My husband and I used them to train our new belgian malinois puppy and we were super impressed with the results. We will bring all of our future pets here from now on.

I had to go on a work trip for a month and decided to leave them with misfits. Best decision ever. My dogs came back completely house trained and more relaxed. They made sure I had all the tools I needed to continue the training too.

We have a rescue dog, Bailey who was fearful and somewhat aggressive. After researching & talking to several board & train programs, we chose Misfits because it seemed like the best fit for her needs. After 3.5 weeks with Zoe and her team, she is a much more confident & well behaved dog. We are now able to take her out to social events & have guests and their dogs at our house without the stress of Bailey being aggressive towards them. I highly recommend Misfits Dog Training to anyone looking to improve their relationship and quality of life for their furry best friend! 😁

My 1 year old dog had a lot of behavioral issues and had pretty much taken our household hostage with her barking. She was highly reactive to people and dogs. I had taken her to one training place for an evaluation and they said they wouldn't even consider lessons and that we should consider doggy prozac and a behavioralist vet. Since then I found John at Misfits and he has done an amazing job. I love his balanced approach to training and that it isn't a one size fits all. Now when we go to parks I get compliments on how well behaved my dog is. ❤️

We can’t thank John and Zoe at Misfits Dog Training enough for the incredible work they did with our unruly boxer Cash.Before training, he was wild, stubborn, and hard to control—but now he’s like a whole new dog. John and Zoe were patient, knowledgeable, and completely committed to helping us and our boxer succeed. Their training approach was clear, effective, and full of real-world advice we could actually use at home. We’re so grateful for their help and highly recommend Misfits to anyone struggling with a difficult dog!
