★★★★★ 5.0 Allyson Van Wyk · Jan 2026

My dog, Ralphie, has benefited greatly from their Reactive Dog class and now their Relationship building class. They give excellent, intuitive one on one training and also small group ( about 5-6 dogs) training with customized attention to each and many years of experience and success.

★★★★★ 5.0 Liz McGuffey · Dec 2024

Irina was assigned to us when we sought training for our new dog at Whole Dog. She came to our home and her low-key, calm manner quickly captivated our young dog as well as her owners! As you probably know dog trainers train the owner rather than the dog. She taught us to continue training in her absence and graduated our pup to our care after only four sessions. We highly recommend Irina to anyone who needs help controlling an exuberant young dog. M&L McG.

We are presently working with Liz to train our dog out of some reactivity and she has been absolutely phenomenal! We have worked with several trainers in the area over the years and this has been our best experience yet.

★★★★★ 5.0 Alison · Sep 2025

Liz came to our house to assess our dog, and she was wonderful! Our dog is extremely skittish and suspicious of strangers, but Liz has such a great vibe, our dog was actually sniffing her legs before we got out of the foyer! She taught us all kinds of things during our appointment that have already been successful with our puppy. We are definitely going to keep training with Liz.

★★★★★ 5.0 Wendy Collin Sorin · Aug 2025

Liz Turpin is a helpful, knowledgeable dog trainer. In two sessions so far she has given us guidance, tips, and confidence so we can manage our dog. Highly recommended!
