Best

Gracie is staying on the rug, and is no longer pulling on the leash. The instructors showed us with their dogs rather than just trying to talk us through it.

Worst

The frequency and pattern of the reviews (they almost all start with the name of the dog and are all very generic dog names) indicate they were all written by the same person, or ...

I learned how to use different distraction tools that has significantly reduced her biting and jumping on us, the cat and our older dog. Family life is much better now. I enjoyed learning about all the things that I was doing wrong and learning how to do it right. I liked the questions and answers sessions after each class. more

Remi learned to listen better while at bootcamp. The most improvement was shown in not jumping, staying, and rug-training, but everything was great overall! I can already imagine a more controlled, peaceful home environment when friends and/or family come over. There is not one thing I would change! more

Chana really improved in listening to commands, and knowing who is in control. What I had enjoyed the most were the improvement in my dog and the patience of the trainers. The instructor reinforced the rules which helped me get my big dog to understand I was in control. more

Chumley is no longer invading my space, and the mouthing has stopped. The rug technique seems to be a great training method! They helped me with clear explanations on my questions. more

Roscoe listens and pays much better attention to me. I enjoyed the human training; reminding me how to behave. I received constant correction when I was doing something wrong, really helped drill in the training. more

Luigi is a great at listening and is staying calm when normally he would be over-excited. I liked learning to enjoy my dog. What helped me the most was being taught to be in control over Luigi. more

When we first arrived Ouray seemed to be afraid of nearly everything. Now he enjoys being with all the puppies and enjoys learning. I enjoyed watching my son be able to bond with Ouray and know how to handle him when he doesn't listen/obey like he should. Vince has been so helpful. We've had puppies that were small breeds. Having a larger breed of dog was, or is, more difficult (in my opinion) to work with. more

Bailey has improved on sitting, down, walking on a leash, now allows me to touch ears, paws, I love the rug. Vince is very helpful and taught me how to treat my dog like a dog (not a kid). Just learning how to teach her the basics, the instructors are overall very helpful. They helped me create a well rounded dog. more

Harley was put into boot camp to learn basic commands and manners. I enjoyed seeing the improvements in such a short time. He showed the best improvement in focusing on me. It was nice to have the personalized instruction which made it easier to know when an error was being made. more

Easton needed to be human socialized, was very aggressive towards other people. Now I can take him on walks. I was shown everything I needed to know about Easton and how to continue working with him. more

Turley was enrolled into boot camp to work on his mouthing, jumping, comes, and other commands such as sit, down, and stay. He improved on everything. I came out with a much better understanding and knowledge on how to interact with my dog. The instructor answered all questions and clearly explained what I needed to do. Excellent instructions! more

Charlie improved on everything, but if I had to choose one thing it would be listening, the most important. The trainers gave one-on-one time during class to help with specific issues which I think is so helpful. You really just care about our animals which makes a world of different to us. Vince pin pointed everything we are doing and that we weren’t doing. He’s giving us back a relaxing life while still enjoying our new baby. Most of all, I know Charlie is going to be well behaved. more

Ginger improved all around, jumping, biting and pulling leash, mouthy, fearing certain noises, and much more. I enjoyed the positive approach. The instructor always asked if there were any concerns or questions. more

Macy is now doing what she is told instead of what she wants to do. The trainer was clear in explaining the process. We enjoyed seeing Macy do what she was expected to do. All of our questions were answered to a point that everything was understood. more

I liked how Jack listened to me when there were distractions. I enjoyed interaction with my dog-one on one time training-instructor being able to explain the behavior and the dogs reaction. The instructors clarified and pointed out certain details of following through with training and commands. more
