South Mountain Dog Training

Training area was too small for the number of puppies accepted into their puppy training program. I was disappointed because I attended in part for puppy socialization which really was never addressed or discussed. I dropped out after 5 weeks because my dog just could not focus on their training methods. They were knowledgeable but their training methods did not work for my puppy. One of their comments was that if the dog ahead of you was not moving fast enough go around them. That would cause my dog to want to greet the overcoming dog and/or the dog ahead of us, and lose even more focus on walking at the end of a leash. If you needed to step aside to work with your dog there wasn't enough room

Our puppy, Percy, graduated last night from puppy kindergarten. This is our 5th dog and hands down the best program we have attended to get started with a new puppy. Krista and Lauren were sooo good at explaining, reinforcing, educating, and making it fun. Some basics were learned but more importantly was building that foundation between you and your puppy so that he learns to listen and for his safety to obey. Thanks One note is that the classroom is up a short flight of stairs. I am mobile challenged so it was a little tough climbing stairs.
