FirstBarkWe adopted two rescue dogs who were badly in need of some training (or was it us :) Valerie helped us with private training which was a great success, some noticeable changes even after the first lesson. We continued with a course of group training which was also beneficial and fun. Result we have two well trained young dogs.

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
Hey I wanted to train my dog to be my service dog is this place good doe that and if not any place in the coachella valley?
Hi Edgar, We train service dogs. If your dog can be trained depends on your dog and the behavior you need the dog too learn. Guide Dogs have their own breeding program and still only have a 20% success rate, simply because the dog is unable to do that behavior. This is why there were over 30 lassies playing one dog. We can come out and let you know if we feel we can teach the dog the behavior you need. Let us know, we are happy to help.

You were recommended by neighbors Gina and Maria. Also by our Vet at P. S. Animal Hosp. Ollie is 65lb 17month terrier mix. Main problems: Over excited when meeting people; regressed on peeing in house. Can you help??
I can help you. My fee is either $125 an hour or 4 one hour sessions for $400 privately. I also offer 6 week classes for $125 let me know what you would like to do.

Very nice place
Great people and the training classes on Saturday morning are fun.
We rescued a dog that had been raised for meat overseas. She had obviously been abused and had some serious and concerning “triggers”. She stayed with Valerie for a couple of weeks and Valerie was able to work miracles. Leah is now a happy, smart, funny and confident member of the family. Valerie’s calm, loving, positive and professional training style is amazing!
Valerie came to our house to help us with a few issues we were having with our new dog. She showed us several techniques that we will continue to practice on our own. The dog made amazing progress in an hour. Valerie uses positive reinforcement techniques.
