I’ve been taking my dog breezy (vizsla) not only for daycare but also training. Francesca is awesome at training and has breezy obeying and makes breezy use her brain both mentally and physically. I highly recommend her. Mike runs a tight ship and has one of the best daycare’s I’ve been to. To everyone who reads this you must check it out.
