After searching for the right dog trainer for weeks, I met an older couple that brought their amazing dogs to the local dog park. They told me that their 10 months German Shepherd mix had finished a 9 week course at Cadence Kennel in Ontario and that pup was simply amazing! Did all the commands off leash at the dog park where there was at least 25 other dogs and people around. I knew I wasn't going to get that kinda result from going to Petsmart or Petco, but I also didn't want to pay $$$ for a dog trainer. The couple told me that Pat (trainer) hasn't raised his price for over 20 years, wasn't in it for the money and that the 9/10 week obedience class was actually cheaper than the $109 that Petsmart was charging.
So, I called immediately and asked when their next course started. I found out it was a few weeks away and because we wanted to start as soon as possible we signed out 2 dogs up for a private lesson (which was cheap!) He spent almost 2 hours with us and we learned so much! We've always grown up with dogs and they were well mannered, but even after the first lesson, I can tell that my 2 dogs are really paying attention to me and actually thinking and learning.
I definitely recommend Pat/Cadence Kennel to everyone! I can't wait until the next class!
Pros: Reasonable Price and Great Trainer!
Cons: Kennel is kinda old and right next to a train track
