Ethan and Madi are so understanding and have helped me with learning how to use and stick to the training methods to make sure my Hero transitions to home life with me. Accepting the fact that I needed extra help with Hero's reactive nature came when I was taken for a drag and landed in the hospital with a broken femur. We've been able to take longer walks and go to the dog park where Hero can have a great time.
Madi was great with Hero and I couldn't be more grateful for Precision Dog Training Academy for providing the help we needed. Hero's so smart and loved by so many. It's nice to be able to walk with him and not fear being pulled down.

We were going to need to re-home our girl Poppy! She was a mess, with biting, mouthing, jumping up on people, counters and table. Unfortunately we did not enjoy her at all!!
Got her and us signed up for classes and knew after the second class we needed her to be in the 3 week board & train. They absolutely did not push this on us and were willing to continue our classes but we knew we needed consistency with her training and we were not able to provide at this time
Madi did an amazing job with Poppy!!
We’re actually excited to have her back and are reaping the rewards that Madi and staff applied to Poppy! We continue to train her with the tools we were given and can reach out to Precision as needed. Poppy is now a pleasure to be around and we Love her so much!
Thank you Madi and All at Precision who helped us Love Poppy again and be able to keep her with us💚

highly recommend Precision Dog training! Specifically because of Madison. She is an incredible trainer who rises to the passion no matter the dog, challenge, or problem at hand. It doesn't matter if it's basic obedience, difficult behaviors, or any type of training needs. She approaches every situation with patience, knowledge, and dedication.
What stands out the most is her love and care she has for her own two dogs. Seeing there obedience, behavior, and bond she has with them says everything you need to know about who she is as a trainer.
She is also such a joy to work with. Her positive attitude and passion make the entire process enjoyable. If your looking for someone who genuinely cares and will go above and beyond for both you and your dog, I absolutely recommend her!

Choosing a training program for a high-energy dog can feel like a gamble, but Precision Dog Training Academy truly delivered. Our one-year-old Golden Retriever, June, started as a whirlwind of uncontrolled energy, but she has emerged as a much more focused and manageable pup.
While she still has that signature puppy enthusiasm, she now possesses the self-control and obedience foundation she was previously lacking. The transformation in her behavior is a testament to the effectiveness of the program here. Our trainer, Kate, was phenomenal. She didn't just teach commands; she built a genuine, trusting relationship with June that made the learning process seamless. The transition from "out of control" to "controlled energy" is exactly what we were hoping for. June now listens reliably even when she’s excited.
If you are looking for a place that respects your dog’s personality while instilling necessary boundaries, I cannot recommend Precision Dog Training Academy and Kate enough!

Prior to working with Madi, my dog Farley had already gone through both puppy classes at Precision, but we still needed some extra help with a few behaviors. Walks had become really stressful; he would pull me around, almost rip my arm out of its socket chasing after anything that moved, and it honestly wasn’t enjoyable anymore. He would also jump all over guests and my boyfriend at home anytime they came over or walked through the door.
After just 5 private lessons with Madi, Farley is a complete 180° from where we started. He now walks right at my side without pulling and is so much calmer and easier to manage. Instead of jumping on people, he now knows to lay down thanks to the training and guidance we received.
Going on walks and having guests over is actually enjoyable now. Madi was amazing to work with, and I cannot thank her enough for giving me the tools and confidence to make Farley such a more manageable and well-behaved dog. Highly recommend her to anyone needing extra help with their pup!
