Brenna was just incredible helping us with our rescue, June. We've had her for a couple years and…read moreshe was always super leash reactive, barking at just about every dog, bike, and skateboard that she saw. After 3 sessions at SMS, June is able to walk with us with no problem. I genuinely wouldn't believe it if you told me she would improve this much a month ago. I can't recommend SMS and Brenna specifically enough!

Fantastic experience. We have a highly, highly energetic 2 year old Wheaton Terrier (Tilly!)…read more During our consultation, Greg took the time to understand our specific goals we had for Tilly's training. He walked thru the training technique and schedule, being sure to answer any questions or concerns we had. We scheduled three, full day trainings - spread over 3 weeks so that we would have practice time in between each lesson. We would drop Tilly off in the AM, pick her up in the afternoon. When we arrived back at the facility, my husband and I had an hour with the trainer and Tilly to walk through what they went over in the day. We also got a "Report Card" after each lesson that highlighted how it went. Super helpful. Brenna trained Tilly on the 1st and 3rd day and Jada trained Tilly on the 2nd day. Each were fantastic and couldn't have been more helpful and knowledgeable. They walked through the training collar process, commands and walking habits. They helped Tilly go from pulling on her harness to complete loose leash walking, how to get into her "Place", how to heal, and how to stay focused while around other distractions (dogs, cars, people, etc). Facilities were clean, well managed. Highly recommend Sit Means Sit, Brenna, Jada and Greg!

I worked with Cortney from Focused Dog Training about a year ago. I had just adopted my 4 year old…read moredog. She was/is wonderful! I say was and is because even after our sessions ended last year, she's still available for questions! Every now and then my dog will do something new and I don't know how to handle it. I just text Cortney and she's always quick with advice and ideas. During our training, Cortney came to my house and provided everything I needed like a mat, collars, leashes, etc. She walked me through training techniques and practiced with me at each session. I always left our sessions with homework to practice and continually reinforce the training. She took us (my dog and me) on walks and taught me how to use a leash correctly and appropriate commands and behaviors. The best testament to Cortney's skill is how EXCITED my dog is to see her. Whenever Cortney's around my dog is on her best behavior and can't wait to hang out with Cortney! Highly recommend Focused Dog Training!

For daycare, my puppy and I are welcomed with a big smile and a big hello to us both. When he is picked up, the staff tells us who he played with and how he did. They even are helping us train him to get comfortable in a kennel. During his boarding stay the staff went above and beyond to say the least. They gave him extra love when he would get nervous- they even put him in a thunder jacket to calm his worries. Amazing. We are so thankful. They took Christmas photos of him after a complementary bath which were adorable! They communicated so well (and fast) so that we were at ease being far away. I recommend Prairie Pawz to everyone and will continue to do so! Thanks Prairie Pawz for taking such good care of my baby!

The…read morebarking was nonstop, walks were a nightmare, and we had no idea what to do with this boundless energy. We opted for the board & train (if only to get a week of peace back at home) with the in-home lessons following. Enlisting the help of Suburban K-9 was the best decision we ever made- Salina was prompt, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. We learned the why behind our dog's behaviors as well as what to do to improve or correct them. Now we can walk off leash at a smart heel, his barking is massively improved, he comes when called with other dogs/people around along- things I've only ever seen dogs do on tv are things my dog can do! He is happy now that he knows what we need from him, and we are happy that his behaviors are no longer causing friction in the family. All our future dogs will be trained with the help of Suburban K9!

In one session, Alex had my puppy heeling on a walk beautifully. He took one look at what I was…read moreusing as a harness, changed it up and taught me how to let my dog know that I was in charge. From there, we continued on over the next few sessions, basing all commands on the foundation of me calling the shots, not my dog. I learned so much about the way dogs think, and how to work with that. Basically, I would say that Alex trained ME! I highly recommend this training program and will definitely use them again as needed. I would also add that despite the expense, this is a worthwhile investment in your future with dog. I hope for many years ahead with mine, and I feel that good training will make us both happier in the long run.

He's not trying to be a dog whisperer--some mystic with secret skills. It's about teaching both the dog and the owner about behavior that works. He's a teacher.

Absolute waste of money, do NOT send your dog here for dog training…read more We have a 3 year old black lab and she has some dog aggression when certain other dogs come by her nose. So we talked to A howling good time, and they said they could help with the issue. They recommended the 3 week board and train program. Which was $4,000. We were willing to pay that if it could help our dog. But it did NOT! We brought her home did everything a howling good time told us to do and absolutely nothing has changed. She still won't let other dogs by her. We have a 6 month old lab and we have to keep gates up in the house to keep them separated. We have tried slowly bringing them together and she has bitt the puppy twice now and drew blood luckily no vet visits yet. They said they worked on obedience training with her, we took videos of everything she knew how to do before we brought her to training, she knew sit, stay, come, lay down, roll over, shake, and place and was good on a leash so she knew all the basics. Literally all we needed was for them to work on 1 thing. A howling good time sent us videos while she was at training. I think we got maybe 2 videos the whole time she was there of them working on the dog aggression, all the rest of the videos were of them with no other dogs around working on the commands she already knew, not at all what we payed for or wanted. They gave us a new E-collar which it is nice but we pretty much payed $4000 for an E collar and for her staying there ridiculous. I am sending our new lab puppy to a 1 month obedience/gun dog intro training to one of the best trainers in Wisconsin if not the US and his 1 month training is $1500. I am also going to send our puppy to a intermediate gun dog training and that is a 16 week program and that is $6,000. A howling good time is a rip off do NOT send your dog here, their videos they post look good but we saw their results first hand and they are not good.
