Questions & answers

What people have asked about this business.

I would love to bring my dog in for training, but am worried about costs. For more expensive programs, such as the power program, do you offer payment plans?

Please call us at 812-948-2120 to schedule a Free Evaluation for you and your dog. We will go over all your options for how to get the results you need within your budget. Easiest for a tight budget is one private lesson each time money allows, or your dog can start a large program once your payments have covered the full cost. We also offer financing now through US Bank (you can get preapproved by clicking the link on our website). We look forward to meeting you at your free evaluation.

My dog barks at everyone. Today a man was petting her and when he turned away she bit him. She is a German Shepherd lab mix. Can you help us and how much do you charge. That is the first time she has bit anyone.

You should call them and set up an appointment. They do a free evaluation. I highly recommend Duffy's.

Terrible service

This place is wonderful! I've been taking my 4 month old Beagle for 2 weeks of dayschool. The difference in her behavior is nothing short of amazing. Their drop off and pickup hours are flexible which is nice. Everyone of the trainers we've met are super friendly and knowledgeable. The owner, Mr. Duffy, is awesome! He wrote a book that is super helpful. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Abuse abuse abuse. We went for a free consultation and the type of training they described and demonstrated was clearly fear tactics and physical punishments to scare the dogs. The dog they brought in as a demonstration was CLEARLY terrified and shaking. My dog was doing very well and they were still jerking her around with a slip collar. I am fearful about what they may be doing when the owners are not around to the dogs. After the consultation we read more into this place and they have several abuse allegations . Please don’t take your dogs here. They claim that positive reinforcement is not adequate or quick way to train and there are more studies out there that show clearly that this is not the case. There is no need to jerk or use a shock collar on your dog to train them well. BEWARE

Duffy acted weird and disrespectful to my dad, most unpleasant experience ever, didn't even get to train my dog.
