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 been asking for Dory‘s help with my dogs for the past 32 years. She has taught the unteachable whether it’s canine or human. I am currently taking a course as I keep coming back because it works! Just when you think you can’t get through to your dog… Dory proves that you can and she does it in a way that is helpful for both you and your dog. It’s not magic. You have to do the work, but Dory shows you how, she supports you in your journey and she has never failed me or my family.

We have had an excellent experience working with Dory in training our 6 month old GSP puppy. The basic course was a great intro to learn basic training tips, and puppy socialization. We also had Dory come for an in home session, where she helped us a lot with working on specific needs. Dory has helped me feel more comfortable with training my puppy, and has a lot of knowledge and tips for success. We were looking forward to continuing classes with her!

I have seen Dory with three different dogs at three different level of classes over the past two years. Choosing to train with Dory has been the best decision I've made for my dogs! I worry less about my dogs' behavior, and have greatly strengthened my relationships with my dogs because of Dory. I could not recommend her enough - she is talented, patient, and extremely knowledgable. I am looking forward to bringing my dogs back for more advanced classes in the future!

Dory Hofmann came to my home met my Wire Fox Terrier Lilly and I. Then helped to train me first and both of us worked with Lilly.Dory has a wonderful gift a thirty plus year history in the dog world working with all types of dog breeds and she has a gift in teaching people as well. I found Dory extremely, knowledgeable, professional, driven in getting what needed to be accomplished and genuinely nice besides. Dory is a gift to have found.The beauty is you can always call and have her help with anything that should come up, how nice and you can count on her and she is on time.
Dory is a solution to problems.I highly recommend her to anyone that needs help with their dog. Sincerely,
Adele Fox

After one session with Dory, I learned several techniques that I use when walking or caring for dogs. These techniques became natural for me to handle dogs in a variety of settings, most especially when I was working with an uncontrollable pit terrier. I look forward to attending more training sessions!
