I recently enrolled my two Shih Tzu puppies in a training program with BADDogsInc, and it has been a fantastic experience. The program not only covers basic commands but also emphasizes important social skills like meet-and-greets, leash walking, waiting at doors, and calming behaviors such as “stay,” “settle,” and even “roll over.” What I appreciate most is BADDogsInc’s commitment to using gentle, humane, and dog-friendly techniques. They don’t use choke collars or pinch collars—just positive reinforcement and lots of patience. This approach made my puppies feel safe, calm, and eager to learn. The trainers are incredibly sweet and attentive to my Shih Tzus, which has helped them thrive during each session. Their warmth and personalized guidance made a noticeable difference in my puppies’ progress. If you’re looking for a compassionate and effective training experience, I highly recommend BADDogsInc. The focus on humane techniques and building social skills is exactly what I wanted for my pups, and I’m thrilled with the results.

I have been lucky enough to have Barbara's help with several dogs over the years. From dogs with a bite history who have sent people to the hospital to puppy mill dogs who are shut down because they only know fear to wild adolescent dogs who don't have any idea how to effectively communicate with people, she is my go-to trainer/behaviorist. I love the question she asks, how she approaches each dog, and how she only uses positive reinforcement to guide the training. The quality I admire the most in Barbara's training is her ability to meet the dog where it is at. If the task being asked of a dog is too hard for the dog to successfully complete, she finds a way to scale it back so the dog and the family working with dog can succeed. Barbara brings an optimism backed by her vast experience to each training session and she always takes the time to evaluate the dog so she's able to create an effective training regimen. I've been lucky enough to work with Barbara in person and on Zoom and both platforms are effective. My current dog, Molly, had a bite history before she came to me in 2022. Thanks to Barbara, Molly and I have established a solid relationship based on trust and communication around food (especially her food bowl) and we have not had any incidents. In addition to the resource guarding, Molly also lacked impulse control and had no frustration tolerance at first...she was 7 years old when I got her so Molly's behaviors were deeply ingrained in her by then. It is only because of the work and learning we did with Barbara that Molly and I have been able to develop an amazing relationship. People we meet are always surprised to hear that Molly was anything but the perfect well-rounded companion by my side that they see. I trust Barbara to help me, and any dog get from point A to point B, regardless of the issue at hand. Hire this woman or anyone who works at BADDogs, Inc!
