I had two small dogs & suddenly had a third added that a family member couldn't keep anymore. With…read morethe introduction of the third dog who had not been trained, my pet household was turned upside down. Lots of unwelcome behavior started occurring which inhibited our ability to simply take walks together. By the grace of God, I found Karen online and I couldn't be happier. She uses only positive reinforcement for the dogs (and the owner as well). She is more than willing to help & answer questions, meet out at a local park for practice and more. I tend to be an anxious person, but Karen's calm demeanor helped me immensely. She has a great personality and often made me laugh through my worries. My dog's behavior has improved tremendously, which has helped to bring peace & calm into our lives & increased our happiness. I can't express how grateful I am for Aunt Karen!

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.

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

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!

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
