I could rave for HOURS about this place. I can't even begin to explain how great of an experience my partner and I had with our dog Manny. We did 5 sessions of private training with Bethany and while Manny learned a lot and responded well, my partner and I learned the most. We feel super equipped to continue training with Manny in our own time. Bethany was so patient and kind, and she explained each training exercise in a way that was really easy to understand. She was always very receptive to our questions and made us feel very comfortable and confident dog owners! We paid around $1,000 for all 5 sessions but I can genuinely say it was worth the investment. Now that Manny graduated, we can participate in Saturday meetups with other dogs for life which really made the cost extra worth it for us. I know that what we invested will not go to waste and Manny will continue to grow in his training and behavior. Highly recommend all around!!

Gabby was very good with Mango. She was prompt when coming to my home and was able to train Mango simple and complicated commands. She even brought one of the foster pets ( Abby ) as a role model for Mango. We are very pleased with Gabby.

We can’t thank Bethany enough for a wonderful training experience for our puppy Boone! We did one on one training where we learned invaluable tools to take with us moving forward! Bethany is very much a professional in what she does, very patient as well! We felt very lucky to have had her as our trainer….Boone will miss her! We will be back!

Friendly trainers who are willing to take the time and answer questions! First time owing a dog as an adult and Juni(our trainer) was amazing. Our Eden loved the training and the treats! I love that even when the training sessions are done we still have an ongoing support group!
