New England Dog Training Club

New England Dog Training Club is the absolute best training in the area, and extremely affordable! They have a group of experienced trainers coming together to run this nonprofit club every week with as much care and passion as they show in their own training businesses, which is an incredible wealth of experience. Everyone works together and calls freely on each other for another viewpoint or advice, which creates a friendly and collaborative atmosphere from the top down. The students (of which I am one) are a fun, friendly group with a vast range of experience, from people with their first ever dog to lifelong handlers who compete in dog sports at a high level, and my elderly mutt is adored by all alongside beautiful show dogs in the same classes; all are equally welcome. They are uniquely prepared to handle difficult cases, including very anxious dogs and those with some reactivity. The trainers have the knowledge to keep everyone safe and create a positive environment that encourages every student to move at their own pace. My dog is one who needed a lot of extra help at the beginning and spent our first few weeks eating treats and panting anxiously in a corner they set up just for us, with visual barriers so she wasn't overwhelmed and trainers and interns who weren't busy dropping by to give us one on one attention and help us adjust. We are now a thriving team in their intro rally (a fun low-impact sport) classes, and my dog is one of the easygoing ones who doesn't mind barking puppies next to us. I cannot recommend NEDTC enough for the quality of training or the quality of people. It's a true community. They care about humans and dogs and take both parts of the teams seriously.

I can’t say enough about how pleased I am with the training our dogs Bentley and Winston received. Aili worked wonders with them, from the prompt response when I first reached out, to the daily texts and video of my Bentley and Winston. We are incredibly impressed by their new self-control and amazing leash manners and off-leach manners. Having my boys running off-leach and living their best life was what I wanted for them. I highly, highly recommend Aili; she is simply the best at what she does. Thank you so much to Aili and New England Dog Training Company!
