We partnered with The Prodigal Pooch to help our Teo learn basic obedience, and work on reactive behaviors that were causing him to be an anxious and excited dog. After the 19 day Resident Program, Teo was a totally different dog, and we were totally different owners. The skills Teo learned in his training have transferred beautifully to our day to day lives, and he’s the most confident big brother to his new baby sister. Blake empowered my husband and I to know how best to support Teo to ensure he’s set up for success in any situation. People that knew our boy before training constantly comment on how different of a dog he is. We are forever grateful for the expert care The Prodigal Pooch team poured into our dog and family!

Blake & Kelly are the absolute best! I sent my 6 month lab puppy to the 19 day resident program, and that has BY FAR been the best decision ever! People comment ALL THE TIME about how well behaved she is and how impressed they are with her. My goal with the program was for her to be able to fit into my life and go with me places, and I am able take her with me everywhere (that dogs are allowed)! They are so trustworthy and take care of your fur baby as if he/she was their own. Cannot recommend them enough!

As a newly minted dog owner that hasn't had a pet for over 30 years, I wanted to make sure that our puppy (Greegan) was the family member that we would enjoy for years to come and grow up as best mate to my son. The Prodigal Pooch team was the missing piece to ensure that we were setting Greegan up for success. From the initial sessions to the resident 19 days training to the post follow up sessions. We couldn't be happier to the way Greegan is developing as a fantastic addition to our family. This is an ongoing process for both the dog and us. But I can confidently say, if you put in the work and take the time to learn and reinforce the Prodigal Pooch methodology, you won't be disappointed with the investment

Blake is the best! We signed our 4 year old Corgi up to his 19-day residential training, and we couldn’t be happier. Loaf was a very anxious buddy before the classes who loved to yell at dogs on the tv, and Blake made sure to address his unique challenges. Blake also put in the time after residential training to be sure my husband and I could continue training at home. It’s opened up a lot of opportunity for Loaf to have fun going on trips and doing new things without us worrying about his behavior. Thanks Blake!

My goldendoodle Bo was potty trained immediately following their puppy program and has been very well behaved. He is by far the best dog I’ve ever had and setting him up for success from Day 1 with their program has been an invaluable part of that. I look forward to sending him to the resident training soon!
