My dog, Clark, just graduated from the Family Dog Basics class. We LOVED the instructor, Kimberly. Clark is shy around people, but he became comfortable greeting Kimberly after the first class. She made the skills easy to learn and also sent lots of resources to use at home. I have seen his confidence build and his focus in stressful situations increase. I am very thankful that this class helped me and Clark. We look forward to attending more classes here!

My dog and I have completed several different classes, both obedience/behavior and agility, with Supernova. This is such a wonderful place to work and grow with your dog! Every trainer is very qualified and really excellent at what they do. The facility is large and nice. I look forward to taking my dog to class every week, it is fun for both of us and has not only improved his training and my handling, but also our bond. Right now we are having a great time doing agility classes, and we plan to continue moving up! I can't recommend Supernova enough.
