FirstBarkDennis and his team trained 3 giant schnauzers that are fairly stubborn. After 4 weeks, they walk without pulling, stay in place and no longer steal food. Very impressed and they will take great care of your dog.

We found out about The Dog Knowledge about 10 years ago when we needed a service dog for our daughter. Since then we have had them also train 2 rescues we adopted and they are currently training my daughter's new service dog. They have been absolutely fantastic all these years. They provide all the support you need and then some. I absolutely give them the highest recommendation possible. More than 5 stars.

We had a very positive experience at Dog Knowledge when they trained our English lab puppy. At first we were hesitant to send her away for four weeks, but as the time got closer, we realized it would be a nice break from the chaos that a new puppy brought into our already very busy lives. After training, our puppy was excellent at leash walking and staying on place, which were areas of distress. The home visit was super beneficial to work on things that needed further attention in our own home, like counter surfing. She is a lab puppy and definitely still gets into trouble, but Dog Knowledge helped us so much (and again, it was nice to have a little break!) We are boarding club members, and she loves to go back and see her trainers and play when we go out of town.
The Dog Knowledge is top notch training! Your dog will be in great hands with everyone here. The weekly updates help you feel at ease with leaving your pup somewhere for several weeks. She came home wonderful on a leash and confident in commands.

The Dog Knowledge is top notch! Your dog will be in great hands with everyone here. The weekly updates help you feel at ease with leaving your pup somewhere for weeks, & let me tell you - the training is amazing. My Hank came home a new dog. He is wonderful on a leash, and overall just more relaxed and confident in his commands. I am so happy to have him home, but I'd leave him for another 4 weeks knowing what great hands he was in at The Dog Knowledge! Special thanks to Dennis for spending time walking us through his training at graduation. I'll be singing y'all's praises forever!!!!
