I started bringing my dog Pumpkin a little over a year ago now. She was a covid puppy. Lacked confidence and honestly was scared of everything. Through the guidance of Susan and all their wonderful instructors, we have come so far! Pumpkin has blossomed through their training program. She's no longer the scared dog I brought into the beginners class. We love coming here!

We've been taking our pup Luna for training since she was 4 months old. It's been the best thing we've done for our dog. I wish I would have known about them with my other dogs. We have gone through puppy training, obedience one and two. We're now working on rally training which is so much fun. Susan and her staff are amazing. It's very affordable. The knowledge you get is life changing for you and your dog if you're willing to apply it.

Everyone here is very kind and encouraging. You can tell the staff members genuinely care about your dog and their progress. So far, I’ve participated in the puppy class and am currently in the beginners class. Both classes have had wide varieties of breeds and owners & I’ve seen improvements with all dogs participating in the classes. Even if you know the basics of dog training, the structure of the class schedules and training materials that are provided have been extremely helpful and we’ve learned even more than I expected. If you follow the instructions, you’ll have a well-behaved dog. The classes are a solid combination of instructional time, training demonstrations, and time to practice the commands with your dog. There is also time for Q&A and they’ll provide hands on assistance and demonstrations for any specific issues you may be having. The puppy class included all types of information, such as basic commands training, potty/crate training, first aid, safety tips, grooming, and overall basic manners. The beginners class has continued to build on my dog’s leash, command, and impulse control skills. It’s a fun time to bond with your dog. My dog looks forward to going inside as soon as he realizes we’re in the parking lot. The facility is clean, spacious, and there’s a fenced in outdoor potty area in the back for any as-needed breaks. Definitely recommend them to everyone!
The staff really knows dogs. It's reasonably priced too! We would have taken more lessons but we moved.
I have attended different classes with my dog for the past 3 yrs. Susan and her staff are always eager to encourage you & your dog to continue to grow in your partnership. Always willing to answer questions. I have started to compete with my dog with their help and encouragement.
