I like Trishses style You can tell she knows dogs and how they think. I really like Acoma. Sometimes the classes are too big. If you and your dog are well disciplined it is good. If not distracted. You are as smart as your dog. They are teaching us.

Excellent training center. I did the basic class with my border collie mix and I'm looking forward to advanced and agility. They have a focus on safety and clear communication. Yes you use the chain collar but it's to train, and now my dog listens and I rarely have to pull on it.
