Brought my 1.5 year old Shepherd here. I was pleased to know that it would be a 1 hour private lesson once a week. I went over what my dog already knew and what I want to work on. Each week we focused on one thing to do and then did those things at home. The trainer was nice and walked you through how to do it. My boy is better at place, off, drop it, and doing his nails. She has courses going to parks and to pet friendly stores to help your dog with distractions which I’ll be doing soon. Thank you!!

The #1 thing that I wanted help with was territorial barking. I asked over the phone and once again on the first day of class and she said "I sure can help with that" . the initial sign up requires you to check a box for training tier. I chose advanced class since I had already personally taught my dog all the basics. Every week was the same thing. Nothing but basic obedience, sit, stay, lay, shake etc. My dog already knew these things. Still went over them anyway. On class 3 I brought up the barking once again and she told me we could work on that next week. The 4th and final week I brought it up at the very start of the class and she said "a separate class will be needed to help with that, you can sign up for our Feb class to cover that". Well then. I paid $350 for my dog to learn nothing new. At the end of the 4th class, she was given a "basic obedience completion certificate" yet I checked the advanced box on day 1 and specifically asked for help on the territorial barking. I don't know what the other positive reviews are about but in my opinion, if you want your dog to learn something more than "sit" keep looking.
