Success Stories
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I wanted to share my fantastic experience with Sherry, who came highly recommended by a co-worker. I am so glad I decided to entrust her with boarding and training my Husky/German Shepherd mix, Jameson, who used to act quite unruly around other animals outdoors.
Within just a few days of Sherry working with Jameson, I noticed remarkable improvements through the daily videos she sent me. He appeared calmer and was already showing a noticeably different demeanor.
When I picked him up, Sherry took the time to conduct a thorough training session with me. She carefully explained what she had worked on with Jameson and demonstrated in detail how I could continue reinforcing these behaviors at home. She patiently answered all my questions, which I greatly appreciated.
The change was immediate—on the drive home, Jameson stayed relaxed in a down position the entire time, something he had never done before!
Sherry truly exceeded my expectations, and I will be recommending her services to all my friends, family, and even strangers! If you are considering training for your dog, I cannot recommend Sherry highly enough.

I highly recommend Side by Side Dog Training. After only 2 sessions, my 100 pound foster dog could be walked with a loose leash. Sherry had unlimited patience with the dog and the handler. I think I needed that vote of confidence more than the dog. This has been a life changing experience and I believe I can take what I’ve learned from Sherry to help other foster dogs. Thank you from the bottom if my heart!
