My dog and I had every good intention of completing the basic obedience. The class size was quite large -- about 30 people in a facility that felt too small for that size group. Multiple distractions prevented me from being able to hear the instructor. We quietly left in the middle of the second session. Thank you to the owner for agreeing to send a refund for the unused sessions. read more

I took my border collie here for both basic adult obedience and for starters agility. Both experiences were excellent. The focus is on improving the owner's relationship and skills rather than saying its the dog who has an issue. Utilizes positive reinforcement through both good treats and verbal cues (I really had to work on being more exciting so I became a high value reward). I learned a lot and continue to recommend Diane and Jim to anybody who has a new dog in their household. Some tricks are taught as a game so you and your dog are excited to do them. I still regularly play the 'come touch' game with my bc and she thinks it's the best. I think it's great because I never have to be nervous that she wont come when called we're at the dog park or on a hike. It is a bit remote, so be sure you are willing to commit to the drive before registering. I can vouch that it's worth the drive! read more

After my first night of class, I realized it was too far from my home (almost an hour drive) so I emailed the instructor after class and explained that I would no be able to continue the 8 week class. I was told I would only be offered a "portion" of my fee IF someone called to sign up for the class before the 2nd week. Of course nobody did, so I basically paid $150 for one night of class. Very poor business practice. read more

I took my 5 y/o dog here for the beginning adult shaping class. I LOVE the classes at Arrowhead. The dogs have plenty of space to move around, and we're given plenty of time to try new exercises. The class is a good size, probably between 15-20 dogs. It's a big enough class to feel comfortable saying commands out loud, but small enough so each dog gets personal attention. Jim and Diane have been great to work with. I'm very happy I chose to bring my dog here. read more
