Testimonials

“We have visited this facility three times. We brought our <6 month old Labrador retriever to 2 puppy play sessions which were $18 each and ~45 minutes and attended 1 'Ready, Set, Go! (Finding the Right Class For Your Dog)' which was $60 for 90min. Both sets of trainers were very kind, calm, knowledgeable, nonjudgmental and helpful. The facility is organized, clean, with plenty of room for the dogs to run around and play. The floor is easy to clean up if accidents occur as well. There is free parking and a couple of grassy/dirty spots for your pup to use the bathroom. We definitely enjoyed our time here and I believe our dog, Phil, did as well!”

“We've been coming for a few months now, first attending puppy play classes when he was younger to get him used to other puppies, after he aged out of that we tried the 'Ready, Set, Go!' Class where you can sample all of the classes offered for a great price, and we decided on puppy agility to boost his confidence. He has definitely come out of his shell more after we practice agility, still shy but is less standoffish with strangers now. I really have enjoyed all of the classes we have done so far, and feel confident in the staff.”
– Client

“Eric Sanford did a great job with the reactive dog class. If you do the training and stick to it, it will really help. He gives you great tools and tips to use and it can improve the dogs behavior, it's up to you if you want to use them but it will help. We personalty saw results with just two classes over two weeks and see even more after all the classes were done. Eric is very knowledgeable about dog behavior so ask a lot of questions and you can learn a lot in a short time.”
