This is now the Thomas Training Center. Best dog trainer in the area! What an amazing place this is. My dog had fear aggression, and Terese took on my barky boy. Night and day difference from where I was in his training to where he is now. I couldnt be happier. I will keep bringing my dog back here, and having the center keep up on his training and help me better understand my dog, and how I can be the best for him. If you're looking for sure fired results, bring your dog here. There is a 3 week (possibly 4 if your dog was like mine) barky boy bootcamp, or you can do hour long or so classes every week. Either way check this out!

This is Sherry Linker’s niece, I’ve been training dogs with Sherry since I was 15, and coming to the building for longer. Last year I took over the business bought the building and changed the name BACK to Thomas Training Center. I was around training dogs while Alexandra Ross was here and saw first hand why Sherry did not pass the business on to her. Nor why when taken in legally to court the courts decided in Sherry’s favor. I would have to come in and “fix” every dog Alex touched to make sure she was sending home well trained and “HAPPY” dogs. Alex did do some very underhanded things when Sherry gave her the final (I can’t pass my life long work to you) after several warnings and re explaining on how to properly train and care for a business. I won’t get into detail, but even going on business pages of MINE now and writing reviews like this has made new clients question our business and reputation. However! All of our old clients know better and get on setting the record straight. So I thank you Kristina Allen for doing the same. Alex was NOT a customer, just a disgruntled employee who not only decided to steal from Sherry when gone, but try to discredit her over 40 years of Sherry’s successful life’s work. Takes a special kind of person to do that. Krystal was ANOTHER disgruntled employee that stole money from Sherry while here and once again through courts lost. They both are trying to discredit over 40 years of Sherry Linker’s work. Also, coincidentally the only other negative comment was from a coustomer that Alex trained their dog. So disheartened to see that, however not surprising as like I said above, I started coming in and “fixing” all the dogs she touched. Long story short. The negative reviews here are only two disgruntled employees, and unfortunately a coustomer who had Alex at the time as their trainer. All our old clients know Sherry and myself very well! And still share their great stories of our training here at the center. Thomas Training Center and Sherry’s Circle Concept Training method lives on for many many more years! And we have many happy and satisfied customers daily! We will continue to bring happy homes to families and their fur babies for many more years to come ❤️ Thank you all for your love and support and being a part of the Thomas Training Center (formally Linker Learning center for dogs) find us on Facebook @ Thomas Training Center and see our many “Pupdates” and happy coustomers!

SHERRY LINKER is a fraud, and a thief. She is very inhumane to the dogs while they are in her care, and the dogs see little to no daylight during their "private trains" They stay in a stuffy, dark, rotting kennel area. Which only method of sanitation is EXTREME use of harmful bleach thrown EVERYWHERE in the kennel and hardly rinsed (ITS EYE WATERING) poor dogs!! She puts minimal effort into her "train dogs" and therefore is excessively brutal to them when they aren't where they should be in their training. She is unprofessional and has shown up to a lesson DRUNK AND HIGH ON PILLS- couldn't even stand! All that matters to this woman is your money!!! NOT YOUR PETS! OWNERS BEWARE Sherry Linker has also ripped off MULTIPLE people with the SCAM of "buying her business off from her due to deteriorating health" She has stolen THOUSANDS of dollars from "potential buyers". She "trains" these people and makes them believe that after their "training" they will be able to purchase her building. After taking OVER 65% of their incomes for YEARS of "training" to put it "aside". She then takes their 5,000+ deposit on the building and kicks them out! NON REFUNDABLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MULTIPLE PEOPLE. DO NOT TRUST THIS WOMEN SHE IS MENTALLY UNSTABLE.

This woman will take a 5000 dollar check from you to run her business, not train you then take 65% of everything you make. I wasnt able to see myself making enough money to get a loan to buy so i tried to get my deposit back and she said it was non refundable. I'm not rich and that money i will have to make payments on because my husband graciously pulled off his card for me. Don't do business with her,. She is as shady as they come and had an endless amount of excuses to avoid her resposibilities.
