    Gail did an awesome job with my pup. Emma is very smart. She sleeps through the night since day one, and she has had no pottie accidents. ( uses litter tray) Gail had her in great shape( physical and mental)and has adapted to her new home without issues. Gail was honest on everything concerning taking care of the pup. Thank you sooooo much😊🤗🤗
