You can take each 6 week, Saturday morning class for around $100. Or you can sign up for her club and come anytime to any class unlimited for a year for $400. I signed up for the unlimited. Its a great deal for unlimited classes. It's a treat based training system, which works great for food. She teaches "faking the dog out" in order to get them off the treats, but honestly this hasn't worked for me. My dog is much too smart for that. But It Seems To Work for Other dogs. It takes a lot of work to train your dog. She lists a lot on what she'll teach in each class, but I don't feel she covers everything. You really do need to ask if you need something specific. It'd be great if she offered classes not always Saturday morning too, I understand it, but it's limiting. I also think it'd be pretty cool if she taught thing like putting away toys. :D useful My dog has learned some things, I personally have learned more! It really is a great opportunity, but you have to follow through at home. It's not easy. Compared to petsmart, this is more bang for your buck and teaches you more. It's more up and close and Cindy is the sweetest! This is my experience-go try out a first class for free and you decide!

We brought our Samoyed, Ghost, to John for board-and-train when he was only about 4 months old…read more Now, about 7 months later, we finally wanted to leave a review because we've had plenty of time to see how the training actually holds up. John is a really great trainer, and we're very happy with the results. Before training, Ghost had a lot of typical puppy behaviors -- digging, biting and chewing slippers, getting into things he shouldn't, etc. After he came home, those behaviors were basically gone. What impressed us the most is that the training really lasted. Ghost has now gone through his teenage phase, which we were honestly expecting to be a little chaotic , but he's still such a good dog. He understands boundaries, listens well, and is very easy to live with. Looking back, sending him to John at 4 months old gave him a really strong foundation, and we can still see the difference 7 months later. We're really happy we did it and would definitely recommend John!

My name is Stella. I am an 18 month old Labradoodle. I came to live with my new family when I was…read moreonly eight weeks old. I soon learned that I could do whatever I wanted to do and I could make all the rules in household. I could nip at my owners ankles, hands, arms and whatever I could get close to. Sometimes I even drew blood. I thought this was fun. I barked whenever I wanted to, which was most of the time. If the door opened I would run outside and not come back even if I was called, it was great fun. My owners decided to send me to Stephanie for boot camp training. I was only 14 weeks old and didn't really want to go. Even though I was totally in charge of my household I agreed with my owners to spend two weeks with Stephanie. The first thing I learned was to only bark when it was really important. I learned to sit, stay, and heel. I learned how to walk on a leash in public without jumping on people, barking at people, or snapping and barking at other dogs. It turned out that Stephanie was really cool. She never yelled at me or hit me. Instead when I did something right she would love on me and pet me and tell me what a good girl I am. While I thought I would miss my owners being away for two weeks from home, the two weeks went really fast. When they came to pick me up I was really proud To show them everything that I learned. The couple of weeks later Stephanie came to my owners home to teach me "perimeter training". Of course I learned this really fast given the fact that I am now a smart girl with a college education. I would give Stephanie a five star rating. She is the best. I would like to go back and see her again and maybe even stay some time with her but I seem to know everything there is to know already. My owners call me the best dog ever! My owners just bought another Labradoodle. His name is Tucker and he's a big brute but he is only nine months old. He's just like I was, he thinks that he makes the rules. I am trying to talk my owners into sending Tucker to Stephanie so he can learn everything that I Already know. Stella the Labradoodle

Tony completely changed my life. I cannot sing his praises enough. Before working with him, I felt…read morelike training my dog, KB, was a lost cause. I had previously tried Board and Train programs at Sit Means Sit twice, but they didn't help with KB's anxiety at all. Tony was a completely different experience. What sets Tony apart is how thorough he is. He didn't just give commands; he constantly explained the "why" behind KB's behaviors. He was also incredibly supportive of me, helping me work through my own fears and nervousness. Because of his guidance, I can now actually play box with KB without the fear that he'll suddenly react toward me. We covered so much ground, including: * Command & Muzzle Work: Building a foundation of safety and communication. * Boundaries: KB used to be glued to my side whenever I answered the door. Now, he can stay calmly on the couch while I greet someone, and he stays indoors even when I go through the patio door. * Safety & Care: Tony was always so accommodating with scheduling. If it was too hot for an outdoor session, he would proactively suggest changing it for KB's safety. If you feel stuck or overwhelmed with your dog's behavior, go to Tony. He turned everything around for us, and I'm so grateful for the confidence he's given both me and KB.

I've been very happy with Camp Bow Wow so far!! I have left my pup a number of times so far,…read moreincluding about four full day boarding sessions, an over nighter and a two night stay so far. It is easy to book your stays through the app and everything has ran smoothly for my experience so far. They require all records prior to your first stay to make sure the dogs are up to date on vaccinations, etc. There are also a number of enrichments offered at an extra cost to entertain your pup, and on certain days of the week they have specialty enrichments. On my pup's last stay we ordered a pup cup and I did not expect to receive pictures in email of her enjoying it. That made my day. There are always cameras available to check in on your doggy to make you feel at ease. My pup is always excited and always playing during her stays and she is excited to go in when we arrive, she isn't even worried about me heading off and she's still happy when we come back for her. Then there is the additional perk of your pup being wiped out for a nice portion of the day when you return. Thank you Camp Bow Wow and especially for having staff around at all times, and for making it possible to take trips with ease knowing our pup will be taken care of.

This helped me gain a lot of confidence and courage to be assertive and dominant and not let the puppy walk all over me and go crazy.

I assure you that I…read morewas a legitimate customer who genuinely shared my honest experience, which I believe is critical for other potential clients. While it's understandable to feel upset when receiving negative feedback, it's important to reflect on the reasons behind my review. I noticed that during our initial interaction, you made a comment about my background that many found to be a stereotypical and racist remark. In fact, I saw that you previously posted video footage of our encounter on your Instagram, but you removed it after receiving backlash for those comments. This indicates that others found your remarks concerning as well. I want to emphasize that my intention was never to harm your business; rather, it was to share my experience. Thankfully, I have since found another trainer who practices positive reinforcement, which aligns much better with my values and my dog's needs.
