"Karen has been guiding us through in-home training. We’ve only had 3, 1 hour sessions and I have already noticed a drastic difference in our 2 minpins behavior! It was intimidating trying to modify reactive behaviors in adult rescue pups (both 6yrs old), but Karen assured me it’s both possible & rewarding! She is a patient, kind, passionate, & professional trainer. She not only explains how to train behaviors but also WHY we use specific methods & cues. She gave us tips about food, treats, medication, recommended helpful books & videos. I really can’t say enough positive things about our experience w/ Karen from The Dogs’ Spot. I should mention that prior to choosing DS, I read about & called several training centers in KC. Dogs’ Spot seems to offer the most flexible options & had some of the most experienced (& multi-certified) trainers. I wanted a hands-on experience rather than an expensive board & train, which just didn’t seem like a good fit for my budget or my anxious dogs."
"With surviving adolescents and canine good citizen courses completed I've decided that the convenience of the dog spots location really isn't a reason for us to continue training there anymore. I will say they have a nice facility and I did accomplish socializing my Dogo Argentino in a safe controlled environment. I picked up more usable information in our puppy class than I did in CGC. The lecture time in surviving adolescents seemed long and a lot less interactive than you would expect. Other facilities do these group classes in a way you would expect that is much more interactive and interesting. It was in this first course where I was sold a harness for my mastiff puppy at 5 months old under a completely false statement. They promoted a trade in program where you get a XL adult size for free when he grew out of a smaller size if I purchased a balance harness. I had no interest in getting one previously since I was fully aware he was going to outgrow it in months if not weeks. When we showed up for the CGC class a couple months later, he had doubled in size and I was told they wouldn't uphold the statement anymore. Put a fairly bad business taste in ones mouth to say the least. I get things changed, but not upholding sales that have already been made to clients just comes off bad. My recommendation on the CGC course would be to go ahead and skip it. You are spending thirty plus bucks a class for something you can just watch on you tube. The first red flag was the newbie trainer. Dude is teaching an AKC class but has zero idea what conformation is! Very odd... 6 classes and almost all of them the last 20 minutes the trainers had no curriculum left and just sat around asking what we wanted to do for the rest of the class. I don't know that I learned a single thing in the class except the 10 skills needed to pass the test which as stated before can just be watched for free. I definitely did not learn the one thing that he was automatically failed for! lol The end of the program, 3 of the 6 dogs tested. The 2 other dogs passed and mine did not. The handler let my boy wander up and mark a wall during the 3 minute duration I was away, which is an immediate dq. Unfortunately, the start of the test was literally the first time anyone had ever mentioned marking at all. Learning by FAILURE is the lesson plan apparently! I'm happy for the other 2 dog owners for passing but the reality is not one dog there would actually pass legitimately. It comes off extremely subjective when you pass a dog that won't recall or down but fails another because the handler lets him pee on a wall which was never prepped for. I'll leave a pic of his test sheet. It just shows him passing everything which if I'm honest is a complete fabrication and shows just how watered down the program really is. He should have never passed. At least he stays and recalls though unlike the other candidates. As stated this is a good facility, they have very nice people. I just can't honestly say I would recommend them at this point for training."
"Karen is incredible, so knowledgeable and patient, she honestly saved us from having to put down our baby, Wesley. IT has been worth every penny, even struggling as we are, and we have learned so much from her! Being able to contact her via text between visits has been immeasurably helpful, and it's really obvious how dedicated she is to helping people and their pups. And I honestly trust her as much, if not more sometimes, as my vet. Cannot recommend her highly enough."
"So glad we found The Dogs Spot for help with our reactive dog! Karen, who led the reactive dog class, has been a fantastic advocate and educator. Our dog made a lot of progress with the class, but even more helpful was private lessons with Karen. I specifically sought out a trainer/facility that practices positive reinforcement, and that's exactly the experience we have had with Karen and The Dogs Spot. Could not recommend it more highly!"
"Archie and Bowser absolutely love coming here! Laura is fantastic at helping each individual during class based on their skill level. LeAnn and Grace have been so fun to work with during agility. I work for a large local animal shelter and have been recommending The Dogs Spot to friends, coworkers and adopters!"
