FirstBarkRowdy is a Great Pyrenees mix. Abby and Esmeralda did an excellent work with Rowdy and with me. They answered all of my questions concerning training. The videos helped my husband and I to duplicate the training at home. Highly recommended!

Mollie’s dog place is great! The methods used for training are easy to implement and have helped our adopted dog transition smoothly into our home. Shadow loves going to training. When we first started he was terrified to get in the car, but now he is excited to get into the car and go to Mollie’s! They have provided many helpful training tips and ideas for managing behaviors in a positive manner. I would highly recommend their program!
We adopted a second pug, Cole, in December and he's around 2 years old. We don't think Cole had any training prior as we tried to teach him basic commands like "sit" on our own with no luck.

We adopted a second pug, Cole, in December and he's around 2 years old. We don't think Cole had any training prior as we tried to teach him basic commands like "sit" on our own with no luck. When searching for a place to take Cole for training, I was impressed by the other reviews Mollie's had received & the pricing for services were better than others on the area. We went to a meet & greet orientation in early February and have been hooked ever since! Cole LOVES going to Mollie's. We started Cole in Manners 101 and a few classes in he FINALLY learned sit....he was stubborn 😊 And now he sits like a boss 😎 Cole is a smart cookie and has progressed through each Manners level; he recently began Manners 301 and is working towards taking the Good Canine Citizen test. Mollie's has done wonders for our ability to communicate with Cole effectively and has strengthened our bond with him. They use positive training methods and integrate fun, applicable to the real-world activities into each class. When holidays come up, the class activities are holiday themed - I included photos from St. Patrick's Day 😊 We have started to take Cole to their Agility classes too for some fun 😊 He has no fear and is super tired after Agility classes. Esmeralda is the lead trainer & owner, and her knowledge, patience, and guidance has been invaluable as we progressed through the Manners classes. The other trainers we've worked with on staff, Abbi & Caroline, bring their own unique skills and guidance that have helped us with Cole in both Manners and Agility. As a pug parent in Texas, I'm also looking forward to utilizing the open gym time during the hot summer months to keep Cole and our other pug, Maggie, from going stir crazy at our house & give them a safe, climate-controlled space to exert themselves. I highly recommend Mollie's for all your dog training and play needs. No need to continue searching on Google, go sign up for a meet & greet orientation at Mollie's!
Mollie’s has been the perfect place for our Labradoodle, Pixie! Esmerelda and Abbi are wonderful with all of the dogs, and Pixie absolutely loved her days there. She learned commands, learned to socialize with other dogs, and had so much fun on her “school days”. We would highly recommend Mollie’s for your dog training needs.
Mollie’s Dog place made a HUGE DIFFERENCE in our rascally Bernedoodle’s behavior. He went from a wild puppy to a civilized member of our family. We did 2 sessions of puppy school and wish we could have done more.
