What people have asked about this business.

I am going to start basic training dog is a small dog.what type of collar and leash do I need

They will tell what they want and have you buy it there. Bring cash or check

Community answer · Eileen Garvey · 2019-09-21

Speak with the instructors, every dog is different and you might need a certain size, type or length collar. Speciality collars should be used at the trainers direction. Prongs and chokes are safer then buckle or harnesses for training with proper supervision. Have fun.

Community answer · Karen Wood · 2019-09-21

You may use any regular collar and leash. Prong or choke collars are not advised. I like martingale collars for training.

The trainers can be a bit much, to say the least, and there's nothing they teach that you can't get for free off of YouTube, but it's a good place to get your dogs to learn a little self-control around other dogs.

I’ve taken my puppy there for 2 different 8 week classes. My only complaint was there was an uncontrollable German shepherd in both glasses, it was quite uncomfortable and disruptive. If the handler can’t control their dog they should be asked to leave. Otherwise it was a good experience for my puppy.

We have done puppy classes and conformation classes here. The atmosphere is very welcoming, my 7 year old daughter has been participating in classes regularly and everyone has been so supportive of her desire to learn how to work with dogs! She looks forward to the class every week. Our puppy was initially fearful of strangers but after consistent training here he has made amazing progress. Coach Kerri who teaches the conformation drop in class is amazing.

I just finished taking two classes (puppy tricks class and basic obedience) with my 9 month old miniature Australian shepherd puppy. The classes were great. When my puppy had struggles with certain things the instructors really went out of their way to work with my puppy and me. She really came out of her shell throughout the classes and they gave me the assistance I needed to get her to follow the commands. I can’t be more happy with this facility and instructors I have had classes with (Heather, Jo Ann and Bruce) I have already started her in sub-novice obedience classes with Judy and we enjoyed our first class. I will continue to drive 30+ minutes to this facility to continue with the training of my puppy to ensure that she has the best possible chance of success in her training. I do plan on taking more tricks classes for fun to continue to strengthen the bond with my puppy but most importantly having her trained as a therapy dog when she is old enough.
