My puppy and I attended puppy parties and puppy basic manners and really enjoyed all the classes and instruction we received. If you're looking for great trainers who know their stuff, look no further than WOOFS!

I literally never leave reviews but I’m going out of my way on this one. The first sentence she said to me was that my dog could not go to daycare. My dog has never been denied to go to a daycare- she is small, but most daycares divide large and small dogs. The trainer was condescending. She chuckled in my face when I told her that my dog qualified for being a service animal. She laughed and told me that I got “scammed” which was the case (I won’t deny that), but she made me feel like I was dumb and chuckled at me. She made me feel awful until I literally started crying from how I was being treated. She started being nice when she realized I was a veteran. I would absolutely never get training from this lady. She made me feel like the worst person when I already suffer from a mental disability.
Take my puppy here for socialization and it's so wonderful for her. It's safe and it wears her out! Laura and her staff do a great job!
Very good with dogs, the trainers and employees are very kind and the dogs are happy to be there.
