C J's Dog Training

Had a very positive experience. Price is very reasonable. I believe it was 10 classes for about 110 for the beginner course. Compared to what I have seen in other places, that is great! All of the staff I encountered on every visit was friendly and helpful. We missed 2 of the classes overall due to some family issues but was not admonished or anything. They just said welcome and gave me the printout from what I missed. Each week has a printout of what will be covered and the homework. Also some tips for success. It is also available online. There were about 10 people and pups in our class and they varied in size, breed, temperament etc. None of this fazed the instructors. They have a shop dog for demonstrating and then alternate with your dog. They explain, show and then everyone practices. It is of course unreasonable to expect most dogs to get everything just in class time. That is why there is homework. Really the owner is getting trained on how to keep their dog trained. Some people I have spoken to complained about CJs and said it didn't help their dog. When I questioned further they admitted that they missed most of the classes and did none of the homework because were too busy. If u r too busy to train, u should not get a dog. Let's be fair, it is neither the training class nor the dogs fault if the owner is not willing to be a responsible owner. That includes a lot of work and time and money. The reward is worth it but be realistic and know what you are getting into before you go to a training place like Cjs and blame them for your faults. My dog did great and when she doesn't behave now, it is entirely my fault for not giving her the attention or exercise she needs. I will be putting her into CJs rally class asap because she loves to do that kind of stuff and is very intelligent. I am in know way affiliated with CJs. I do not even know them on any kind of personal level and I have received no discount or benefit from writing this. I wrote it because it is fair and true from my experiences.

Very frustrating puppy class. First the class was advertised for 1:15 but it goes much longer which starts 10 min late. Our Saturday is valuable. There was 18 people jammed in a little space which caused our pup to behave in a way that she never has before. They tell you to step on the leash to control the dog but this doesn’t stop her from being crazy with the other pup 2’ away. I could go on but im ranting. I don’t recommend this place due to the lack of class control and not limiting class size. We will go back to the place we went to previously in Camas since they limit the class size to 6 dogs.

I'm so grateful for CJ and her expertise. We took our standard poodle there for puppy class and continued on with beginning and intermediate obedience classes. We would still be going there if we hadn't moved out of the state. We now have a beautifully behaved dog and I learned a lot as well that has helped me as a dog groomer. I can now better understand common behavioral issues and know how to navigate them, giving dogs that are hard to groom a positive grooming experience. I'm so grateful for CJ and her team. The knowledge that is taught there is invaluable. I highly recommend them!
