‼Warning: Read Before Enrolling at Spokane Dog Training Club‼…read more Dog parents, consider this a friendly warning based on a genuinely upsetting experience. I enrolled my 10-month-old pup at the Spokane Dog Training Club expecting guidance, structure, and care. What I found instead was chaos, poor organization, and a stressful environment for both humans and dogs.   Training Structure: The club requires all participants to pass the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) class before moving forward, even if you're aiming for agility or other training. While I appreciate the idea behind this, the instruction quality made it nearly impossible to succeed. Classes felt rushed, disorganized, and unproductive.   Instruction Quality: The instructors (mostly volunteers) seemed overwhelmed, undertrained, and often rude or dismissive. There was little to no individualized support, and we were all herded through like cattle.   Facility & Safety Concerns: The building is very echoey and poorly maintained. Dogs of all sizes and training levels were packed together -- not ideal, and honestly, not safe. Easy Parking? Forget it! They are letting the next class's dogs and owners come in and out while our session is still going on. An absolute mayhem!    Negative Impact: Instead of making progress, my dog actually regressed during our time there. He left more anxious after each session. This place added stress instead of building confidence. Yes, the price tag is only $65, but you get what you pay for -- and in this case, that meant confusion, stress, and zero progress.    SAVE your Money and your dog the Trauma! Look elsewhere for professional, compassionate training.

The trainer and her assistants have been more than helpful in giving me some tricks and tips for training my stubborn little guy. When I got discouraged because he was acting up or just checked out for that exercise, they encouraged me and were quick to point out a skill he was able to do that he hadn't been able to before we started. Our trainer did recommend for him a prong collar. I researched the heck out of it and decided to try out. Next class we fit it, and there was a night and day difference. On our walks, he no longer chases bicycles, squirrels, cats and children. I'll admit, price and location were the driving factors for choosing them at first. I'm glad I did! In fact, we've signed up for another class this fall.

I highly recommend NOT working with Accurate K9 Training! My 82 year old mother called this company…read moreto have a trainer come to her house to help her train her puppy AT HOME. Brittany Katterfeld took advantage of an elderly, vulnerable woman who lives alone by manipulating her into letting go of her puppy for supposedly an inboarding 3-week training. She took my mother's credit card number and charged 1/2 of the $3000.00 fee. Brittany offered no contract or paperwork to sign. My mother was very upset after Brittany left driving off with my mother's dog. The next two days involved my sister and I intervening to help my mother get her dog back as this was not what she wanted nor did she ever intend to spend that kind of money as she is on a limited income. Brittany agreed to meet us after two days as we explained the situation over the phone. She had been cooperative and met us at a parking lot so we could get the dog back; she even mentioned a refund. However, since that time she has been avoiding my mother's phone calls and texts. Interestingly, Brittany was very quick to answer while obtaining my mother's business. Now she avoids all contact and is a thief for keeping all of the $1500.00. Technically my mother only owes 3 nights of boarding and training and is willing to give well over the amount due for the trouble and confusion. What poor business, horrible work ethic and decency. Thumbs DOWN.

I searched for months hoping to find a behaviorist that would have the experience and knowledge to…read morehelp my reactive dogs. I wanted a trainer that not only used multiple training techniques and tools, but also was actively working her own dogs as well. At ~65# each it's very difficult to handle my dogs when they start going after each other. It was even more disheartening when my deaf 3yo pittie mix bit a friend. Both dogs are insecure and needed more direction and less opportunity to fail. The moment I contacted Brittany, she immediately made me feel that all hope wasn't lost and this could get better. We set up an appointment and she came in ready to make miracles happen! My dogs were also ready...they did not want to have anything to do with her. They were growling, lunging, snapping, and just behaving badly. Brittany stayed calm and reassured us that she wanted to see the naughtiness so that she could better help us. We were so embarrassed and nervous. She handled our dogs with care and control. By the end of our session our dogs were calm and obeying not only her, but us as well. She left giving us homework and we are so excited to start this process. I'm eager to see our dogs transform into the companions we know they can be. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone that had dogs.

They are very aware of our dogs personalities and more than once we've come in and our dog was up in the front office with the employees. They said she was acting anxious so they took her away from the other dogs for a few hours. They also have a large separate space for an optional "enrichment activity" during lunch time. If you sign you dog up for it then they have fun obstacle course, hide and seek etc for your dog to do for an hour. In addition to the small dog, large dog play areas there is also the Zen Den for older dogs or ones that need a mellower place. Each of the three areas have a outside door so they can play outside on turf. In the summer they have kiddie pools for the dogs to keep cool. We like that they are open 12 hours a day so when we go skiing on a Sunday we have time to enjoy family time and still get back to collect our dogs. We love Dawn, Katie, Gin, and how much they care and know our dogs. It's a large facility and room for them all.
