Worst

The frequency and pattern of the reviews (they almost all start with the name of the dog and are all very generic dog names) indicate they were all written by the same person, or ...

Enjoyed learning the ?whys? of what works in training 12/1/2010

Enjoyed learning the ?whys? of what works in training and socializing with Josie, and having the teachers explain why we are doing what we?re doing when we introduce new commands. This is very helpful so I can continue the training with her at home. more

I am now in charge of my dog 11/15/2010

I improved with teaching Puck that I as the owner is in charge. The things I enjoyed was training the owners, the amount of praising, having more than one trainer to help me. I was taught how to give and use the right command, what I lacked versus what Puck was doing wrong. more

Vince has been so helpful 11/2/2010

When we first arrived Ouray seemed to be afraid of nearly everything. Now he enjoys being with all the puppies and enjoys learning. I enjoyed watching my son be able to bond with Ouray and know how to handle him when he doesn?t listen/obey like he should. Vince has been so helpful. We?ve had puppies that were small breeds. Having a larger breed of dog was, or is, more difficult (in my opinion) to work with. more
