Riley's Angels

I have worked with many excellent dog trainers in the area - obedience, tricks, agility, Rally, plus basic puppy training and Canine Good Citizen. But I really love Riley’s Angels. We went to them to train my dog to do therapy work. We began with a fantastic socialization course. It taught dogs to be calm in many situations, work well with other dogs, and improve their manners. Then we took the therapy dog class. Absolutely the best in the area. Nine classes plus testing - I felt very very well prepared. The coaches are wonderful. Generous, so well versed, and POSITIVE. I recommend them to everyone.

Riley's Angels did a great job helping me learn to work with my dog. We had the opportunity to get practice in other settings to apply our training during our therapy dog classes. Highly recommend for anyone looking for any level of training with their dog. My daughter also recently went through training as well. Hats off to Stacey and Lesley for a great program!

My goal was to get my dog trained as a therapy dog. At the age of 4, my dog and I started with Riley’s Angels. We completed the AKC Canine Good Citizen Class, Focus class and we then completed Riley’s Angels Therapy Dog Certification class. Stacey and Lesley (trainers) were with us every step of the way. They made sure I understood the training expectations and gave me the direction and tools needed to meet those expectations. They have an excellent philosophy in dog training, are professional and love what they do. We are loving our time as a therapy dog team, thanks to Riley’s Angels!

I would not trust my dog anywhere else. I love that they support the relationship between the handler and the dog through companionship and not control. There are no harsh collars etc. My dog trusts me and I her. She went through multiple classes and is now therapy trained. I am proud to say we are now able to support the community and we do on a weekly basis.

Riley’s Angels is amazing! They turned my out of control stubborn Border Collie/Husky mix into a civilized canine citizen and he is now proud to be a working certified therapy dog. Thank you Lesley and Stacey!
