I felt the sessions the trainer provided us were kind of weak and basic, during the course of 5 months the office or the trainer canceled several times. I paid for 10 sessions and got 7 sessions all of which I was told were supposed to be 1-hour sessions but never got more than 45 mins total per session. I called a few weeks ago after no contact from their main office or trainer for a month asking what was going on and for a refund, but they haven't responded other than to know they don't offer refunds. I feel their main office and trainers do not do a good job of contacting you and my dog is still terribly scared of other dogs and has made little improvement.

Our dog has been snap to angry irritation lately. Our vet recommended classes. Dynamite came recommended not just by the vet but by friends. The rate was a few bucks but there were others with crazy higher rates. Our first class or 2 were good. Our dog does like a game and was so happy learning the commands via games and rewards. Our instructor recommended for social skills to maybe switch to 1/2 or full day visits. A doggie day school. We switched to that. It's been a couple weeks now and its been good. They work hard to train him. They post videos, many of which are on line before we even pick him up. It gives us the joy of seeing how much fun he is having. He is always looking so happy learning(and getting treats). I'm glad Dynamite Dog Training was recommended to us, its worked out well.

Awesome, awesome experience for me and my dog Big Daddy…read more my big, 2.5 yr old boy was going crazy when new people came around. He was jumpy, it was hard for me to control him and it was offensive to others because he weighs 65 lbs. i like fixing things, so we put ourselves through training with Mike & Champion Dog Training. At the first lesson i was excited and felt great leaving, but during the first week i was scared to enforce because doggie was sensitive to the collar. Mike gave me a little pep talk over the phone and we made it to our 2nd lesson. I cannot get him into a down/stay using force, Mike says Im soft on him, but he's doing great with everything else we learned. Stay, Stand, Sit, Heel, he's a very smart boy & im very proud. We have continued practicing even after completing the 4 week course. I now feel confident I can control him and there has been a shift in Big D., like he knows I expect more and is waiting on my que. Even his dog walker said he has really improved and she did not know he was training.

My husband and I have two senior dogs (9 and 10 y/o) and a 10 month old cattle dog mix puppy named Freya. Our goal was to "tidy up the manners" of the older pups but also focus mainly on Freya as she was much harder to keep focused on a task and higher energy than even our border collie was as a puppy! She pulled HARD in her harness, couldn't sit still to learn commands without getting distracted, and barked when her canine sisters barked at anything. We also wanted to be sure that the older dogs' other bad habits weren't going to rub off on Freya too much. This was barking at doorbells/knocks/deliveries and also jumping up on whoever walked through the front door, both us and our friends. Heather's methods are so logical, effective, and easy to put into practice; two months after our sessions with her the training has stuck! Our friends comment on how good our pups are when they arrive, no longer barking excitedly and leaping up on them but quietly waiting with tails wagging for the ok to approach and receive attention. On walks with the prong collars that she recommended on, our two dogs that would pull no longer do as they receive a quick gentle tug on their collars otherwise. They've, all three, gotten so much better at not barking at other people we pass on our walks as well. Her prices for sessions are more than reasonable and well worth it! Thank you so much, Heather!

Her saving grace is that she is a cuite pie and total goof ball. Desperate, we enlisted the help of Danielle (the Golden Whisper!) and two weeks later we picked up a DIFFERENT DOG (in the best way!) Now our sweet Rose is a joy to have in our home, she knows her "place" (area to sit and wait for our command to release her), she has stopped nipping our kids, does not steal food, and finally walks with ease and confidence. This is an investment well worth every single dollar. We are so happy we found the Dog Training Clinic! So much so, that Rose now boards with them whenever we go away from town, and she loves her mini staycations with Danielle :)

I can't recommend Susan's PlayTrainDog classes enough. We took both puppy kindergarten and basic…read moredoggy manners with PlayTrainDog, and we're so happy Susan helped give our Willow such a positive start in life. We adopted Willow when she was 8 weeks old. Before her, we had a wonderful dog who unfortunately had some fear issues with other dogs. We knew we needed positive socialization for Willow as early in life as possible, so we looked for the best training experience to get her into as soon as she was ready. We're so glad we found Susan. Willow loved her weekend training sessions at the park with her new friends so much. Being able to learn and play with other well behaved pups in such a positive group setting was an invaluable experience that we absolutely treasure. Puppy kindergarten really helped with basic socialization. Willow was shy when she was little. She hid under our lawn chair during part of the first class and just watched the other puppies from a safe place. In the group classes Susan made sure puppies were matched with others close to their own size and energy level, so shyer puppies could have a low key, non threatening introduction to each other. Gradually Willow gained confidence around even friskier pups, and now she loves other dogs of all sizes and energy levels, so much. She will actually try to match herself to the other dogs, so she is happy to frisk with high energy dogs, but with smaller or even shy big dogs, she'll lay down and play gently at their level. One of the first things she learned in puppy class was the Touch command, and that has really helped with her confidence and manners when meeting people. We didn't realize how important this command was, until after she had graduated from the puppy classes, and we took a trip to visit family. She was 8 months old and had already gained a lot of confidence from classes. But unexpectedly, we had not one but two different grownup male relatives who love dogs, but thought it would be fun to play-bark at her. She got really nervous around them, and afterward when we took her in public during that trip, she became suspicious when meeting men and even growled when a large man she didn't know approached her. We went back to basics and asked family as well as new people to introduce themselves by putting their hand out, and asked her to "Touch" their hand. This put her more in charge of the interaction, and allowed her to feel more relaxed and confident around new people. Now she has really gotten past that anxiety. She is so happy to meet people and dogs that when she gets close to them, she often melts into a lay-down while doing a full body wag-crawl toward them, to show how much she wants to meet and be friends. Lol. We also learned the 'Watch Me' command, which helps in so many situations. It helps to refocus and connect during walks, and when we're out in public if she's becoming distracted or excited. It helps 'get her head back in the game' so to speak. Together with 'leave-it', it helps with impulse control, so she can focus on me and remember her training. We learned so much in these classes but it's funny that the most basic things are proving to be the most important every day. In Basic Doggy Manners, we built on earlier skills and learned to help her be a better companion out in the world. She learned a solid heel, loose-leash walking, and a 3-second recall. She learned to pass other dogs or distractions without pulling, and working dog commands so we can communicate non-verbally, or at a distance. All these things we practice every day, and it helps build our bond always using positive reinforcement and life rewards. Willow is a border collie and a big thing for her is pulling toward things that roll, ie bicycles, roller skaters, trucks, golf carts, motorcycles. Susan helped us address this and learn how to help her, so she can be safer in public with us. We are still working on this, but so glad we have the tools to help her, and are seeing improvement. In addition to all these things, we learned to apply the 3 D's of dog training (distance, distraction, duration) throughout her training activities, and learned to use life rewards to motivate her. Willow isn't very food motivated, but she is very play-motivated, so we learned to use that to reward her for mastering new behaviors. This is a lot I know, but I'm leaving out so much more that we learned. We had so much fun and learned so much in these training sessions, and we practice and continue to build on the things we learned every day. We treasure the experience and absolutely recommend Susan's PlayTrainDog classes for anyone who wants to give their puppy the best possible start in life.

If you want to train your dog, and you are willing to do the work, she is as good as it gets! We had a Shiba Inu, a rather tough dog to train, and Lindy was patient and wonderful working with me and our Shiba. We had him (Shiba) for almost 15 years and every day was incredible because of the work Lindy did WITH us. For those that want to "wish upon a star" and "hope" their dog is just trained overnight, it does not work like that. Lindy is a hands on instructor, but you have to put in the time and EFFORT to work with your dog everyday! I called Lindy again 5 years after our Shiba to train our rescue dog Max and once again she was incredible. This time we did "in home" and class setting and once again, with absolutely wonderful results. We just recently (2 weeks ago) adopted another Shiba and before she came home the FIRST call I made was to Lindy to schedule "in home" training. At 11 weeks, she can now "sit", "leave it", "down", "go outside", "inside", and "Sadie" (name recognition). And this was just ONE session. I am a raving fan of Lindy Nolan Dog Training and would say to anyone who may have anything less than "pawsitive" things to say....you may want to ask yourself, "How much work did YOU do?" I personally, would never bring a dog into my home without using Lindy and "Pawsitive" training methods. Ever.
