FirstBarkWe just completed the 6 week Puppy Kindergarten class and very glad we signed up. Lindy explained it’s not just training the puppy, it’s training the owner how to handle the dog. How you train when they’re young will pay off when they’re fully grown. We plan on continuing with Beginner Obedience class. Highly recommend A+ Dog Training for anyone with a dog.

We recently completed the Beginner Obedience Training at A+ Dog Training with our Australian Shepherd, Missy, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, Lindy and her team were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. They provided clear, informative guidance not just for Missy, but for us as owners too. Missy responded so well to the training, and we’ve seen such a positive difference in her behavior and confidence. The classes were well-structured, encouraging, and tailored to meet the needs of each dog and their owner. We felt welcomed and supported every step of the way. Thank you to Lindy and the A+ Dog Training staff for setting us up for success—highly recommend to anyone looking to build a strong foundation with their pup!
How do you turn a T-Rex into an actual puppy/dog that listens? Go to A+ Dog Training. Lindy and staff take the monter and turn him into one heck of a good dog! We had fun, and we learned a ton. Our boy is not perfect but he aims to please! Thanks Lindy - Debbie, John and Owen Wilson
This was our first time at A+. We brought our adopted dog Max who needed obedience training and it was a great experience. Lindy is a professional who knows dogs and offers a great structure to training them. She builds from the previous week and if you keep up your homework you will see improvement in your dog as we did with Max. We highly recommend A+ training for your dog.

I have been bringing my dogs to Lindy's training facility for 15 years. The courses are most affordable, the trainers are highly skilled, and the results are incomparable to anywhere else; and I've gone to other facilities in the area! Hands down, A+ Dog Training is simply the best! My dog LOVES to come to class, and when my pup is happy, I am too. I've also made nice friendships there. The variety of experiences and techniques Lindy offers in each dog class has made my dog the most confident and calm dog. I can take my dog anywhere and he adapts beautifully to any circumstance. The best part is when I'm in public and another dog barks or lunges toward my dog, and my dog just confidently wags his tail and ignores the racket. Whenever I go to dog-friendly bars and breweries, I love taking my dog because he is so well-behaved and receives compliments all the time; and of course whenever people ask where he's learned to be so well-behaved, I proudly say A+ Dog Training!
