About Dog Obedience Group - Boarding, Training, Daycare

Saving dogs that lack social skills from the shelter life, or the home in the country, or being put down because they're incorrigible is the focus of my dog training and doggie daycare. Retraining the brain of the canine is my mission. This means rehabilitation from objectionable behaviors such as jumping on people, biting, chewing destructively, running away, not coming when called, pulling the owner around on the leash and lunging at others are examples. I have been trained by the great William R. Koehler, head animal trainer for Walt Disney for more than 25 years. My training strategies have been proven over the years to be effective in helping dogs become well-behaved members of the family. I also offer dog boarding in my home.

This review is in response to Elizabeth’s post just 3 days ago, claiming that she commingles dogs of all sizes successfully at her facility. She is trying to cover up the fact that her policy of commingling caused our 19 lb dog to be attacked by another dog in her “care”. Our dog was so severely attached that he nearly lost his life. Elizabeth stated that she had to choke the other dog to get him to stop. Her practices of commingling are unsafe and possibly deadly. Elizabeth should be shut down before somebody’s loving dog doesn’t come home. Elizabeth is totally unprofessional and misrepresented. She is a fraud. Be ware.

My husband and I are impressed with Elizabeth’s knowledge of dogs, we learned a lot from her. We loved to see how much she truly loved our dogs. She got our dogs to trust her within less then 3 minutes. The dogs loved having room to run around and play with the other dogs. Pax is doing great 😀. Thank you for all your love and kindness 🤗

awful place. would give negative stars if possible. boarding areas are not secure or safe for animals or humans. woman running place is terrible person. Please look at before using, simple walk through will show how poorly run. Ask to see insurance certificates .... good luck... ask to see vaccine records of other animals allowed to roam free with all pets staying there... good luck. ask to see training certificates ... again goodluck. This is a dangerous place DO NOT TRUST THIS PLACE WITH ANYTHING YOU LOVE OR CARE ABOUT> should be closed down for everything from sanitary to fire-codes to zoning violations. DO NOT USE!####Response to owner response. No its you. read other reviews. Terrible place. Bad people. cannot provide information required.

I took my very large, but super loving, pit bull to meet the trainer for the first time the other day. The trainer wanted to work on proper leash training so he could ditch his choke collar, which was more than okay with me. There were several curses and very rude remarks made from her to me that I still decided to ignore as long as she treated my dog nicely. She yanked my dog around repeatedly without even giving him a command to turn around, which he is usually pretty good with. Still, my dog seemed fine so I was willing to hear her out. Then, I noticed the leash was stuck under my dogs belly. When I told her, she said “he’s fine”, very rudely as if I was a bother and then proceeded to yank the leash which took his foot out right from under him and he fell! I shook my head and said “Oh, I don’t like that” and she quickly replied “goodbye then”. SO UNPROFESSIONAL. Then before going inside she holds the door open and curses at us while saying “I wish you weren’t so close minded!” and shut it. That was the clean version of what she said to us. Don’t bring your dog here! I wouldn’t trust her alone with any living thing. If this is how she treats a customer for her business, imagine how she’ll treat something that can’t talk!

This woman shouldn't be around dogs, or people either. She said "my dog should be killed" I called Elizabeth to enquire about boarding my 135 lb. Great Pyrenees "Diesel" for a few days. I explained he was very protective of my girlfriend and I and thus sometimes aggressive to strangers. She said she could deal with such dogs and to bring him in for a meet. We did, at first Diesel went up to her a couple and sniffed her without incident, Then she curtly accused us of malnourishing him because we didn't feed him raw meat. I explained we fed him fresh meats and vegetables that we prepare for him. "Not good enough" according to her, it has to be raw. Then she criticized his nails were too long, admittedly they were due for a trim but her inflections were kind of hostile. All this attitude started to put us on edge and Diesel too as he is no dummy and he was starting not to like her. Then she pulls out a choker chain and asks me to put it on him, I started to prepare it by putting the chain back through the ring as is necessary when she abruptly grabs it out of my hand and scolds me for not doing it correctly! (there is only one way it can end up being) she then prepares it her way and shoves it back in my hand and gruffly tells me again to put it on him. I started to but by this time Diesel had enough of her BS and started to snarl and bark at her. she exclaimed "You should kill this dog" (her exact words) We left immediately but my girlfriend was very shaken and almost physical ill by her words and attitude. I felt Elizibeth is somewhat psychopathic. Thankfully, we found a real kennel nearby with real dog keepers that had no problems dealing with Diesel and dogs like him.
