Great experience with training our golden doodle puppy. Helena took the time to make sure you knew the "why" behind the training and we learned a lot. She was also very accommodating and respectful, and we highly recommend her services.

About Dogs Got Class® Dog Training
I am a Certified Dog Trainer, serving RI and MA. Harm free, treat-based training method is followed. No E-Collars, choke or prong collars used. Training sessions are private and in your home to start. We move outdoors, using locations that will help strengthen your dog's good manners when they see other dogs, meet new people and see and hear unfamiliar sights and sounds. Loose leash walking and no jumping are popular training requests. Families learn to teach their dogs new behaviors to take the place of the unwanted ones. I am available to my clients between session to help trouble shoot if difficulties with homework or new behaviors arise. Let's get started!

That's my previously disobedient pup - the yellow one in the red bandana - in one of the photos on the website. Phyllis sits and stays really well now due to Helena's expertise and training. Helena is a patient, knowledgeable teacher. She teaches you to handle your dog. She has experience with bully breeds, puppies, adults. Nothing seems to faze her and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

We have been training our dog Enzo with Helena since we brought him home as a puppy, and she has helped with every phase of his 2 years. We worked on basic puppy skills and manners and did some troubleshooting with some early fears he had (stairs were his kryptonite). Her style is 100% positive and she is a great teacher of dog behavior and psychology. Understanding what's going on in Enzo's head makes his actions make much more sense! These days we are working on preparing Enzo for a (human) baby brother - we're working on better leash skills around the stroller, staying calm around people and dogs on walks, and his manners around the house. Helena is great to work with because she is so available for pop in visits between sessions or quick phone calls about questions that pop up about your dog's behavior or how training is going between sessions. And Enzo just adores "the cheese lady!"

I wish there was more than 5 stars to give Helena! I absolutely 100% recommend anyone who has a dog to hire her. I worked with her from when my puppy was 10 weeks old to now he’s a year and a half and I can not stress how important she was in my dog, Larrys, development. Not only did she help train my dog, but more importantly she trained me to be the best dog dad I can be to Larry. Everywhere I take Larry I get complimented on what a well behaved dog I have and I owe it all to her. Also, her training goes beyond just me and my dog. Seeing how well behaved he is when he’s around my parents and family warms my heart and has brought our family closer together because of it!! I can not begin to describe how thankful I am of Helena for helping me raise my best friend and I highly recommend anyone who has a dog to work with her!!
My partner and I love this place amazing trainers that put love into dog training.
