I cannot day enough good things about Gail Hubbard with WNCK9! Our goldendoodle Winston is over a…read moreyear old and having issues with potty training and food aggression. Gail came to our house and evaluated him and gave us some homework. That was over a week ago and not ONE SINGLE ACCIDENT since then. We have also made so much progress with the food aggression that I can almost stick my hand completely in his bowl while he is eating. Gail is a miracle worker with dogs and has an amazing intuition with them. Watching her in action is inspiring! We have signed Winston up for her K9 manners course and we are so excited to see how he continues to progress. Thanks a million Gail! Much love, Winston and Family

What a truly great place this is, I don't know if I would have made it on my own with my very high…read morestrung and anxious puppy and after asking around in several pet stores I finally found Gail Hubbard and her place. Good for me because Dog Training is crazy expensive I noticed ( so expensive that I m going to become a dog trainer in my next life!!!) This place is different Gail tries to make dog training affordable and fun. First I went to puppy class, every Saturday for $10 a mixed puppy class with socialization training and simple tasks for owners and dogs alike. This is a hands on place , the dog is not getting "fixed" you learn how to work with the animal and what to do in any situation. After that I went to "manners 1" a six week course where you meet once weekly and work with your animal . The classes are small the place is big with a large agility area , a playground and a piece of forest to walk in. There are all kind of fun things offered Agility Training, Treibball and ongoing Manners classes up to training for service dogs. Gail is full of knowledge gives you direct feedback if you call her and a certificate after a successfully finished "Manners" class. The approach is gentle with lots of treats, no yelling no "NO" it's about leading the dog in the right direction, about being smart with the opportunists they are and build a beautiful and trusting relationship. We are happy here and will stay and come back many more times!

This class has helped us so much in just the first few classes. If you are looking for classes for…read moreyour dog I highly recommend Vanburen. Not only do they teach you how to teach your dog, they explain the reasoning behind it. I've learned more from this class than I ever thought I would. It's an awesome experience to see your dog progress and learn these commands and execute them. Very professional and very helpful and they have an awesome way of teaching the content so you understand.

One month before Hurricane Helene struck, we adopted a 3 month old puppy from Hendersonville Animal…read moreServices. We are seasoned pet owners and no stranger to raising a pup. However, our challenges became increasingly difficult as a result of forced evacuations, relocations and having to continue working from satellite locations. Or sweet pup had only one month with us before she too became displaced and had to adapt to a very transient live style. As one might imagine, the training of our pup was erratic and remains so, I am afraid, but with the help of James and Iilo, we are currently pretty stable. James has an intuit sense of canine behavior and a keen sensitivity regarding how to balance gentle behavior guidance in alignment with modification techniques. James impressed us with his professionalism & compassion, plus his extensive knowledge and skill. The man knows his business, speaks his mind with respect, and has proven to be invaluable to us as we continue working toward our goal of a Good Citizenship Certification. I have worked with many, many trainers and training schools over my 60 years of being a dog owner. I do recommend James, without hesitation. Oh, and by the way... I forgot to mention that our pup is deaf. James, didn't bat an eye.... like I said... the man knows his business. Thx for the opportunity to share - Mynde Mull Swannanoa, NC

Zoe has been a life saver for us & our pittie mix Bailee, who has been working on leash reactivity…read morearound other dogs. We came to Zoe after working with two other trainers and feeling very defeated. During our very first session Zoe had Bailee laying down comfortably on a leash next to another dog! It wasn't long before Bailee was able to play off leash with other dogs in Zoe's pack. After over a year of her having no dog to dog contact, this nearly brought me to tears. We have learned so much from Zoe about general dog behavior, but most importantly we've learned much more about Bailee and how we can adjust our behaviors to best meet her needs. Zoe is as good at training humans as she is at training dogs! Training can be a very long process, and it has its ups and downs. Zoe is there through it all with kindness, empathy, and support. She is so knowledgeable, very communicative, and you always feel like you are her most important client. Although we still have work to do, Bailee is now enjoying "adventures" with Zoe's dog pack & we know she is in the very best hands. I always look forward to training days with Zoe, we are so lucky to have her in our lives!
