Almost 6 months ago I adopted myself a doggy. He is an incredible little fella who just wants…read moreeveryone's love and attention, but he missed out on some of those basic doggy manners (like waiting patiently at the doors vs. trying to squeeze right through it, not trying to snatch that beautiful slice of pizza on your unattended plate, etc.) that most pups learn as they grow up in a loving and caring home. I had originally planned on taking my dog elsewhere for doggy training classes, but after talking to the ladies at Dog Speak, I knew this was the place for him. So far we have taken the 'Doggy Manners 1' course, and we will absolutely be back for 'Doggy Manners 2'! The small class sizes allowed for less distractions, more personalized lessons, and more attention to anything we were struggling through in order to build that rock-solid foundation. These ladies really know their stuff. We've been doing our homework and practicing a lot at home, but after only a few weeks I've seen a world of a difference. I would absolutely recommend Dog Speak to anyone looking for doggy classes. I do not have a single regret about coming here; money very well spent. We have not tried any of the grooming services yet.

From the owner: CCk9 dog training School offer three levels of obedience: Basic Obedience, Intermediate Obedience…read moreand Advanced Off-Leash Obedience. However, we train each dog on an individual basis, because every breed is different, and every dog is different. We will customize the training to meet your exact needs. We do not use food, treats, balls or tugs as rewards; we use a special method to motivate your dog, regardless of breed or size. While it is natural for a dog to want to track or bite, obedience will, at first, feel very unnatural. This is why training obedience can be difficult for inexperienced trainers. Our training methods make obedience training quick and easy, while minimizing the amount of stress on your dog. Your dog will learn to quiet itself on your vocals, with one command, in a normal tone. It is important to train your dog in the environment in which it will spend the majority of its time. This is why we train your dog, one-on-one. We are located in the Wainfleet, Niagara Falls Ontario area. Are state of the art Dog training facility is open seven days a week, and will work with you to accommodate your busy schedule.

This business - rather this man does obedience training, boarding, and a variety of other training issues, as well as installing underground fencing. If you've heard of stories about underground fencing - most likely it's because the owner was not trained rather then the dog. It takes training for both owner and dog for an underground fence to really work well and Tom Beitz knows how to make it happen. His logo statement is creative as well, Where Sit Happens". Verbal and visual commands both work on our dog! Tom Beitz, even the name is fitting, is a professional dog trainer that we've used to train two GSD's with much success and both remain in our yard with an invisible fence. He also stands behind all the products and gives you the individual attention that dog owners need. With both individual training and group training - you and your dog deserve the best and I highly recommend giving Tom a call if you have any dog training needs. We've been dealing with Tom for over 5 years now and recently had to have him stop over to look at a broken collar. While he was there - he gave us some additional instructions for both dogs, replaced the collar and off he went. It doesn't get better then this!

Flipping through the book I found his web site cited for obedience and off leash training. When I looked up the site and found he was from Hamburg, NY I couldn't believe it! He came to our home once a week for basic obedience training for our puppy at about 3 months old. His techniques are amazing! Our dog took to them quickly. He helped us with pulling, jumping issues and helped us to sit stay, leash walk and place. He is experienced and truly cared about our dog. We are calling him again when she is 9 months old to start more advanced obedience and off leash work. I recommend Smart Dog Solutions for anyone who wants a "good dog." Truly we learned that there are no bad dogs, just untrained ones. Phoebe is well on her way to becoming a certified therapy dog!

I made arrangements for classes, before Abby had been with us for a full day. Unfortunately due to some unforeseen circumstances, we couldn't attend the classes as we had originally planned. Instead I talked with Karen and we were able to have her come to our house once a week to help us with training. We are on week 3 now and I have to say I notice a huge difference in Abby's behavior. Karen has taken the time to learn what we want out of our class and to educate us on what she expects from us. Her approach has made me more confident in how I deal with our puppy and also how confident Abby is with me. In 3 weeks(1 purely informational/introduction) we have learned the right way to get Abby's attention(look), sit, lay down and proper greeting of guests. She also answered what seems like a million questions I had about everything from walking on a leash, to house breaking and choosing the right type of food. In addition to classes, Karen also runs puppy playdates, barn hunts and other dog friendly events. I look forward to our remaining 4 weeks with Karen and will probably take more of her advanced classes as our schedule allows and Abby is able. I would recommend Karen to anyone who asks.

Karen, in lack of a formal group for "class" visited our home for weekly training sessions. Abby has been very bright and responsive to her positive reinforcement training with Karen! In addition to our solo time with Karen, we have spent time adventuring to the formal training center for a barn hunt, joined a few friends for a puppy social and are looking forward to the possibility of beginning agility training soon! I must note in addition to her fabulous knowledge and skill set with all of the dogs she has interacted with, Karen did not hesitate to also help us through our first scary moment when the adults were away and the puppy broke in to her latched puppy tub, eating a great deal of food and becoming ill. Karen contacted a vet friend, worked with us and the vet through the process of elimination to determine the best next steps and offered to remain available by phone if Abby's health became even further concerning. Karen has an abundance of knowledge and understands owners and their furry friends will find their niche together, she just wants to provide tools to help make things more comfortable for everyone in the house. I look forward to continuing to work and play with Karen (sounds terrible but I'm going with it!), and will definitely always recommend her to friends, family and Yelpers!
