Currently taking a puppy class and have nothing but great things to say-- Bridget runs a really nice class and somehow manages to keep all of the puppies calm and attentive! She puts off great energy I suppose because the minute we enter the room our pup knows he's there to get treats and to engage his brain! She's available after class for questions and weird situations and she always has adjustments for when a certain technique doesn't work for your dog-- Highly recommend! 👍👍

I took a group of ten students to the Penn Working Dog Center. We talked with the staff about the work that's done at the Center and then observed three dogs going through search and rescue training. The staff at the Center are amazing. They're passionate about the work they do, they explain things very well, and they help train dogs to work in very demanding roles. The Center website has the public tour schedule available. They also welcome volunteers but this is not like volunteering at a dog rescue center, you will need training before you can even walk a dog. However, from our visit, I'm sure it'll be worth your while. So thankful that these folks are doing the work they're doing.

Love volunteering here! Great people, so much fun to see the dogs in action, and I'm learning a ton

We have come here for Donna's agility class for 4 years. I can't rave enough about her and the experience. Our dog LOVES it, and the bond with her is amazing.
