Yes Thank you!! None of the times you had listed will work for us this go-around. We need a Monday, Tues, or Sat class... if possible Saint needs 2 things (1)socialization with other dogs (excessive excitement and BARKING)He as almost melted down in vet waiting room. Puppy K with other dogs would be helpful. (2) General obedience is good, apart from pulling at walks. My hubby and I disagree. I feel he needs something like gentle leader.... as a harness is not enough Please keep me on you mailing list for upcoming classes.

I have researched many trainers and found Dory. I have a Patterdale terrier high energy and drive, I own a K9 Scent detection company with four other dogs. Dory was able to lay the foundation in obedience training. Dory’s methodology in positive reinforcement is essential in my business. Terriers typically can be a challenge for most . Rudy is now a certified bed bug dog. Let this trainer help you reach your goals. Your dog will love and respect you for it.I would also follow her training advice when at home to reinforce her training .

Dory is awesome! After one in home session I saw immediate improvement in my pups by implementing her training. I have two large breed dogs who have lived together for two years when one of them started attacking the other. We called Dory and set up an in home lesson that same week. She is extremely knowledgeable in dog behavior. She pointed out multiple things to us in our home and explained from the dogs perspective what was happening. We followed her advice, implemented the training, and have not had an incident since. She also called us a few weeks later to check in with us which I really appreciated. She was recommended to us by multiple people and I understand why. I would recommend her to anyone needing obedience or behavioral training.
COT is THE place to train your dog. Any owner experience level, Dory gets results. She has years of experience but most of all she has the patience to train you and your dog no matter what your goals are. I’m training my third dog with Dory and I’d never go anywhere else.

Recently I added a new English style Golden Retriever pup to our family. I was referred to Dory by a friend/breeder who is familiar with her abilities. I’m not new to owning a dog, but I’ve never had a training outside of a big box pet store environment. My goal is to have this pup advance in training and be certified as a therapy dog, to benefit others, beyond my own family. Dory is very skilled with training the humans to properly train their dog. She’s patient with the clients, the pups and very observant, quick to jump in with pointers. It was amazing to see how quickly he learned when I was using best practice techniques and understood the rationale of why they’re important. She’s available for home training or classroom group training and the group sessions worked well for us. I would recommend her in a heartbeat, excellent! I’m looking forward to the next level of training.
