My boyfriend and I had many training sessions with Danika Postle! The training we got was so positive and our puppy I’m pretty sure loves her more than us ! In all honesty the best dog training experience I’ve had is with her and this company and I recommend to anyone I know with a puppy :)
Dave is great to work with and really knows how to train the human and your dog with understanding, compassion and patience. He is a great resource for how to's, and really went above and beyond when I messaged with an SOS in between training sessions. Thank you again and I highly recommend!
We went to Babydog's socialization classes from 8 weeks till about 6 or 7 months and it was amazing! Madeline learned to be around every kind of dog and a lot of different people also. If you have a young dog that you want to learn the ways of the world in a safe and fun environment, I cant imagine a better experience than we had at Babydog!!!
Aviva was great with our young dog Luna! She was very knowledgable and had great suggestions with everything we asked her about. Our dog deals with a variety of issues (over sensitivity, hyperactive, aggression, fear etc.) and each week we threw her something new that Luna was dealing with and she knew right away how to help us and give us the tools to help our dog. I would recommend her to anyone!
Aviva and BabyDog have a wonderful combination of technical training ability and a true love of dogs. This shows in everything they do-- private training, group classes, walks, and communicating with the pet's owners. I recommend them any time I can.
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
Our trainer was intelligent, skilled, and kind. Helped us understand our own dog’s behaviour better and provided us tips and tricks to help us care for her safely in all settings. While we’ve had other dogs in the past, we’ve never had a bully breed so appreciated her generalized as well as her personalized insights. Always felt supported. Worth every penny.
We did private lessons with Danika for our new puppy and could not be happy with the experience. She was knowledgable, thorough, and you can clearly see how passionate she is about her job and dogs. Would recommend to anyone with a new puppy or looking to improve their relationship with their dog. Decibels going to come back for intermediate lessons in the spring!
