Their 6-week puppy playtime is a perfect set up to exercise and socialize my puppy. We enjoy each week’s playtime watching our pup play with other pups while being closely supervised by their experienced staff. I am sorry it is ending soon. I am definitely looking into another type of class with them.
We take our pup to puppy socialization here and she loves it. The trainers we’ve had are all quite professional, knowledgeable, and kind, and the fellow dog owners have also been a lovely community. Would highly recommend!
trainer was knowledgeable, professional, and truly cared about what was best for my dog

We have been Woofs clients for over 3 years now! I can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review! We are so happy with Woofs, we adore the entire Woofs team. We have worked with them for private training, group training, and doggy daycare. We feel so lucky to have stumbled into this amazing family that treats my dog with love, respect, and kindness. This is a positive reinforcement training facility and once you try it, you will never, ever consider another approach. We always joke that the training sessions are more to train me than my dog, but I have learned so much about dog body language and being in tune with my dog's needs. We love Woofs! Special shoutouts to Laura and Carrie who we've worked with the most, but truly all of the staff are so so wonderful!
