So far, my experience has mainly been with Gus (consultation for my Newfie for stay and train 25 day program). He is so friendly and helpful and gives ease for the kind of care that Sig will get while he is there. The only thing I have to say so far is that when I was in my car ( dog was in the very back), and a trainer (not sure who) walked passed the back of my vehicle and adter my dog barked, she barked back at him. Considering this is a training point and hardly ever encouraged for household pets, I was super thrown off by this. I am hopeful that Gus will give Sig the love and care he needs, while helping his achieve his full potential with good listening. Will update my review after our newfie is done with the program!

I can’t say enough good things about Optimum. I was a first time German Shepard owner. My dog was 4 mos. when I got her and very sick. It took 3 months to get her healthy enough to be around other dogs for training. At 7 months, with very little training, she was a monster. I needed help!! She needed behavior modification training in addition to obedience training. Zach met with me for the initial training and I was immediately put at ease. My little monster was listening to him and responding. I enrolled her in the 6 week program. She worked with all the staff during that time. Jenn has amazing staff! The staff worked to build her confidence as well as her skills. I honestly don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t heard about this place. I continue to take my dog there for spot trainings and group trainings. One of the best parts is they train me to be a better dog owner. I have learned skills and have increased my own confidence when I am with her. I am so grateful for this place!
