I was not a fan of having to send my dog away for three weeks with a trainer, but my smarter half…read morethought it was best. Our puppy was just under 1 year old when we sent her to Jonathan and I could not be more pleased with the results. I was wrong about sending her as now she is much calmer and actually listens to us sometimes. Well more often than not. Neither of us had any experience with owning and training a dog before so this was truly a Godsend. Zoey now listens to basic commands and Jonathan worked with both of us on how we need to do things with her so that we are consistent and this is how we get her to do the commands that she had learned. Continuing education is a part of the program and is included and we will be taking advantage of these classes as we continue to learn about the right way to train our dog. I highly recommend both Jonathan and the entire Dog Camp Training Staff but we are bias to Jonathan as he is the man.

So happy with my pups experience here!! I sent my german shepherd puppy for a two week puppy camp…read moreand she came back a new dog!! She's only been home for a day but i can tell such a huge difference. She is less reactive, more respectful, and so open to commands and direction. Angie and Kersti were amazing with her and did everything i asked and more! They were so sweet and patient with her and were so knowledgeable of her breed and her needs. I got a report card and video at the end of her camp and both were very thorough. I also LOVED the constant posts and emails of how she was doing since i was missing her immensely!! When she came home both trainers spent almost two hours with us teaching us everything she learned and how to do some leash drills. I could see their level of care in every aspect of her training and i am absolutely thrilled!! I can't wait for group classes and for continuing education :))

My little pittie mix and I had such a fun time taking classes here! We recently completed the…read more7-week foundations course with Logan. I was pleasantly surprised at how much we learned in the course. I'll admit I was a little disappointed at first since the class is a lot of lecturing, however, I see why it is set up the way it is. Even with a high energy dog, the breaks between exercises were needed. I did not realize how mentally exhausting the training can be for the dogs and owners. Apollo loved the classes, but was definitely ready for a nap when we got into the car. The first class and I think the fifth(?) are primarily lecture. The instructor informs the class of this in advance so you can plan accordingly. Due to the nature of the first class, dogs are optional. After each class they send a detailed review of the class along with homework exercises. Each week has a topic and the classes are organized well. Overall, we enjoyed this class and recommend their classes to others!

They only use positive reinforcement methods which is really important to me, and I love how much they value the comfort and happiness of their dogs and humans. I've taken several different classes here and it's been amazing to see how much we've learned and how much I've grown as a handler. Also want to give a special shout out to our trainer Katie who has been amazing and a part of Milou's training journey since the beginning. I love it here and can't imagine bringing my pup (and future pups) anywhere else!

Elaine is an amazing trainer who really understood our puppy Phoebe's needs. During our very first…read moremeeting she took a lot of time to gauge all of our personalities to come up with the right formula to make things work. We were amazed at just how much improvement was made in only a few weeks. She equipped us with tools to establish good leadership habits which gave us (especially me) the confidence we needed to create a beautiful bond and established boundaries. Honestly the whole process is incredible and worth every penny. Not only can Phoebe walk on a loose leash around other dogs and big distractions, but we can now take her on hikes while giving her some freedom. Pack walks! We feel well equipped to perpetuate her good behavior and know that Phoebe is a happier puppy as a result! From the bottom of our hearts....thank you Elaine!

I recently enrolled my 14 week old puppy into Jackie's Basic and Beyond class. This review will be…read morelengthy but if you're looking to skim, the cliff notes are that Jackie harmed my dog giving her a correction in which she yelped in pain, and is now refusing to refund my money for a 6 week program I won't be utilizing for obvious reasons. I warn anyone looking for a safe class utilizing positive reinforcement against doing the same. I will start by saying multiple red flags happened and I genuinely should have just left, but didn't have time to process and my biggest regret is staying when I had a bad feeling. Before class, all materials by Jackie's state they do not allow on leash meetings between dogs. I arrived early assuming there was some protocol for waiting for class and making payments that allowed the dogs to safely enter without interacting (based on their own statements and previous training experiences, as this is the fourth dog I've owned in my adult life). To my surprise, as multiple other dogs entered, no trainers or employees made any effort to distance us to prevent on leash interactions. I ended up picking Sadie up to insure this didn't happen. To the other owners credit, all seemed to know enough to make attempts to separate their dogs to the best of their ability. But this tiny room was holding three adult sized dogs, two puppies, and all of their owners with trainers filtering in and out to get payment with no system to distance them or safely have them enter training? (Response to this concern from owner is their lobby is under renovation as if there is no other system that could have been worked out, staggered entrances, waiting in cars or parking lots, lol) Fast forward to being in the actual training, my 14 week old lab was identified as an "alligator" meaning she takes treats hard/bites hard. I don't dispute that at all, it's something we've been working on. (When I mentioned we were working on it, Jackie laughed at me saying that was like her working with her child on not playing paintball in the house???? I don't know what that means but she asked nothing of my background of going to training or what I was doing to work on this). She approached my puppy and asked if she could show me how to correct it, I said yes. (That's literally why I'm in this class, why would I say no). Imagine my surprise when she grabs my dogs head and pushed her back by her loose skin until my 14 week old puppy literally yelps in pain. I was shocked and confused, and went through the rest of the class to their credit, with no other incidents related to my dog. I will say that they brought in an adult dog who had graduated from all of their programs, and had him demonstrate some tricks. When he went to be placed on a table, and chose the wrong one (there were two tables) his owner gave him a "no" command and went towards him, and the dog flinched. That coupled with what I had just seen with my dog told me as full a story as I needed. After discussing with my partner, I reached out to the business and told them based on this incident, this training didn't align with what I wanted for my puppy. I offered to pay a pro rated amount for the class I did attend, and asked for a refund for the rest, and to part ways. In the first email response from this company about my concerns (you can view them in my google review as I attached screen shots) while yes my dog did yelp in pain, it was quieter than her bark?? This seems to be Jackie's personal measurement of dog pain based on decibels. That's the only thing I can discern. They offered for me to transfer to another trainer- the entire business is called Jackie's training?? And I was with Jackie?? In the second email they state that after reviewing the same video as the first email, magically, there is no yelping!!! What a relief that is, as in the first email, we got into what pitch level the yelping is. Amazing to see it never happened! Jackie firmly believes she had the right to hurt your dog and charge you for the pleasure.

We were able to implement his tactics within 5 minutes of getting off the Zoom call. We definitely recommend Ryan's services!

From checking in, answering questions, and referring us to additional training videos an aids between sessions, to recommending treats that would help in the process, to being very flexible in scheduling sessions; I couldn't have asked for a better experience for me and my pup.

Background, we adopted a 6 year old basset hound with a some serious issues, including separation anxiety, not house broken and fear of men. He was quite afraid of me, had trust issues, and got really stressed when my gf wasn't around. I was frankly nearing my wit's end before we got referred to Melissa. In only a few sessions I really felt equipped with the necessary tools to make progress with my dog, despite being a notorious breed. There are no magic tricks, it took time, and we still have work to do, but Melissa kept us honest and consistent with the training, modifying it as needed. We felt we were an extreme case and in only a few months we've seen a remarkable improvement in his comfort level around me (stops shaking when I come near him!), and he doesn't freak out nearly as much when left home alone. She was also extremely flexible with our schedules and after each session provided great detailed notes we constantly referred to. Bark to Basics can do wonders for you and your furry friend! Can't recommend enough.

Both times the training greatly exceeded expectations. Within two lessons, Hazel drastically improved her ability to walk politely.

In addition to training, Hazel also has stayed with Lateria when we go out of town. She always comes back happy, clean, and tired from playing. Lateria sends good updates while we're away so we know Hazel is safe and having fun. Can't recommend both the training and Pupcation enough!
