Daley Obedience

We've been bringing our dog to Kristine for daycare and for boarding for the last 6 months, and we've been super pleased! We came to Dailey Obedience after trying another daycare in the area and finding that our dog came home over-exhausted and overstimulated after an unstructured day of being constantly surrounded by other dogs. With Daley Obedience, our dog Simon comes home from daycare and from boarding fulfilled, relaxed, and clean. He tends to get overstimulated easily, so Kristine is cautious about matching him with other dogs of similar play style. When no dogs are available, she makes sure to provide him with other enriching/confidence building activities. We appreciate knowing he also has the opportunity to sleep/relax in a safe space during his periods of downtime. The dog's review is worth something as well. He is eager to get upstairs and see Kristine whenever we drop him off!

Basic training schools cover pretty much the same information and skills but not all trainers are equal. We found Kristine to be an A+ teacher and she is highly recommended by us. Having started initially with group classes elsewhere, there is no comparison with the progress both we and our dog made under Kristine's individual guidance. The lessons were stress-free for our dog, and we were given substantial information about "who" our dog is, how to interpret her communications, and how to tailor our interactions to her needs. Kristine's instructions are clear in the why's and the how's of each new lesson, helping us to appreciate the relationship to future skills and behaviors. We also received emailed homework afterwards to help us remember precisely what to focus on during the week. We will definitely return for reinforcement as needed. Thank you Kristine!
