See Spot Run

There are not enough words to describe how grateful I am for these kind human beings. We started seeing See Spot Run in the fall of 2020. We adopted a dog that could uproot and drag my partner into the street if he thought he saw or heard a bicycle. We were in way over our heads. Ruth met with us once a week for about a year. We started taking group classes on zoom. When the world started opening up we got to go to go to in-person group classes. We started on the outskirts and have worked our way in. We are now playing musical chairs, participating in relay races, and comfortably hanging out with the rest of the class! Coralyn, Taylor, and Matt have taught our dog Charlie so many useful, silly, and practical skills! I usually know how to tell and what to do when he is triggered (or about to be). We have come so far! I have the journal entries to prove it! We keep taking classes because we love learning and See Spot Run makes it fun! An engaged dog is a happy dog. Charlie is never going to be the dog I can take to a coffee shop, but he is now the dog who can sit calmly next to me in a park and I love that for us.

I highly recommend See Spot Run. In particular, Coralyn has been an exceptional trainer and support system since I first adopted my dog -- a 1 year old Shepherd mix with a seemingly unlimited supply of energy and zero impulse control. Coralyn gave me the fundamentals to feel confident working with my dog in new situations and understanding how subtle changes (like when I was using my verbal marker or how I was moving my hands) could help my dog read me better. On more than one occasion, I walked into See Spot Run feeling overwhelmed and walked out with more confidence and a better relationship with my dog. From learning how to play with toys effectively to games to capture calm behavior, I can thank Coralyn for the tremendous change I've seen in Manchi in the last 6 months!

See Spot Run is absolutely fantastic. This was my first foray into dog ownership and all of the trainers and staff at See Spot Run are absolutely wonderful! Beyond being super knowledgeable, it is clear that they have a passion as well as a genuine love and appreciation for dogs. Macy has attended the board and train program, numerous classes and heads to day school on a weekly basis. She has made tremendous progress and is literally a dream dog. She is always excited for day school and her classes...thanks so much to the See Spot Run team for all that you do for pets and owners!

I cannot speak highly enough of See Spot Run and their incredible trainer, Coralyn. We started our journey with 1-on-1 training sessions to address my dog's anxiety, reactivity, loose leash walking, and over-excitement. Coralyn's expertise and dedication were evident from the start. The transformation in my dog's behavior has been remarkable, thanks to Coralyn's guidance. She provided both personalized 1-on-1 sessions and encouraged us to join group classes, even though I was initially nervous due to my dog's selectiveness with unfamiliar dogs. The setup for group classes at See Spot Run is fantastic; it allows for focused training while managing distractions and visibility of other dogs. What sets See Spot Run apart is their genuine care for your dog's success. We've been working with Coralyn for almost three years, and I wouldn't want to train with anyone else. Coralyn makes training enjoyable and shows you how to seamlessly incorporate it into everyday tasks. Whenever I have questions, Coralyn is always ready to help, breaking down solutions for both me and my dog. I wholeheartedly recommend See Spot Run to everyone seeking professional, caring, and effective dog training. Coralyn truly is the best!
