I have taken a wide array of classes with them in the last year and a half, starting with puppy classes and then trying to see what resonates most with my dog. Who cares what I think - my dog loves it! He is excited to go, loves all three trainers, and he is learning so much! Highly recommend for anything from basic puppy manners to a wide array of dog sports and activities. If you don't see what you're looking for, reach out - class topics change and they do private sessions as well.

5/5
I have taken classes with my dogs and everytime had a wonderful and productive experience. My dogs also thoroughly love exploring the SniffSpot where they run all out and explore the many enrichment items. The grounds are spotless and well kept. I'd give 10 stars if I could. Thank you Katherine and Staff!
