Not good with communications regarding evaluation fees ($40) for puppy classes. Hopefully they are better with training dogs.

I cannot say enough great things about Dog Lovers. My notoriously difficult to train frenchie puppy has been going to group classes and half-day drop offs with DLOS for several months, and her obedience is night and day. Daniel has also given me, as her owner, the tools to continue training at home (where the most important work happens). I can see the difference in my puppy with each class, and am so extremely proud of what both her and I have accomplished with the help of Daniel and Emily. We graduated beginner and are now moving through intermediate classes--something I never could have done without DLOS and its amazing approach to training. They know their stuff, and it works.

Daniel and Emily are amazing! They have so much patience and really help you understand the "why" behind training tools. Our puppy just graduated from Beginner Classes and we are so grateful for all the help Daniel provided us to ensure our pup has confidence. They are also great for Half-Day Drop-off classes if your pup needs additional help on certain lessons. We are now headed to Intermediate Classes and plan to continue working with Dog Lovers as our puppy grows/matures.

Thank you to Daniel and DLOS for the amazing job he is doing training my furbaby. She was a bit of a handful, but thanks to Daniel's expertise and insight into the dog and owner relationship, she’s becoming a well-behaved and obedient girl. We have done ½ day drop offs, working on specific issues, confidence building as well as basic commands, and they take them on field trips! She did e-collar board and train with Daniel, WOW, we got back a different girl! We are very pleased with her progress and about to start the intermediate class. If you're looking for a top-notch dog trainer in the area, look no further than Daniel and DLOS!

My service dog in training Ruthie and I graduated from beginner and intermediate classes with DLOS. Both Emily and Daniel were familiar with service dog training, and offered a balanced training approach, which is exactly what I was looking for. They offer a flexible schedule and both trainers complete continued education on a regular basis which is always good to see!
