Excellent experience and success beyond my expectations. I am impressed with Kabler School for dogs. The trainers are professional, educated and knowledgeable. I was educated with patience, my questions answered, concerns addressed, they were easliy accessible outside of training. Mars and Candy were so helpful and supportive while both Roo (white German shepherd) and my confidence has grown. As service dog, Roo has become proficient at her tasks and tuned up with her training, ready for her first in cabin flight across country! We will continue to learn, grow and tune up at Kabler School for dogs throughout Roo’s life. Great investment, I highly recommend for those serious about their puppy/dog’s growth, manners, happiness in addition to your bond.

We recently added a fur baby to our home, she’s our second Yorkie and the first puppy.

We recently added a fur baby to our home, she’s our second Yorkie and the first puppy. We had planned an extended trip not realizing she would be part of our family and knew that she would be missing the perfect time to be in training. We decided to put her into The board and train program at the Kabler School for dogs. It was the best decision we ever made as parents, we returned from our trip to a wonderful obedient terrier. We’ve had experience being manipulated by a small dog in the past and didn’t want that to happen again.

We've been using Kabler School For Dogs since our puppy was 10 weeks old. Thanks to Kabler we have the most amazing well behaved and fun loving dog imaginable who brings a smile to the face of everybody he interacts with including all the dogs wherever we go. He's now a certified service dog when working but a loving puppy when not working. Our next goal for Kai is to obtain his Canine Good Citizen certification as he just knows when someone isn't well and brings joy to those needing hug. We are so glad we found Kabler School for Dogs. Thanks for everything.

While I don't agree with everything they tell us, I believe they make a significant contribution to my puppy's happiness. They are very kind, give her lots of great treats & are extremely patient with all the pups. They all seem to want to do everything they are presented with. With the reinforcement at home, we know our pup has benefited. Cost is somewhat high, but when you see their facility & how the dogs respond, it's worth the price. And, at home, MG can't wait to do her "exercises" twice a day, and gets so excited when I say it's time to do them. All so, so positive!

We rescued our first-ever puppy at 5 months old. From the moment Samwise entered our lives, we fell in love with him—but quickly realized we were in over our heads. For the first couple of months, I was worn down by his extreme energy and “mouthy” Lab tendencies, and I struggled to meet his needs. YouTube videos alone just couldn’t fulfill the training and guidance he (and we!) truly needed. As he grew rapidly, we knew we had to get serious about his training. Choosing Kabler School for Dogs was such a blessing. The trainers are incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the whole process. My husband and I were completely new to dog training, and we were walked through everything—from the absolute basics, like holding a leash properly in different situations, to gently easing into using proper collars in combination, and far beyond to the most advanced commands. Transitioning into park sessions with the school has been an absolute joy. We are so much more comfortable + connected on our walks now! We learned how to communicate so much more effectively with Sam, and now I feel like our bond is closer, stronger, and sweeter than ever— which wasn’t something I expected as an outcome of this experience! Sam absolutely loved going to school. It’s been completely transformative. Thanks Bennett, Candy, + David!
