There simply aren't enough words to express how much I adore Franzi. When I found myself struggling to bridge the gap between my older dog, Perdita, and my new puppy, Diesel, I was desperate for guidance. I needed a way for them to coexist harmoniously. I reached out to a few dog training businesses, but none of them felt right. Then, Franzi's name came up, and from our very first phone call, I knew I was in capable hands. For the first time, I felt hopeful about our situation. Since meeting Franzi, she has been an absolute godsend. She equipped me with the essential tools to manage our unique household dynamics. Whenever I need advice, Franzi is there, always responsive and ready to help. We started with a package of in-home lessons. Diesel also started obedience classes, and he now enjoys regular daycare sessions. Thanks to Franzi's expertise, we've reached a point where Perdita and Diesel coexist peacefully—they’ve been living very happy lives together for over a year. I highly recommend Franzi for all your dog-related needs, whether they're big or small. Her dedication, responsiveness, and genuine love for animals make her an exceptional trainer. Franzi isn't just a trainer; she's become an integral part of the family.

Franzi and a Touch of Class Training are amazing. We've had our puppy Bruce in classes and daycare since he was 10 weeks old and he can now sit, stay, lay down, and heal when instructed. Franzi has a great attitude, is well informed about a dog's cognition. Bruce loves classes and we will continue to use A Touch of Class for Bruce's needs moving forward.

Franzi is an AMAZING dog trainer! I can’t say enough good things about the experience and transformation I’ve seen in my dog (and my home) since working with her one-on-one and group classes. She is highly experienced with challenging breeds and will teach you how to read your dog’s body language and understand their psychology. Most importantly she teaches the human how to navigate in all training sessions to ensure continued success at home. Franzi is extremely responsive if you ever need to talk to her via phone/text. She has helped me via text on multiple occasions where I had a few challenges with my dogs and she helped me through it. I started working with Franzi in early 2023 when I adopted an Akita puppy and soon learned that I needed some serious professional help. I originally adopted my puppy thinking I had plenty of experience since having Akitas for 15 years but it turned out I still needed A LOT of support. After going through Franzi’s basic and intermediate group training sessions, I learned so much and have seen my dog’s temperament improve after every single class and it helped build a bond with me and my puppy. My once fearful and reactive Akita, is now a confident dog who looks forward to car rides and her training classes! Overall I have seen a remarkable improvement in my dog by working with Franzi that I thought could never happen. I’m truly grateful and would recommend her to anyone I know!

The best trainer in the Lake county area! Franzi is an educated and highly experienced trainer who will teach both owner and dog the ways to proper doggie etiquette. She is reliable, knowledgeable, and most of all, fun to work with! She offers many different types of classes for your best convenience and will be there along side you until your pup has the proper manners they need.
