Brookside Walk + Train

We chose to work with Dinyee when our lab Samson was a young pup. We can't say enough about what a great decision this was. Having had a rather rambunctious and hard to train pup in the past I didn't want that experience again. For safety sake, I needed to know that anyone could walk our dog and that our dog would come when called. This was my goal in training but the outcome was so much more than I could have hoped for. Our large and strong, 80-pound lab is a model of good behavior. He knows when it is playtime and he understands when it is business. He is a pleasure to be with and a happy and content doggo. It may sound silly but I take great pride in the many compliments he earns from folks on our walks. Training your dog is a serious commitment but the work you put in is so very worthwhile. Brookside Walk & Train is both skilled and professional, I highly recommend!

As a first time dog owner, I didn't know what I didn't know about dog behavior and being a good pack leader. Luckily, two friends recommended Brookside & Dinyee when I adopted my rescue. Dinyee invested time, effort and care both in my dog and me. She's always looking out for his best interest. She taught me how to create structure, work through his difficult separation anxiety issues and ultimately give him a happy life! Most importantly, I know that she is on our side. When I'm frustrated with myself, she reminds me how far we've come and helps me refocus. During COVID, they've adapt their offerings to meet clients' needs, with a heavy emphasis on keeping their staff and clients safe & healthy. Lastly, Rubbie is a fantastic handler and kind person. Whenever we need to board my dog, I am overjoyed that he is in Rubbie's expert and caring hands. My dog always comes home happy and so well behaved! I can't recommend Brookside enough and trust them 100%!

Dinyee and the Brookside team are great and they really know how to work with your pup and their behavioral needs. When Penelope (mini Bernedoodle) and I first came to Brookside, she was a crazed hyperactive dog, but now I have a much calmer pup. When Penny and I first walked into the Brookside facility I saw the other dogs sitting patiently and thought, “That will NEVER be Penny!” But a couple months later and Penny was one of those dogs, sitting patiently and calmly! I’m so proud of Penny and everything she has learned from Dinyee. Every time you pick up your pup at the end of the day Dinyee takes the time to talk you through what your pup worked on and where they are in their training. The final “human training” classes after were extremely helpful to drive home what Penny had learned. Now I have the structure that I need to continue Penny’s training for the upcoming months and into the future.

I've been using Brookside Walk and Train for over six years. My dog, Bailey, started in Dinyee's puppy training program and has been going on group walks ever since. When Bailey was young, he had anxiety issues that were overwhelming to the both of us. Not only did Dinyee teach him basic obedience, duration work, and e-collar training; she taught me exercises to work through his anxiety and how to best advocate for my dog. As a result, Bailey is now much more confident, clear headed, and balanced. Dinyee is knowledgable, observant, patient, and kind. I wouldn't trust my dog with anyone but Dinyee and Brookside Walk and Train.
