Helping you and your dog learn together through practical, stress-free training that makes sense on both ends of the leash
My pup is about to age out of the puppy socialization class. She has learned so much. I am proud of how much she has accomplished through this program. It has made her much easier to live with. Thank you Baby Dog. We have also attended the Sunday dog walk. Hopefully, we will get to kore of these to keep the connection.
We took our puppy to Babydog at Bosleys it is 100% worth the 10 dollars for a drop in socialization class. We loved it so much we went 3 times a week for months. It really does help you learn your dogs body language, and getting to hold other peoples adorable puppies is priceless. If you like puppies you will love babydog
Great place knowledgeable and caring trainers
Meg was wonderful. She had such a calm approach with all the pups and understood they all come from different backgrounds. I highly recommend. :)
Aviva was very knowledgeable, personable and flexible.
Aviva has done amazing work helping my fear reactive dog come out of his shell. I have also worked in the past with BabyDog in puppy obedience classes, which were amazing. Highly recommend!
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 have thoroughly enjoyed both the puppy socialization classes and the obedience classes. The trainers are excellent with dogs AND people - always on time, professional, and knowledgeable.
