"It's such a fulfilling relief to know that I can leave my precious dog in such great hands with Compatible Companions. I will definitely go back and I highly recommend all my family and friends to go there as well." - By Joe P.

"Sandy was great! We have a rambunctious young German Shepherd and she taught us how to train her and turn her into a well-mannered dog." - By Susan K.

"The trainer was great gave us all the tools so our dog can grow and learn together fantastic trainer taught us a lot." Vic H. 

"Sandy is an amazing trainer, I was definitely skeptical as I have never been to a trainer before but she exceeded my expectations. I got my dog from another owner and she was never trained before but thanks to Sandy she was able to learn how to sit, lay down, and how to walk without pulling. I would definitely recommend her to anyone, as she also works with your schedule and is very friendly." - Sabreena T. 

"Great job watching my little ones while I was out of town for a week." Krystal G.

"Compatible Companions is amazing! Sandy is an excellent dog trainer and was super flexible with our crazy schedule. My husband and I attended eight sessions with our pup who is a spirited and high-energy dog. I couldn't believe the progress we were able to make with him in such a short time. We will definitely be signing up for more sessions to continue improving his skills. It is such a fun time and the training environment is super nice and clean. Highly recommend!" - By Maggie P.

The owner does a great job. Professional. Polite. Our dog always comes back home happy and healthy. Highly recommend. Worth the price.

Ms. Lacy kept Alfred for us for a one-night stay. She was very friendly and treated Alfred like one of her own pets. She sent me videos and pictures to keep me updated as well. Alfred had a fantastic stay and I highly recommend Ms. Lacy if you want to feel at ease while you are away. Overall a great experience.

Sandy obviously loves dogs and is a master at teaching them and their owners what we need to know to continue training after the series of classes end. My 4+ year old Golden Retriever Charlie and I learned so much and we both had fun. He is now much more responsive and a delight. He loved the lessons and Sandy, too.

He's matured nicely and his mom, Sarah says; "he's the best dog ever!”

Dolly is the best behaved pet in our neighborhood. She can walk off leash and stays close to me. She is just a great, very smart pet thanks to Sandy’s great basic training. She turned a difficult puppy into the joy of our family. Now she is almost 3 years old and pure sunshine.

Kaci and Bullet have both been through classes with Sandy.
Bullet now has his Canine Good Citizen Certification! Good job!

Thank you sandy. Here she is. She learned to walk by my side on leach and with out as well. And I have learned how to make her feel safe around other dogs. I really like the training classes I took with you. You are very friendly and very knowledgeable. Thank you. I wish you the best .

Hi Sandy, Sam is doing well. You can definitely use our picture and if you need any reference feel free to give my email. Wish you were still in Oregon, we got another doodle when we moved to Florida and I could not find a decent trainer. We recently moved back to Hillsboro and I went into Petco to sign up with you. Now I know why your name was not there. Best of luck with your new adventure!
Best wishes, Jana

Hi Sandy! We brought Summer in for training when she was about a year old, soon after she had been chased by an off-leash, out of control "big" dog at a city park. She was terrified of all dogs and most unknown people. You worked with us in a class with smaller, younger dogs. It really helped her be more confident. She is 6 years old now, and we walk at the park nearly every day. While I don't think she will ever be outgoing with other dogs, she is no longer afraid of them. We really appreciate everything you taught us!

Hi Sandy!

You can use our pictures from training, we don't mind. Tidus is doing well with his training at home but we need to practice a bit more outside. We bring him to the dog park to run off all his energy but he has gotten in the habit of not coming back when he is called. We will be doing more training at the dog park  🙂
Thank you for all your help during puppy level 1!

Hi Sandy! I was just thinking of you yesterday, as I brought the dogs into the groomers. I walked Zev around the store, and asked him if he remembered his classes there. How nice to hear from you! You are a great trainer of dogs and their people! You taught me a lot, and gave me some very valuable tips. Wishing you all the best - Judy

Niko and I are doing much better, all thanks to your wonderful patience and guidance. I washed my mom's dog yesterday and it was a major battle of wills. I washed Niko today and it was so much more pleasant, like night and day. Grooming and bathing him has become much more pleasant for the both of us. As of a year or so ago we finally got him to come when called much more easily. Only took a few mile stretch of beach that doesn't see much activity for me to feel comfortable letting him of leash to practice it better. Now I don't mind it as much if he wanders off while in the front yard. Thank you for helping Niko become more of a companion and less of a chore.
