I want to thank Optimum Dog for working very hard to help my unruly Pomeranian puppy with biting and motion sickness issues. I was exhausted and looking at rehoming her I almost gave up. I called Optimum Dog and was placed in contact with Katelyn. We made arrangements for a consultation the next day. Katelyn was confident she could help her. The next day Katelyn picked my puppy up and took her for board and train. After only a few weeks my puppy came home crate trained completely free of motion sickness a miracle in itself ! Her biting issues are much improved and shows me respect and love I wasn't getting from her at all. I am very much encouraged and instead of looking to rehome her now I have some tools to work with her for our future. I am now looking forward to getting her into puppy classes with Optimum Dog. Now I understand the importance of training and it truly is worth every penny. Thank you so much Katelyn and Jenn and Optimum dog.

We had previously been working with a different trainer, but our 7 year old dog still had dog aggression. Due to a change in our living situation, we were at a crossroads where we either needed to stop the aggression or rehome him. Rehoming was really the last resort option I would consider, so I contacted several trainers and ultimately decided on Optimum Dog. Jen taught me and my dog an entire new method to dog training using electronics. She and her staff use modernized and much kinder methods for training, which my dog responded very well to. Before training with Optimum Dog, he didn't like the electronic collar. After, he has no problem with it and excited to get out and work. I can't say my dog is 100% "cured" of his dog aggression, but he is MUCH better (he's interest has switched to mostly playfulness) and I now have the tools to redirect him effectively without causing him more anxiety. I highly recommend Optimum Dog!

The facility was easy to find, super clean, and Jenn knows her stuff when it comes to shaping dogs. She's kind and firm with the dogs and they love her for it!

Jenn and her staff did an amazing job with my two pups. While on vacation she accomplished a great deal of obedience training, manners and place command work. I highly recommend. They will also train you how to work with your dogs moving forward.
