Wonderful experience overall. Our dog Charley was experiencing issues with resource guarding so we booked a 3 week stay and she worked with Emily who was fantastic with her! Not only did she help her with the resource guarding issue, she also worked with her on basic commands and jumping as well. Highly recommend!

KATE WAS AMAZING!! We trusted her with both of our pups and we are so freaking impressed. Not only does she do a fabulous job with training, but the update photos and videos were our favorite. I’ve never left a review for any company before, but I had to for Kate and precision we are so happy!

What an amazing experience! Madi and the rest of team at Precision were outstanding to work with, and their training lessons made a huge difference with my dog's behavior and confidence. I learned so much along the journey as well! Madi was very patient and accommodating to my dog's needs, and the results are seen every day. Thank you so much and we can't wait to see you all again!

Precision Dog Training Academy — and especially Emily — completely changed the trajectory for Buddy, our sweet (and formerly misunderstood) failed foster turned forever dog. Before he came to us, Buddy had already been through his third and fourth homes. His first owner didn’t want him anymore and literally posted on Facebook Marketplace saying, “He’s in the shed, pick him up when you want to.” His second family gave him up because he had “too much energy” — he was a puppy, for crying out loud. By the time he reached his foster homes, he’d been grabbed by the collar during stressful moments, and no one realized he had a broken tooth causing him enormous pain. Being handled around his head and neck only intensified that pain, and his reactions were misunderstood as aggression. A vet finally discovered the broken tooth while Buddy was under anesthesia for his neuter surgery — and once that injury was addressed, his whole world opened up. Emily saw past the labels and past the assumptions. She did everything in her power to identify what might be triggering the reported “bites,” and she found nothing that indicated true aggression. Instead, she treated Buddy with patience, clarity, and genuine care. Emily treated Buddy like the dog he actually is: smart, sensitive, eager to please, and full of love. She helped him build confidence, learn multiple commands, and finally feel safe and understood in a way he hadn’t experienced in any of his previous environments. Because of her teaching him clear commands, Buddy responds beautifully to structure. Today, Buddy is a total cuddle bug who melts into your lap and wants nothing more than to be close to his people. I honestly can’t get enough of this dog. If you’re looking for trainers who see the whole dog — not just the behavior — this is the place.
