Reviews about Dog Training Class

We took our Maltipoo to puppy kindergarten class. We loved the class and have learned SO much on how to train our dog. She is doing so well! Elizabeth is so knowledgeable and a wonderful teacher. Would highly recommend.

Lisa R

Elizabeth made us feel welcome, calm, and not judged, and was really good at meeting each participant where they’re at to create a supportive skill building and practice environment.

Sonya G

Puppy kindergarten was a good balance of learning and socializing. [Elizabeth] was patient and understanding and took the time to address individual questions

Kat M

Elizabeth is such a great trainer! She is very knowledgeable, and you can see improvements after just a few classes.

Catalina M

Elizabeth is extremely good at finding effective approaches to dogs with very different personal traits, and can clearly communicate to owners what is the best way forward.

Sonya G

Elizabeth was professional and understanding and taught me as much as she taught Hank. It was a great class. He is doing so much better. Highly recommend.

Alma

Elizabeth is by far the best dog trainer I’ve ever worked with! She really understands dog behavior and knows how to communicate it too.

How it all started

From the archives, this is one of our first CGC classes. We graduated three dogs, two of whom went on to actively participate in therapy dog work. Over the years, we get updates and pictures, and we couldn’t be prouder!
