely happy with
BeeHaven Canine
Coaching - couldn't ask
for better training
sessions.  Our big dogs
are slow learners and
Debbie had the patience
and motivation to get
them to learn.  We are
extremely pleased with
our dogs' behaviors and
new found manners.  
Thank You!

Ozzie
Thank you, Debbie!  
Training was fun
and really helped
Ozzie to become a
happier, more
well-adjusted
member of the
family.

Bully
Sidney
What a valuable service
BeeHaven offers!  My
shelter dog, Bully, has
responded to Debbie
and her training
techniques very well.  
Debbie offers many
opportunities for
questions and
reinforcement.  I love
that I can communicate
with Bully and we
understand each other
much better these days.
 I will recommend
BeeHaven training very
highly to anyone
seeking dog training.  
           
         Carrie Merschat
We found Debbie to be a
very committed, patient and
personable trainer resulting
in a considerably more
relaxed and disciplined
Sidney.  She was extremely
efficient and organized in
her positive reinforcement
based training
methodologies where each
session provided improving
behaviors and manners.  
However, in reality, we were
the real beneficiaries of
Debbie's training and now
have a much better
understanding of how
Sidney thinks and acts.  
Very rewarding experience!
