We attended Babydog’s puppy socialization classes and they were awesome. Aviva and her team really know their stuff. I highly recommend!
BabyDog was recommended to me by a friend and now I am in a position to recommend them to my friends and family. I contacted BabyDog for private sessions to help me improve my puppy’s impulse control. My Jack Russell Terrier had a terrible habit of picking things up and eating them - everything. Even dangerous things. I was at the point where I felt I could not keep him safe and I was considering rehoming him. The Baby Dog trainer and I worked slowly and methodically building a strong foundation of impulse control commands such as no, leave it, drop it, sit/stay, and place. We added one or two new skills every week. As my pup improved we worked on walking skills and recall. Everything finally came together and now my pup lives safely and happily, as a member of our family, and loves training every day. I am so pleased with my investment in my dog and my partnership with BabyDog. Their training methodology is science-based, gentle, kind, and it has proven itself effective for my dog. I found the trainer to be knowledgeable, skilled, patient, and kind. She was an excellent communicator for both handler and puppy. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with her, gaining confidence in my ability to teach my pup and his capacity to learn. My dog and I are now a team, training every day, and continuing to solidify the skills we have learned. I am a BabyDog customer for life.
Dave was such a huge help in getting our 8 month old Shiba's fear barking under control. Despite doing our best to socialize him when he was young, he for some reason developed a fear of people and would bark uncontrollably if he was surprised by someone. We read several books and watched tons of Youtube videos in an effort to address it, but couldn't get any traction. Dave was able to help us get it under control in just a few sessions. While he doesn't exactly "like" people, he is now a quiet and confident dog around them. What a difference! I'd highly recommend their puppy socialization classes at Bosley's as well.
Exceedingly knowledgable trainer. Tara always came up with multiple options two promote desirable behaviour and correct unwanted ones.
Maisy & I really enjoyed & learned a lot from our puppy classes. Definitely recommend!!
we did our first 4 sessions with Danica. We have a stubborn breed and are very happy with the results we got. So rewarding!
We took Finley to both the socialization and obedience classes. What a great time we had! We both learned so much from Aviva! It it so important for new puppy parents to get your dog socialized!
Amazing people and great help. My dog has gotten so far with them helping. I highly suggest tomey k9 to anyone.
