Specialty Dog Training

Wow! Sending my dog Cody here for the 4 week boot camp was absolutely worth it! Seeing him home demonstrating his new skills and behaving so well honestly brought tears to my eyes! From the initial consultation, to picking him up, the staff and Cody's trainer ( Becca) were professional and friendly the whole way through! I received pictures/videos and progress updates throughout Cody's time at specialty dog training, and it was really nice to see the hard work him and Becca were putting in. I've had such a great experience here, I'll be sending my other dog here too!(:

Graham and his team are one of the most dedicated training teams you could find. We have a strong willed mastiff puppy who was proving a difficult challenge in both behavior and obedience. Despite our best efforts home training we were at a loss. Graham, Chris and Dustin all teamed up to help us get our boy in the right direction. They have given us methods, tools, and training to help us work through our puppy’s issues. I’m honestly tearing up writing this. I’m forever grateful to the team at Specialty Dog Training. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Graham Bloem and his Specialty Dog Training Team are the best in the business! I searched globally for a year for my canine companion to enjoy the golden years. Having family pets throughout my life, I knew that the choice I made was similar to adopting a child. I had very specific needs on my want list: Breed, sex, age, specialty training, physical characteristics, personality, and, most of all, a family member to love and be loved by all who visit our home. Graham went above and beyond my expectations in his personal involvement in my case. The result was perfect. Reina, the queen of our hacienda. Our lab retriever, with a heart of gold, trained like a service dog, yet full of playful energy and joy.

Let me start by saying I am not the kind of person to overstate, or hype a business/service unless I REALLY feel it deserves it. That is the case with Specialty Dog Training. HUGE shout out to Dustin, who trained our Giant Schnauzer puppy Odin. When we dropped Odin off he was a completely unruly 7 month old puppy. Nothing short of a wild animal living in the house with us. My wife and I were at our wits end with trying to train him ourselves. We even wasted over a thousand dollars trying to work with an in home trainer, but nothing would take. Specialty Dog Training puppy bootcamp came at the recommendation of a work colleague. I had witnessed the change in his dog first hand, and we decided to dive in and give Odin the opportunity to become the companion we so desperately wanted him to be. Odin is a completely different dog now, in all the best ways. He is SO well behaved and well mannered. Even his regular vet noticed a massive difference. They couldn't believe it was the same dog. No more jumping on the counters, no jumping on people, will stay in his "place" bed until given his release command, sits, downs, stays...it's like a dream come true. Specialty Dog Training was 100% worth it. We will be recommending this place to everyone we know who either has, or is planning to add a dog to their life. We cannot thank Dustin, and specialty dog training enough for what they have done to our sweet boy and for our family because of it.

Our trainer Alayna was amazing. Our sweet but unruly one year old dog named Tank spent a month in boot camp. He came out so well behaved, with amazing manners, commands and our small kids have even been able to get him to listen. Alayna was patient, kind, treated Tank as part of her family and sent us great updates on his progress while in camp. Highly recommend both Specialty Dog training and Alayna who was the ultimate professional. Tank still has his sweet personality but is much more obedient.
