What people have asked about this business.

Hi. Ripley (1yr) and I have gone through the training, but I have a problem we never addressed in the training. Children. I don't have any, or any family with them, and Ripley is afraid of them. I can see this will be a huge factor in our lives.

As you mentioned in your review (thank you for the nice review, by the way), we recommended that you expose Ripley to children when we was still very young. You also mentioned in your review that you didn't "pay enough attention" to that area of training, and Ripley is now afraid of children. The reason he is afraid is because he is not used to them. There are several techniques we use to help dogs get over fears, some of which are too complicated to describe in the limited space allowed here. That said, you should first employ some desensitizing techniques to help him get used to the simple presence of children. Do you remember how we used the Heel drill to teach him to stay focused on a task in the face of distraction? Apply that same concept, initially at a distance at which he notices them, but is not reacting to them. Move gradually closer over time as you see him getting used them as indicated by him paying less attention to their presence. Call us so we can chat directly.

Question on Google
Do you have a dog play together class for older than puppies? My dog is 5 and very friendly.

Thank you for your inquiry. Although we do hold Socialization Sessions from time to time, our focus is on teaching, so these sessions are positioned in the context of helping dogs learn how to be social with other dogs. It sounds like your dog is already social. Perhaps you should consider going to a dog park or, if you're not comfortable with that, contacting a company that does boarding, as boarding facilities often provide play-date type services. If you have any other questions, please contact us directly.

Everyone warned me that my rescued (abandoned in dog park) Australian Shepherd pup would become too-much-to-handle without professional training. Read books, watched videos, and thought I could self-train Clara. After a bit I decided I wanted assured success for long years of happiness. We're now halfway through our 6-phase training, and I'm SO GLAD to have paid the price, both financially and time-wise. Yes, I'm getting trained too! 😆 Kelvin is GREAT to work with.

Exceptional Dog Training Experience I recently had the pleasure of enrolling my furry friend in a dog training program that left me utterly impressed and thoroughly satisfied. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of excellent, and the results exceeded my expectations in every way. Kathy and her brother, Kelvin are amazing! Upon entering the training facility, I was greeted by a team of passionate and knowledgeable trainers who displayed a genuine love for dogs. Their professionalism and dedication were evident right from the beginning, and it instantly put me at ease. They took the time to understand my dog's individual personality, behavioral challenges, and my training goals. I worked mostly with Kathy for all my training sessions. The training curriculum itself was exceptionally well-structured. Kathy employed a combination of positive reinforcement techniques, interactive exercises, and real-life simulations to teach my dog essential obedience commands and address specific behavior issues. What stood out to me was her ability to tailor the training to my dog's unique needs, ensuring a personalized approach that maximized his learning potential. The progress I witnessed in my dog was nothing short of astounding. Week after week, I saw remarkable improvements in his behavior, responsiveness to commands, and overall demeanor. Kathy was patient and encouraging, consistently offering constructive feedback and guidance to both me and my dog. Another noteworthy aspect was the emphasis on consistency and follow-through. Kathy provided comprehensive training materials and resources, making it easy for me to continue practicing and reinforcing the lessons at home. This commitment to empowering dog owners with the knowledge and tools necessary for long-term success truly set this training program apart. The results speak for themselves. My once unruly and stubborn pup has transformed into a well-behaved and confident companion. The skills he acquired during the training not only make our daily interactions more enjoyable but also contribute to his safety and well-being. In conclusion, the dog training program I experienced was nothing short of exceptional. The trainers' expertise, dedication, and personalized approach created an environment where both dogs and their owners thrive. If you're looking for a training program that goes above and beyond to deliver outstanding results, I wholeheartedly recommend giving this team a try. My dog and I are immensely grateful for the invaluable skills and positive experience we gained.

We just finished our 6 lesson session for our 2 yr old goldie with Kathy and we are so grateful for her help. She was very educational about what we were learning and the tools she recommended. Don't judge before you learn about the why and how!!! 10/10 would recommend her! Also, as many of the other reviews have said, you get what you put into it. The work is absolutely worth it!

Kelvin is Incredible with understanding the psychology of dogs and is a master trainer. Couldn't be happier to have found him. We could see the difference in our one year old rescue puppy after first lesson. Can't wait to complete his 6-session program.
