Testimonials

We love PLD! Have taken our dogs to them for about a year now and have made incredible progress. The service is professional, courteous, and the space is clean and well kept. The staff all around is friendly and they seem to enjoy their jobs, love dogs, and have shown genuine care. Prices are reasonable, not the cheapest but not the most expensive either. Trainers Mari and Greg have been excellent and life savers. We did puppy prep for life and have done some canine conditioning and reactivity work with them. We also really like their grooming services. Highly recommend! 🙂

My little puppers, Sterling, has been going to school at Peace Love Dogs for a couple weeks and is currently in the 2 weeks lodge and learn. The staff are super friendly and very attentive to all his needs. Their facility is extremely clean and well maintained. It is also far away from busy roads which is good for the wee pups. They come out to the car in the morning and bring them back to you in the afternoon if you’re doing a daycare drop off.

I cannot say enough about Peace Love Dogs and our trainer, Greg, who has been working with me and my sweet pup, Emmy. Emmy developed great foundational skills while working with Greg in Puppy Prep School, but her real progress has come as a result of the private lessons and day training we’ve been doing with Greg more recently to target some newly developed reactivity issues. Greg has transformed our relationship. Emmy and I were often frustrated with each other before, but we’re now working as a team. Thanks to his guidance, I better understand her needs and she is actively engaged with me and working hard. We’re making incredible progress in leash walking, engagement, and recall. A year ago, I didn’t think this kind of progress was even possible.
