Testimonials
Dog School 101 is an absolute gem of a dog daycare and training center! Our experience with Sandy was nothing short of exceptional. Her passion for dogs shines through in every interaction, and her expertise and experience in dog behavior and training are truly impressive.
We had tried another dog daycare before, but they didn’t seem to care about training or behavior. This was not the case at Dog School 101! Sandy took the time to discuss our concerns and goals for our dog, and provided us with valuable insights and recommendations to improve our dog’s behavior.
The best part is that we haven’t even started the formal training classes yet, but we’re already seeing a massive improvement in our dog’s behavior simply by implementing the changes that Sandy recommended. Her approach to training is effective and tailored to each dog’s unique needs, and we couldn’t be happier with the results.
Overall, we would highly recommend Dog School 101 to any dog owner looking for a top-notch daycare and training center. Sandy and her team are truly exceptional, and we’re grateful for the positive impact they’ve had on our furry child. Thank you, Dog School 101, Sandy and Lisa!

Sandy is the best!! My dog looks forward to going to daycare every week. Miss Sandy cares so much about the fur babies. I also took my dog to the beginner obedience class and let me tell you. There is major improvement from how my dog was in the beginning of the class to the end. I’ve learned to much from Miss Sandy on how to better understand my dog and learning to be patient when it comes to training. I highly recommend taking your dog to Dog School 101! Sandy and her staff want to get to know you and fur baby on a personal level and they do a great job with their services.
