I have nothing but positive things to say about Thurman's Place! We knew we wanted to send our puppy (Ollie) for training when we got him in March. I am so glad we were connected to a place as incredible as Thurman's. Ollie LOVED his time there and came back knowing so much. He loves when he gets to go back to play and for grooming. I am so glad we chose Thurman's Place and recommend it to everyone who has a dog - young and old. Truly the best place with the most incredible trainers!

Karen and her team at Thurman’s Place are miracle workers! They made such a positive impact on our dog during his training. We continue to go back for boarding and groom and play because they are so wonderful. They really know our dog and give him personalized treatment and care every time he is there. We are so appreciative of them and will be lifelong customers!

This was the best decision I ever made for my dog. This training completely changed my relationship with her. I am so thankful and grateful for everything that this team does and we continue to visit, stay and use their services. Would 100% recommend this to any new dog owner or anyone that has a dog that needs additional training.

Thurman’s place is amazing! Their communication is great, and quick! The process and systems they have in place to train a dog are top notch. We are so glad we invested in this training for our dog. She does great on walks now and is a much better listener and respects the rules of the house. 10/10 recommend Thurman’s to anyone looking to get their dog trained!

Thurman's Bites are a hit with our Labradoodle, Annie! So far she has tried Venison and Chicken, and loves them both! We love Thurman's Place and Thurman's Bites are the perfect addition to an already stellar business.
