- LLLindsay Larkin6 days ago5.0I just picked up my Lab after her 4-week training program at The Dog Knowledge, and I couldn’t be happier. She’s a high-energy dog, and they did an incredible job helping her build focus and really strengthen her house obedience. I can already see such a positive difference in how she listens and settles at home. The team was wonderful throughout the entire process—patient, communicative, and clearly invested in her success. I’m excited to keep the momentum going with Sunday training sessions and to continue using their boarding/daycare. Truly so thankful for the care and training she received!
- SJSara JarvisNov 10, 20255.0The training that The Dog Knowledge offers has been pivotal for our household. We have gone from total Chaos to Calm and enjoyable and our walks are have gone from reactive to controlled, calm and enjoyable. Kevin and I are communicating better and I am now able to give him the mental exercise he needs on top of the physical exercise. The trainers have been so great at offering ongoing suggestions and help since Kevin has come home. I love that all of the staff is on the same page so no matter who your dog is working with they are all exposing the pups to the same training. As well as you can take advantage of on going training for the life of your pup. I cannot say enough about how grateful we are to have found The Dog Knowledge.
- KVKelly VanderhaveNov 6, 20255.0After a lot of research we chose TDK for puppy training and could not be happier. We loved the weekly updates and photos. She came home with great instructions, home visits and videos to watch to keep the good habits going. She settled back into our home with no problems. We will soon be boarding club members and look forward to future visits at TDK.
- BABlake ArceneauxOct 15, 20255.0First I'd like to say thank you. Maggie took part in your 4 week course and came back way more confident and way more relaxed during our walks. The community at Dog Knowledge is also great. Your team worked with us one on one to re-enforce some skills that started slip. She a great dog and I'm glad we learned what we needed to show her off.
- BRBeth RalstonOct 7, 20255.0Our nine month old high energy lab just completed 4 weeks with The Dog Knowledge. We were delighted with his improved self control and obedience. He is a high energy dog with a desire to please but can be very resistant and impulsive. Dennis makes it very clear that dogs do not speak English and live in what can be a confusing world. The trainers, however, clearly speak DOG. We were very impressed with the individual customizing that occurs for different dog personalities. We are grateful for the help Emily has given both our dog and us. We look forward to her home visit as well as following up twice a month on Sunday afternoons for practice and guidance. We appreciate their positive reinforcement approach to training (although leash/collar correction must occur,) and "Yes!" has become our new favorite word!
