I had the pleasure of meeting Scott Dancer when we contacted him for our Pit Bull Roxie when he owned DC Dog Wizard . She was a very good dog but scared of everything which turned into aggression. After training with Scott and the pack she was more well mannered and trusting. Very attentive and really trying to be a more calm dog. Update: I enrolled my new pup in Scott’s 2Week Board and Train about a month ago and I’m really pleased with the results. Jax is a more confident dog and is learning how to be a well disciplined dog. I really Trust Scott and his training tactics. Jax also enjoys the group training on the weekends. It’s a great resource and outlet for us both. Thanks so Much Scott!

I adopted my dog and learned he didn't have the best first year of life. We struggled until Scott took a personal interest to help us! He helped us develop a life that we love! We could not be more grateful! You can see the evidence and Shirlington, Glencarlyn, and Clarendon Parks! Jenn and Bork 🖤❤

Scott was so great! We had our 5 month corgi doing boarding&training for 2 weeks. She learned so much such as leash training, place, off, drop it, and worked on her resource guarding. We also got 1-1 training with Scott on continuing her training at home! Another bonus, you get to go to Saturday group trainings which is super helpful and enjoyable for us and maple!

I can't say enough! Scott and Suzy were professional and great through my entire experience with them as they took me through training with my black lab, Avocado! In a matter of weeks, we found our rhythm together and she caught on to the training. Maybe at first I was hesitant because how did I know this was going to work. After cooridnating with Suzy quickly details and keeping communication, I felt at ease. After the first meet and then training with Scott, I knew I'd made the right move. Avocado went from lunging when seeing other dogs, eating everything on the ground and a ninja counter surfer to a pup that gained confidence. She listens to commands, walks properly and doesn't scare other dogs when walking down the street. In fact, my neighbors all have heard of this "great dog Avocado" when they meet her. She is great. All of this is definitely due to Scott, his patience, knowledge and thoughtfulness with her and me. As his counterpart, Suzy does a great job with keeping up schedules, operations and communications. Very professional establishment. We'll be in contact from now on...it's a lifetime process. Thanks Scott! Thanks Suzy!

Scott is a genius, full stop. He’s been so incredible with our puppy, Wrigley. He’s patient and firm, and he has an incredibly intuitive and sensitive understanding of dogs. He’s a great trainer of dogs and people! He has made Wrigley a more confident pup, which has empowered her as she grows. We can’t imagine not having hired him.
