I took my neutered male 1.4 year old golden doodle, Sailor, for two weeks of training and boarding. The dog who I picked up at the end of 2 weeks was a completely different dog in THE BEST WAY. I think everyone who is considering a dog obedience school for their dog should take their dogs here. They are so knowledgeable, nice, patient and friendly when you pick up your dog. This is my third dog but first one I sent to school. My other dogs were younger when I got them, but Sailor was already 9 months old. He was afraid of everything and stayed by my side too much because he was going to the bathroom in the house, afraid of his leash, and was biting or stealing clothes. They did an amazing job of socializing him and teaching him. I just booked a one day refresher course my short term memory loss did not help with keeping up with his training.

Our Lil Ben is a very headstrong Parsons Russell terrier. Diminutive? maybe. Strong and difficult? Yes. tRhis training center gave me a beaten down and thinner dog back. I honestly feel that whatever methods were used to “train” him, were not appropriate. I would not give a stellar review. Even the staff working there seemed unhappy and bullied.

Took a customer there to drop their dog off. It was a very, very nice place. It had a donkey, it had a goat and the dogs had plenty of room to play. The place was clean, well-cared-for seemed very loving..

Have nothing but issues with my dog since going here, she is on anxiety medication and afraid of everyone. She came home with shock marks on the top of all of her legs. Would never recommend them to anyone. Its been over a year since training and I still cant bring her around people with out her going into defense mode.
