We had a great experience with puppy obedience and group play this summer. Unfortunately we have been trying to contact Whole Dog for months now about taking further classes and haven't been able to reach anyone either by phone or e-mail... Wondering if they are still operating?
Excellent facility. Went for the "Tame your Teen" class for young dogs. Got a lot of individualized feedback from Tina on how we can best communicate with our dog. Whole dog institute has a lot of experience with high energy breeds (we have an Australian Shepherd) and my wife and I felt that we got a lot out of the course. Will definitely be going back for more classes!
My experience with my dog Albert was enjoyable and very useful/helpful. Much of what myself and Albert had learned has translated well at home.
Really enjoy the scentwork class with my dog. He seems to really enjoy is as well can’t wait for scent work 2
