Cedarwoods is awesome! We met with Sam for a free consultation and told us about the philosophy behind their training. They don't use treats to train the dogs. I know my dog and if you don't have a treat he won't listen to a thing you say! But it worked! We went through the basic training class and then the off lead training. Our dog is easily excitable and wants nothing more than to play with the other dogs, so keeping his attention was difficult. But over the time we were there our dog learned to listen and obey and have fun while doing it. I would say our dog is one of the more difficult cases and he made amazing progress! About a week before we started taking our dog here, I was mentioning Cedarwoods to a coworker. There was someone working on the electrical just there for the day, he heard me talking and said he took his dog there and loved it! And that's the feedback I get from everyone who's gone to Cedarwoods. I highly recommend Cedarwoods! Every dog can benefit from the training! It's worth every penny. read more

Excellent and caring staff, remarkable progress in obedience training of my young pup. He absolutely LOVES coming here and leaves every day that he does a better and more behaved dog. read more

What a great place for a puppy to start his training. They have so many support options to help you get your dog manageable before they get too big. Henry enjoyed boot camp and extra training days to practice his skills read more

I admit I was a little skeptical about this training at first. Especially when so much of it was spent talking to the humans and very little time spent with the dogs, BUT our dog has never been better. The tools we learned were invaluable. It really is more about training the human than the dog. As long as you stick to the training and stay consistent you will be rewarded with a great life with your doggy. read more

I'm surprised this place isn't harassed by animal rights groups. I ended up quitting half way through for the abuse they wanted me to push on my dog to force her to obey. After a couple months my dog was aggressive and reserved. I am so glad that I pulled my dog from there and ended up finding a great trainer who focused on positive reward treat training, where I wasn't taught to hit my dog with the leash to makeover obey. I will never refer anyone who likes their dog to go to Cedarwoods. read more

We brought our Aussie for training here 12 years ago. She spent her life as a very sweet and active family member that went on many adventures with us. Throughout it all, she behaved so well with what she learned at Cedarwoods. Thanks! I sure hope my daughters will bring their dogs here too. read more

When we enrolled our 6 pound jack Russell in the training course at Cedarwoods, I wasn't expecting more than a way to actually teach my daughter how to communicate with her dog, but we got was so much more! I was raised around dogs with my father being an excellent trainer and dog whisperer. The training techniques at Cedarwoods are really a way of "speaking the dogs language." You have to help dogs understand their place in the pack if you want them to have manners, but I experienced nothing in the vein of what the negative review on here is referring to. The corrections taught are assertive, communicative, but not cruel. I highly recommend this establishment to train and board your dogs without question. read more

This course changes lives! We enrolled 3 of our kids with 3 of their dogs and the results are more than amazing so far - and we haven't completed the course yet. I consider the value of the Cedarwoods training program to exceed what we paid for - and the value keeps on growing! read more

We are only a few weeks into Basic Obedience but are already seeing results in our pup. It is clear that Sam loves his work and truly cares about every dog that comes through his program. His teaching style and methods are perfect and work well too. We couldn't be happier and recommend this to every new dog owner. read more
