My puppy, now 5 months, just completed the Bronze class sessions.
Holly is knowledgeable, a clear communicator, and the class sessions are structured well. I was in a group class of five, and Holly did a great job coupling instruction for all with individual attention. She was responsive to any questions, and had great ideas for helping with any problems. She clearly has a keen sense of puppy behavior and enjoys what she is doing. I am continuing on for the Silver training and would recommend her classes.

I would not hesitate to recommend Holly at Furry Tail Dog Training to anyone needing guidance with their fur babies. Her rates are very reasonable as well.

I highly recommend Furry Tail Dog Training. For my older dog 8 years ago I used a pet store training program and the experience is night and day between the two. Holly clearly shows you each step of a command and always takes the time to ask you if you understand and/or have any questions for her. She is really good at explaining a dog’s mentality when it comes to the importance of doing each step of a command. Before I never thought of the psychological aspect of training a dog. Holly is always friendly, punctual, and communicated well whether it is emails or texts. 5/5 stars!

I highly recommend training here! We recently completed the Bronze training program. Overall we are happy with the process and it has been extremely effective for our Pitbull mix puppy. Holly is easy to communicate with and has helped us learn so much. We look forward to completing the Silver training program.
