‼Warning: Read Before Enrolling at Spokane Dog Training Club‼…read more Dog parents, consider this a friendly warning based on a genuinely upsetting experience. I enrolled my 10-month-old pup at the Spokane Dog Training Club expecting guidance, structure, and care. What I found instead was chaos, poor organization, and a stressful environment for both humans and dogs.   Training Structure: The club requires all participants to pass the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) class before moving forward, even if you're aiming for agility or other training. While I appreciate the idea behind this, the instruction quality made it nearly impossible to succeed. Classes felt rushed, disorganized, and unproductive.   Instruction Quality: The instructors (mostly volunteers) seemed overwhelmed, undertrained, and often rude or dismissive. There was little to no individualized support, and we were all herded through like cattle.   Facility & Safety Concerns: The building is very echoey and poorly maintained. Dogs of all sizes and training levels were packed together -- not ideal, and honestly, not safe. Easy Parking? Forget it! They are letting the next class's dogs and owners come in and out while our session is still going on. An absolute mayhem!    Negative Impact: Instead of making progress, my dog actually regressed during our time there. He left more anxious after each session. This place added stress instead of building confidence. Yes, the price tag is only $65, but you get what you pay for -- and in this case, that meant confusion, stress, and zero progress.    SAVE your Money and your dog the Trauma! Look elsewhere for professional, compassionate training.

I highly recommend NOT working with Accurate K9 Training! My 82 year old mother called this company…read moreto have a trainer come to her house to help her train her puppy AT HOME. Brittany Katterfeld took advantage of an elderly, vulnerable woman who lives alone by manipulating her into letting go of her puppy for supposedly an inboarding 3-week training. She took my mother's credit card number and charged 1/2 of the $3000.00 fee. Brittany offered no contract or paperwork to sign. My mother was very upset after Brittany left driving off with my mother's dog. The next two days involved my sister and I intervening to help my mother get her dog back as this was not what she wanted nor did she ever intend to spend that kind of money as she is on a limited income. Brittany agreed to meet us after two days as we explained the situation over the phone. She had been cooperative and met us at a parking lot so we could get the dog back; she even mentioned a refund. However, since that time she has been avoiding my mother's phone calls and texts. Interestingly, Brittany was very quick to answer while obtaining my mother's business. Now she avoids all contact and is a thief for keeping all of the $1500.00. Technically my mother only owes 3 nights of boarding and training and is willing to give well over the amount due for the trouble and confusion. What poor business, horrible work ethic and decency. Thumbs DOWN.

I searched for months hoping to find a behaviorist that would have the experience and knowledge to…read morehelp my reactive dogs. I wanted a trainer that not only used multiple training techniques and tools, but also was actively working her own dogs as well. At ~65# each it's very difficult to handle my dogs when they start going after each other. It was even more disheartening when my deaf 3yo pittie mix bit a friend. Both dogs are insecure and needed more direction and less opportunity to fail. The moment I contacted Brittany, she immediately made me feel that all hope wasn't lost and this could get better. We set up an appointment and she came in ready to make miracles happen! My dogs were also ready...they did not want to have anything to do with her. They were growling, lunging, snapping, and just behaving badly. Brittany stayed calm and reassured us that she wanted to see the naughtiness so that she could better help us. We were so embarrassed and nervous. She handled our dogs with care and control. By the end of our session our dogs were calm and obeying not only her, but us as well. She left giving us homework and we are so excited to start this process. I'm eager to see our dogs transform into the companions we know they can be. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone that had dogs.

Dana and Carol gave us a handbook full of information, were organized, enthusiastic, obviously love what they do, and gave clear instructions. Sure - as a previous reviewer said, you can find the same information online, but having it demonstrated and being able to ask questions is invaluable, not to mention the socialization and fun that the puppies partake in. There is just no comparison. Training a puppy is a long term endeavor that can't be accomplished in a few classes, but the Byrnes gave us a great head start and foundation to build on. I wouldn't go anyplace else.

If you pay attention to the reviews on Yelp you will notice one thing, sign up dates. When you see…read morethat an individual has a few great reviews but that all of the reviewers have only 1-2 reviews something is wrong. Not to mention these were all done within three days of each other. This usually means one thing, these are all friends of that business or the actual owner themselves. I know for a fact one of the posters on here is his mom. Not a reliable reviewer if you ask me. Anyways take those type of reviews with the proverbial grain of salt. Now lets get to a REAL review of this company. This review is for a dog that Ryan trained for weeks for my child. Ryan had this dog for approximately two months. Upon return this dog acted absolutely no different then the day it left. It refused to listen to any command given unless yelling at the top of your lungs, hopefully that is anyway. It acts like any dog that you have had that has never set foot in a trainers presence. All of those great videos on you tube are a joke compared to the way this one acts. Not at any point since the day the dog returned has it acted like it had received training of any type. As for walking on a leash, forget it. The dog goes crazy while on a leash and is impossible to control. Now some might say your kid is doing it all wrong then. Well a trainer trains a pet for the owners, not for himself. Lets not forget the owners also attend some of these training sessions. So if that is your thinking forget it. Basically, the hundreds of dollars he charged was flat out a complete rip off and a waste of money. The avg person could do a better job. I would love to say what a great trainer he is, thing is is wasn't in this case. That is the plain truth. I understand that there might be times when a pet is harder to train then others or is just impossible to train. If that is the case suck in your pride and say so and return the money and say "Sorry, I am unable to train your dog" and call it good. My advice is find someone else to train your dog.

He also did a free consultation which was nice. Unfortunately he was very bad a returning phone calls and also would text me telling me he was going to call me back and in the end he just gave up on communication all together. He may have had some personal family issues going on and I would have been understanding about it if he was honest and just told me upfront he wouldn't be able to start training with my dog for another week?? Idk in the end I had to go with a company that was more reliable but more expensive.

They just remodeled the front area and WOW it was stunning, such a welcoming feeling when you walk in. I just adopted my dog and this was his first grooming appointment so we were both a little nervous, the ladies working both reception and the amazing groomer herself acting like it was no big deal my 70lb mastiff has separation issues! It was so comforting and he honestly didn't even notice I left. They had so many options as far as packages, al a Carte, etc. so we were able to customize a VERY affordable package so my handsome man got every need catered to. When picking him up I got a report of him being a great boy and I was completely at ease. I would recommend the amazing staff at Paradise for your grooming or even day care needs! We'll be back in 6 weeks!

I feel incredibly lucky to have found Amy. My two dogs are special and quirky - as in emotional and shy and don't take to strangers easily. Within ten minutes my Ranger was giving her kisses! I was sold. Amy has a very calm presence and that came through to me and obviously to the dogs. After providing her with a lengthy set of instructions for just visiting them mid-day for potty breaks, she didn't freak out or think I was weird. She was more than willing to do whatever I did so that the pups would keep their routine. In addition to sending me either a text or email after every visit, she also left me a "report card" with how the dogs did and reacted to her which was a nice treat. I like the attention to detail and extra information. It was just like I was there! As a bonus to the report card, Amy also left a couple of homemade treats for the dogs AND a dozen eggs from her own chickens! It's just so comforting to know I can trust and rely on someone to handle things in my absence. I didn't worry for one minute which is an amazing gift for me when I'm away from home. I've already schedule another week with her and have her booked for a long weekend with overnight stays - another nice bonus - no kennels! Amy's prices are reasonable, she is very professional and dependable - you can't go wrong!
