Sue was recommended to me by a cousin who was working at a dog boarding facility in Hampton, NH and…read moreI am sure happy that she did. Sue works out of Club Canine in Portsmouth, NH along with K9 Kaos in Dover, NH in addition to at your own home personal training and pet sitting/training. Chewie was an abused dog on death row in Arkansas and I had taken him to a group trining class at Club Canine in Portsmouth run by Sue. Chewie was the only small dog in the room but she made sure to give each dog and owner personalized attention and he graduated the class with flying colors; after a while he looked forward to going to these weekly classes and stopped trying to cower away from the door or pull me away from the building. After graduation my husband and I hired Sue for at home personalized training with Chewie to get him used to being near and interacting with other dogs. Of course Chewie will always be a work in progress and I curse the individuals who hurt him but he has made giant strides for such a little guy, thanks to the help of Sue. A few years later we found another rescue that we had fallen in love with, she was found in a hoarding/ breeding home in TN and was rescued after Animal Control found out she was pregnant. One of her puppies did not make it and after working with her very loving fosters she started becoming healthy and was ready for adoption. Velma, being so young, came with a whole new set of issues and we called upon Sue again for at home training which she always followed up with emails. Velma has problems with potty training plus she and Chewie were not getting along by any means and Sue helped us immensely. After several months of working with the dogs, taking Sue's advice, they are now best friends and I have a hard time remembering those first few months. My husband and I ended up buying our first home recently and hired Sue yet again for at home personalized training as the dogs become acclimated to their new space, environment and neighborhood surrounded by families with their own dogs. Sue practiced walking around the neighborhood with us and the dogs by pointing out body language and how to react in the situations that came up. She was also kind enough to bring her new pup, Nacho, into the back yard to observe the dogs behaviors with one another. I highly recommend Sue's personal training AND group classes as each have added so much to our lives with our rescue pups. This career choice was definitely a calling! We all love Sue so much, dogs included, we found out she does overnight care and she will be looking after Velma and Chewie when we go on a mini vacation later on this year! This is coming from a person who doesn't trust a soul with her dogs and would usually just take them on vacation with us.... Sue is the most trustworthy person I know and I trust her fully with my fur babies.

I've been going to nose work classes with Pam Hansen for…read moreless than a year and my 2 girls are having a ball! I started because I rescued a French bull mix that was afraid of everything. It was suggested to enroll in classes to challenge her. She started immediately to find treats in boxes and from there with Pam's training she had become quite the confident dog. Sometimes my Corgi would join in the games at home so she is now going to Pam's classes as well. Both my girls are having such a great time they can't wait to go to class. They know exactly where we're going on Tuesday nights. It's such great exercise for them and myself as well. We've been to CGC classes as well and now have passed with Merrilyn Hill as our instructor. I can't say enough good things about POC. I plan on attending a lot more classes because of the fun and exercise, especially now that fall and winter is coming.

We started with our puppy at 3 months. 8 were in the class. We did have a couple of "aggressive" puppies. In no time Merrillynn had the puppies responding to their owners well, without any aggression. You certainly can tell what owners work with the dogs during the week! Boy, the ones who only come to class must be disappointed, because they haven't taught the puppies and muscle memory to build upon each week.

Cindy came to my apartment and really helped me to find ways to make my dog comfortable. Not only does she train the dog but she helps you understand how to read your dog in different situations. She uses positive reinforcement to train and it has been a wonderful experience. Cindy goes above and beyond her training sessions by sending informational papers to read about training, letting you take videos of the sessions, and allowing you to call or text her with any questions you have. Overall, my dog has improved a lot and the experience with Cindy was fantastic!

He next sent his assistant in to close the deal for $2,500. They never discussed the cost of monthly training afterwards. We decided to think about it overnight after Chris suggested we check out his website and watch his videos. My wife emailed Chris that same evening with a few questions for clarification before we signed up. 3 weeks later-no response. I guess he didn't want our business. Not a great way to run a company. As a side note, we're getting some excellent dog training now in-home with a great instructor for $1,100 less. And he's teaching US what we're doing wrong.
