See Spot Think! dog training

When we got a second dog, we were looking for someone to help us train him. We found See Spot Think - and liked how it was supposed to be a balanced approach to getting your dog to do the right thing. Our new family member was (and is) quite a handful - but with a big heart - and help from Cindy not only set us on the right track, we feel we have the tools to keep up with a puppy as he develops into an adult. Also the Puppy Playtime was invaluable in teaching us and the dog what play is and looks like - and what isn't play and shouldn't continue. I highly recommend See Spot Think for new dog owners (and continuing when the dog becomes an adolescent and adult)!

Cindy at See Spot Think dog training opened my eyes to a whole new, wonderful way of relating to my dogs, and whenever anyone asks me about dog training, I send them to the See Spot Think website. I first came to SST with my hound puppy for puppy play group, where we had a wonderful time, every single time. Each puppy was carefully and lovingly assessed and placed with other like-minded puppies, so that play was safe and enjoyable for everyone. Observation of play styles was constant, and adjustments were made if necessary, so that as there were slight changes as puppies developed, play buddies and locations could change, too. My puppy and I enjoyed play group so much that we signed up for Puppy Kindergarten and then went on to Puppy Two, if that's the next level. Along the road, I learned so much that it's now hard to shut me up about dog training, and the learning and relationship-building continue with other dogs (and my hound puppy, approaching age five now, often helps me). I cannot recommend Cindy and SST highly enough. She's got credentials from some of the best trainers in the world, and she continues to keep abreast of new research and methods, and takes advantage of opportunities for higher learning. 100% trustworthy, with a fun approach--the best investment you'll make in the relationship you have with your dog.

We loved our experience with See Spot Think! We got our puppy at 6 weeks old with little experience on raising puppies. I called Cindy when I was feeling extremely overwhelmed. Cindy was so very calming and knowledgable. She recommended enrolling our yellow lab, Maizie, into Puppy Kindergarten as well as check out Puppy Playtime. We could not be more thrilled with the outcomes. Through the classes, ours were taught by Celeste, and playtime ran by Cindy, we were able to learn positive ways to train Maizie. Now at almost 2 years old, she has a wonderful disposition, is super cuddly, and gets along wonderfully with many other animals and children. I would recommend See Spot Think! to all!

See Spot Think dog training is the best! I have trained all four of my dogs with Cindy and Celeste. Their training methods are effective and based on current scientific research. They are very experienced trainers who use positive reinforcement (NOT force or pain). In addition to their knowledge of the best practices in dog training, they are excellent with people! Likeable, gentle, understanding, approachable. I highly recommend them. You and your dog will be very happy with See Spot Think!!

Best dog trainers in town! I grew up with dogs and my parents were the ones that took the dogs to classes, the result was that the dogs didn't listen to me and my siblings as well and we had no clue what we were doing when interacting with the dogs. One of my favorite things about Cindy and Celeste is their family approach to training and openness to teach not only the adults how to train but also how to help our children interact with the dogs and keep it a positive experience for the dogs and the children! I've worked with both trainers in class settings as well as one on one and their personal touch and interest in getting to know you and your dog is part of what I think makes them so successful, they don't treat every dog and every situation the same and can offer many techniques to help you find the one that works best for you and your puppy. I'm also grateful for their willingness to answer questions via email or phone as I had situation come up that I hadn't experienced before and it was very helpful to get a pro's take on it! Our lab Charger (1 year old) showed tremendous growth thanks to one on one sessions with Celeste and what I had learned previously with both Cindy and Celeste I look forward to continuing his training and recommend See Spot Think to anyone I know with dogs!
