Reviews for Playful Pups & Performance Training, Inc.

If you're looking to train your puppy, this is the place to go! Deborah is so great with puppies and always has their best interests at heart. My dachshund baby, Beans, just finished the class for 8-14 weeks and we enrolled in kindergarten because we enjoyed it so much! She sends such informative emails after every class to review and allows the puppies to socialize after class and sometimes before. 10/10, definitely recommend! :)

My dogs and I have so much fun coming to Playful Pups! Debra is an amazing teacher and we have learned so much. She is very knowledgeable, fun, and patient. We also really enjoy the small class sizes and the follow up emails that help us remember what to practice at home.

Ms. Deborah is an amazing trainer. She helped me get my Mastif on the right track in the puppies class. Small class sizes allow for more one on one time and has taugh me to be a better puppy mom. She shares lots of stories to help cement home the techniques she is teaching which helped me immensely so I did not feel like a total failure when I did not get things right. Very patient and willing to go the extra mile to teach us the basics. if you are willing to listen, learn and put in the time Ms. Deborah will teach you how to be a great pup parent.
