The Art of Dog

David and his employees at The Art of Dog are some of the most knowledgeable individuals I have met in regards to dog training. I have had the pleasure of seeing dogs trained here transform into well behaved and obedient animals. It’s amazing to see the improvement and joy between the dogs and their owners after even a short time spent here. The protocols, practices, knowledge and expertise is impressive and I wouldn’t go anywhere else for future dog training! Thank you!!!

Just picked my dog up and all I can say is WOW. We sent our German shepherd for reactivity issues, and just some training refresh. I became obsessed with watching updates on instagram, she looked so happy! Marisa did her final training with me (really to train me) and I was in shock/ happy tears while we walked past other dogs and she remained calm. In the past I’d have to take different ways if dogs were around, or just stay home far too often. They provided her with the confidence to not lunge or bark. We did our first pack walk yesterday with 2 other dogs and I’ve never felt so happy! She enjoyed herself for the first time without anxiety of other animals. I couldn’t be happier with her progress and the work they did with her. Highly recommended!

The team at Art of the Dog made my deaf 5 year old pup a much more confident and well behaved dog. As Angel got older, her anxiety and therefore reactivity worsened. I was at a loss with her stubbornness and reactions and it was starting to put a strain on our relationship. We had used a trainer before, but it was unsuccessful for a myriad of reasons. This was the first time I considered a board and train, and as an anxious dog mom, I was very worried. Dave and his team considered all of my worries and goals from the very start. I felt comfortable with her being away because of their frequent posts/updates— I could see that Angel was loving it! Of course, one of the biggest aspects of training is training the owner, and I felt adequately prepared to keep up her training after her 3 weeks. Angel is a much happier dog, and I have the tools necessary to effectively communicate with her. I am so grateful to Art of the Dog, and wish I had reached out to them sooner! Thank you so much.
