My partner and I adopted our first dog and decided on Good Choice Dog Training for obedience training. What a good decision it was! Alissa and Barb were absolutely wonderful. They are really focused on encouraging your dog to make progress at their own pace, without fear. For people who are new to puppy parenting and need instructors who are patient and kind, I would 10/10 recommend. We also looked at PetSmart but what’s better than supporting local, small businesses?!
Becky knows dogs! I adopted a dog (Jack Russell) who's a little more than I could handle. After only 2 lessons, we are making great headway. Becky has shared so much knowledge that I didn't know or think of that is really beneficial for me and Thumper.
I simply can not say enough about the staff and programming of Good Choice Dog Training! The patience and consistency, techniques, and skills taught are some of the most effective and enduring. Utilizing kindness and understanding of each and every breed in attendance, the ladies of Good Choice easily make you feel welcome, important, and as part of the family. You'll be making more than a "good choice" if you decide to enroll your 4 legged family member in these sessions! !🐕🤍
Becky is amazing. She is kind, thoughtful and wonderful to work with. I have had two sessions so far and I am very pleased with the progress. My dog is very nervous and shut down for the first session, we still learned a lot on how to help him. For the second we were able to schedule an at home visit and it helped us to learn more strategies and how to support him.
I took Becky's Life Skills class with my 1yr golden retriever. She does a fantastic job managing the room and building up the teams so the dogs can work through distractions that are challenging but not overwhelming.
The facility was clean and easy to get to and there was a large variety equipment available during the enrichment portion when we did star puppy class for our girl to explore. The one word of warming is that the room gets very hot during the warmer days (80+ degrees outside temps feel better than being inside). Overall though a great experience!
