We had tried a splash at the local dog show in Cambridge Minnesota, and the dog loved it. Found out…read morethat you can get lessons on dock diving for your dog in Mendota Heights Minnesota. We scheduled a private lesson, and brought the dog down to try swimming in their pool at the facility. The dog enjoyed getting into the water, as well as retrieving his toy from the ramp. I think for a first introductory lesson, it was quite successful. The instructor was very encouraging and patient with us and the dog. The instructor we had is Nora and she has Standard Poodles and has been quite successful with them in dock diving - I appreciate the knowledge level of everyone I have met with this group. Also available at this location is Barn Hunt training, Nosework, and more. We'll be back for more lessons!

We recently sent our 6-year old Cavaliers to Boot Camp with Wendy in St. Louis Park and would…read morehighly recommend this service. Within the first week the dogs were learning new commands, but surprisingly were calmer and happier at home. This has remained true several weeks after class ended. I believe the dogs appreciate that we can communicate and understand them more effectively. We found Wendy's bi-weekly human coaching sessions and emails to be helpful learning tools. Her style was approachable and informative. The dogs clearly enjoyed their time with her, too. When deciding on a program I did hesitate on the price, but overall found it competitive to other programs and justified by the support we received.

And on the last day of class when all the dogs were testing out, my pup seemed to be over it and eventually just laid down and refused to do any more. The trainer laughed and sympathized with her and gave her some pets, telling her she was a good girl. I definitely recommend bringing your pup here for training.

I've already recommended him to several people and would recommend him to you too!

I can tell I am going to be very happy with the class. Due to COVID-19, class sizes are smaller than usual. I can't say I would be as happy with it if they were running a full sized class. The number of dogs and distance we're able to maintain now seems appropriate. More dogs makes me think the experience would be much less positive with only one trainer and the noise that comes with more dogs and people. I expect hearing even without masks in this facility can often be an issue. I would most likely deduct stars under those conditions. I'm excited for the class and to really see how Tails Up functions, as I expect to have my puppy in training for years before he's exactly what I want.

We were skeptical (and a little nervous), but we were delighted at the professionalism, the high degree of knowledge transfer, and the nearly immediate results we got. Since then we've enrolled him in Intermediate Obedience/Canine Good Citizen and he's turned out a gentle, well-mannered dog. One reason is that the trainers introduce real-life situations (noises, distractions, etc.) that help the dog learn to obey in these situations. They also teach us as dog owners how to train-- probably the best bit of learning. Since then our female has completed Basic Obedience and she's on her way to being a therapy dog. A service that's definitely worth the modest cost.
