We hired The Dog Connection (Rebecca) to helps us get our furbaby in line for easier walks both on and off leash and to come when called. We booked 4 sessions with Rebecca and very quickly had excellent results. Rebecca taught us how to move in small incremental steps and reward our dog so that we could be more relaxed and in control of our dog's behaviour. Very happy with our experience and our furbaby loved Rebecca

For years I  have had dogs, and for years I have always wished that I had 'one of those dogs'…read more We all know what I mean by 'those dogs'; the behaved ones, the ok on a leash and doesn't pull you ones, the you can take anywhere ones, the ones that aren't an embarrassment. So before the arrival of my Irish Terrier puppy came I armed myself with all of the knowledge of the breed, I had made the choice and knew from day one that puppy training was not an option but a must for this dare devil dog. When Roots came we started with Puppy Training at Bosley's with Shannon from Yoga Dog, it was at the puppy stage I soon realized it was more about what we do as owners , than pulling the lucky straw. Roots and I continued with Shannon at Yoga Dog with agility classes, not for the sport but rather for the active training and bonding it provided, never mind it is a great form of constructive exercise for my Terrier and teaches him to be around other dogs. It wasn't that the dogs came behaving a certain way, but rather about what we do as owners,  I was very fortunate to have found Shannon and her services, I can honestly say that I now have 'one of those dogs'

From the owner: Yogadog combines a variety of training methods, traditional and new age, to find programs that work…read morefor all kinds of dogs and people. The five programs offered are loosely and humorously based on practices of Yoga. Yogadog specializes in puppy kindergarten, beginner obedience, advanced obedience, agility, aggression management and prevention, separation anxiety and basic pet dog training issues. In Yoga you first learn the poses, then master the poses, then develop endurance. Similarly in Yogadog Dog Training the dog learns the behaviour, then masters the poses and eventually learns to do the behaviours for longer periods of time with more endurance. All the courses and private consultations are aimed at improving the bond that the dog owner has with his or her pet and establishing better communication, so the dog can succeed. Most importantly Yogadog Training is fun and includes the whole family!

My dog and I were greeted by a friendly and happy employee. I felt comfort in leaving my dog there for a few days. Rates are very reasonable. Employees attentive and kind. When I returned to pick up my dog they didn't know I was there yet - I noticed how kind they were treating the other dogs. Mine looked comfortable around them. Definitely will use Aspen Kennels again. My pup seemed happy and tired. Big bonus is that she didn't stink - which is the usual from other boarding places.

She is knowledgeable and personable with both you and your dog and her training approaches are awesome.

Lisa has been a tremendous help to us with our dog Lucy. Lisa's expertise is invaluable! Lucy had…read morebeen in the shelter for several months when we adopted her at a little over a year old and we don't know much about her background. She is such a sweet girl with my husband and I but becomes aggressive, anxious and highly excitable in new situations. Lunging when on the leash around other dogs and barking uncontrollably when new people come to our house were 2 of the biggest problems we knew we needed help with. Lisa was recommended to us by another trainer as an expert on training dogs with behaviors such as Lucy's. We were not at all familiar with over reactive dogs but Lisa right away upon introduction was able to assess and offer positive guidance on how we can help Lucy. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable and experienced but she has a calm manner that is very reassuring. Almost immediately with her specialized help we noticed improvement in certain areas. We like the individual attention and appreciate the small class size. The lessons are broken down into a manageable size and not overwhelming. Also the training booklet includes lots of tips and examples and has been very helpful to use at home while working with Lucy. Lisa is not only wonderful with dogs but with pet parents too! My husband and I both feel that her positive feed back and support in developing a long range plan have helped us understand the steps we need to take for the best outcome. We like that Lisa can see possibilities and sees the good qualities in Lucy just as we do. We don't dread taking Lucy to class but now look forward to it and so does Lucy! We definitely would recommend Northern Tails Dog Training and Lisa Lucas. Our Lucy is a work in progress we know but those few classes with Lisa have already made a world of difference in our lives with Lucy. Thank you Lisa!

We moved to Seattle 5 years ago and haven't been satisfied with the total care of our dogs. We also were constantly referred to specialists, because the vet there does only basic care.
