Testimonials

Jessi and Craig are next level. They have expanded my knowledge and been incredible to work with, helped me fine tune my dog training skills, and grow exponentially. They take wonderful care of my working dogs when I’m away, my pups always return fulfilled and their obedience sharpened. Cannot recommend them enough!
– Client

I wouldn’t trust the care or wellbeing of my pup to anyone else! Jessi, Craig, and team are both knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. They instantly made me feel at ease during our training consultation and I appreciate how flexible they have been for boarding. I have total peace of mind when Wolfie stays with them! He gets everything he needs and more during his stay. I appreciate the expertise and kindness of the team and all that they have done for us. I can’t recommend That Dog Trainer enough for your training or boarding needs. I’m looking forward to more training sessions and group classes!
– Client

Craig and Jesse are amazing at what they do! I’ve been doing one on one sessions with my dog and she’s made a ton of progress in just a couple of sessions. I recently had some things come up and put my dog in a board and train with them, they send me updates daily and show me the progress, if there’s anything I specifically want them to train they immediately address it. 100% recommend them
