We took our puppy Pitbull to babydog puppy socialization classes.The incredible rewards our pup and ourselves took back from them is fantastic.Our pup is a very happy well grounded pup who is growing so well cause of the classes and info I have received.Thanks so very much.Great work keep it up:) Zeus,Ray and Bridget :)
we did our first 4 sessions with Danica. We have a stubborn breed and are very happy with the results we got. So rewarding!
It only took one lesson to see improvement in my dog. She has completely turned around in 4 lessons, and now we have the tools to keep growing on our own. The other dog owners in our neighborhood are constantly complimenting Beans on how far she’s come!
When I was being challenged by training my large teenage Golden, I asked Aviva to help me get back on track. We had taken him to puppy socialization previously and knew Aviva would be the trainer that could help us because of her experience and the gentle but firm way she has with dogs. I learned what I needed to do in order to have Monte pay attention and listen to me. We have a much calmer dog now that he respects me as a leader. Thank you, Aviva, you gave me practical and simple things to do so I could be successful with him and consistency and practice have really paid off. Our lives have changed for the better!
My poodle puppy was frightened of everything and becoming reactive. I was desperate for help. We tried classes with no results. Avila suggested the Sunday pack walks as a non-threatening way to socialize him. She always took the time to let everyone know that we needed our space and every week Vincent got more comfortable. 6 months later, Vince is walking comfortably in the middle of the pack, he’s confident and happy. He is maturing into a very cool dude, and I can take him anywhere. Thank you Babydog for helping us.
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 :)
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!
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
