Testimonials
“I attended the District Dogs Reactive Class with my dog, Finley. The class was structured in a way that allowed Finley to get used to other dogs in a gradual, consistent and steady way. It was skillfully done and I can see the positive difference it has made when I am walking him. Kathryn, the trainer, and her team were supportive, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable.”
– Kathryn
“Our dog Rumi has thrived from attending structured daycare at district dogs! He lost some socialization skills and confidence over the last year and needed a smooth and slow re-entry to interacting with dogs in a supervised and safe environment and he got exactly that working with trainer Avi and the District Dogs team.”
– Rumi’s Owner
“Both Apollo and his humans learned a ton during his Reactive Dog class at District Dogs. Kathryn and the rest of the staff were wonderful! They were clear in their instructions and very patient! 10/10 would recommend to any dog owner!”
– Apollo’s Owner
