I was referred to India Baker by a friend. This is my first time being a "one dog" Mama. I decided on training because I wanted more for me and Appy, my new to me two year old pup. India brought an understanding to me that just because Appy may be skilled in her foundational teachings doesn't necessarily mean we are deeply connected. It does mean that Appy happens to respond well to my commands. Our teachings/learnings from India goes beyond that. It became about me getting to "read" my pup through her body language and "signs." India did this first through an awareness. Awareness that held curiosity, conversation, demonstration, positive reinforcement and feedback of "good dog" pats, treats, voice and becoming "more" in our connection during and after our classes. Appy and I are in our third "learning and growing skills and connection class" (my words) with India...and absolutely love it. Thank you, India!!! read more

We asked for a private session with India to refresh our skills with a new Aussie after previous training sessions (with other dogs and other trainers). Our new dog was 1.5 years old and very responsive to commands and treats as rewards. So India worked with both of us and our dog to discover where her strengths are and what could be improved. India is intuitive, highly knowledgeable, informative and very responsive to each owner's needs. She understands dog behavior better than anyone I have ever known! If anything, she gave us more than we could absorb, but wrote it all down to study at home after the lesson, thank goodness. We could not be happier with our session and feel we can return at any time for a refresher or to solve a particular problem. read more

We sent our Golden Retriever Vince to spend a week with India at Moxie Dog Training and she did a wonderful job with him. India took time when we picked up Vince to review how to address certain behaviors. India also followed up with emails to see how he was doing and how we were doing. India also has her dogs involved in training which was great for Vince get used to being around other trained dogs. She not only trained the dog, she trained us. I used Moxie dog training because it came highly recommended by our breeder. I highly recommend using her training process b/c it worked, it was extremely reasonably priced and most of all, we got results. read more

Wonderful!! India is a master at her craft. We just completed the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Training 6-week course with our 4 month old Golden Retriever and are now feeling like confident puppy owners! India is very knowledgeable about all things dogs (and horses!). We called/texted India as needed with questions throughout our training and she always responded quickly with suggestions and encouraging words. Whether you have a new puppy or an older dog that would benefit from individual or group training, India Baker is the one to call! Beth Newry, Maine read more

India at Moxie Dog Training was a great find. My husband and I needed help training our 3 month old Lab puppies. She took the time to find out what we wanted out of the classes and was able to accommodate our hectic schedule into a regular schedule of training sessions . India understood that we (my husband & I ) & both puppies had different learning styles she took that in stride and fun learning was had by all. Success! We will continue with advanced obedience and or agility with India at Moxie Dog Training. read more

My dog, Bernie, and I did India's Canine Good Citizen Class and it was beneficial for both of us. Bernie is a 5 year old Black Lab rescue from Tennessee who had little previous training. He did so well working under India's guidance and we are delighted with the results. I highly recommend Moxie Dog Training. Bernie and I look forward to doing more advanced trainings with India in the future. read more
