DROP THE LEASH! REVIEWS
Laura and Jesse are amazing. Jasper is very obedient and whenever a biker, runner or other dog pass by, he sits down and waits for them to pass. He doesn't jump when other dogs are around. I could bring him to the mall and he stays by my side and always glances up at me to ask for permission. We will be putting him in their other programs too. Hubby and I are very happy and pleased and would recommend Drop The Leash to anyone.
Our GSP, Buck, is a part of the Walks That Work program for reactive dogs. Yesterday we walked past a dog who was maybe 20 feet away, unleashed and barking, and Buck and Jocelyn got past using 1 2 3 with no incident!!! It was a big deal!!! We were so proud of him and so pumped about it. Thanks Laura!!!
We are going into week 4 of Games that train and I am already seeing a great improvement with engagement and listening. We’ve been to other group training and they helped build a good foundation, but something about how Laura explains why you are doing these exercises, is really helping me improve MY technique and consistency. Our forest, long lead walks have improved, as he checks in more often, stays closer and has better recall (less pulling the lead to bring him away from a distraction) This has been an excellent class to add to our teachings and the most effective one yet.

K9'S IN KAHOOTS REVIEWS
We love K9 in Kahoots! Our dog goes to daycare 2 times a week and he absolutely loves it there. The staff is amazing and very friendly. We also do private training sessions with Darlene. She has done such a wonderful job with him. We have learned so much and he has come such a long way in a short period of time. Darlene is very knowledgeable and is excellent at training. We would recommend to everyone!
We knew we needed help with our pups..started looking on line & found Darlene. After speaking with her on the phone, she seemed like she would be a good fit...& were we right!! In four sessions we have gone from being unable to walk the dogs without them pulling, jumping & being unruly to calm, enjoyable trips. Darlene has a wealth of knowledge & is more than willing share. If you do your "homework", you will see results. We are looking forward to more sessions with her. Chris & Nancy Garnet & Tilley.
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
My dog Scout attends daycare at Muttz with Mannerz on a weekly basis and I have taken several of its courses including Agility, Scent Detection, private classes and Doga. Scout loves the enrichment exercises offered and has made several doggie friends. The daycare is truly exceptional; it provides a fun, loving, safe and stimulating place for dogs. I highly recommend Corey, Barbara and the staff for their care and dedication to dogs and continuing education for pet owners.
Muttz with Mannerz is a wonderful place to take your puppy/dog to learn obedience and/or to have fun! There are so many classes offered to choose from to suit yours and your pet's needs. Not only does your furry friend learn, so do their humans. Doggie daycare is a great option for socializing and a way to keep your pup exercised and happy when you don't have the time yourself. Having a dog is a wonderful experience and with guidance from the teachers/advisors at Muttz, it can be an exceptional one!
My dog loves going to Muttz! The staff are professional and polite - they really know their stuff. The daycare programming for the dogs is great - your dog is not just running around playing all day but actually learning things and having all of their senses stimulated.
