We did ombediance training and one on one training with Meg. She has helped our dog George mature and grow his skills. As well she help him to control some of his impulses. She's very knowledgable and patient. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking dog training!
No one else does puppy socialization like Baby Dog. What does this mean? It means more staff on hand to curate the socializations, astute groupings of the dogs according to temperament (e.g. shy, boisterous), and ongoing commentary from staff describing dog behaviour in action (!). This last point is especially helpful to listen to, as you will begin to recognize the many signals/cues your puppies demonstrate for fear, aggression, modes of play, etc. Can't recommend Baby Dog highly enough. When we invite another puppy into our lives, we will return to Baby Dog. Note: to this day, when our dog sees Ruth and Aviva, she is so excited. They are some of her 'top' humans, as far as those she considers her 'pack'.
I would highly reccommend Dave to anybody! Helped me with basic obedience with my 2 year old dog (we never trained him at all) and the difference is night and day! Highly attentive and personalized service, Dave was always happy to help over the phone when I was frustrated or had questions. Call him. Now.
I was so impressed and happy with the work Danika did with my dog Higgins and I. Higgins is two and had a bad habit of jumping on people when he was excited - not aggressively, but given he is 80 lbs, he could hurt someone badly. Danika provided 4 private lessons and stayed very focused on the problem of jumping. She was knowlegeable, professional but also very fun to work with. Higs never never wanted her to leave! Most importantly, I now know what approach to take to make sure he stays under control.
I have brought two pups to the socialization classes with Baby Dog. They are awesome! Very knowledgeable and professional, always managing what’s going on with the dogs and genuinely seem to love what they do!
Amazing people and great help. My dog has gotten so far with them helping. I highly suggest tomey k9 to anyone.
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.
My pup was very shy at first and quite nervous around other dogs. After attending Babydog's Puppy Socializations he came out of his shell and had so much fun playing with the other dogs. They also taught me skills of what to look for in safe puppy play :) Can't recommend enough :)
