Life is dog, Inc

If I could separate the reviews per service, I would. - The group training classes: five stars The team members are so kind, knowledgeable, and truly care about each dog that comes into the classes. While it is a group, the classes feel individualized to what your puppy needs as they progress through the levels. Do not hesitate to sign up for group training! - The day camp: three stars Our eight month old puppy started daycare because we thought this might be an opportunity for her to further develop her socialization skills with other dogs. Unfortunately, she was barking too much, so we were told it wasn’t a good fit. We understand and respect that our puppy feels stressed in this environment and Life is Dog is not the right day camp for her. What led to the three star rating is: **When I asked how we can fix these behaviors at home they said they didn’t know: “We haven’t found a fix for that yet, but we do offer dog walking. Day camp isn’t for her.” As she is still very young, I do believe her behaviors can be adapted and wish we were given productive feedback to continue to develop her socialization. **On her second to last day, I watched other dogs being given holiday ornaments and treats by the staff when they got picked up. When it was our turn, our pup simply had her bad report card. While she barks a lot there, it still stung a little bit that she wasn’t considered deserving of holiday cheer.

I highly recommend Life is Dog for dog training classes. The classes are small and the trainers take the time to get to know (and love!) each dog. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. The trainers are there to help you work with your dog and not simply to teach a one size fits all strict method of training. This flexibility has helped the training of my puppy to be successful. The people associated with Life is Dog are terrific!
