DROP THE LEASH! REVIEWS
I just completed my first agility/games course at Drop the Leash. It was outstanding. Found it fun and stimulating for both my dog and myself. Who knew one could train while playing! Laura and Celeste trainers are very knowledgeable. With their guidance, I have totally transformed my opinion on training and my general relationship and interactions with my dog. I can't wait for the next session.
Laura is fantastic. Highly knowledgeable and patient. We have a highly reactive dog and her training methods are definitely helping us get through a very difficult situation.
Laura is amazing! We have used her guidance with 2 dogs nows. Our last Rescue was reactive and Laura worked with us to make it manageable and make our doggo a much better companion. We have now done puppy classes and are in the middle of the introduction to agility with our new pup. I can't say enough about Laura. She is a great person and a wealth of knowledge.

K9'S IN KAHOOTS REVIEWS
Our puppy just completed Puppy 2 Beginner and we had a great experience at K9 in Kahoots with Darlene. She is a very knowledgeable teacher, that explained the basic obedience commands, demonstrated them, and gave us time to practice. She followed each class with a handout for home practice and each week built on skills. We learned a lot and so did our pup, Camper! We will back back in the future, highly recommend :).
We brought our 8 month old Retriever for training with Darlene and the dog learned a ton of new commands. We never thought we could walk her without a gentle leader but by week 3 we weren't using it at all anymore.We told Darlene 3 specific problems we had with our dog and she provided guidance on how to overcome each and we are delighted that none are a problem anymore. The best thing about training is that Darlene teaches her set lessons and also individualized guidance for each student. We highly recommend K9's in Kahoots and will be returning for intermediate lessons in the future. Thank you Darlene! Cathy & Warren Goodman.
Love K9 in Kahoots. The staff is very friendly, great with our dog, and accommodating. Our dog goes there a few times a week and is she is so excited every time we drop her off. Darlene always has great tips for us as well, as we are first time dog owners. We also use their dog walking services and Angela is just wonderful and caring. Would definitely recommend to everyone.

MUTTZ WITH MANNERZ REVIEWS
Corey and her team were excellent and so knowledgable. All trainers were great and helpful training us (my kids and I) as much as our new pup. Their comment "the puppy is training you as much (or more) then you are training them". Their slight comments and corections to my kids and I were so helpful. You can NOT get that on a video as I was doing many things wrong. Thanks Muttz with Manners. Kiwi and The Mitchells.
Great place!! Love their groomer Kelli! She is amazing with our purebred Swiss Mountain Dog; took time from when she was a pup to gradually introduce Peggy to the world of baths, clippers and blow dryers! She has also been grooming our cockapoo for OVER 10 years and understands his quirks and fears - she even took the time to give him a 20 minute soothing holistic shower when his allergies were driving him crazy (worked like a charm!). When our previous Golden Doodle was quite sick Kelli ever so gently was able to clip him up for the vets (allowing them to visibly see his tumors) with patience and kindness, understanding how much pain he was in and working within his limitations - Trust Kelli completely with our pets and wouldn't go anywhere else. Highly recommend to all.
Thanks for putting on the great show for our camp!!!
