I highly recommend The Puppy School! We brought a puppy home (unplanned) from an Indian Reservation in Montana. Roo from the Puppy School was the first to get back to me after contacting about 3-4 local businesses. Due to the puppy’s vaccine status Roo came to our house without any additional charge. The cost is already very affordable. Roo is so incredibly knowledgeable, so friendly and inclusive with our other dogs and so patient with us humans. Our puppy has grown leaps and bounds. He’s so smart and Roo at the Puppy School has taught me how to harness that intelligence to everyone’s benefit, especially our puppy. I will continue lessons at the Puppy School with all of our dogs. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Roo is a great instructor and trainer. She took the time to understand what we wanted from our time with her and focused her lessons on meeting those needs. One of our main goals was to ensure our dog listened to and responded to commands from our 4 year old child, and Roo was very helpful and included our kiddo in the lessons.

Absolutely the best training technique for your puppy/dog/ and YOU. The techniques taught at the puppy school are positive and encouraging. They truly enhance your relationship with your pup and give you confidence to continue with the proper techniques at home. My puppy attended the kinder program. I decided to continue our training with one-on-one private lessons to help me teach him to respond around people, dogs, and off/on leash. Roo is patient with humans and dogs, she is easy to understand and provides simple step-by-step guidance for success. Amazing value for the lifelong investment in your new family member.

Roo at The Puppy School is amazing! My 4 month old lab recently had a private off leash hour lesson and is doing great! I am thrilled with his quick progress and excited for our many hikes together. Thank you Roo!

We got a new puppy that is fearful of all things. She couldn't go to puppy classes because of her fear and flight patterns. Roo was so wonderful, she came to our house to help us within 24 hours of teaching out to her for help. Her guidance was incredibly helpful and helped us progress our dog within a week to be able to attend a puppy class. We are so incredibly grateful!
