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.

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 ...

The variety of activities and the ability to get specific help with challenges we were having were excellent. The instructor helped me understand why Walker behaves the way he does and how to work with it. more

Don't trust the reviews 5/3/2013

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 same group of people. Anyone who must do this isn't producing quality results to have real rave reviews. Stay far away and consider a different dog training company. more

Moose is now listening to commands. I enjoyed being able to love on my dog and knowing how to discipline for good manners. The instructor continued to reinforce proper ways to work with him. more

Brutus and Patrick are obeying and giving personal space. Both of them are great listeners. Patricks aggressiveness is much more controlled now. I enjoyed learning to control the dogs and letting them know that I am in control. more

Zooms pulling was the most important for me to get resolved. Besides just learning how to heel, she learned to sit and stay, and many more. I really liked the variety of things learned, and the ability to have all kinds of distractions in the environment. The class was very interactive and helped point out mistakes being made. more

Charlie had a hard time following commands, and didnt have the best manners. He showed the most improvement in doing sits and stays, he would never do it for me before. I enjoy that Charlie listens to me, I love it. Im really happy with his progress. more

Zoey went into the puppy class because of her biting and mouthing. Not only working on that, she also really picked up on sits, downs, and walking by my side. Learning how to teach a puppy was a fun experience, I have never attempted it before. We were given lots of good examples and tips on training. more

We are very impressed and happy with the boot camp and how Shango is. We were showed and explained how to train Shango at home. His jumping and aggression stopped since we dropped him off. more

Bella would bark at anything, would not listen for anybody, and would submissively pee. The barking has improved greatly, and listens to the commands I give her. The peeing even stopped! I need to come back for more. more

Biscuit will stop his bad behaviors on command, is not jumping, and is not running all over the place. I enjoyed the rug exercise and learning to walk without pulling. I was shown how to get him to stop undesired behaviors; extremely helpful. more

Before Bullseye went into puppy training, he had issues with play biting and chewing furniture. Now he pays more attention to me and learned to sit and lay down. I even learned a cool few things, like how to take care of Bullseyes nails and ears. I was helped to understand what my dog is thinking. more

Tobeys door bolting and jumping on people was what led me to take the beginning class. His leash control and manners were really improved. All questions asked were answered thoroughly and effectively. more

Before taking the beginning class, Remnar wouldnt sit or stay, and would chew things apart. Now hell do commands, and the chewing stopped, minus his toys. Working with the dog on the things we learned in class was really exciting and enjoyable. more

Anya had bad manners and needed basic sit, down, stay, etc. so she was put into boot camp training. She showed improvement in everything. The instructor corrected me when I made mistakes, which will help me as an owner and help Anya succeed. I think it was a great course. more

I had two dogs go through boot camp for the same thing, just to get basic commands and obedience. Both Bentley and Clover showed the best changes in sitting, staying, and not jumping. I like watching the dogs respond to positive reinforcement. more
