Our dog was a handful before we met Danika Postle. Very aggressive and fearful of other dogs and people. We now have a new dog!! Danika is a wonder. Highly recommend. Very patient. The main training is the owners.
Took the level one Obedience class with BabyDog and had an amazing experience from start to finish. Great communication and help from the Admin team before and during the classes. Our Instructor Meg couldn't have been better for us / our dog Marcus. It was amazing how quickly he would learn from her and set a platform for us to continue with. Highly recommend to anyone with a new rescue dog looking to learn more!
Babydog was a huge help both for training and socializing my pup. They gave me a big headstart on training Chilkoot. Most trainers won't start working with pets until they're 6 months or more. By then mine had a good foundation. I would definitely recommend.
We are so happy with the progress our dog has made and recommend them to anyone! Our trainer Ruth was amazing and we had such a great time working with her.
It only took one lesson to see improvement in my dog. She has completely turned around in 4 lessons, and now we have the tools to keep growing on our own. The other dog owners in our neighborhood are constantly complimenting Beans on how far she’s come!
Puppy socialization taught my pup so many lessons, and obedience classes taught me so many more. Amazing experience all around. Massive thank yous to Rebecca, Alysha and Danika. Incredible trainers! We wouldn't have the pup we have today without your help
We have taken both our puppies to BabyDog with fantastic results. Our training has never gone this well before. BabyDog is always focused on positive reinforcements and finding a training method the is kind and working well for our puppies.
I have worked with Dave Tomey and can't say enough about how much he has helped me and my little dude, a Mexi rescue who was terrified of his own shadow and struggling to adjust to a new environment. I highly recommend Dave's services.
