Very knowledgeable. My energetic boxer has gotten so many behavior compliments after going through puppy training with Kelly and Four on the Floor. Highly recommend.

The trainers notice minute dog behaviors that indicate what they are thinking and feeling, which directly affects their training. My goal is therapy dog in the end. My loving but somewhat timid rescue girl has gained a lot of confidence through the 2 classes she has already taken. Looking forward to the advanced class coming Best of all, she helped me with her slinking towards me w the word ‘come’ by changing how I call her in. I highly recommend these dog experts

We feel so fortunate to have found Kelly, the owner and main trainer at 4 On The Floor Dog Training! Our dog, Bailey was 8½ years old when we enrolled him in the first level of the Good Canine Citizen program. Our experience with a well-known training program when he was a puppy had felt arduous and unenjoyable, and we didn’t even finish the class and our dog didn't benefit The atmosphere at Kelly’s is truly night and day. We’re now in the third level of the program, and Bailey is thriving—we’re thoroughly enjoying it, too! We even arranged for our dog sitter to bring him while we were away so he wouldn’t miss a class. Kelly genuinely loves her work!! She is firm yet incredibly warm & caring and the dogs pay attention and respond to her. We cannot recommend Kelly and this program highly enough. A dog is never too old to learn and be challenged!

I’ve never met people so incredibly committed to making sure dogs can have healthy, happy lives. They have a wonderful facility to train pooches and their handlers, and they offer many types of trainings for every conceivable need. A huge thank you to Kelly Citrin, a legend in dog training circles. Nadia deserves another big shoutout, as she partners with Kelly in the training and they are like a single awesome brain with two separate bodies. And there is also Paweenudh, who will get back to you before you finish typing your email. Thank you to everyone from the bottom of our hearts!

Kelly and her whole team are amazing. We are lucky to have them as a part of our community. What a gift for all of our dogs.
