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!

COVID RESPONSE UPDATE:…read more Our pup Oliver has been feeling super cooped up over the last few months. Walks can only do so much and he was really restless and getting into some trouble around the house. He really needed some socialization so we decided to take him to BreedAbove for a play date. I called ahead to make sure his vaccines were up to date (it's been a while since he had been) and emailed the updated certificates to get him all set up. The next day we dropped him off and he was SO EXCITED he didn't even look back at me as they took him in. He had the best time and I was so happy to see him tired and satisfied. "He played hard with EVERYONE!" they told me when I picked him up! Pick up and drop off is all curbside and staff is masked. I was so happy to see some of our favorite staff members there after almost a year away, and they were just as excited to see Oliver, remembering him after all this time (they also remembered his sister Poppy, who is not so into playing with other dogs and stayed home with us). The windows are all decorated super cute with lots of positive notes painted on the side. I had to update my payment info since my card expired since last we were here and they came out to take the card and brought it back out to me so I didn't have to go inside at all. I ended up buying another batch of day passes for him and I'm excited to be able to drop him off easily and safely whenever he needs a little excitement.

I bring Carl to Arbor Dog on days when I work long hours. They are open for drop off at 6;30 am and…read moreclose at 7 pm M-F and also have weekend hours. He has also stayed overnight when I cannot take him with me out of town. There are numerous "rooms" for dogs of different temperament and energy. It is all crate free, all the time. Each room has an outdoor area that dogs access by a garage door. They have a special artificial grass, so he does not come home dirty. Staff are so loving and take great care of him. How can I be sure? There are cameras. And you can tell in how they interact with the dogs. I have known the owner, Margaret for over 12 years. She and her husband are committed to providing the best care at an affordable price. And there are the special events. You can sign up for Halloween photos, pictures with Santa and doggie craft projects. Carl loves going, and comes home tired. What else could I ask for?

I first learned about Adele when my dog's breeder recommended her book, Competition Obedience: A…read moreBalancing Act. I never expected to do obedience competitively, but the book gave me a lot of great ideas for training my new puppy. I took a couple of classes with my dog at Northfield Dog Training, both times with Adele. I learned a lot and raised a well-behaved pet. With the goal of getting my current dog certified as a therapy animal, I'm back to Northfield Dog Training to polish up my dog training skills. I have been making tiny mistakes. Having a coach is a huge help. Having a small set of weekly goals makes the behavior modification seem simpler (for me, as well as my dog.) I am excited after just one class. I can do this. A good teacher helps you to start believing that you can do more with the resources you already have. ~~~ The training facility is in the country on a dirt road (Ellsworth just west of Wagner.) Classes take place in a huge pole barn at the back right corner of the property. The driveway turns to the right. On the website see the Facilities | Map & Directions page for the location and a photo of the driveways & class areas. The driveway splits when it turns the corner, so you ought to know that in order to prevent a logjam on a busy night. There are rubber mats on the floors to give the dogs a grip. There are two training areas: one for agility, another for obedience and other activities that require a lot of open space. There are daytime, evening and weekend classes. There is a restroom. To sign up for a class, go to the website and enter yourself and one or more dogs into the database. You pay online with a credit card. This eliminates the need for an office and lots of paperwork. Just don't use Chrome as your browser. Internet Explorer works. Adele has a YouTube channel, where you'll find examples of concepts introduced in the classes. There is also a Yahoo group to discuss dog training. I am impressed that she is using the available technologies to enhance what the instructors are doing in the classes.

He didn't just train our dog--he trained us how to communicate with her effectively. The results were incredible: she is noticeably calmer, more submissive, and overall much happier. Danny's methods are simple, practical, and easy to apply in everyday situations--both inside and outside the home. He truly lives up to the title of a "dog whisperer." Our girl has always been wary of men, yet she responds to Danny with ease and trust, which speaks volumes about his approach. What stands out most is that Danny didn't teach us to avoid our dog's triggers. Instead, he showed us how to calmly and confidently handle them and set both our dog and ourselves up for success. Walks are no longer stressful--we no longer feel the need to dodge people or other dogs. Instead, they've become enjoyable again. The Saturday pack walks have quickly become the highlight of our week. Danny consistently provides encouraging and constructive feedback that helps us continue progressing and building confidence. Whoever said you can't teach an old dog new tricks has clearly never worked with Danny. We are beyond grateful for his guidance and highly recommend K-9 Behavior Rehabilitation to anyone looking to transform their relationship with their dog.

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.
