Testimonials
“Just finished 19 weeks of dog training with towers amazing trainer. My dog got her AKC Star puppy, as well as the very first stepping stone she needs to become a certified therapy dog. She got her AKC CGC our next step is to join a local therapy dog group that volunteers to finish her certification. We are so excited with the knowledge we gained from the 3 class levels we were taught. I have tried field of dreams and had a horrible experience. This Petco dog trainer knows her stuff happy to learn she has passed her CPDT it’s nice to have a trainer that has more than just basic training. She went above and beyond she was always there for me every single step of the way with anything and everything I could ever need.”
– Customer
“Took the one of my dogs there for dog training and was assured that they would be able to train them for therapy and service dog training by the trainer at the towers mall location… Only to find out later that trainer purposely misled and received basic obedience training l. I will never bring any more of my pets to this company for anything. Because of this I am back to square one on getting the same animal certified with another trainer that will be honest with their clients.”
