FirstBarkWe have a 5 year old Bernadoodle that constantly pulled and barked. She came back a different dog! Dennis and Debbie are so knowledgeable and helpful. If you are wondering if this is worth the money like I was, do not hesitate! My only regret was not doing sooner!

We have had Odin back for exactly one week now and the difference after those few weeks he was away has been night and day. Walks are now 10x easier, and he also listens immediately when we say commands. Everyone at The Dog Knowledge is very nice, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with. Bringing Odin there was the best thing we could have done for him and us.

I dropped my dog Murphy off and immediately the staff helped get him comfortable and settled. He went off, no problem with the trainers, and very happy (also slightly broke my heart how comfortable he was leaving me lol). They were amazing at sending updates, posting on social media, and any questions were responded too timely. The graduation process was INCREDIBLE. Dennis especially was very detail oriented and the trainers stayed with us all as long as we needed ensuring we understood every command and how to address different situations back home. There’s a follow up session as well, in home - same phenomenal experience. It truly is one of the best investments I’ve made.

Our Penny girl is finally home after 4 weeks of training at The Dog Knowledge! My husband has never been a "dog person" but knew being with me, dogs would always be a part of our family. We lost our Boston terrier in May 2023 and never felt ready for a new puppy. In July 2024 Penny fell into our lap. As with any puppy, she's full of energy, plays hard, jumps, and does what she wants. Four weeks at The Dog Knowledge has transformed our girl! My husband is seriously mind blown. She's much calmer, follows commands, and more well behaved around my 3 and 4 year old. I no longer worry she'll knock my 89 year old Mimi over. Obviously a huge part of training is continuing the training at home but we're so impressed we're 100% committed! 10000% would recommend Dennis and the crew at The Dog Knowledge!!!! Below is Penny fully embracing the chaos in her "place" at our house :)

We brought our 7 month old puppy to The Dog Knowledge at the recommendation of a friend. They shared with us how great their experience was and could not say enough good things about the facility, trainers and program. They said that it would be a way that we could get our puppy to better understand our language. We never expected that our experience could compare to what we were told by someone else - but it actually exceeded our expectations. The Dog Knowledge training has been completely transformative. We have had our dog home for over a month and he is WONDERFUL to be around. We enjoy him as a fun loving puppy that plays and we appreciate him for being an obedient addition to our family. While The Dog Knowledge uses praise and reward as a way to train dogs; they deserve the praise for the great work that they do! Thank you Debbie, Dennis and the entire staff!
