"We were referred to Gentle Dog Training by two different friends and could not be more thrilled with their work! We sent our 4 month old chocolate lab to Lisa & Mike for a 2-week board and train and she truly came back to us a new dog. Our house is much happier with a well behaved puppy and we will continue to work with Gentle Dog Training for all our boarding and training needs!"

"We just took our 6month old golden retriever puppy (Ellie) to Gentle Dog Training & we couldn’t recommend it more! Ellie is the most energetic dog I’ve ever had, and was a huge trouble maker. She would constantly jump on people & things, knowingly not listen to our discipline, and pretty much did her own thing. We took her to the two-week board & train and Lisa & her husband worked miracles! We went from having a trouble making hyper puppy to the most well behaved puppy at the dog park. Ellie needed a language & structure to succeed in, and she got that + more from Lisa. Lisa & her husband also taught us how to communicate with Ellie, and now we have this incredibly well behaved girl. We can use her puppy energy toward positive behaviors which enriches her life and ours. We constantly get complimented on how well behaved Ellie is with other dogs and people now. We also loved that during her board & train Lisa sent us pictures & Pupdates on how our girl is doing (picture attached is her husband working with Ellie). At the end of the board & train, we did a long one on one session to learn how to work with Ellie. We also scheduled follow up appointments & were sent home with a bunch of goodies to keep training Ellie with! All I can say is Gentle Dog Training has been a life saver, and I would do it over and over again with any of my future dogs!"

"Luna and I had such a great time learning new manners & basic skills at Gentle Dog training group classes. As a German Shepherd Rescue foster and mom of 2 GSDs many of these new training skills and tips will come in handy! I have been to several other dog training schools in the past with my other dogs, I always make sure to take each of my dogs to group classes for socialization is such an important skill, we learned a lot of things and am so excited to see how far Luna and I can go together helping to train more fosters and guide more fosters & adopters! Thank you Gentle Dog Training!"

"I would highly recommend Ken and Lisa! We did private lessons for our two young dogs. In 5 sessions, they completely transformed them! One of my dogs barked at everything and pulled like crazy on walks. She thought she was in charge. The other was too terrified to even leave the driveway, let alone go on walks. Both went crazy when guests came to the door. It was frustrating and embarrassing. Although they did demonstrate with our dogs, Ken and Lisa really trained us (my husband and I). Each week they walked us through 2-3 commands to work on. Then we’d put them into practice. It was easy and straightforward without being overwhelming. I think we learned as much (if not more) than our dogs! Although they aren’t perfectly behaved, I feel like we have the tools and knowledge to manage them. Which I couldn’t say before."
