North Fork School for Dogs

Finding North Fork, specifically Dawn, was such a blessing for us. We have a 9 month old miniature Goldendoodle (Lucy) that is extremely hyper and loves everybody and everything. She gets so excited when visitors come and jumps on them incessantly. Dawn was wonderful, showing me and Lucy some tricks of the trade in order to keep her calmer when we have guests. She gave us plenty of information through handouts so that we can reference them as needed. During the process with Lucy, we got Ricky, a 12 week old miniature Labradoodle. Dawn also showed me some cues to do with Ricky in order to begin to get him focused and ready for training when he is old enough. I would highly recommend North Fork, specifically Dawn, as she has patience, love and immense knowledge and really knows how to train. Training begins with the owner, she taught me that as well. Thank you, Dawn. I am glad you decided to make Sarasota one of your homes.

We did both group and private sessions with both Asha and Dawn. The progress Lili has made is incredible. She is a fearful dog, but so many of our issues have been addressed. She no longer pulls me over when a squirrel appears and she is learning to sit when people come into the house. Reaction to other dogs still needs work but I was unable to be consistent due to my elderly mother's needs. I can't wait to resume the training when spring comes. If it had not been for Dawn and Asha, I think I would have had to return Lili to the shelter. We love her dearly but at our ages, we needed help and it was given lovingly and consistently. Thank you so much.

Our 10 month old Bouiver had decided that he had enough with listening to Mom & Dad. After about a week of thinking he was just having "a moment" we decided to seek the wisdom of Asha at the North Fork Dog School for Dogs. This was the best decision we have ever made! After only a few private lessons we were all able to get back on the same team and have a happier puppy! The training methods she uses are positive and effective. I would recommend this school to anyone who is looking to build a better understanding on how to live relevantly in their dogs lives! Thanks so much!!!!
