We sent Bash to The DOG at 11 weeks. 3 weeks later, with our 1st home training in hand, all of our expectations are being met - socialization, basic commands, house manners. We visited him many times over the 3 weeks, met a number of the trainers, saw a staff that cared for our little boy and were focused on laying a solid foundation. Joanne is very responsive to our questions by email, and understands our dog's breed, a rare one in North America (löwchen). We highly The DOG and Joanne.
I walked into a coffee shop almost 3 years ago and I overheard them talking about where they leave their dog when they go away. I asked and they shared "The Dog". We sent our puppy to training with Joanne, then decided to utilize their pick up and drop off service daily for Lil Mr. In the daytime when we are working, we have peace of mind knowing that Lil Mr is at camp with the best people and his furry friends. When we go away, we have even greater peace of mind knowing that everyone at The Dog loves him and takes such good care of him. I recommend this to everyone that has a dog! THE DOG IS THE BEST!!
My dog came home with the ability to follow commands and they trained her not to nibble and jump on our kids. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with The Dog as we advance her training. Did I mention how kind their staff is?
