Testimonials
We’ve been coming to scent training classes here for over a year and absolutely love it. Penny and her staff are extraordinary knowledgeable about dog training and behavior and they’ve not just taught my dog but also made me a much better dog trainer. Plus, my dog can now use her nose to find my keys if I ask her to which is the coolest trick we know.

My mini australian shepherd and I love Penny Scott Fox Training! We started agility at the beginning of the fall, and I loved the fun and supportive atmosphere for the beginners. Both trainers understand dog behavior at its core and work with a variety of dogs. The progress of the classes fit my dog perfectly and now we’re ready for level 3! Great way to bond with your dog and get them outside, working, and having fun!

Just beginning with Penny, great educator and understands the possibilities for successful training without food. The bonding created and the stopping as the dog guide self back to desired behavior is a stress free and positive learning. Communication with hands and behind the scenes bonding is magical. Thank you, grateful for the process as we create a team for a lifetime. Deep gratitude. Highly recommend.
