Mollie's Dog Place offers many high-quality classes and options for you and your pup. I took my now 2.5 year old rescue to classes for about a year, and the work Esmerelda and her staff did with us was incredible. I gained so much confidence and my dog LOVED going! The experience was empowering in so many ways. Esmerelda is dedicated not only to educating well-trained dogs and supporting owners, she is a genuinely nice person that gives back to her community. I appreciate her and Mollie's Dog Place so much!!

I have had a wonderful experience here with my puppy! She has become comfortable to go to so many new locations and remain calm and focused with the different stimulus present.

I can’t recommend Mollie’s Dog Place enough!! I adopted a 1 year old Great Dane who was not properly socialized and experienced some abuse so she is a very nervous, reactive dog. We have only had 3 private sessions but they have already made such a big difference for her (and me!). We learned basic skills to build on and how to redirect in a reactive situations. And our trainer, Esmerelda, is so kind and made our sessions fun. I’m excited to start in group sessions! I also love the ease that the website provides for finding the class schedules and signing up for them.

When I first adopted my dog, Cooper, he was just under a year old and was very shy and timid. I could tell he had some training (he knew how to sit) but that he was also very nervous around new people and especially around other dogs. Since I am a new pet owner, I wanted to make sure that he was a well behaved dog, but more importantly I wanted to build his confidence and trust between me and him. I decided to take him to Mollie's because of there culture of positive reinforcement, the great pricing, and the large selection of classes. Because of Cooper's reactivity, the staff at Mollie's and I decided that he would do best starting in private training sessions where we could work on managing his reactivity while continuing to work on his basic manners. After working through private lessons, he has now progressed to group lessons and is able to continue working on his skills and reactivity with other dogs present! His confidence has sky-rocketed, he is so much more open to meeting new people and dogs, and LOVES working on his new skills both in class and at home. Esmeralda and Abbi are amazing instructors! They are patient with the dogs (and owners) and provide specific feedback in class to help each dog reach their max potential. They integrate applicable real-life situations to class, create a fun learning environment, and re-enforce that every dog in class is working at their own level and celebrate every small victory! Cooper loves going to school and I highly recommend Mollie's Dog Place for all of your training needs!
