Jeff to the rescue!…read more We have two Jack Russell Terriers and they are a happy handful!!! We have had previous training with some good, but mostly lackluster results. We worked with Jeff for one session and he trained us to be the pack leader in a way where the dogs understood and accepted it. Now instead of rushing the door and being all crazed, it's calm, even when the doorbell rings. They look to us for direction instead of trying to 'protect' us from what's on the other side of the door. We wish we had found Jeff years ago! But you can teach a not-so-young dog new tricks! We will be calling on Jeff again soon to help us be better pet parents!

Before choosing a dog trainer, we looked at countless options online. Ruff House was the only one…read morethat got back to us and was accepting new clients, or in some cases, got back to us at all. We weren't sure what to expect, as we are new to dog training. We scheduled an initial appointment for private in-home training that was $150 and was listed to be up to an hour and a half. Following the payment, we received an email with the trainer's availability and requested a time within it. We then had to go back and forth to find a time that worked for the trainer. It would have been much more helpful to just receive a list of dates/times that were still available instead of just a general schedule for booking. Again, we weren't sure what to expect but got up bright and early for an 8:00am session in our home the morning after Thanksgiving. The trainer was 8 minutes late. I know that isn't a huge amount of time, but it was our first meeting and we were ready on time and waiting. We received some helpful tips on how to start working on the main concerns we had with our dog, but felt like we didn't receive clear instruction on what to do if the dog didn't do the command, etc. We contemplated booking more sessions, but ultimately decided against it for the amount of money we paid vs the information we received. Maybe dog training just isn't for us. Maybe we just didn't mesh with the trainer. This was our experience.

I adopted Roama (1yr old chow/shepherd/cattle dog/pit mix) from PACC in late June. There was very…read morelittle known about her other than she'd seriously bitten the ppl who found her as a stray. I was very nervous bringing a new dog into my very comfortable pack with 2 small, 9 yr old dachshund mixes. My dogs had always been chill with other dogs but since Roama was a wildcard, I enlisted help from Terra to make sure I was prepared. Terra came to my house before the adoption, gave me ideas how to set up the space, tips for feeding in case there was resource aggression, and general training planning after meeting my 2 littles and getting their vibe. When Roama arrived, she made another visit to the house to see them (and me) interact. Let's face it, the human is usually the problem and I'm not exception. She helped with great tips, especially the magical squirt bottle (the horror!!) Roama has a lot of puppy energy that her elder siblings aren't able to match, and Terra invited her to the socializing play group! This has been a game changer. Roama can spend the day with pups that match her size and energy, then come home tired for cuddles with the sibs! It's been so great for her! Terra even let me join to watch her play and see how she shows her emotions (all in that toothy mouth of hers.). Hoping she'll be ready to try a dog park soon! Can not recommend her enough if you're anxious about adopting a new friend (DO IT) or if your current pup just needs a nudge in the right direction! Rise Above is amazing!! Enjoy the happy dog photos!!

Terra 's professional, caring , focused training taught me the exact skills I needed, to help my pup get over her reactivity issues. We are now able to have relaxing , fun walks , through our neighborhood, every morning. I know what to do to help my pup, should she become distracted, so we can continue at a leisurely manner during our walks. Terra came to my home, in a space where I and my pup were relaxed. She even brought her sidekick "Bucket", to help us with our reactivity issues. We were given homework to do after every lesson, and did it faithfully, 2 times a day. My pup now looks forward to going on walks and reinforcing what we have learned. Terra was always available for any questions I had and returned my text messages promptly. I am truly grateful to have found Terra and Rise Above Dog Training. I know , soon, there will be a day, when reactivity is a thing of the past, but, I will continue to train my pup, as she is a member of my family, and deserves to have the best of care. With all of this said, I highly recommend Terra for your dog training /owner of dog training needs. My pup and I thank you Terra.

Our puppy Junie was extremely reactive to other dogs and we felt like she would never get better. We enrolled her in the puppy elementary classes at about 5 months old.

After she finished the group classes we did 2 private lessons with Kim and Jamaal and I can't say enough great things about the two of them.

His on leash walking is great, and even learned how to stop and sit when I stopped walking, his recall is MUCH better, and got "go to place" down pretty well too. Of course, because the stay was pretty short I still need to work on everything to get it down even more, but that goes for any kind of dog training. I could tell that Jackson was happy and had a good time staying there. He sent me pictures and gave me updated on his progress while I was gone. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is still in the process of training their dog and are going on vacation for an extended period of time or just don't have enough time for it.

First I should explain that I have three dogs. To be honest, I've never trained them at all. I…read morenever thought it was important - they're all small - if I want to move, I lift them - if I want them to go outside, I put them outside. I always considered training as something not needed - I don't need my dogs to do tricks; they're party of the family. Seeing as I never worked on much with them, somehow my 9 year old Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix is potty trained and doesn't chew or anything like that. About 18 months ago we got a Dachshund who was 3. He was kind of house broken, skittish, but overall, fine. Definitely fine with us. About four months ago we got a puppy. We have read all the website about potty training a puppy and getting him to stop chewing and ... it's not going so well. Neither of us have much experience in this and considering that we work all day it's very difficult to be consistent. When we called Bailey's we really just assumed that getting the puppy potty trained would be what we could work on. Maybe we could work on the very nervous Dachshund if there was time. However, in our hour long session, the puppy was sitting on command, coming when called and being a very calm and sweet boy. I was shocked at how quickly he responded to the training. We also were able to talk about things like working on potty training and chewing and how to encourage his good behavior and redirect the things we have issues with. Not only was the puppy behaving more appropriately, but our skittish dog was sniffing and taking treats. I know that doesn't seem like much, but this dog barks at new people for hours and runs from them and pees himself - he's kind of a disaster with anyone but us. We have a second training session scheduled and we've been working on all of our "homework" so hopefully all three dogs progress over the next week. I am so shocked to see so much progress in just one hour session and I am excited to see what's next. I have never thought training would make such an impact so quickly. I highly recommend Bailey's to anyone. Even to people like me who never thought it was something they really needed. It's definitely affordable and so helpful - I can't stress that point enough.

So far, Bailey's has really helped me and my pup understand each other better. This is an…read moreaffordable, in home (depending on location, contact them!) training that really takes the time to cater to your needs and concerns.
