We attended the beginner and intermediate puppy classes by Patricia. Our Chihuahua puppy started off very timid and shy but with Patricia’s care and guidance, improved each week. By the end of the classes she was very sociable with the other pups and had learned many important commands. I would recommend these classes for anyone looking to socialize their dog and learn the essiential commands. Patricia is a wonderful, patient teacher. We had a lot of fun at the class and hope to join another one in the future!
Went to Beginner and Intermediate classes for my puppy with Patricia and absolutely recommend the service. Patricia was not only knowledgeable but helped with any puppy questions I had (and I had a lot!) and gave my dog all the attention she needed. Highly recommend!
A great pet store with all the necessities you need for pets. Our dog Dexter just graduated from the puppy training class thanks to the very helpful advice from our class trainer. Patricia was great and Dexter can’t wait for the intermediate class to start next week, he loves his outings at PetSmart.
We took our rescue pup, Holly, here for Beginner Training with Patricia. Patricia is amazing! She is so calm and patient with all of the dogs, and she really put my mind at ease. I was a bit nervous to take Holly to our first session (she’s a big girl with a past we’re still learning about), but she did so well and learned so much. Patricia is an excellent trainer, and the difference in Holly’s behaviour from Day 1 to now has been night and day. We look forward to using the tools we’ve learned to keep up the good work, will be continuing on to Intermediate Training later this summer.
My dog/puppy (Henry) and I just finished “beginner dog training” with Patricia. She was wonderful, but strict enough to make us want to practice at home so as not to disappoint her! (Or embarrass ourselves by not practicing!) my 4 month old puppy Henry can now sit, lay down, stay, wait, come, loose leash walk for short periods of time (normal)… and roll over, shake paw, other paw and perform puppy push ups! Incredible. We have signed up for “Intermediate dog training” with Patricia as well! Really looking forward to it!
Beginner Puppy training was fabulous with a practical and caring approach. Thank you, Patricia, our trainer, for your guidance and patience.
My dog Tyler is now in Intermediate classes. Patricia is an amazing instructor. She is very knowledgeable and patient with her students and Tyler has gone from being a totally out-of-control puppy to a well behaved obedient dog.
