Montana is an excellent, hands-on, personal dog trainer who helps everyone in puppy class with any problem they may have. She has great resources to share and her techniques are superb.
Our puppy is loving Montana's class. Montana is knowledgable, experienced and believes in training with kindness. Highly recommend!
Montana was so helpful when we met for a private session. It made all the difference! For puppy training, she provided me with terrific guidance, reading resources and creative training ideas. I now have the tools and knowledge to continue working with my dog in a fun and productive manner!
Our family highly recommends Big Sky Dog Training. Montana is the best! She helped us with our "high-energy" four month old lab-boxer mix. We were considering boarding, but Montana convinced us that in-home private lessons were the way to go. And she was right! It was so helpful…Read full reviewClose full review
Our family highly recommends Big Sky Dog Training. Montana is the best! She helped us with our "high-energy" four month old lab-boxer mix. We were considering boarding, but Montana convinced us that in-home private lessons were the way to go. And she was right! It was so helpful to watch Montana interact with our dog so we could learn how to address certain behaviors right on the spot. She is very knowledgeable and one of the nicest people. She always answered our calls and questions. We would recommend her to any family looking for help with training a new puppy or dog!
