Hoping this place has changed hands since our expirence 10 years ago. Our pup was there for 5 days and was a mess upon our return he was covered with feces. Like he was unattended and was roling in it. Just horrible and disgusting . They made sure our bill was paid before they brought our pup out to us. We have since moved out of the area. read more

Best experience ever. I have been boarding my dogs at Dog Trainer Workshop for 15 years. They are wonderful honest and kind. I drive from Laurens to use their services knowing that the dog/caregiver ratio is low and that my dogs are safe. My 15 year old dog Allan loves seeing Tracy there whenever we go. 10/10 stars from me! read more

Spoke with someone that reviewed our application and it was very clear they are looking for 'easy' animals and their website is false, overpriced advertising. Making accusations and assumptions without listening to what I had to say about my dog. For the money they are charging, I would expect significantly better at least out of the initial consultation or meeting the animal. All I learned is how little their 'trainers' are capable to do. I can only imagine what you actually get out of them based on what she had to say. read more

Been using them for years , Angel loves being there and the people are always good to her

Our little Nikko is a 90% better dog after two weeks of training with Cassidy. We are following her guidance & our family is amazed with the changes. Love Dog Trainers Workshop! They saved our dog! read more

I boarded my German Shepherd with Dog Trainers in April for a week when he was eight months old and all went well. He came home happy and very clean. Unfortunately, I wasn't as pleased this most recent time when I boarded him there again earlier this month. I had scheduled him for a nine-day stay, picking him up the day after Christmas, months in advance but just before I was to drop him off I was told I wouldn't be able to get him till the 27th due to the holiday. Well, okay, ten days and another $25. If that was all I would have been fine with it but when I picked him up the tab came to $300 with added fees that had not been discussed when he was dropped off. Well, okay, and if that was all I would have been fine with it but when I got him home I saw a scab on his nose. It didn't look like much though I wondered how he could have gotten it and now that it is off he has this large pink spot that sticks out like a sore thumb. I "presume" this will go away and if that was all......but it wasn't. His soft, silky coat was stiff, sticky and had a bit of an odor. Granted, I didn't expect him to come from a kennel in show condition but I didn't expect this, either. I bathed him the day I brought him home and the oatmeal shampoo wasn't strong enough so I switched to Dawn Dish Soap and that did the trick but it took a lot to get resin-like stuff out of his coat. What really puzzled me was when I "squeegeed" the soap from his shoulders to his hips I was getting a prominent yellow color mixed in with the soap suds as I got around his waist and it continued halfway down his tail. Surely, that couldn't have been urine! There was a lot of it but what else could it have been? It took several cycles of "squeegeeing" and rinsing to finally get the soap and the yellow tinge off of him and he was back to his soft, silky self once his fur dried. My boy hasn't left my side since he came home which is a little surprising as he is normally very independent. Maybe he missed me, maybe he feels rescued from something..... Let's just say that if I need to board him again I'll look elsewhere. read more

We brought our dogs there for boarding several times in the past with no issues. The last time we brought them our female was treated as if she was a monster. we told them as we have in the past she's weary of strangers but after we leave she'll be fine. as she always is. she'll be your best friend. she was put in the very last kennel with a stop sign on it and was treated as a "no touch dog". then we were told a "no touch dog" will be double the price. but they won't charge that this time. WHAT??? Y'all are trainers and around dogs all day. you can't handle a shy dog?? then once we picked them up after almost 4 days. No baths were given, they were both in the outside portion of the kennel with the inside portion locked so they couldn't get back to the AC. 88 degrees outside and 80+% humidity. Hot to say the least. they were panting like crazy. once we got home we noticed that they never gave our female her meds. these are prescription meds that are needed! good thing she don't have a heart condition what would I expect? a phone call that she's sick? they never gave her the treats we left with them either. and they were absolutely starving and so thirsty it was ridiculous. I'm sorry don't know if this place changed hands but we will never use them again. our poor babies. Never Ever Again. read more

When we rescued our lab/mutt puppy we had a little bit of a conundrum as to what would be the best way to train our new dog.... We researched a variety of places but continually felt that certain training methods were a bit too aggressive, inhumane, or were not sensitive to the fact some dogs are motivated differently than others (or had a rough start life and were very fearful; like our dog...). Having heard about Dog Trainers Workshop from various people, we did a little research, then decided to sign up for their introduction puppy class. The classes are broken into several categories based on your dogs age, skill and previous training: Puppy, Beginner, Advanced Beginner, and Competition. You can also take private classes, or leave your dog in their care for them to train them (a few years later we actually scheduled some time and dropped our dog off for a few days of boarding/brushing up on skills he was getting rusty *cough-lazy-cough* on). Connie Cleveland, and her staff, are absolutely amazing! The classes are taught to help you understand your doggy's psyche. And to train you to know how to interact with your dog as the "pack leader", as well as to teach you to know what motivates your dog to want to listen to you. Families are encouraged to come to class so the dog will learn to listen to a variety of people, as well as ensuring that everyone feels comfortable with the dog (as well as giving commands to the pet). There were several classes when young kids (under the age of 10) were giving direction or a command to the dog-- which was easily 40lbs larger than they were-- and the dog would listen! There are no whistles, spray bottles, clickers, shock collars, screaming, or commands repeated 10,000 times in Connie's classes. There is, however, lots of positive reinforcement, treats, encouragement, and Connie and her staff are there to help you if you have ANY concerns or questions. They love dogs and want the best for the animals more than anyone I've ever met! Dog Trainers Workshop was the best thing we could have ever done for our dog and for ourselves! Our dog is obedient, knows when to listen, but also knows he can be just a dog. We learned so much at Dog Trainers Workshop-- we tell anyone who is thinking about, or has a dog that needs some training, to go here! We travel with our dog a lot and we are frequently told by others (whether it is bars, restaurants, hotels, groomers, doggy day care) how well he listens, as well as how enjoyable an animal he is. I give Dog Trainers Workshop five stars without any trepidation! They do an excellent job in training the pet owners--as well as the pet-- to have the best relationship you can have with your four legged friend! read more

Ive brought my Australian Shepherd there since she was 6 months! She gone from their beginner classes to agility, and advanced classes. She and I have flourished under their teaching! We both love it here, and I will be taking my other dogs here, as well. read more

We have used Dog Trainers Workshop for boarding and training our dog, and we have never had any problems. The staff is courteous, professional and extremely knowledgeable. Our dog is always happy when we drop her off and happy when we pick her up. Their prices are competitive with other local training/boarding facilities and I have no problem with recommending them to anyone looking for safe and welcoming place to keep your pet! read more

I can't say enough good things about Connie and her staff. Our family thought we were going to have to re-home our Siberian Husky Duke. But thanks to Dog Trainers Workshop we were able to communicate with Duke. Then later we had a golden retriever Diva who had a limp since she was a puppy. We took her may times to the vet and they could not diagnose her problem advised me should take her to a specialist. After a lesson on night Connie pulled me aside and asked if I would like to bring her to her facility to experience a chiropractor which does adjustments weekly there. Diva limped no more - she had a dislocated toe. I cannot thank her enough. I will never go anywhere else but Dog Trainers Workshop for advise, help, or lessons. We will see them soon since we added two Golden Irish siblings to our pack. read more

We boarded our two dogs with Dog Trainers Workshop while we were on vacation. A couple of days into the vacation, we were informed by the owner, Tracy, that one of our dogs had been injured by the other. The dogs were supposed to be boarded separately, but Dog Trainers Workshop put them in the same run. After the owner assured us that the injury was minor, the dog was transported by the DTW team to our vet. The vet called later to inform us that our dog needed surgery for the injuries and that the bill would be over $300. I informed Dog Trainers Workshop about this and asked to be compensated. They gave no response. I picked up our dog (the "attacher") from Dog Trainers Workshop today. (We chose to board the injured dog at the vet for the remainder of our vacation). Tracy, the owner of Dog Trainers Workshop, did not mention the incident, did not apologize for the incident, and collected full payment for the boarding of both dogs. We will never use this kennel again. We were very disappointed by the experience and their lack of sympathy in this matter. read more

My rescue pup is mostly well behaved but taking him on walks was always an ordeal. He'd walk me, gasping for air as he strained against the leash. It made me anxious to take him out especially when I was alone but after a short stay at Dog Trainers Workshop he's now a joy to walk. He stays close by and pays attention when I pause to stop. He's also great at following the other commands they taught him. I also feel empowered by the lesson I got from the trainer upon picking him up. The staff was great and I'd recommend this place to anyone. read more

Very disappointed in the DTW. Recommended to us by Charleston Dog Training Club prior to our moving to Greenville. The training classes, at least ours, was operated like a factory; too many animals and no interest in the individual dogs needs. Staff made it clear that they did not like certain breeds of dogs. Trainers took no time to get to know the dogs, in our case our dog was a rescue with substantial issues do to having been beaten. They were often very heavy handed in correcting a dog. We are not going back. read more
