FirstBarkWe are loving training classes here! We have taken classes with Gina and really appreciate her individualized approach based on the dog. We have done private lessons with her as well, it has been transformative for our high energy Vizslas.

Our dog has a blast at The Dog Tank. He has learned the cues that indicate we’re heading there, and he becomes so excited. He is always disappointed when it is time to head home. The trainers are fantastic. Nora helped our dog learn to swim and dive. It has really boosted his confidence. He is so excited to see her. Steve did a great job teaching him to finally jump off the large dock. This is definitely our dog’s favorite place to go.
Steve was absolutely wonderful! My mini daschund is just learning about how she feels about the water and he was so patient with her. He shared tips with us on how to bring up her confidence. We will certainly be back in the future!

I’ve been coming here for about 6 months for Barn Hunt lessons and have yet to have a bad experience! I’ve taken the instinct class a couple times and the skills class with Tawnya/partner and Sara R! I’ve done a couple private lessons with Kristin P and those were my favorite experiences. You also get to rent the ring on your own which has been invaluable for practice. My girl has already gotten her RATO title since we started trailing in January. Thank you so much FLTOD team!
