Testimonials

Brooke & Madison are great trainers. They take the time to listen to the concerns and behaviors going on with your dog and work to build a plan that works for you and your dog. They treat the dogs they work with as one of their own dogs! They are super supportive and care about the overall success of you and your dog’s progress! All of my dogs have stayed with CoDa and loved their stay and were super excited to come back a visit. Two of mine visit regularly for training and they are always excited to load up and head to CoDa to see Madison & Brooke! Also love that they work with dogs and humans of all ages. They are great at helping the kids to better communicate with the dogs and helping the dogs understand appropriate behaviors when interacting with people.

Madison Davis is a Rockstar!! She has worked with all of my dogs and not only do they love her but so do we! She is very knowledgeable and has been a great teacher for both me and my dogs. 100% recommend!!!
– J. Stark

We sent our puppy for the board and train and it was awesome! Our dog is naturally shy and submissive but is confident and well-socialized thanks to the early work they did with her, and the training they gave us. Other puppy programs we called insisted that e-collars were a mandatory part of their process, which made us nervous since she’s pretty sensitive. We love that CoDa is thoughtful and intentional with each dog they see, and they don’t use strong corrections indiscriminately. They take the time to get to know your dog and figure out what she needs to set her up for success. Would definitely recommend!
