We were visiting my parent in the Villages recently and on short notice decided to head to The Keys for Thanksgiving. The only issue we had.... what to do with our pups. Both are middle-aged and do not do well in large kennels. So after a bit of Internet Research, we found Stephanie at The Dog Training Spot. Although she specializes in dog training for residents of The Villages, she occasionally will board dogs during holidays at her place. From the moment our pups met Stephanie, they were absolutely at-ease with her and so were we. Our pups were there for a week and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Stephanie is a special dog trainer who can take dogs she's never met and make them feel like her place..... is their place!!

Stephanie did an amazing job training our puppy, SiSi! SiSi used to bark at everyone and every dog who passed by our house. With Stephanie’s training SiSi gives a welcoming soft bark (growl). Her tail is always up and wagging, never lowered or afraid. We can now walk a happy walk, SiSi no longer pulls on the leash and our walk is not all about her. Stephanie is planning to offer group classes and we will be there for additional training and hope to meet you there! If you are having any problems with your puppy please call Stephanie.
awesome trainer who you can tell really cares and keeps you informed all the way through. thanks stephanie!
Stephanie the dogs whisper 🥰 we never be able to take our dog to walk around a lot of people before because she so nervous and overactive. After 3 weeks of training she calm and relaxed and we went to the square enjoy our walk and be able to sit down with the crowd, that was amazing 👏
