No better "trainers" anywhere. Way above and beyond anyone else!…read more Kaye and Carrie are top professional behavior modification specialists. They will create an unbreakable bond between you and your pup based on positive reinforcement. There is just no comparison anywhere else. Stay completely away from trainers who use any sort of choke chains. They say they use positive reinforcement and then want to slap a pinch/prong or choke collar on your dog. That is not appropriate in any way for dogs who only want to love and please you. That is negative fear based cruel and abusive training. Only go with the best! Go Rogue!

I went for 16 weeks to another training school (Good Dog in Phoenix) and was frustrated,…read moredisappointed, and down right pissed that I wasted four months and too much money. I mean, Really? We need to teach our dogs for weeks how to sniff butts? My dogs can sniff my butt and I didn't even have to train them! Grrrrrrr! I recently adopted an eight week old puppy and searched for a new school. After phone chat with Kate at Go Rogue I decided to place puppy, Siren in their school. Wowzer! We learned more in the very first class than I learned with my other rescue pup in sixteen weeks at Good Dog school. It is awesome! The puppies have several play groups to socialize and just have fun....think of a puppy mosh pit! There are so many fun and challenging obstacles set up all over the room for puppies to explore, feel various textures, get a puppy view of agility....which all of my dogs participate in as they get old enough. The approach is always positive, there are two instructors who offer wonderful assistance if a puppy or their human are having any difficulties. They "include" a wonderful handbook to fully explain things we might forget in class. Always there is homework and each class is followed up with an email reminding us what to work on before next session. Kate and Carrie offer high value treats....they don't charge for these (unlike the other school) if the puppy needs a little motivation. I could write a novel on how fabulous this school is. My puppy, Siren just graduated today from her Puppy 1 six week session. ( forgot to say, this school charges $165 for six weeks, Good Dog charged $217 for eight weeks of sniffing butts and click for calm and if you want a hand book fork over an additional $25 bucks. If you run out of treats during class....get your money out! Ain't nothing free at Good Dog school.) And for the puppies graduation today (I am so proud!) each pup received an official diploma with their name and a new toy and a bag of treats! We signed up for Puppy 2. A six week session at a reduced fee. This is how to run a training school! Go Rogue! Ten Arfs for this amazing school! Arf, Arf, Arf, Arf, Arf, Arf, Arf, Arf, Arf, Arf....And a big fat Woof!

Holly is a miracle worker! Our little rescue dog Max was a mess. He would completely lose his mind…read moreon walks when he saw: People Cars Bikes, Dogs Birds, Things that moved ...basically he would freak out, barking and lunging, just lose it, ever time we tried to walk him. He would also bark constantly at home with every little noise, and try to herd our cats around the house to the point they got so stressed out they were spraying. Long walks, which my husband and I loved, were impossible and super embarrassing because he triggered the whole neighborhood of dogs with his incessant barking. Holly stepped in and within the first visit-THE VERY FIRST VISIT!!!-we had a walkable dog! She bonded with Max and spoke his language right away. Lounging on the couch peacefully with our cats was possible again. Barking is now manageable and appropriate for the situation (doorbell, ect.), and we can stop the barking with a calm verbal command. Holly is so great! You should definitely hire her! Thanks to her, we have a happy, manageable house again. I'm so glad we hired her and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for doggo training. She can help your little dogs, too! (We thought training may only be available for big dogs. You don't really hear about little dogs needing rehab, you know? Ours definitely did, lol). Thank you, Holly!

NLR Dog Training has been absolutely amazing! They were willing to take on my stubborn bulldog,…read moreGracie, when so many other trainers turned us away because "bulldogs are too hard to train." From our very first session, I could tell they truly know what they're doing -- patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly understanding of Gracie's unique personality. What really stands out about NLR is that their care goes so much deeper than just training. They genuinely care about their clients -- both dogs and humans. They take the time to make sure you feel supported, confident, and part of the process every step of the way. I'm also so excited that August has joined the team! August is amazing -- calm, patient, and so loving with every dog they meet. You can instantly see how much they truly enjoy what they do, and the dogs respond to that energy right away. Gracie absolutely LOVES her time with them, and I couldn't be happier with her progress. If you're looking for a trainer who will treat your dog like family and help them thrive, NLR Dog Training is the place to go!

We started working with Gueseppe in December of 2025 after our almost 2 year old Aussie, Jett had…read moreseveral instances of almost backing out of her harness and into traffic while walking downtown. She was also very uneasy during all of her walks and endlessly scanned her entire surroundings. It was physically and emotionally exhausting for all of us. The phone consultation was fantastic. Gueseppe asked us a series of questions about her training to date, what we thought was causing her to be nervous and what we wanted to get out of training. We want to be able to travel with her and ensure her safety, was our ultimate goal. We enrolled in the 2-month package with Jett. She was reluctant to enter the building and Gueseppe got to see first hand what a mini Jett panic attack looked like. Our first session was focused on motivation, conditioning and rewarding the behavior we expected her to do. Training with a slip collar made a huge & positive difference in making sure our communication was clear up and down the leash. We used the agility equipment to help her overcome fears of walking on different surfaces. Each week, we got homework to build on the previous learnings and started to see how putting her into obedience brought Jett comfort. We started to see a new spring in her step. By the third session we had already started to see her make breakthroughs in confidence, clarity and calmness when arriving to school. This was when we started working with Tiffany, who was wonderful. She spent a lot of time training me on how to be clear in my communication without bending down and becoming tangled up in the leash. The training of the human gave me so much insight into how I was inadvertently reinforcing the feeling of panic for Jett and I've learned how to dial it way back. I could see and feel Jett's emotional growth. I think she also could feel me getting more relaxed. The major growth day was the day we did a walk downtown with her and Tiffany walked with us as coach. We literally faced every situation that had caused Jett and I to panic in the past. When we got back to the school, we were all so proud of Jett. At our last class, Gueseppe joined us and Jett was happy to show him everything she had learned. Jett has graduated now and we are continuing our work with pack walks, alumni training days and taking her out into situations that we would normally have shied away from. The bonding we've experienced with Jett has been an incredible gift. She used to drool (she gets carsick) at the idea of getting into the car. She now gets excited and puts her paws up so she can be lifted in. Long story short. This training was the best money we have ever spent on any dog training course. We have a small and mighty toolbox to ensure that we are successful in all situations. We have a stronger bond with our pup and our older Aussie is enjoying going on walks with her now. My confidence is much stronger and the gratitude we feel for Companion Canine coming to Jacksonville, OR is immerse.

Secondly, we continue to learn, even though my dog has passed the International Therapy Dog test and we work as volunteers at a local hospital. This is the first dog I have enrolled in a program like this and as a life long dog lover and owner, he is honestly the first dog I have ever owned that comes when he called, does not go crazy when someone comes to the door and has respect for people. I did have an issue with this dog in a particular area and worked with the trainer on a one on one basis. Our problem was quickly resolved. Communication is the key here. The trainer is open to new ideas and will address specific problems when asked. I can't say enough good things about this program!!!

This is a hard one to post but it is quite needed to inform the public of some policies the human…read moresociety does not make clear. We decided to adopt a kitty (Kit Kat), who was recovering from being spayed and a polyp removal in her nose. As per policy, we had to wait to adopt her so communicated many times with the staff to make sure we could get her. When the time came, we found the adoption process to be extremely rushed as the staff was clearly overwhelmed with all that was going on. Kit Kat had two medications that needed to be administered daily and the vet confirmed this would clear up her condition (their eyelid remaining 1/4 over eye). Two days after bringing her home, she went very lethargic, coughing and sneezing. I attempted to contact the Vet at SOHS and was denied. When I stated I only wanted to verify if this was an expectation of her recovery I was further told quite abruptly "SOHS is no longer financially responsible for animals after they are adopted". I was NOT looking for them to pay any upcoming vet bills. I was simply wanting to speak with the vet to confirm her condition. I was again denied, again reminded they are not financially responsible and asked to speak with a board member. We decided it would be best to get the cat to a vet and paid the 150.00 emergency vet bill plus medications. Turns out SOHS vet missed a polyp and she needs another surgery at the cost of $500.00. I was contacted by Ryan at the SOHS who stated they are legally not able to care for an animal once it is adopted. Understood. I asked to speak with the very who allegedly was out of cell reception. Never got a follow up call or any care or concern after speaking to them. I don't understand how complicated it is for a vet to 1) do their job effectively and 2) be able to produce communications about their surgeries and potential side effects. So my caution....DO NOT adopt a sick animal from SOHS with ANY expectation you will be shown any compassion or understanding. Had I known I would be spending over $1000.00 for a cat, I would have better prepared myself financially for it or saved for it. I am a very very strong believer in adopt not shop and this has been the worst experience doing so. My hopes, not to slander but to share my experience so others can be informed of what is going to come from SOHS once you sign that paperwork....nothing.
