“Jess Barry and her team at Where Sit Happens have made a huge difference in life for Sweet Pea and her family! Sweet Pea is a leash reactive rescue and Jess has been amazing, training both the Pea and her family so we can have calmer walks. We’ve even been able to join the group training classes with other dogs in the same space! I can’t speak highly enough of our experience.”
-Cynthia G. & Sweet Pea
