Cathie was the greatest and is greatly missed by all! But Bob is/was great too, as is/was Amy and everyone. They're tough, but they want you to succeed with your dog and for your dog to succeed. I wouldn't want to take my dogs anywhere else for training, but I'm thinking I may have to as their website is gone, and I can't seem to reach Bob. I tried emailing him several months ago but never received any response. If anyone knows anything, please let me know!

I enrolled him in this training class with Bob who is the owner of RSC, not having a CLUE what to do. Bob has taught me so many techniques and ways to handle my dog, and it has turned him into an extremely well behaved dog, and myself a well educated owner. People do not realize the hard work that you need to put into training a dog, but I learned very quickly when I started these classes. Not only is Bob a great trainer but he has turned into a great friend in my life. I never thought that someone that is my "dogs trainer" would end up so personal, but I can call or text him anytime I have an issue or question about anything. He is so educated in what he does it blows my mind to even think that my dog is so well behaved now. I am starting the next class with him in June, and I know I will not be disappointed. He is a great trainer, loves his job and any dog that he meets. :)

Nick is the best. His 20 years of experience working with…read moredogs shows, as he was able to identify and address behavior in my one year old puppy immediately. In addition to that I had to go out of town and bordered by dog with him, and this little puppy was excited to see me, followed by knocking out the rest of the day because he was tired from playing and just doing dog things...which is no small task. I happily give Nick and off-leash canine five stars.

I reached out to her before adopting my Great Dane puppy (Cassian), so I could work with him on some basic training in the initial weeks when he wasn't fully vaccinated. We took the Private 6 Week Basic Obedience and Good Manners Course and it made such a huge difference in those initial few weeks. Not only did Cassian learn a lot of great foundational training behaviors, but Rachel also helped coach me as an owner on how to capture good behaviors, work on my reward timing and was just such a friendly and compassionate trainer (listened to all my new puppy parent grievances and provided great advice). After the class, Cassian can now : Sit, Down, Stay, Come, Settle, Leave It / Wait & Touch!

We came to Amy with just one dog, but she was able to help us select a second dog to fit our family, too. Since Amy is also a Vet Tech, she can provide basic Vet advice as well as refer you to reputable vets and boarding facilties. She is very well contected in the "Dog World." One of our dog's has completed the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) training with Amy and we are currently training our second dog in CGC and Protection Work. Seeing Amy work with both of our dogs individually and together shows me that she adapts her approach for each dog and each "pack." You will truly receive customized training and feel confident in your dog's obedience after working with Amy."

I received a second call from Denise this evening explaining in more detail why she did not return…read moremy call in a timely manner in September concerning a much needed appointment for my dog. It all made good sense and we have all been in situations where were have made mistakes due to circumstances that life presents. Denise offered to see my dog free of charge and while she was offering me an explanation she was not making excuses for not returning my call sooner. So while I have since resolved my dog's problem with her arhritis-at this stage-and don't require the free appointment it was kind of her to offer it to me. So I'm hoping all of you can also give her a chance as well. By the way, my dog is taking Cosequin-which I purchased from our vet-and is now able to walk on all four again, allow me to chase her all over the house with her fuzzy purple bug-eyed toy in her mouth, (her favorite game!), and while she isn't able to take long walks like the old days she is able to take short ones. But check with your vet or Denise about Cosequin before giving it to your dog and please don't buy something that may not be the real deal to save a few pennies. Denise, I wish you good luck with your new business and perhaps in the future I may take you up on your offer.
