The rumors are true. As a parent ive experience most unprofessional set of individuals employed there. Incidents with my children as far as with bulling my child's medical condition, that was info was presented to the class by a teacher. Marks on a child from biting but no incident report sent home, just a "we've been trying to reach you" after communication through talking points as well as emails, somehow when that happens I couldnt be reach. A nurse that needs a mental alignment & leave personal feelings outside the workspace. This has been the worst schooling experience my children have experienced. In my personal opinion this school is for parents who see their child as have no future in life. I wouldn't recommend it for a dog training camp
