Dog Lovers Obedience School

I have been bringing my pup, Leo, to Dog Lovers from inception. I could not have made a better choice. Emily and her team are phenomenal. I joke and say, “They trained me and the dog.” It’s a lifestyle they offer, similar to parenting. Leo has used several offerings, including therapy dog course, half day, and boarding. He absolutely loves Dog Lovers and will let Emily do tasks no one else can do successfully, such as cut his nails. My dog is well behaved and my family jokes that Leo went to college. Everyone compliments his behavior. Dog Lovers is a one stop shop for training, grooming, boarding, private classes, and even social outings. They’re also great at dog photography! I trust them with Leo’s life and do not go anywhere else. You won’t be disappointed!

I came to DLOS in January with my 13 week old puppy Lucy for a new client orientation. We started group puppy classes the following weekend, moved to beginner in March, and just graduated intermediate at the end of June! Lucy started going to half days once a week in mid February which made all the difference. She would come home a completely different puppy having mastered yet another skill. Every week she would sit by the door (not so patiently) waiting to go to school and see her favorite people. She even spent a week with Emily in April while I had a business trip doing a board and train. I can’t tell you how much relief I felt leaving her for the first time knowing she was in the best care. DLOS has easily been the best investment I could have made for Lucy. People would always compliment us on how beautiful she is (and they still do), but now they compliment us on how well behaved she is. I recommend Dog Lovers to everyone I know!

I put Finn through Emily’s puppy starter program and let me say, it is SO worth the investment. Finn was gone for 4 weeks and he came back crate trained, potty trained, knew basic commands, was socialized. Finn is my first dog and finding Emily was the best thing that could have happened to Finn and I. Continuing in Emily’s training courses has made it easy for me to take Finn just about everywhere I go, from patios, to farmers markets, to just everyday shopping! Her staff is also amazing! Finn absolutely loves Jess! If you are on the fence about it, just do it! It’s 100% worth the investment!
