FirstBarkWhen I got my puppy I wanted to start training him immediately and after doing some research on dog schools, we went to Dog Lovers and am SO happy we did. We started our dog there at 9 weeks and he is now 2 and the training paid off immensely. I am forever grateful!

Emily is amazing!! Love the classes, and Pepper has improved a LOT over the last 4 classes! Worth every penny! Thank you Dog Lovers Obedience School!
Daniel is a wonderful trainer! We’ve been working with him for the past 7-8 months in a mixture of group classes, privates, half-days, and board & train sessions.

Daniel is a wonderful trainer! We’ve been working with him for the past 7-8 months in a mixture of group classes, privates, half-days, and board & train sessions. He is very caring and gentle with my dog, safety-minded, and really strives to find the best training methods for us. He’s really helped build my dog’s confidence and lessened his reactivity. I’ve learned so much from him and that has built my own confidence in leading my dog and being comfortable taking him places with me. My pup has also done regular boarding with both Daniel and Emily. I never have any worries while I’m away.
The trainer was wonderful and my dog behaved better than I could have imagined.

Daniel came to our home after I called, fairly desperately, because mt little Shih Tzu wouldn’t eat or drink out of her bowls. She was afraid to approach them. Within an hour, she was eating cheese out of her bowl. After 4 visits, her behavior has changed because of Daniel’s teaching and our being more consistent with reinforcement. Call Daniel if you have any problem with your dog’s behavior. He is wonderful!
