FirstBarkIt was such a wonderful, fun experience for my dog and I. We built up our confidence level with each other and learned manners. I would for sure recommend Mollie's to help with basic training and which builds up confidence in being able to take my dog out in public. I'm looking forward to more training from Mollie's!

Our four year old Australian Shepherd rescue dog and I just finished our 12th class at Mollie's Dog Place and we plan to be back for more. I left a raving review on Facebook after our "first day of school," but I can't say enough good things about all that is offered by Esmerelda and Jennifer at Mollie's, so here I am! I feel confident training our dog, but she needed more socialization and going to classes is a fun way to get that + challenge ourselves and try new things. Within the first six pack of classes we earned our dog's Canine Good Citizen and Novice Trick Dog title (we practice a lot at home, too). Then I was inspired to test for her Farm Dog Certification (outside of Mollie's), which she aced with perfect scores. Our next goal is to earn her ACT (Agility Course Test) title and I'm confident we can do it thanks to the foundation our classes have provided. Esmerelda and Jennifer are both really special, one in a million people. They are so kind, friendly & professional and do a superb job of leading training classes. They offer just the right balance of suggestions/corrections and praise with plenty of patience and encouragement for people and dogs who are learning. I was not expecting to have so much FUN at classes, but it's been amazing and really a gateway to doing all kinds of things with my dog. It's incredibly heart warming and inspiring to see so many people and dogs getting needed training and just enjoying each other. I'm SO happy Mollie's exists. Can't recommend this place enough - THANK YOU Esmerelda and Jennifer!
Great customer service and very experienced!
My two dogs and I love Mollie's Dog Place in Waco. My 'little' rescue puppy turned in to a big, strong dog. I was worried I wouldn't be able to handle him.

My two dogs and I love Mollie's Dog Place in Waco. My 'little' rescue puppy turned in to a big, strong dog. I was worried I wouldn't be able to handle him. But, with Esmeralda and Jennifer's help he has turned into a great dog. We also love the agility, tricks, and manners classes. My Sheltie earned the AKC Tricks Award and both dogs will be taking their AKC Good Citizen test. I'm sure they'll pass! They are also offering puppy training. I highly recommend Mollie's.
Esmerlda is fabulous! I recommend her training facility for all dogs, big or small.
