Our doodle was overly excited when we welcomed our baby girl to the family in the fall. The Dog Knowledge was able to get our pup into a training class quickly, and Debbie and Dennis ensured us from the evaluation that she would learn the skills and commands to safely be in our home. I’m so happy to say that they were absolutely right. Our dog is home and so well behaved. We couldn’t say enough great things about The Dog Knowledge and the peace they have provided for our family!

We sent our 6 month old Australian Labradoodle to be trained and boy did we get lucky! We were extremely nervous to leave him and missed him greatly for those 4 weeks, but WOW. He's calm, attentive, knows commands...yet was still his loving, sweet, energetic self. He went back for boarding about 2 weeks later, and they let him join in more training classes. Then we had an in-home followup which was awesome! I cannot say enough good things about his trainer, Becky. He was SOOOOO excited to see her. We got more tips and training tricks specific to our home and family life. You can tell from the minute you walk into the facility that the dogs are the top priority. Highly recommend Dog Knowledge.

I just picked up my Lab after her 4-week training program at The Dog Knowledge, and I couldn’t be happier. She’s a high-energy dog, and they did an incredible job helping her build focus and really strengthen her house obedience. I can already see such a positive difference in how she listens and settles at home. The team was wonderful throughout the entire process—patient, communicative, and clearly invested in her success. I’m excited to keep the momentum going with Sunday training sessions and to continue using their boarding/daycare. Truly so thankful for the care and training she received!

The training that The Dog Knowledge offers has been pivotal for our household. We have gone from total Chaos to Calm and enjoyable and our walks are have gone from reactive to controlled, calm and enjoyable. Kevin and I are communicating better and I am now able to give him the mental exercise he needs on top of the physical exercise. The trainers have been so great at offering ongoing suggestions and help since Kevin has come home. I love that all of the staff is on the same page so no matter who your dog is working with they are all exposing the pups to the same training. As well as you can take advantage of on going training for the life of your pup. I cannot say enough about how grateful we are to have found The Dog Knowledge.

After a lot of research we chose TDK for puppy training and could not be happier. We loved the weekly updates and photos. She came home with great instructions, home visits and videos to watch to keep the good habits going. She settled back into our home with no problems. We will soon be boarding club members and look forward to future visits at TDK.
