She was always willing to answer any questions we had, even outside of the specific training time. We used her to even board our dog while we were away for a week and came back to an even better trained dog. Our dog is a year old Bernese Mountain Dog who was very dominant and pushy and she helped us transform him into our dream dog, while still allowing him to maintain his personality and fun/playful side. I would 100% recommend her to anyone and everyone with a dog.

My dog gets SO excited to go to camp. I can't drive down Ann Arbor Saline road with him in the car UNLESS that's where we are going because I'm pretty sure it's his favorite place other than home. The staff is wonderful and he is well loved and happy while he's there. They have cameras and the pricing is very reasonable. We've also all learned quite a bit in the training classes and are already signed up for more. Overall a GREAT experience!

Thanks Yelp for helping us find Abbie!…read more As new PAWrents, our good boi was picking up commands, potty training really well but we wanted some help with leash walking (as Benny boy loves to pull) AND we knew we were bringing home another pup so we wanted Abbie to meet Benny first to help us if there were any behavioral changes. With Abbie's help, we made small changes to have a more consistent training vocabulary between my husband and me. She also gave us great tips & tricks. I also LOVE that she has a Facebook group for all her clients - we've had a couple of puppy play dates already! Her rates are reasonable and transparently disclosed on her website! So beyond training, she also has field trips (training WITH her in environments with distractions) as well as adventures (where she takes your pup(s) out!) We had Abbie come by to take Benny on an adventure so that we could have some 1:1 training time with Jette. She took ADORABLE pictures of Benny on his adventure. I'm so grateful to have Abbie has a resource and guide through the puppy process!

He has also stayed overnight when I cannot take him with me out of town. There are numerous "rooms" for dogs of different temperament and energy. It is all crate free, all the time. Each room has an outdoor area that dogs access by a garage door. They have a special artificial grass, so he does not come home dirty. Staff are so loving and take great care of him. How can I be sure? There are cameras. And you can tell in how they interact with the dogs. I have known the owner, Margaret for over 12 years. She and her husband are committed to providing the best care at an affordable price. And there are the special events. You can sign up for Halloween photos, pictures with Santa and doggie craft projects. Carl loves going, and comes home tired. What else could I ask for?

I first learned about Adele when my dog's breeder recommended her book, Competition Obedience: A…read moreBalancing Act. I never expected to do obedience competitively, but the book gave me a lot of great ideas for training my new puppy. I took a couple of classes with my dog at Northfield Dog Training, both times with Adele. I learned a lot and raised a well-behaved pet. With the goal of getting my current dog certified as a therapy animal, I'm back to Northfield Dog Training to polish up my dog training skills. I have been making tiny mistakes. Having a coach is a huge help. Having a small set of weekly goals makes the behavior modification seem simpler (for me, as well as my dog.) I am excited after just one class. I can do this. A good teacher helps you to start believing that you can do more with the resources you already have. ~~~ The training facility is in the country on a dirt road (Ellsworth just west of Wagner.) Classes take place in a huge pole barn at the back right corner of the property. The driveway turns to the right. On the website see the Facilities | Map & Directions page for the location and a photo of the driveways & class areas. The driveway splits when it turns the corner, so you ought to know that in order to prevent a logjam on a busy night. There are rubber mats on the floors to give the dogs a grip. There are two training areas: one for agility, another for obedience and other activities that require a lot of open space. There are daytime, evening and weekend classes. There is a restroom. To sign up for a class, go to the website and enter yourself and one or more dogs into the database. You pay online with a credit card. This eliminates the need for an office and lots of paperwork. Just don't use Chrome as your browser. Internet Explorer works. Adele has a YouTube channel, where you'll find examples of concepts introduced in the classes. There is also a Yahoo group to discuss dog training. I am impressed that she is using the available technologies to enhance what the instructors are doing in the classes.

I want to express my deep appreciation of the Supreme K9 Skool in helping me train my yellow lab…read moreretriever, Max. I especially want to thank Mr. Dante Howard for his patience and good humor in working with me. Dante showed me over several weekly visits how to walk my pup without him pulling me along. He also taught me how I could work with Max to get him to sit down in the kitchen without bothering me while I ate my breakfast. I feel that Max and I have learned a lot about each other, thanks to Donte Howard and Supreme K9 Skool. I would recommend them to anyone who has a young rambunctious pup, or an older dog who needs some training. Sincerely, Robert Pardee
