Wonderful and knowledgeable staff who help owners train their dogs from all levels from first time owners to those who've had dogs all their lives. Each class is tailored to certain tricks that grow with the class and at the end they go over a theme. Such as toys, grooming, etc. And have examples of each for people to try with their pet during the class. There are multiple trainers so each dog can be observed to ensure everything is going well.

I’d highly recommend Polite Pooches for your dog training needs! Kathy really took the time to understand our concerns and shared a very detailed training, and feeding, plan to help us. We’ve been implementing for a little over a week and things are going great. Our puppy is happier, following commands, and we’ve had zero potty accidents in our home. Talk about success! We’re so happy with the progress and looking forward to future sessions.
