If you need dog training, look no further! Evergreen School for Dogs is the best dog training I have ever seen. Their calm and kind demeanor, true understanding of dogs, and ability to help us speak our dog's language is unparalleled. We loved having the opportunity to work with and learn from Corday. I could not possibly give a higher recommendation- they have earned my trust and respect. Our golden stayed for board and train for a week and then we had two weeks of in-home training. Life feels so much more manageable and happy for our whole home. Thank you, Corday and Evergreen School for Dogs. read more

This is Winston, he was a nightmare. He would jump on guests, recall was hit or miss, didn't know how to stay, sit or lay down, wouldn't walk on a leash And would howl while in his kennel. My family was looking for a miracle and Corday is a miracle worker. Investing in your Pet can make a world of a difference especially when it comes to their behavior. After some very informative back and forth emails We enrolled Winston in the 3 week board and train program. Throughout the time Winston was away, Corday was checking in and sending updates. After just ONE WEEK we went for a visit and Winston had already made huge improvements. Corday gave us a small lesson with Winston at that visit and it felt like we were with a different dog (In a good way). All of the concerns I had with Winston have been resolved within the 3 weeks he was with Corday. I cannot thank them enough. Our family has a new sense of freedom having a well behaved dog, and that's all thanks to Corday and the Evergreen school for dogs. read more

Tommy & Corday did such a fantastic job with our Weimaraner puppy! He was a rambunctious bundle of energy when he went to them and came back a perfectly mannered young pup. He spent 3 weeks in their boarding and training program. When we arrived to pick him up, Tommy and Corday spent ample time with us and our pup, explaining what he had learned, how we should apply it, and how to continue training him. We look forward to going back for our continuing training programs that they offer. We HIGHLY recommend Evergreen School For Dogs! You won't be disappointed. read more

Evergreen School For Dogs - Our well-mannered pup after 3 weeks in the Evergreen School For Dogs training program. - Pet Training Near Me - Arlington, Washington

This was the best experience! Tommy was the perfect trainer for our 2 large female pups. They had 3 horrible fights and we took them to a private session with Tommy. He taught us how to create boundaries and how we can prevent things that may cause tension between the girls! We bought the recommended tools he suggested. They are well worth your time and money although they are super reasonably priced. I highly recommend them for your dog training! We haven't had any further issues and will be taking our newest pup back for some additional group training for her manners! She is a jumper! Thanks to Tommy for your time and expertise!

I am part of a local dog rescue. Tommy and Corday have been an amazing support team for some of our 'special' foster dogs - with training, fostering, board & train. They have been such an asset in helping us place these dogs in the best home for their needs. On a personal side, one of my own dogs became 'dog' selective and Tommy helped me figure out how to make him comfortable with all the foster dogs that come through my home. I recommend them to all our adopters, from puppy parents, to owners with some specific behavior issues. They have so much knowledge, and really focus on the needs of the specific dog - not just a sweeping approach. read more

Tommy and Corday were amazing with our active and dog reactive pup, Walter. Walter is quite the handful and has developed reactivity to other dogs (on and off leash) since we moved from the East coast to the Seattle. After a meet and greet and an hour lesson with Tommy and Corday we knew Walter would be in good hands while my husband and I were out of town for 2 weeks. While in their care they worked on his socialization skills with their dogs, leash skills and overall obedience. On the last day of our trip we received an email with video of Walter playing with their dog, Meadow. He looked so happy and relaxed and not remotely anxious. We thought we would never see him play with another dog again. Beyond that, they have given us plenty of tools to strengthen leash skills and basic obedience. Tommy has been wonderful in following up to see how Walter is doing at home with his reactivity toward other dogs. We are looking forward to continuing to work with Tommy and Corday to help with Walter's training. We also would bring him back to board there in a heartbeat. He clearly loved it there and gained some confidence with other dogs! Five stars for Evergreen School for Dogs! read more

Tommy is truly a dog whisperer. His small, home style facility in perfect for big boys like mine. He only boards/trains a handful of dogs at a time which means the dogs are safe and given lots of individual attention and care. I have a Kangal Dog. If you're not familiar, Google it. It's easy to see why Tommy says he's "A lotta dog". According to the "experts" it is impossible to teach a Kangal to fetch. Tommy had him fetching like a Retriever in less than 2 minutes. Seriously. The only problem is my dog is always on his best behavior with Tommy. I struggled with the recall but my boy always come running when Tommy calls. I struggled with heal but my buddy immediately falls into a heal for Tommy without any command. Tommy always tells me what a good, obiedient dog he is. I couldn't have done it without Tommy's guidance and innate abilities. I wish he wasn't so expensive... scratch that...because he's worth more than he charges...I wish I could afford to use him every time I need to board. read more

These are the type of people that you would be lucky to have in your life. I went through a lot of false advice from other trainers over the last 6 months. They trained my German Shepard for all my needs. They really had my medical problems first and foremost while training. I am very happy with the outcome. They took really good care of her and treated her like she was part of the family. I highly recommend them. It is very important to do your research while hiring a trainer and that is why Im leaving this review. read more

Tank had a one hour private session with Tommy to work out some of his anxiety challenges. Specically exposure to other dogs. Tommy showed us a few techniques to ensure Tank is focused while on walks. Overall great experience and would recommend for those located in and around Seattle. read more

My 6 month puppy just went through their 3 week board ans train program. My dog is very complicated and fearful, so my main interest was to give her more confidence and socialization with other dogs. I honestly didn't have high expectation since fearness isn't something you can fix in 3 weeks or even 3 months. My dog is still fearful and insecure sometimes but I am seeing A LOT of improvement. My dog is a way more confident and calm than before, and also knows a few commands! And also, dogs stay in their house with Corday and Tommy which is the reason I chose Evergreen. Their setup is very different from other schools and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with them. Loved everything about Evergreen! read more

After taking my dog home from almost 6 weeks of board and train with Tommy at Evergreen School for Dogs, I realized that our relationship was already changed for the better. Before taking Cado there, I was considering re homing a dog that I loved due to human aggression/reactivity. I lived in an apartment in Seattle and just getting out to the street to go on a walk was a struggle. Then the walk itself was another story. Cado also had leash reactivity issues towards dogs which made city life almost impossible. I tried classes and other trainers which helped with management but not with solutions. I knew from the moment that I met them that Cado would be in good hands. I felt that he had plenty of space to play outside and was able to live in their home with them. Even though Cado was wary of Tommy and Corday at first, I knew they would find the dog I love in him. Tommy did not promise to "fix" Cado but did say that I would see improvements. I really appreciated that statement as I felt it was genuine and what I was hoping for more than him getting "fixed." During the 5 weeks I received updates and pictures which I truly appreciated since I missed my pup so much. When we picked him up we had an hour training session and 3 others at any location I picked. It was great that Tommy was willing to drive to my place and the areas that we have the most trouble in to work on real life situations. It really sealed in what he discussed and taught me in the first session after picking Cado up. I loved how excited Cado was every time he saw Tommy as that made me feel that they truly bonded and Tommy took wonderful care for him. I also have emailed for advise since his stay and they continue to give advise and help. I can't thank Evergreen School for Dogs enough for what they have done for Cado and I. read more

We had a 7 month old German Shepherd that was imported from Germany and didn't get the critical socialization needed when he was a young puppy due to the quarantine for rabies. He was a very loving dog with us but lacked confidence around strangers and other dogs. After a lot of research online we found Tommy and Corday and decided to give them a call. We described the challenges we were having with our dog and Tommy felt that they could certainly help us out. We chose to do the 3 week board and train and couldn't have been happier with the results. Tommy and Corday were really great to work with. They answered every phone call or email we had asking about how our dog was doing and progressing. We even met them out at a local shopping center during the board and stay and were very impressed with how well our dog did in this situation which would have been a big challenge for him just a couple of weeks before. We had two follow-up sessions with Tommy to ensure that we could carry over the training and build upon the foundation that they created for us. I highly recommend Tommy and Corday to anyone that is looking for a trainer. They were always friendly, professional, and were able to adopt a lot of different training techniques to find what worked for our dog. I have complete trust in their abilities and how they treat our beloved pet. We will be making future training appointments with them and will use them whenever we have to board our dog. read more

Evergreen School for Dogs was first recommended to me by one of my dogpark friends (Dexter's human). I had an overseas trip....and a dog who has the sweetest disposition, but was in need of some training on leash and during mealtimes. Although I was nervous about leaving my dog for three entire weeks, Tommy and Corday were fabulous! They not only made me feel comfortable, but obviously were extremely good to my dog. I received text updates/pictures while I was away, and came home to a dog who had learned all new good behavior! WooHoo! I've since taken my pup back for a one-week tune-up and plan to return again in the future. The on-site/at-home follow-up training sessions are also a huge bonus! I recommend these good people, without reservation. read more

We have a 10 week King Charles Caviler and we were a little nervous because we thought she was a little too young to train, but. from the first few minutes Corday our trainer had her doing things we never imagined. The best part of all we were training too! read more

My husband and I have nothing but positive things to say about Tommy and Corday. They have been so helpful with our dog. He barks at other dogs when on leash, but is darn near perfect in every other aspect. It has been very frustrating because we felt like we were doing everything right since he was catching onto everything else so quickly, but he wouldn't stop. They have helped so much for both our dog to not bark when on leash, but also teaching us as owners how to be better handlers. We have no second thoughts about leaving our dog with them. The fact that he's being trained, gets lots of exercise on their property and gets to hang out with other dogs are all reasons why we've chosen to leave him there while on vacation, rather than to take him to a different dog boarding place. We would definitely recommend Evergreen School For Dogs to anyone who wants their dog to be better behaved, or if you're dealing with something and have exhausted your other options. read more

Really hard to find a fault with these guys, Corday and Tommy are fantastic trainers and have helped us so much with our Border Terrier. We have sent her for board and trains twice now and will continue to use them whenever we go away. Corday even shoots us frequent updates and photos throughout the stay. The followup sessions and free pickups in Seattle make the remoteness a non issue and the results are just short of miraculous. read more

My dog Grizz has always been unbelievably stubborn despite all the training I've done with him (yep, Chesapeake Bay Retriever!). Also, he is 90 pounds of pure muscle, which made walking him & getting him to do what he is told a total nightmare. But Tommy & Corday worked very diligently with him. When I picked him up, he was the same sweet dog as always, but a totally different one who actually listened to me! Grizz has stayed there several more times since then when I've been traveling & the last time they worked on his severe anxiety in cars with real success. Not only do Tommy & Corday understand dogs on a very subtle & psychological level, they also really love them & give him lots of attention & great care. To top it off, Grizz loves staying there - when they're not training he gets to run around in their huge fenced yard & play fetch to his heart's content. I highly recommend these guys!! read more
