I highly recommend Supernova Dogs. We have taken classes with Noelle and her staff for years and have no complaints. We started with puppy class, obedience and now take agility. Noelle, the owner, is kind, organized and gives helpful advice. She is experienced with all dogs types (afraid vs reactive etc) and in class she really tailors her feedback to us and our dog. Take classes here, you will not be disappointed!
We loved our experience! We did the beginner obedience class and learned so much about how to properly train our dog. I now have the skills necessary to teach new things. I also loved that the trainer loved every animal that walked in, regardless of their behavior, size, or mannerisms. What a great place!!
Great place to take your dog and do agility !!!
The puppies unleashed class is the best hour of my week! Really great facilities and fantastic, friendly instructors. We’re learning excellent foundational skills, and I’m definitely being trained to bring out the best in my pup. Kim is a wonderful instructor and is wholeheartedly committed to fostering great relationships between dogs and their families.
