FitHound Puppy & Dog Training

Cari is AMAZING! She uses all positive reinforcement so your dog is trained to your commands. My labradoodle trained with her from puppy classes up to Canine Good Citizen and he is now a certified therapy dog. Cari helped me with my very hyper Sheepadoodle so he could learn to wait and listen to me, rather than spazzing out at every distraction. Cari is now helping my daughter with a rescue who has some issues. Cari is patient, kind and clearly loves dogs. She makes class fun and has a wonderful sense of humor. I have worked with other trainers in the past and she is hands down the best I have ever worked with. I highly recommend her - she is fabulous!!!!!

Cari does a great job working with you and your dog or puppy. She makes it a positive experience for both. She is always willing to answer questions and help you with difficult behaviors. The training is all done with positive reinforcement. Cari also works with Sue, another trainer, in Nosework classes. This is a very fun activity for you and your dog. Just watching their natural instincts take over when searching for a scent is a pretty cool thing. Our dogs get so excited when they are going to Nosework class. Thanks Cari and Sue.

I've gone to Cari for training classes for the 7+ years that I've had my rescue Aussie, Dutchie. She is a wonderful trainer, I've learned some very valuable methods and ways to work through the issues my boy had, using all positive reinforcement rather than aversive training methods that are likely to compound any issues. I contine to attend at least one of her classes every year to reinforce the bond and connection I have with Dutchie. He has come so far and is now one of the best dogs we have had the privilege of living with.
