Testimonial

Just what the doctor ordered

by Ellen K.

Tonight I had the joy of sitting through Ian's expectant mother seminar and I am more than pleased with how it went! It was simple to follow, precise, and hit every concern I could have possibly had and more. His presentation style draws you in easily and keeps you captivated - he's blunt without being rude and enthusiastic enough without being campy. He was quick to answer our questions and address our concerns with respect and understanding. I would absolutely recommend utilizing Ian's skills and knowledge to any dog parent out there!
