We trained our dog here 11 years ago and it was the best decision we made. It has made all the difference in having a well trained, obedient dog. When I've met neighbors walking their unruly pumps, or should I say being walked by the dog, I've always suggested that they consider Dog Lovers Obedience School and tell the how it has helped us. Ownership has changed since the original owners retired, but the new owners have kept the praise based training. Recommend the basic obedience class. Other services are offered but a bit on the expensive side.

Emily and Team are results-oriented and very knowledgeable about dog behavior. In the few months I have been working with them, I am so much better equipped to handle my dogs successfully, or at least not to let anything get too far off the rails, and DLOS is always there when needed! The process has been fun and positive. Congrats on 10 years! Thanks for all you do for us and our canines!

We’ve used Dog Lovers for both of our dogs for group and private lessons and have been very happy. Emily and her team are professional and extremely knowledgeable. The group lessons are helpful for both the dogs and their humans! We have recommended to several friends over the years and will continue to do so. Great experience!!

I am training my 5th dog with Dog Lovers over the course of 23 years. Emily, Daniel and Mary and wonderful trainers and are firm, reasonable and make training fun. The dogs truly enjoy watching their owners figure out canine communication, make time to practice, and feel proud when their pups shine! I can't say enough about this school.

Don’t waste your time on the group puppy classes. We wasted so many weeks trying to get our puppy to behave with minimal guidance and help. Invest in Off Leash K9 Training instead. Our dog is amazing now!
