Carla Moser and her Doggieology team are real-life dog whisperers. Their approach to training goes beyond many command and control methods to teach you something far more important: how to build and maintain a relationship of trust and leadership between you and your dog. Our dog Fergus recently completed a 3 week stay and train ... and we probably learned as much as Fergus did. Really can't say enough. So we'll just say thank you, thank you, thank you! And Fergus says woof, woof, woof!

We can’t say enough good things about Doggieology and the entire crew! Such a wonderful and informative program. Our sweet pup was there for a 2 week stay and train, and he is doing great so far afterwords.! I love how they build on your relationship with the dogs and truly build a solid foundation for the future with your pup. I will definitely be recommending Doggieology to anyone in the future.

Carla and everyone took in my 4 year old rescue German Shepherd for three weeks because I’d been having problems with him getting along with other pups. He was weird with them and would trigger them on walks and at parks. Carla and her pack helped him learn boundaries with other dogs, and how to better understand what the dogs were messaging to him. She let me know specifics about his personality and how it impacts his play and interaction style. We went over dog body language and how to spot when he causes issues. It was really an amazing experience. Not only did my pup get to learn better how to properly interact with other dogs, I got to learn how to keep my eyes open for indications that he’s being a weirdo again! They consistently sent videos of him playing and having a great time, which was such a peace of mind. I would recommend Doggieology to anyone who needs help with training and understanding their pup. Their depth of knowledge is extraordinary. Worth every penny!!

Our family has trusted Carla and her team for the past 9 years for training/boarding/day care. Our two dogs absolutely love going Doggieology 101.

The staff at Doggieology 101 are the best! Our 10-month-old Golden Retriever, River, was in the stay-and-train program for a few weeks. Carla, Suzanne, and Amaya sent video and picture updates during his stay and also included training information that I can refer back to. Communication was great also - text, email, messenger, and in-person. They did a fantastic job with River and provided great information to continue his training at home. The facility and yards are very clean. I would love to replicate what I would call the "enrichment" yard at my home - tree limb tee-pees, elevated dog walks, and lots of sniffy spaces. River loved it.
