We had an amazing experience with Precision Dog Training! I have a two year old Golden Retriever, Louie, who struggled with leash reactivity and resource guarding. After completing the board and train program, the progress we’ve seen has been incredible!
My biggest concern about sending Louie away was that he would come back with a different personality. He is such a goofy, sweet dog, and I didn’t want to lose that. Thankfully, he came home as the exact same dog we love just with more structure, confidence, and better manners.
Kennedi was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does and truly cares about the dogs she works with. She took such great care of Louie, kept us updated, and made us feel confident that he was in great hands. It was clear from the start that she took the time to get to know him and tailor the training to his specific needs.
Highly recommend if you are considering sending your dog to Precision

Gauge and I had a great training experience at Precision Dog Training. Gauge arrived a reactive wild child and completed his training as a well behaved, mindful pup. I was trained as much as Gauge was. We still have some homework to do, but we have a solid base to work from and Gauge and I are both happier. Our experience couldn’t have been better. The trainers and staff were so kind, professional, and supportive. Definitely give them a trial.

Madi did an absolutely incredible job with my six month old rowdy Giant Schnauzer. When I brought her in she had no manners, listened to no commands, and would absolutely not do a thing she didn't feel like doing. When she'd get frustrated she'd bark as loud as she could manage, leading to early hearing loss for everyone around. I was at a loss, my other dogs have always been so much more easily trained and so much less obstinate.
Don't get me wrong my dog is still seven months old, she's still a lunatic. However, she sits and stays and I have a "place" for her in the house that she reliably waits on until I tell her she can move. The barking is gone within reason (she'll still bark when strangers come to the door, which is fine, I wouldn't want her to never bark.) When we're on walks she heels and she'll sit still while another dog goes past. It's been wonderful. I can't thank Madi enough.

We cannot recommend Precision Dog Training enough, especially our trainer Emily!
When we brought our Golden Retriever, Goose, to training, our biggest challenge was his constant play biting. He was a high-energy puppy who struggled with impulse control, jumping, and listening when he got excited. The transformation has been incredible. His play biting has improved dramatically and is now rarely an issue, his walking skills are so much better, and overall he is a much more obedient and enjoyable dog to be around.
Goose still has plenty of energy to go around, but now it’s manageable energy. We have the tools and confidence to work with him, and he understands what is expected of him. The training didn’t just help Goose—it helped us become better dog owners, too.
One of the things we appreciate most about Precision Dog Training is the follow-up support. You don’t truly know what life with your dog will be like until they’re back home in their normal environment. Being able to schedule follow-up sessions, ask questions, and troubleshoot challenges with Emily has been incredibly valuable and gave us so much confidence throughout the process.
Emily has been absolutely wonderful to work with. She genuinely cares about the dogs and their families, and we’ve loved building a relationship with her throughout this journey. Goose gets so excited every time he gets to go back and see Miss Emily, which says everything about the care and trust she builds with the dogs she works with.
We are forever grateful to Emily and the entire Precision Dog Training team for helping Goose become the best version of himself. Thank you for everything!
