FirstBarkI have been taking my dog Chuck to Advances in animal behavior for over a year. First for obedience training and presently taking agility classes. Kristen was a big help in getting Chuck trained as a therapy dog. Love the trainers, Kristen and Kate. Great facility!!! Wouldn’t think of going anywhere else.

I have been taking Murphy to training at Advances in Animal Behavior for over a year, starting with Puppy Class, then obedience, and now agility. He is a smart dog with high energy, and loves running through tunnels, over jumps and other obstacles. Come Here Now class was especially helpful, as he understood what come meant, just didn’t see why he should! Katie and Kristen make it fun to train your dog, and it’s never boring. They have been very helpful with behavioral issues as well, as consistent training builds a great bond with your dog. Their methods are all positive rewards, exactly what I wanted for Murphy.
Trainers are knowledgeable about canine AND human behaviors. Excellent at helping humans learn to be their dog's best friend.
We had a great experience. Kate was patient and very knowledgeable about our dog's behavior. We really liked that they used positive training techniques. We would definitly recommend them.
