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.

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.

I had tried setting up an evaluation for my dog to get training as a service dog, I was very interested in obtaining their service, however, after asking if they provided a payment type plan, I got impression that they were only in it for the money, as they stated that they would required the full amount up front. Very disappointing. With people who required the use of a service dog, and not have the resource or tools available to them, and seek aid from a professional but find out they won't work with them is a shame.

Calvin and Kathy are both phenomenal and very competant trainers. I have a dog with certain stubborn tendencies, which they've helped me to mitigate or make more manageable. I can not recommend anyone more highly, if your looking for good trainers who are knowledgeable and patient make sure to check them out!!!

I have worked with Calvin and Kathy a couple times now and they have become two of my favorite dog trainers! They are very good at what they do and their love of the work and the dogs is always evident. While making classes fun, they also manage to keep everything very professional. I would highly recommend them if you have any dog training needs, or even any questions about your dog or training in general.

The gentleman who called me back was extremely rude and said that every task that I mentioned was unrealistic and that since I seem to know what I want keep doing my own research and figure it out myself or go find someone else. I asked him why he felt the need to speak to me the way he was he said he has enough business and doesn't need my business so he doesn't care. Very negative person and has zero faith in his own abilities and the abilities of the dogs and breeds who have successfully been trained as a service dog for years and years. Because apparently they are in capable of even simple tasks in his eyes.
