The biggest problem with ahimsa is that they are not adaptable. They believe every dog is the same and it's their way or the highway. There are many better training options in Seattle for a much better price - places where they will treat your dog as an individual. Places where they will treat both owners and dogs with respect, unlike ahimsa. We worked with them and their philosophy for a year and immediately got results once we gave up on forcing the ahimsa method on our pup. He's progressed miles beyond what I think ahimsa is capable of. I regret all of the time and money I wasted at ahimsa. Consider other options and avoid this "bougie" place that thinks they're the best in the city.
At puppy Kindergarten, they're very accommodating of dogs of all behaviors! Our shy puppy has a very safe and low-pressure environment to socialize with other puppies, gets great excellent training onsite, and I feel much more capable of teaching our girl at home too! Feels like a must-have experience for all Seattle area puppies.
We took our puppy here for puppy kindergarten and puppy play time and will consider more advanced classes in the future as she grows :) Knowledgeable instructors who will work with you and answer any questions, and great to have a set aside time to work on training your dog.
We’ve gone to Ahimsa for puppy Kindergarten, Elementary School, Jr High, and puppy playtime. They’ve helped us to build a strong connection with our dog, and I like that they focus on positive reinforcement. I’m sure we will be back!
