East Longmeadow Dog Obedience Training Club

We are halfway through level one and I am very impressed. I am hoping to continue to the next level. I have successfully trained four other dogs, but my newest just wasn't picking it up. ELDOTC is the best in my opinion. In just a few short weeks, my boy heels, sits, stays and does not run to other dogs. We tried training at one of the pet stores. My dog just continued to bark during class. The trainer did not seem to know what to do. I was concerned about bringing him to ELDOTC thinking he might be disruptive. They assured me he would be welcome. During the very first class, Jackie showed me how to get him to settle. From then on, he learned to focus on training and not everyone else. I could go on forever. I would give 10 stars if I could. The trainers are excellent. I think people need

I have trained 5 dogs with the ELDOTC's help. The Trainers are patient and always available to answer questions. There is a commitment necessary by the owner as there is homework to do. The more time and practice you are willing to put in at home the better your results will be. I see the time spent as an investment in my dogs future as part of our family and one of my current dogs is a Therapy dog

Highly recommend ELDOTC! I grew up training dogs with them and when I decided to get my dog, we immediately signed up for classes. The trainers are patient and have so much knowledge! It’s a learning experience for both the owner and the dog and it’s worth putting the time in.

ELDOTC has helped train two of my dogs as therapy dogs. Both passed on the first test. The key is practicing, following the tenants and patience. I would recommend this school to anyone. They have helped so many dogs who were seemingly out of control but just needed some discipline and consistency.

They claim they have helpers to work with you if you are having a hard time but they rarely do. Also class moves much to fast ~ they show you one skill and have you do it a couple of times and then move on to next skill before your pup has even mastered the skill~ when ask for a volunteer dog to display new skill with they take the well behaved dog and mine is a pup and they never used her for volunteer purposes. Also have you fill out questionair to state what your dogs problems are I stated mine was she is a lab and to friend;y jumps and struggles to get to other people and animals ~ they did not do anything to help ~ followed a book that I could have bought at the store. Plus they teach commands one way without treats and you are supposed to get on your knees which I can't do and then t
