I've been going there for over two years and I have the dog I've always wanted plus more. At first, I was not sure about it and a little turned away, but after I saw the techniques work I realized I just had always had the wrong ideas stuck in my head as to how to train a dog properly. All the training is based solely on positive reinforcement and zero punishment, which is more work, but keeps you and your dog happy, and bonds you two together more than any other method. Would recommend 100%, but make sure you plan to actually commit and put in the work and not expect that someone else is going to train your dog for you!

Very professional and straight to the point. If you are going in to find a new friend who will tell you what you want to hear, then she is not for you. But if you want someone who will tell you bluntly what needs to be done and how to best go about it then she is your go to. She …Read full reviewClose full review

Very professional and straight to the point. If you are going in to find a new friend who will tell you what you want to hear, then she is not for you. But if you want someone who will tell you bluntly what needs to be done and how to best go about it then she is your go to. She aims to find out the issue with your dog and figure out how to best train or correct their behavior. She is a sweet woman who knows a lot about different training methods and having the patience for it.

Barb is amazing! I am so happy to have found her over 4 years ago when I rescued my puppy. I picked up my now 4 year old girl on a Saturday, and was in class that Thursday.

Barb is amazing! I am so happy to have found her over 4 years ago when I rescued my puppy. I picked up my now 4 year old girl on a Saturday, and was in class that Thursday. Barb has helped her (and me) through a very difficult fear period. This dog, with Barb’s guidance, now has 3 AKC Trick Titles and is going to be competing in Agility trials in the Fall! I couldn’t ask for a better dog, or teacher! Barb is always available if you have questions or need help. A few months ago I rescued another puppy and immediately brought him to Barb. He is excelling under her tutelage. Her methods work!!! You do have to do the “homework” and practice to be successful, as in anything in life. There is a saying written on the whiteboard in class, “Every handler gets the dog they train”. It couldn’t be more true. I was recommended by a friend to go to Barb Levenson Dog Training Center, and now I recommend my friends to her!

She is the worst. Told me my dog would be on the news someday he is the gentlest dog around and I adopted another one and they get along great. She said she knows the dogs body language somehow she was dead wrong about my dog. Very little was covered in class and she just takes your money . It is time to retire. She definitely does not know dogs. There are much better dog trainers out there. Don’t waste your time nor money .
