Joey and I are incredibly grateful to the NW Dog Trainer team. When we first started, I was anxious every time we went out in public. Their guidance gave us the confidence to overcome that fear. They took the time to understand Joey’s unique needs and taught me effective techniques to correct his behavior. I also appreciated their flexibility with scheduling, which made a huge difference for us. I’m proud to say that Joey has made significant progress since we began, and I’m excited to continue his training journey with them.
These guys are great! From Day One at Northwest Dog Trainer, you are working on fundamentals that will be used throughout the relationship with your dog(s). After a few 1:1 lessons, you join group sessions and see the results of their training in action. I wish I had reached out to them earlier.
Wow, Northwest Dog Trainer is the real deal. Jeremy and Marcus are talented trainers - not just with dogs, but their owners. We were having on-leash behavioral issues with our Doberman puppy, Decaf. They helped us fine tune our approach to training and it was a complete game changer. I highly recommend NWDT, 100% worth the time and money.
