Premier Dog Training

After searching online and taking recommendations from friends, I contacted Premier about their three-week board and train program for our bernedoodle puppy. When talking with them, they recommended their puppy orientation (which is more like a tailored training session to cover general information and whatever you specifically want to talk about), the cost of which goes towards the bootcamp, so you aren’t losing anything in taking the class. I was already going to proceed with the bootcamp, but after our session, I was even more excited for our pup to go. Jessi worked with our 14-week puppy for just about two hours, during which time she made huge strides in her “leave it” and in walking and jumping. Jessi gave me easy tips that I used the next day on a walk, and it was like a night and day experience in getting her to heel. I can’t wait for her to attend her bootcamp. Another huge perk to this location (and something I specifically wanted when searching for locations) is they also do general overnight boarding, where they will keep up her training. You can even leave notes about specific concerns if you did their bootcamp with them. They are also so so close to BWI, which is great for us in planning boarding. It’s also really not far from DC (just over 30 minutes) for anyone in the District!

Premier Dog Training was incredible with helping my reactive rescue dog. When we first got her, she growled, snarled and lunged at any dog that got too close to her. Taking her on walks and living in a dog friendly apartment was stressful. We enrolled her in the 3 week bootcamp with Conor as our trainer and it has made all the difference in the world. She’s a different dog; way more confident on walks, passes most dogs without reacting at all, and has her obedience commands down pat. A lot of people in our life can’t believe the improvement. I think this program with Premier specifically is a great value because they will do as many follow up sessions as necessary and will work on her training every time we board her. I wasn’t able to find any similar program with the same commitment as Premier. On top of that, the staff is absolutely lovely and knowledgeable about dogs. I can’t recommend this place enough!
