Testimonials
“Carla is a MIRACLE worker and dog genius! She took my incredibly reactive dog and turned him into a well behaved little guy! We have work to do implementing all the training but the tools Carla and Doggieology101 provide you with are by far the best training tools and techniques we’ve ever experienced!”
– Leslie F.
“Our 2 dogs went to 3 weeks of the stay-n-train program. They are now at home and we’ve had zero aggression issues, zero peeing/pooping inside (which was a MAOR issue for one of our dogs) and a much orderly house! Now that the dogs are back, we realize how out of control our household was before. Even just going on a walk feels less chaotic. Melissa was great – she was VERY patient and explained things in a way that all of us (kids, included!) could understand. We appreciated her knowledge and honesty. We know we’ll go back to Doggieology 101 for boarding and refresher training. We were apprehensive about the cost, but it has been well worth it!”
– Morgan B.
“We adopted a 10 year old German Shorthair pointer with a few issues. The most severe ones were guarding us from other dogs, dog reactivity. guarding us at night, and recall. After a fight between our neighbor’s dog and our Bella it was time for some major interventions. What we were doing was not working. We talked with our neighbor and he recommend Doggieology 101 to us. We are so thrilled that they did. Melissa, Suzanne, and Carla are amazing. trainers. Bella is now a calm and happy dog who returns when we call. They gave us personal at home instructions while she was at their 2 week training program. We are still in 90 day training period but we determined to not ruin all of Doggieology’s hard work. They are still available to answer questions or to stop by and help if we are losing our way. Expensive program but so worth every penny. Oh and when Bella goes out and the neighbor dog is out they just ignore each other!”
