“If you are looking for a fear free positive reinforcement trainer, dog daycare or need to board your dogs, I highly recommend Arfordable Dog Training. I wouldn’t take my girls anywhere else. Every member of the staff is amazing. They treat my girls like their own and more importantly my girls absolutely love them.”
-Stacey S.

“Thanks to Jessica and her team, a dog once deemed aggressive and un-adoptable got a second lease on life. With lots of patience and training from the team, Akita found her forever home and now lives with two other fur siblings.”
-Mari C.

“We met Jessica and arfordable dog in 2021 and couldn’t imagine life with out her and the staff at Arfordable now. It may sounds crazy, but it’s true 2 of or 3 out bulldogs have lifetime memberships, and look forward to their Wednesday classes. Weather it is training or boarding we couldn’t imagine our life without arfordable dog training.”
-Toni K.
