Fast paced. Could use brief follow up videos of each class for easy reference when working with dog at home. I have received no videos since the first week. Weeks 2-6 had no follow-up. Total waste of time and money. I'll have to use u tube to teach myself and Lily.
I wonder how they decided who gets the follow-up videos and who doesn't. I certainly didn't receive any follow-up information..
Each class should have less information the current level is too much to memorize. A little well done is better than a flood of confusion without any real gain.
I'm sure the instructor is a good dog trainer but she is a poor trainer of dog owners.

We have used Polite Pooches services for training our dogs. The results have been excellent. We were there to purchase a new collar for one of our pooches and the people were nice and the cost was very reasonable.

Kathy and her team are absolutely amazing. I’ve taken two courses here, and each one has been incredibly helpful. If it weren’t for Kathy’s expertise, I wouldn’t have known my dog had luxating patella in both knees. I’m so thankful they caught it early so I can get it taken care of before any permanent damage occurs. They truly know their stuff, and the classes here are fantastic.

Kathy spent a lot of time with my traumatized pound dog trying to get him comfortable so he could be taught. And she gave me helpful training exercises.

Kathy has been a priceless resource of helping us train our new puppy. She encourages positive reinforcement and patience!
