Here's the thing with sending your dog to training. It ONLY WORKS if you continue the work after…read more Having said that - I have nothing but amazing things to say about Doggone Fit and their staff. They are caring and professional. They get to really know your dog and set up a plan according to their behavioral needs. It is not a "one size fits all" training method as different dogs require different experiences with training. We are experienced German Shepherd owners, but we adopted a 9 month old Shepherd who had no previous training and was traumatized by the sudden death of her previous owner. She was nervous and insecure. She needed more than what we could give her. In comes Doggone Fit. Our trainer Richie fell in love with Leia and she him. We did the 2 week board and train and it was worth EVERY penny of the $2K+ we spent. Leia needed to learn some boundaries and build some confidence. She came home loving the tools and structure she learned. **And I will say it again** - YOU NEED to continue with the training. Your dog will come home improved and will have learned the tools, but unless you continue with the protocol your dog will backslide. We have stuck with Doggon Fit's protocol and Leia is thriving. We even boarded her for the first time with Richie and she was in heaven. It was like summer camp for her. Richie sent us daily updates and photos and we felt so good knowing she was having fun and in the hands of someone who cared for her and obviously knew her training needs. Here's a picture of our happy, confident girl now. She has come so incredibly far. If it wasn't for Doggone Fit we probably would have continued to struggle with meeting her specific needs. She loves the work she learned there and we continue with it daily. It gives her the confidence and structure she (and many dogs) need.

We had a very positive experience with Doggone Fit, which is an organization focused on dog…read moretraining and exercise including weekly adventure hikes. We initially worked with Richie for an introduction to training, which was tremendously helpful. We then worked with Joe Langlois, who was excellent with initial training and weekly adventure hikes for our pup. He spent so much time getting to know our pup to make sure he could bond and effectively work with him. He also took a tremendous amount of time to listen and explain everything including tips to help with our pup's anxieties, which have been an invaluable help. We loved having our high energy dog participate in the adventure hikes and seeing all the adorable photos Joe would very actively post after almost every walk. He obviously loves dogs and really cares about giving them exercise, fun, and training. Also he has rescued all of his dogs, a good marker of how much he cares about dogs in general. We hope to continue working with Joe and highly recommend.

This business is poorly run. I registered and paid for a Companion Dog Level I class online using…read moretheir website and paypal. After getting up early in anticipation and bathing my Lab, donning the mask, signing a Covid-19 release on the spot, meeting some nice people and their dogs, I was treated to being sequestered from the rest of the class, because they screwed up and did not have me on the list. And they were bouncing me around. Oh you need to talk to Cindy, the office-business manager. Did not bother introducing me to Cindy to help straighten things out. I had to speak up through my mask and with bouncy Lab in hand, "Excuse me, are you Cindy?" Cindy found the Paypal email, for what seemed like the first time. Honestly, she was the most helpful in the situation.Then Cindy talks with the teacher. They mumble,mumble, mumble. The teacher comes to me with the directive, you'll have to wait, because someone who is on the class list hasn't shown yet. Treating me like I am "Flying Standby". And I registered and PAID IN FULL 3 weeks prior. Those were the magic words from the teacher. That was a bolt from the heavens indicating how the dynamic of this whole transaction would be for me. It spoiled the opportunity, frankly. I asked for my money back. And then the teacher is phony apologetic, trying to save the sale. They were pretty reluctant to give the money back, having me get on the phone with the owner, Louise, and she is trying to carouse me into staying. I imagine that the staff are all under pressure. It seems like a pressure place. I simply said no thank you, please refund my money. Of course, she has to do it later, when she comes into the office. I filed a dispute with Paypal/Synchrony Bank, just to return the goodfaith and reciprocity Louise was demonstrating. I had a private lesson here with Diane, and she was recommended. I was impressed, but I also felt the place was uptight. She seemed distracted at times. I'm sure the talent here is impressive. But, it is poorly run. Also, I find it interesting that they are not setup for Google reviews. They seem to want tight control of reviews. I understand. Reputation is important.

When we adopted our puppy, Ellie, at 14 weeks old, we were so overwhelmed. We went to a consult at…read morelife is dog. Our consult was with Nance, and she was very patient in explaining the process and talking us through some initial things that we were struggling with. Then, we started with a training package that included 3 private training classes and 2 months of group obedience classes. We also went to a few puppy kindergarten classes. Nicole did the majority of our trainings and she has been a god-sent. She is very good with the dogs, and her energy level makes the training classes fun both for us and our dog. We learned a lot from Nicole and she helped us to feel a lot less stressed out and actually enjoy the puppyhood. The obedience class is set up like a monthly subscription, where you can go to as many classes as you want. We end up going about 3-4 times a week for 30 minutes, as it is a great activity to mentally exercise our dog and provide socialization while working alongside other dogs. We also started bringing our dog to their dog day camp 2x a week. Tim was also very patient in explaining the process. The dog day camp has been great in getting her to play with other dogs and allows her to learn obedience from others aside from us.

They had to call our vet after we spoke to sort it out. At the same time I found the records and it took me all of 30 seconds to google the vaccination series listed on page 1 to find what they needed. I'm not sure why they ask for records if they can't read them (or at least be able to look up themselves), and why they would wait until the last minute to do this. Although we signed up for a specific class, it was treated as part of a series, i.e. we care more about you paying for more and more classes rather than the one you actually bought. Instructor expected us to undo months of training and for our puppy to re-learn things according to their program. Not about to confuse her just to accommodate this one trainer.
