Testimonials
I’ve taken 3 of our dogs to A+ Dog Training. Some for agility, 2 for puppy classes, 1 for obedience and Canine Good Citizen training. I would definitely recommend taking your dog to A+ for classes with Lindy. She’s very to the point and gets results. She makes sure it’s a safe environment for pups, and the pricing is very reasonable.

We are very happy with our experience with our puppy class!! I would recommend coming here to get your dog train here. We were taught/ shown many things on what to do. Very well explained and we never thought we would see any progress with our puppy but we did. Our puppy knows how to do certain things and we couldn’t be any happier. I’m soo glad we came here and can’t wait to sign up for more classes!!
– Client
I brought my 1-year-old dachshund here for some dog training, specifically to help her learn how to walk nicely on when outside on a walk. She made dramatic improvements over the short 8 week period, not just in walking but in other behaviors as well. (Sit stay, down stay, and heeling). It was also a great chance to get her exposed to being around other dogs and people in a safe environment. The teachers were great, very experienced and had advice for all the different types of dog behaviors that you might encounter.

About the Trainer
A+ Dog Training has been helping dog owners for 27 years with training programs for all breeds and life stages, from Puppy Kindergarten to Competition Obedience, Agility, Conformation, and Nosework. They emphasize a safe, supportive environment where dogs learn essential behaviors like heeling, sit-stay, and recall while socializing with other dogs and people. Lindy, the primary trainer, is known for being direct, experienced, and results-driven, with a structured approach that builds on weekly progress and encourages consistent homework. Pricing is described as reasonable, and the facility offers ongoing opportunities for continued training as dogs grow.
They were recommended by a veterinarian and received praise for their helpfulness even before enrollment. Clients report dramatic improvements in behavior within short periods, especially in leash walking and obedience, and appreciate the clear instruction and supportive staff.
