Rufus was a terrible jumper and was human aggressive, so I enrolled him into boot camp training hoping for the best. He is a great listener, is calmer, and rarely jumps now. The trainer was very good with Rufus, and talked to me about how things went with him.

Easton needed to be human socialized, was very aggressive towards other people. Now I can take him on walks. I was shown everything I needed to know about Easton and how to continue working with him.

Kaya is much better on obedience and her manners really improved. I liked the multiple trainers so I could get one on one feedback on how I was doing. What helped the most were lots of practice on commands and the explanations of why.

I know jennessa h and her dog roxy...i was a unliscensed trainer there when roxy was there and her story is true! she did not get kennel cough from barking all the time. she didnt bark very much while there. the place is known for checking in dogs that show mild signs of being sick in some way just for the money. i can not devulge everything i know about that place because of a NDA i signed when hired but i can say the deception and lies run deep there. a training tool used there would otherwise anger most owners IF they kne... read more

Boomer went into the beginning course because of leash pulling and not listening. Boomer now watches me and is not being distracted by other dogs, people, etc. I really enjoyed seeing him improve and start paying more attention to me.

PLEASE BE WARNED!!!! This is no joke! This place should be shut down!! All they want is your $$ and your are putting your animal at GREAT RISK if you bring your animal to this facility. They hung up on my daughter after she called very upset about the news that her dog has KENNEL COUGH. All their dogs are to have the vaccine prior to boarding their animals. This is a serious illness and her dog may need to be hospitalized if the first round of treatment does not work. When we called yesterday, the facility had no care in the... read more

Disappointed – I am extremely surprised to see this place has only received one negative review. I took my puppy to their training class and felt that trainers were very CONDESING, especially Vince. Instead of calling me by my name he kept calling me, Babe??? I think that is rude and very unprofessional as an owner/trainer. My puppy did not get anything out of their training besides the socializing with the other pups, which I could have done easily for free at Petco or Petsmart. Instead of reading the supposedly raved revie... read more

Lincoln remains calm now – Lincoln is now staying, lying down, remaining calm while I walk around. I liked the obedience part of the follow up. My suggestion is this, really, the only thing I can think of would be for you to be closer to my Place!! (1 hour away)- great job.

Helped me to train my dog – Brandi learned her basic commands (sits, stays, down). I enjoyed the repetition and clear directions. They helped me to train my dog to do well-behave and listen to basic commands.
