Small dog training? 4.5 lbs?

My Toller, Mickey, and I did 8 weeks of puppy training with John and Carrie. Fabulous experience! My past puppy training experience has been 15 puppies in a room going wild. Not at the Academy! Each owner/puppy has their own cubicle, keeping all the pups separated. John demos the steps with his own or Carrie's dog, then we go to work. Each owner/puppy had individual attention as required to learn. After 8 weeks, Mickey does sit, down, stays (with distractions), comes every single time he's called, has a solid "leave it" and "drop it." He's got the basics of walking with a loose leash at my side, and greets people somewhat nicely (that could be better!). Highly recommend! Pay attention and do the homework and you will be as thrilled with the results as I am. We are taking Focus on Therapy Dog next, and I can't wait for it to start.

We have been taking classes here for over a year now. It's amazing when everything you are taught comes together at the end of each class. We are able to apply what we learn in class to real world scenarios. We have grown together as a team. All of the instructors here care about the wellbeing of all animals and are very educated in utilizing positive reinforcement training. My dog loves going to "school" here.
Very nice staff . Facility is spacious. We’re enjoying the training and our dog is learning a lot. Will probably take the next class after we complete this level. They make a very good effort to give whatever assistance you need to train your pooch.
I would recommend Academy of Dog Traning and Agility to everyone. The classes are great all of the instructors are very knowledgeable. Their dogs are also amazing. I've taken two of my boxers to the puppy classes and will, be contuing to the next level.
