What people have asked about this business.

We recently purchased a Goldendoodle who is 8 weeks old. At what age and how soon should we begin a training program?

Check their website. They have a puppy class.

I would check with the school and see if they have openings. And what requirements your puppy needs for class. I know I needed a long leash. And I enjoyed puppy class my puppy got his certificate after we finished school. Awesome instructors.

We had the most horrid "trainer" for my pup's first class. She put a prong collar on him because he was "too distracted" and essentially tried to hang him with it. This is a very gentle dog. He peed all over as she was yanking him around and our entire class just stood there in shock. We left and never went back. Also, he is terrified of his groomer at the spa. I mean shaking and crying terrified. I finally realized- he is afraid of HER not just going to the groomer. He has seen other groomers and never behaved that way. I've met plenty of friendly people over there, but if you do training PLEASE make sure you don't let one of their trainers put a prong collar on a normal dog. Prong collars are for RED ZONE dogs only. These guys have a reputation for "old school" methods, i.e.- punishment training instead of positive reinforcement. There must be some trainers who don't use the "Good, now he knows he can die, so he understands who is in charge." [yes, she said that] method. I'm only giving 2 stars because the groomer did a good job every time, but he was terrified of her.

Puppy class has been great! We learned a few things and got great advice! Highly recommend!

Instructors are very knowledgeable and friendly. Managment and classes are flexible. Classes offer knowledge for the dog and the owner, because sometimes we need the training more than the dog does!

We’ve taken multiple dogs here. Including spending a few months when I lived out of state. They do a fantastic job. We love them.
