    I feel like it's always hard to find a good obedience trainer/class. But Judy is the real deal. She…read moreloves animals, her technique is positive reinforcement and she's a good trainer to the humans too! Her agility classes are so fun for the dogs and humans! Her space is comfortable, safe for the dogs and perfectly located downtown Ply. Judy also does 1-1 and home trainings too. She helped get us started with our rescue pup who was afraid of the sound of her own breathing. Judy taught us some key skills which included changing some of our habits in our house. With any animal that had an unknown or came from an abusive previous home, it takes time to help build trust and change some of the behaviors of the animal. With Judy's guidance and our diligence over the last few years to creating a safe and learning environment for our pup, she's a happy, loving, brave and mostly non-reactive dog. There's always skills we need to bring back into our rotation but it's all thanks to Judy to help us along the way. We've recommended her to many people and my mom is active in classes with her new puppy.

    I wanted to find a class for my 4 month old puppy and was thrilled to find Judi and her basic…read moreobedience class! I loved that she fit the class to be be pups 4 months and under. I have been in other dog training classes and nothing beat Judi's classes. I also appreciate the time she takes if you have questions or concerns. You can tell Judi really cares for the dogs she's works with! I will definitely be doing another class with her!

    Thanks Yelp for helping us find Abbie!…read more As new PAWrents, our good boi was picking up commands, potty training really well but we wanted some help with leash walking (as Benny boy loves to pull) AND we knew we were bringing home another pup so we wanted Abbie to meet Benny first to help us if there were any behavioral changes. With Abbie's help, we made small changes to have a more consistent training vocabulary between my husband and me. She also gave us great tips & tricks. I also LOVE that she has a Facebook group for all her clients - we've had a couple of puppy play dates already! Her rates are reasonable and transparently disclosed on her website! So beyond training, she also has field trips (training WITH her in environments with distractions) as well as adventures (where she takes your pup(s) out!) We had Abbie come by to take Benny on an adventure so that we could have some 1:1 training time with Jette. She took ADORABLE pictures of Benny on his adventure. I'm so grateful to have Abbie has a resource and guide through the puppy process!

    Really thankful to have found Abbie - her prices are reasonable; suggestions useful. I haven't had…read morea puppy in 14 years (that's how old my other pup is)... and recently got a puppy. I forgot how much work this is... and was thankful to have an expert around for some advice on my particulars. I really like having someone come over to my house so that I can show what I'm doing, and she can show me the best way to proceed. Have a couple more sessions already set up with her... and am looking forward to it. Definitely suggest using Abbie as your source for all things pup-related.

    I had an AWESOME experience. I went there for summer camp and immediately knew this was where I…read morewanted to go. I started taking lessons and now I volunteer and I'm on show team. Everyone there Is so nice and they always make sure that you are safe. They have amazing stable hands and great trainers. It's a great place for experienced and inexperienced riders. All of the horses are so nice and there Is always someone to help. Wildwind is like a family to me and is the best out of all of the stables I've been too. I came there with very little experience and within 4 months I was already showing. My riding really has gotten better. The office gets back to you super fast and has a super friendly environment no matter your age.

    We really wanted to like this place. I've debated whether or not to write this review but my…read moredaughter hasn't been able to shake the bad feelings she has and neither can I. Initially we were impressed by the "everyone belongs" talk but the owners seem like they are annoyed and tired of children. They were impatient and annoyed at riders for simple mistakes like dropping a crop while mounting or needing to adjust stirrups. Lots of sighing and eye rolling and groaning and snark. The teaching method (in a beginning level class, not high level competition riders) was constantly things like "WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT?" and "THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR YOU TO BE DOING THAT". In my daughter's words "they don't help you fix your problems, they just yell at you for having them." The indoor is very small and dark and it's almost impossible to properly space out 6 horses/riders (esp. with jumps set up) and the kids were constantly being yelled at for not spacing their horses properly. Many of the horses are lazy and my daughter and other kids were yelled at constantly for not getting their horses more forward- these horses were often on their second or third lesson of the day by that time. We chatted with some adult students who expressed similar frustrations about the horses being lazy. We also witnessed a teacher repeatedly berating a young rider with disabilities who was clearly struggling with her physical coordination. To be fair, there ARE multiple instructors here and not all of them are like this. When we didn't purchase another lessons package, intending to just quietly walk away because this was not a good fit for us, we were called into the office before her last class and held hostage for 45 minutes. I was lectured and talked down to, and they kept repeating that she wanted a more "difficult horse" because we expressed concern about the laziness issue. I was told that if she couldn't get the lazy horse to go forward then she's not a good enough rider and shouldn't have been in that class (even though one of the trainers evaluated her and placed her there) and we were told that nobody should be in a beginning jump class (jumping crossrails) unless and until they have mastered flying lead changes! Without knowing us at all or having ever seen my horse or seen me ride, I was also lectured about my horse who was scheduled to be put into training with the trainer on staff (ended up not happening due to medical issues). I was accused of not knowing anything about horses or my horse because "most people who put their horses in training think their horses are great and they overestimate their abilities and underestimate their training needs". (She doesn't know us. At all!) When I mentioned that I was planning to sign up for some private lessons on my horse, *with the trainer* during the time he was in training there, I was told that I should not be allowed to ride my own horse while he is in training because I would "mess him up". There are some good people working here, but overall it felt like an abusive relationship. My daughter is terrified to take riding lessons again anywhere. I sincerely hope someone will take this review to heart and do some soul-searching to make their farm a welcoming and positive environment as they say they want it to be. We love horses and horse people and want to see everyone succeed.
