I am thankful for South Metro Dog Training, Inc.. My Boxer/Pit mix, Duke, came back from board and…read moretrain with so much improvement. His obedience levels through the roof. My 5 year old niece can walk him without me worrying he will drag her around the yard. He now listens to my command and stays in sit, keeping an eye on the Amazon delivery driver. A definite welcoming change from his previous levels of uncontrolled energy and excitement. Duke also greeted my mom without knocking her down. Well worth the price and time he spent there. Thank you so much! Rebecca Heimerl

Becky is incredible! I have a 5 month old Jack Russell terrier. I've read a lot (hours!) about how…read moreto train him. We've attended puppy classes. I took him to the dog park regularly and provided plenty of socialization. There were some issues that I couldn't correct including that he would become rough and easily excited during play. Potty training was the biggest hurdle we encountered. No matter what I did it couldn't get the puppy to consistently go outside to potty. I was apprehensive at the thought of sending my puppy to a stranger for two weeks at first. I was put at ease when I met Becky. It's evident that she truly cares about the dogs she works with. She sent me on average three YouTube videos a day. She did tell me to let her know if that was too many or too much information coming at me at once. She answered my messages in a timely manner and explained things well. I was concerned there was a medical reason behind the difficulty with potty training. Ideally, I should've had him evaluated prior to sending him off to train. Planning isn't always my strength. I felt better about him seeing a vet to rule out any underlying medical problem. It was difficult for me to drive to Becky's to take my puppy to the vet. She offered to meet me in the twin cities but I couldn't make it work because of other things going on at the time. Becky was completely understanding about the entire situation. She took him to a local vet for me. The vet and Becky called me to make sure I was informed about the situation and to go over options. Ruling out any medical problems gave us confirmation that it was a behavior issue. Becky was able to successfully potty train my puppy! That alone made it worth it to send him to be trained! The icing on the proverbial cake was he also came home a well mannered, calmer dog. People have commented how well he listens now. Becky brought my puppy home when training was complete. She even wrote up personalized plans for him and I to do such as obedience commands he's learned, housebreaking plan, and homework to keep up his training. She even wrote up lists for my kiddos that help them learn how to show leadership when interacting with our puppy. I cannot express how thankful I am that he had an opportunity to have my puppy train with Becky. I would highly recommend Becky to anyone that is having issues training their dog or simply wants a better mannered dog. I believe there would be a lot less dogs in shelters if we had more people like Becky!
