Denali Dog Obedience School

I have taken five dogs over 25 years to Denali Dog Obedience School and am currently taking my sixth, a seven month old puppy. I have had nothing but best experience with their instructors, several of whom have been teaching since my very first class beginning. Instructors are kind yet firm with both dogs and their owners, reinforcing the techniques owners must learn to teach their dogs how to be "good dogs". Classes are well organized, class size is appropriate for socializing dogs with other dogs in a supervised environment. Dogs learn how to attend to their owners even with the distraction of other dogs. In my opinion there is no better way to create a life long bond between owner and dog than obedience training and Denali Dog Obedience School is the best.

By far the best place to have your dogs trained. Very knowledgeable and experienced instructors offer help to everyone in the class and leave no one out. They stay late to answer questions and address all concerns and questions related to caring for your dog. Holistic approach to dog care that shows they put the health and well being of the animal above human convenience. Both my dogs have been to their lessons and I am highly satisfied with the outcome. Their training is based on the Volhard Motivational Method, which is based in the principle of positive reinforcement. This is the original version of this teaching method. They were trained by Jack Volhard himself! If you truly care about having a life long companion you can trust in any situation life can throw at you, take them to train at Denali.

Uses a positive reinforcement approach to teaching owners and pets the set of signals and rules for positive behavior and routine. Taught at Orchard Kennels and works through anseries of weekly classes with daily home work. You build a foundation of progressions weekly and will routine discuss your instructions to success or deal with other home behaviors and how to correct. Have taken several pets through many levels of obedience.

The beginner classes we attended were way over capacity! Our trainer was unfocused and unprepared. You would be better off watching YouTube videos. If I could give my experience zero stars I absolutely would. When my hyper pup was over excited they moved us to the front of the room where we were unable to participate in the activities being performed. After dealing with this nonsense for three classes I made my dissatisfaction known and requested a prorated refund. I was met with even worse customer service and was finally given back a partial refund which was far less than I was owed. This program was an absolute joke, save your money!
