K9 Nutt Dog Training

Dottie has an understanding of dogs and dog behavior better than anyone I have ever seen. Because of this she is able to change your dogs bad behavior very quickly and efficiently! But, most importantly, she makes sure you understand how to train your dog the correct way. Everyone is so impressed when we are walking our dog, how well he listens. Dottie is an absolute pleasure to work with. I have referred her to MANY people and they all love the results!

Dottie was recommended to me by my son whose two Dobermans were the most well-mannered dogs I had ever seen. Even before adopting my Mini Schnauzer puppy, I had watched hours of credible training videos during Covid 19 lockdown and I thought I was doing a fairly good job with her on basic commands. After she was fully vaccinated, I was hoping to get into a class situation so she would have some socialization opportunities. My son pretty much insisted I work with Dottie, so I called. I knew immediately that Dottie was serious and committed to families who were equally serious about having a well-mannered pet. Her fees reflect that high level of service, and that is what I received after the first one-on-one meeting at my home. Three private lessons are required before enrolling in her group lessons. I respect how Dottie wants to know each pet and owner before group lessons in order to provide a safe environment with consistent and rapid progress. Dottie helped me “unlearn” some of the not so helpful movements and words I had been using during the early video training and took great care to explain why she uses specific words and actions with the dog. She is strict but always with great care to be positive and consistently kind toward owner and puppy. I highly recommend her.
