We just wrapped up Puppy Kindergarten with our pup, Rookie, and had a fantastic experience with A+ Dog Training. Lindy is incredibly knowledgeable and has a no-nonsense approach that gets results. She truly wants every dog to be a well-behaved, enjoyable companion, and her training reflects that. The class gave us a great foundation, and we’re looking forward to continuing with future training. Highly recommend!

We have had a great experience with A+ Dog Training. It all started over a year ago when Lindy did a home visit for Bear. I quickly realized how little I knew about training a dog, much less one that was going to be large. We have been through puppy obedience, beginner's obedience, and intermediate, where he earned his canine good citizen. We are now in advanced obedience and hope to do nose training next. All of the trainers are excellent and full of knowledge- and my dog loves them. We look forward to going to training each week!!! I wholeheartedly recommend!!

This is our 3rd time (3 different dogs) that we attended the Basic Obedience class and I HIGHLY recommend all new puppy owners that have a 6 month to 1 year old dog to attend this class. You will learn more about yourself and how that impacts your dogs training. You will also build a life long bond with your puppy. Lindy is awesome and helped out a great deal with our Rotty. Do yourself a favor and attend 1 class to see how this works and you'll love it.

I have a 1 yr 9 month old high energy doberman. I went through Lindys beginner, intermediate, and advanced class. My puppy used to jump at me, jump at others, put her mouth on people, and completely frustrating to walk. With APlus dog training we now enjoy walks, she knows commands and no longer puts her mouth on anyone when she gets excited. I learned how to communicate with her and I can now bring her to family parties with kids. I'm genuinely thankful for Lindy, Alexa, Cassie, and the other dog owners I've met in class. My puppy and I have greater independence and a more enjoyable home.

We found A+ Dog Training a few years ago and couldn’t have found a better place to train our German Shepherd Molly and me. It was actually me that needed the training. I had never trained a dog before. Never had much experience with dogs. Molly did have some training before but her Daddy was the handler. I was very anxious and nervous at the beginning. Because of that Molly was also anxious and nervous. Lindy knew exactly what we needed. It took some time, but with Lindy’s and Alexa’s help and advice Molly and I have become a well trained, happy and fun team. Molly is relaxed and happy to be around people. You can find her every Friday morning at the Other Side for coffee (Molly gets whip) with her Daddy and a bunch of veterans and others. She loves every minute of it! Groups range from a few up to 20. I recommend A+ Dog Training every chance I get. I want everyone to enjoy being with their dogs as much as I do!!
