I'm biased, but BabyDog is really rad and they've done a great job with my dogs :)
Meg was wonderful. She had such a calm approach with all the pups and understood they all come from different backgrounds. I highly recommend. :)
Very happy with the work that Dave did with our dog Willow. He helped her with her reactivity, and in a short period of time we have already seen significant improvement.
We took our puppy Pitbull to babydog puppy socialization classes.The incredible rewards our pup and ourselves took back from them is fantastic.Our pup is a very happy well grounded pup who is growing so well cause of the classes and info I have received.Thanks so very much.Great work keep it up:) Zeus,Ray and Bridget :)
Exceedingly knowledgable trainer. Tara always came up with multiple options two promote desirable behaviour and correct unwanted ones.
Dave was exceptional with my beagle, Ryder. His patience and knowledge is exemplary. He gave me lots of great tips and helped Ryder become a more confident dog and thus, me a more confident owner.
We signed our dog up for puppy socialization class and Mojo loved Tara so much we booked her for individual training sessions. We learned so much and got excellent tailored help for Mojo's needs, plus there is lots of ongoing support if we need more help later on. Highly, highly recommend individual training with Tara!
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.
