Jenna joined day care as soon as the facility at Kenwick was opened. Lilly and Courage started daycare as soon as they were adopted. The pups love coming here. I am especially impressed by the enrichment activities provided. It is hard to make time to take the pups to a group class, and the training that they receive during their weekly visit is a real help. The pups get their share of social interaction, play, some group and individual activities. Jenna took the Reactive Rover class and really benefitted from the training. Courage is taking her first Sidekick class. Lilly will join a class soon. The owner, Stephanie, and manager, Maggie and staff genuinely love dogs. My pups love them right back. I eagerly look forward to the report card for each of my pups at the end of their visit! What happens at day care does not stay at daycare The photos are taken from the reports sent for my pups.

His methods and ways of training are immaculate compared to others I have experienced in the past. I would highly only recommend him to anyone looking to have a well behaved pup in the family! It was a big plus that my little lady absolutely LOVED David! She was always fearful of strangers and men more specifically, and David helped change that. Her anxious chewing and separation anxiety were also remedied and subsided as we worked with David and now she is a social happy pup! I highly recommend K9 Clarity to anyone looking for an amazing trainer !

He starts with the fundamentals that allow you give quick corrections as the training gets more complex. He's great at walking you through each step, explaining the 'why' behind it, and then moves at the pace that you're comfortable with. If you're consistent and you practice often, you'll see the rewards! He is very patient, great at explaining and showing and correcting if you're not doing it quite right, and as I said before, he gives you the 'why' behind everything which I think is so so so important. I was able to wrap my head around the concept and now I can better understand my dog and her behaviors, which allows me to effectively correct them!

I wanted to let some time pass before I wrote this long review so that we could see how our puppy…read moreLucy did at home in the "real world" and how our included follow up trainings would go. I'm here to tell you that my husband and I couldn't be happier with the wonderful experience and results we have had at Wet Nose Training. We paid for the 3-week training and I'm really glad we did. Yes, it an investment to properly and thoroughly train your dog but when you think of having a well-behaved dog for the next 16-18 years, it is a sound investment. Also, this is one of those times you get what you pay for. Let me tell you, I did not see how I was going to be without my baby for 3 weeks. I kept reminding myself that we were doing this for her good so that one day she could be an off-leash dog on hikes and playing disc golf. A well-behaved dog has so many more opportunities: she can go to restaurants that allow dogs, she's welcome at other people's homes, I can trust her near children, the elderly, and other dogs. It is my saddest regret that my old dog was never trained and was poorly socialized. It has limited his life so much. Lucy got to go to Rudy's the day we picked her up! Andy is very transparent in letting you check out the environment. There is an inside work area (as well as an inside kennel room), but plenty of stimulating outdoor area for your dog to learn and practice, all surrounded by sturdy iron fencing. Once I saw the environment Lucy would be in I knew she would be safe. They only work together dogs that will be safe to work together so that your dog can develop his/her personality and confidence. I've attached pictures of our Lucy playing with a cute little friend she made there. She also went into her first heat while there and Andy and Amanda handled it perfectly professionally. We were always kept in the loop with what Lucy was working on. What made us first interview Wet Nose Training was that Andy kept getting singled out in such rave reviews at his last place of employment. I searched him out and saw that he had started his own training company. Then, when we interviewed him (we interviewed 4 other potential trainers), we found that his METHOD was the one we were looking for. As I understand it, they teach basic manners with positive reinforcement, teach leash training using a flat collar (cross between a regular collar and a prong) so that Lucy could learn what he wanted. There were also very high quality treats to reinforce good behavior. Then they add in an ecollar. That was the part I was most afraid of. On a scale of 0-99 we only needed a 12 to get her attention. She had ample opportunity to learn what was expected of her first without the ecollar before it was ever used, and it was never used without notice to her. To me, this is the most constructive way to train. It's layers of learning, like learning your alphabet before you start reading a book ;) Andy knows dogs. And Andy LOVES dogs. He truly understands their nature and gave us so much insight into Lucy, like how to watch her thought process unfold and what her "tell" is before she makes a bad choice of action. We just had a follow up the other day to iron out some of our questions so we could more accurately reinforce what Andy had taught her, and he'll be coming to our neighborhood soon so we can fine tune some of her behaviors in her natural habitat. The fact that she pauses before going through a doorway until told she can, sits when she sees another dog rather than charging them, can be put in "place" when we need her to stay still to answer the door, and leaves her cranky old brother dog alone has been such a relief. I highly recommend Wet Nose Training.

Our dog had a terrible habit of jumping on people to say hello and needed a lot of training in basic manners, recall, leash pulling, reactivity, leave it, and cat chasing. We saw results after one session and continued once a week for 2 months and we could not be more pleased with the results! Our dog is incredibly happy and loves seeing Ashlyn pull up to the house, and she no longer body checks her say hello We did off leash training going for hikes in the woods, public outings for reactivity training, and a lot of work at home. There's nothing better than having a well trained dog and putting in the work as an owner under the guidance of a pro is well worth it!

We did in-home…read morepuppy training for our Cavalier, Henry, and I truly can't say enough good things about the entire process. From the very beginning, Dean was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient - not just with Henry, but with us as well. He has a way of making training feel approachable and even fun, which made such a difference as this was our first experience with a dog trainer. Nothing ever felt overwhelming or intimidating. Dean was also very reassuring that a lot of what we have experienced with our Henry was normal puppy behavior. What really stood out to us was how personalized the training was. Dean took the time to understand Henry's personality and our lifestyle, and then tailored everything to fit our home environment. That made it so much easier for us to stay consistent and actually implement what we were learning day-to-day. Henry has learned all of his basic commands and is doing so well. We've seen such a transformation in his behavior, confidence, and responsiveness. It's been such a joy to watch him grow, and we truly feel like Dean set us up with a strong foundation that will last. If you're looking for someone who is not only skilled at what he does but also genuinely cares about both you and your dog, we highly recommend Dean. This was one of the best investments we've made for Henry and our home!
