Testimonials
“About 1.5 years ago, I started agility training with Jennifer Walsh at Lucky Dog. It’s important to point out that months prior to starting at Lucky Dog, I was asked to leave another agility program because they felt my dog and I did not have the aptitude for agility. Lucky Dog has been a great experience for us! Not only have we learned the basics of agility, but Jen has helped me to deepen the bond I have with my dog and better understand how to motivate him and bring positive energy into our training. Jen has provided us with tons of encouragement, support, and positive reinforcement. Before coming to Lucky Dog, I started to really doubt whether or not we would be able to compete in agility trials. However, I am thrilled to report that we have begun competing and placed first in three events at our first CPE trial! I am so grateful to Lucky Dog and Jen for helping us to grow in this super fun sport. I would wholeheartedly recommend Lucky Dog and Jen to anyone interested in learning agility!”

“We just completed our puppy/level 1 class, and it was terrific! The information I received was extremely helpful. I highly recommend this facility and will definitely return for further training for our puppy, Penny!”
– Client
“We are so incredibly appreciative and impressed with this training!! It is 100% positive reinforcement! Our dogs came in way behind everyone else in puppy kindergarten and the trainers really helped our dogs with recommendations and accommodations during the training. We are so happy we did this. It was worth every penny and we highly recommend them!”
