Mayhem to Manners Dog Training

We started working with Mayhem to Manners as soon as our puppy was old enough. Our biggest struggle was keeping her off things she shouldn’t have (i.e. socks), releasing things once she did get them, and biting everything, people included. Ultimately, she didn’t know how to behave and we didn’t know how to communicate with her in a way she understood. Our dog now knows how to listen to us. We take her to many places to meet as many people and situations as possible. We consistently receive positive feedback on her behavior and temperament. Having the training greatly helped us work through the puppy stage and helped shape our dog into a trustworthy member of our family. We were grateful to find someone so knowledgeable in rural Wisconsin, within driving distance from where we lived

I had the best experience with Kelly and my German Shepherd. We started out with puppy class and then at 4 months signed up for the “You Train Program” which is weekly private lessons with Kelly. We learned so much in these sessions..Things like sit, place, down, heel, wait at doorway and come when called. After sessions Kelly emailed a summary of what we did and the things we needed to work on. Thanks to Mayhem to Manners I have a dog that is a delight to be around.

Mayhem to Manners is absolutely awesome and here is why I say that. I started out with a sweet puppy, but as the months went by I started to wonder what I got myself into. I've had 3 Vizslas and a rescue Weimaraner in the past and realized that in addition to being cute, sweet, and loveable, they are very high energy dogs. If you don't give them a job to do they will find their own and you probably won't like it. I just wasn't prepared for the types of behavior Tigger chose to do. I worked with Tigger on the basics: sit, down, stay in one spot while we eat, and heel. I don't think I was consistent enough and in addition he was very smart. Tigger would listen when I was focused on him, but most other times he was wild and crazy. He had hobbies such as jumping up and grabbing branches off sm

Fantastic experience with Mayhem to Manners. I could not believe how well our dog did with the program. I also love that they still offer support once the program is over. It completely changed our relationship with our dog. We would choose Mayhem to Manners again every time!

We were referred to Kelly by friends who said they wished she lived with them and their dogs. Now we feel the same way! We enrolled our 6 month old boxer Tucker in her residential 10 day Fast Track program. When we came to pick him up we were astonished by what he had learned. He was like a new pup with skills we didn’t think possible in such a short time. Kelly is amazing - so knowledgeable, kind, caring, and supportive. We will continue with group classes because she patiently reinforces skills we and Tucker are learning together. Kelly rates 10 stars from us!
