FirstBarkWow, this experience was so much more than I thought it would be. I had so much fun. They keep it relaxed and have auch a deep understanding of animal behavior. I look forward to my next set of classes.

DITR is amazing. The focus is on positive, force free training. The trainers are knowledgeable and patient. Training will always be a process where you get out of it what you put in, but DITR will give you all the tools needed to shape your furry friend into a happy and prosperous member of your family.
Excellent, no fear dog training here from puppy to advanced. The owner, Carol, and all the instructors we learned from were gentle, patient and a wealth of information. Highly recommended for your pup!
Nice people and good training
A little pricey, but they do such a great job! We loved working with them and the guidance they gave was helpful and useful. I love their focus on training the people as much as training the dogs!
