FirstBarkI have several dogs at very different learning levels at this facility. All the trainers have been extremely helpful with figuring out what each of my dog's need. Training is always so fun yet still challenging! I've gone through manners 1, 2, & 3, puppy training, barn hunt, and LOTS of private sessions. Looking forward to exploring more programs as we grow and learn.

I was in from Michigan and wanted to practice my Barn Hunt so I called What a Great Dog and booked training with Victoria. She was fabulous! and the facility was very nice as well. So glad I did this. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Wonderful puppy class. Matthew is a great instructor for this class.
I took my little puppy Eleanor for manners one and two with instructor Jean. It was such a wonderful experience can't recommend enough.

This review is specifically for the WAGD in-home training program and the wonderful trainer Fable Gay. First of all, this is an amazing service, because it allows for assessment and training in the dog's living environment. Second, Fable is a skilled, patient and attentive trainer, who proposes and implements realistic solutions to problem behaviors. I had a bit of experience with other trainers, but this one is simply on a different level. I wholeheartedly recommend WAGD's in-home training program and Fable Gay!
