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 ...

My dog showed improvement! 6/1/2010

Roxie showed improvement by being desensitized to joggers, and bikers. What I liked about my follow up was the correct way to be the leader. The instructor (Vince) repeated examples, made me take notes. more

Fantastic! 5/9/2010

The instructors were all fantastic. It was great when they would walk around and give us tips… The question and answer time at the end of class was helpful…. All of the instructors were very friendly and professional. I was impressed with the program and I hope to do the intermediate class as well…… more

Learned a lot... 5/6/2010

Ability to walk, move around other people and dogs. Basic obedience/focus on owners commands. What I liked was the group setting with other dogs and people. Vince told us what to do at home. Didn't hit us with to much information. Well paced. Mike & Pam more

Lot's to learn! 5/4/2010

Buddy learned lots of manners, how to listen sit/stay & the rug. What I liked was the good ideas I can use in the future. The lady instructors good/fast pace. More variety in activities. I liked some of the "extra" background knowledge mixed into the lessons. Denise, Bill W. more

Thank you!!! 4/19/2010

I don't know if you remember me, but I purchased a puppy from you last year. I was so excited to welcome him to our pack, and couldn't wait for him to be born in March. I name him Rommel, after The German Field Marshall of WWII. First of all I want to thank you for truly blessing me with an outstanding and wonderful dog. There isn't a day that goes by that I am so glad that he's a part of my life. He is also a head turner, he is a HANDSOME boy, or as I call him "Little Man." Please let me know what days work best for you. From my heart I thank you for your love of this breed and how wonderful your dogs are. Rommel has enriched my life in every way. Thank you! more
