Nellie was taught how to get along with other dogs and we are now the boss. It was a great experience taking her there. We were given tips on helping us to get better control because every dog is different. more

Christine taught me how to be the boss. I enjoyed how I was shown how to not get upset with her when she is not listening. I liked the fact that I didnt have to constantly chatter to keep her trained. The instructors were aware of my instructions to Roxxie, and they showed me how to reinforce with positive leadership. more

Id have to say Rocky showed the most improvement in the rug and staying. I enjoyed seeing all the dogs actually learn and perform for their owners. The instructor even trained my son to work with Rocky. more

Bambi is now listening and behaving! The anecdotes used about other dogs and how to apply the lesson to Bambi was invigorating. What was the most helpful was being corrected on mistakes I was making. There is nothing I can think of to improve this course. more

My dog Shiloh was possessive and a jumper. She improved on those, as well as staying, and calmly walking and sitting around other dogs. Any question we asked was answered, and the small classes were enjoyable. more

Ruby has learned to stay. The course helped me by just being here and learning how I can help her to learn. Stacey helped me to realize when Ruby was staring at other dogs to try and distract her to prevent aggression. more

Giesele is no longer jumping on people. He has improved and is now very calm. I enjoyed the simplicity of the commands. I can only imagine the amount of time, and energy that was put into the training. The instructors answered all of my questions concisely and clearly, and gave thorough explanations. more

I enjoyed seeing Ace well behaved. He learned his basic obedience while he was here, and the instructor took extra time to work with me individually on certain issues. more

Apache was placed into boot camp training because of his door darting, jumping, sits, and stays. He really improved in coming when called, doing sits and stays, as well door darting and jumping. I enjoyed seeing all the improvement with my dog. more

Louie was food aggressive, and needed work on basic manners. He has improved on his overall training, a lot more calm and listening to commands. Louie was very well taken care of. This course helped boost our confidence as an owner. more

Before the puppy class, Diesel used to jump on people, and wouldnt come when called. He quickly learned his basic commands, and once learned, obeyed immediately. I was given personalized training specifically for my dogs issues to help me along the way. more

Lincoln is now staying, lying down, remaining calm while I walk around. I liked the obedience part of the follow up. My suggestion is this, really, the only thing I can think of would be for you to be closer to my Place!! (1 hour away)- great job more

Before Odie went to puppy classes, he could bark, a lot, and get very excited and crazy at night. Odies overall behavior has greatly improved. Watching the progression and changes in Odie as time went on was really exciting. more

Izzy showed the most improvement in stays, and staying at the door when opened until told differently. I enjoyed learning to give commands correctly, which the instructor helped me with how to correctly command and lead Izzy. more

Tank now listens, is sitting, walking, and doing other basic commands. I really liked interacting with the other dogs and Tank having a time-out rug. The instructors took plenty of time to explain what was going on. more
