The Doghouse, LLC

I highly recommend The Doghouse to anyone seeking professional and effective dog training. The trainer quickly built a bond with our 8-month-old German Shepherd that proved effective for their foundational course. Our baby girl is coming home much more obedient and well-mannered. We were also made completely at ease with leaving Lucy, based on their professionalism, approach to training, familiarity with the breeder, the periodic pictures, videos, their strong-supported staff, and training-for-parents lessons at the end! Check out their YouTube videos or schedule a visit.

I have a 2 1/2 year old Bernedoodle who went through the Reactive Rehab Program at The Doghouse and I could not be happier with Sadie’ behavior! My biggest hope was Sadie would develop the confidence in herself and me so we could enjoy going out together in public areas without her reacting poorly to people and animals. Since Sadie has been back we have been able to do just that. We go to farmer’s markets, downtown walks, lunch at cafes and stores where dogs are allowed. I have confidence in her and she in me and we are both living our best lives! I know I can text any questions that come up & I get a quick response from Carrie or Liz. I was apprehensive to leave Sadie for 3 weeks in the beginning, but my fears were totally unfounded, I wish I started the program earlier, she got the best care along with the best teachers! Thank you so much to everyone at the Doghouse❤️

Our labradoodle, Augie, was once a wild and crazy pup! We had a trainer come to our house weekly for months! Even though Augie did learn some commands, he was very unreliable at following them. He also picked up some frustrating habits around the house, like barking and pacing around the pool while anyone was swimming. He also barked and lunged at the door or window at guests or passersby. He pulled at his leash relentlessly during walks, even after purchasing special leashes, like a "cinch" leash or the Gentle Leader head harness. As he grew larger, his size and strength became difficult to manage. Although mostly a very lovable pet, he bit once and almost bit the groomer. He was also a pain at the vet. We were prescribed trazodone for "stressful situations", like grooming, vet visits, and boarding. We were so excited to bring Augie into our home as our first family dog, waiting until our youngest children, twins, were nine years old...yet we were quickly feeling frustrated and overwhelmed at his behavior and wildness. The kids didn't want to see him rehomed, but they also didn't enjoy him very much. Our weekly dog trainer suggested a more focussed and consistent approach and referred us to The Dog House, Llc. At our initial consultation with Carrie, the owner and one of the trainers, we learned that Augie was a "reactive" dog and would benefit from their reactive dog program. She was very straight with us about every step: the type of equipment they use, how likely they could train Augie successfully, and how the program worked. There was even some talk about Augie being "not right" like maybe just genetically off. Carrie explained that they would know in the first few days and would prorate our cost should they find he would not be successful in the program. When Augie was 18 months old, we dropped him off for his three week boarding school. That was September 14...Augie came home on Oct 7 like a new dog! HE'S PERFECT!!!! Carrie and Liz- Liz is the other trainer-are miracle workers. Augie is 85 lbs. of fluffy, obedient love! He knows and consistently obeys his commands, even when our kids or grandma gives them. If he does make a mistake, we now have the proper strategy and tools to correct him and get him immediately back on track. He's no longer a frustrating beast to have around the house, but the world's best dog. I'm 100% sure we'll never have to give him trazodone again. What we especially love about our experience with Carrie and Liz is how they really treat their canine students like family, checking in periodically and most beneficially offering three follow-up group classes in with the tuition. We have one left yet, but we will be registering for occasional group classes in the future, for accountability and consistency. Augie seems to love them. For a dog that used to bark or growl at other dogs, we are still blown away at how well he does literally side-by-side with a dozen other well-trained graduates of all breeds, ages, and sizes. It is absolutely worth the investment to have a happy dog and family for years to come! Thank you so much, Carrie and Liz and the team at the Dog House:-)
