★★★★★ 5.0 Tracey Scheer · Jun 2025

Positive experience in a clean and thoughtful indoor training space. Knowledgeable instructors explain the basics of training your family dog and often demonstrate with dogs in the class. Then you try with your own dog. Games as the dogs advance make it fun for all. Be prepared to work with your dog between classes using weekly handouts. Very organized and professional and the results with my pooch have been beyond my expectations. School has a shop selling supplies at fair prices. Easy parking.

Top notch facility! Well credentialed staff trainers, dedicated to your success. Spotlessly clean, spacious, safe, and equipped with the highest quality equipment. They offer something for everyone and definitely make your dog's happiness their top priority.

★★★★★ 5.0 Sheila Bertini · May 2025

Just finished up practicing the basics with Sandy and Jill instructing. Great class, great instructors! Professional, organized and provided one on one attention and tips for working with your dog. So fun to see how far all the dogs in the class progress over the 6 week course! Highly recommend 🐶

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Erin Libby · Mar 2025

Awful experience. Class was entirely driven by rewarding with food. No socialization for puppies. When puppy was barking instead of offering advice, was asked to quiet her down and reward her with treats. Would not recommend to anyone! Total waste of time.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 B Somers · Jul 2024

I don’t know what class other 5 and 4 star reviewers went to, but I enrolled in the puppy classes to socialize my dog. Instead the trainer wouldn’t let the dogs even get close to each other. Also their training is based on constant treats. I have owned many dogs over the years and have found that a dog trained this way will only respond to treats. Watch one of their videos and you will see a constant stream of treating. In my opinion a very ineffective method. I was so dissatisfied that I didn’t go back after 3 lessons. My only reason in going to these classes was for socializing. I know how to train for obedience and even had a dog who was an obedience champion. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
