Testimonials
I have a high energy Australian Shepherd puppy that has been through the Puppy Class and Basic Obedience Class. And doing very well. The trainer, Sarah, has a good program for training. She explains the steps very clearly. She is easy to talk to about issues you have with your dog and has good advice. The location and times for the classes are very convenient. The facility is very nice, bright and clean.

We just got done with the 4-week basic obedience course with our 11 month old puppy, Skye. The progress she made in those 4 weeks was amazing. The trainer, Sarah, is extremely knowledgeable and patient. The training strategies she taught us will enable us to continue our progress long after the class. We were impressed enough to sign up for another class focused on leash walking. Country Pup Kennels not only does longer training courses but also shorter, more focused, courses to allow people to work with their pups on specific needs. The owners, Mark and Sam, are very present and are very obviously dedicated to making this place the best.

We just finished the Basic Obedience class at Country Pup Kennel with Sarah, the trainer, and we can’t believe the difference in our dog. Class sizes are small and well-structured, covering all the essentials like look, sit, stay, down, recall, leash walking and more. But what really stood out was how Sarah tailored her teaching to meet each dog’s individual needs. She made sure no one felt left behind, and she really cares about each pups progress. Our pup is definitely more confident and better behaved. We highly recommend Sarah and Country Pup Kennel.
