"Had such an amazing experience today! I was so nervous coming into the class as it was my first time with my Lab and I came out feeling more confident and comfortable than ever. Our trainer Chris was professional and so knowledgeable. Less than 2 hours and my dog was able to do commands as taught and be comfortable with dogs walking around her without her barking and lunging at other dogs. Staff there was awesome. Looking forward to the next few weeks of our journey."

"I cant say enough good things about the trainers here. They are all very knowledgeable and want you and your dog to succeed. Even in a group class you still feel like you get individual attention. Rusty, Dee, Suzanne, and Chris are always happy to answer questions and help you with any issues you may be having. A final point is that they are very affordable being you only pay per class and are not held to specific regimen. I feel with them around there is no excuse to say you cant afford a trainer."

"Love the energy in that place. Great environment to bond with your dog and learn training techniques. Amazing how fast dogs learn when you begin understanding their behavior. Rusty and his team are awesome"

"The trainers overall seem so busy belittling and demeaning the people being trained that it made it very stressful for both myself and my dog. I did appreciate the outdoor environment to do training & the flexibility for either Saturday or Sunday morning training. I believe the training to be good in essence but the delivery leaves a lot to be desired. I once heard the owner (Rusty) commenting on how many people only come once. I understand. I went 5 times and had very little interaction with Rusty but on my last visit he greeted me with "I see you have doing most things wrong". I believe it is important for a dog to be trained and that is why I was there. I mentioned that I take my dog to a dog park looking for other dogs to socialize my dog with. His remark was "well that is stupid". I am now looking for a dog training programs for my very excitable min pin."

"My dog, Echo, is a walking testimony of the incredible work that Dee & Rusty put into the dogs they train. We are thrilled with the improvement we have seen in our very reactive dog. Their approach WORKS! We have attended classes for a little over a month & we feel like we own a different dog now. I can’t put into words how happy we have been with their work. Truly amazing! On top of being the best in the business for dog training (with so much experience), they are great people who actually CARE about your dog. If you are considering attending a class, here is your sign!"
