My Basset has been socialized since birth and he loves all dogs and all people. Doggie daycare and…read moreday camp have been something that he has always loved. After taking him to Ketch for a few months, he started acting very strange. He seemed to like going there at first but then something happened and he changed drastically. The minute I would make the turn onto Gardner Road to go to Ketch, his body would literally start shaking. He was terrified to go there. I dont know what happened to him at that facility but I never took him there again. I watch him like a hawk and I know when something is wrong with him. He has never acted that way again since I stopped taking him there. Keep an eye on your dogs behavior if you take him there. I hope this never has to happen to anyone else.

She also goes for daycare which is so easy. She had an "interview" the first day to ensure she was a good fit and since then the staff knows her and drop off and pick up are a breeze.

Recently completed the Junior Basic Obedience course with my crazy puppy, Luka. Sandy G and Carrie…read morewere great instructors. Sandy was responsive to my questions via email and a very helpful, friendly person overall. I learned so much about how to train a dog. We went from him pulling, barking, not listening at all to me to a SO much more polite puppy that actually started to look to me for cues and commands. Amazing difference in 6 weeks. This place is run completely by volunteers (thank you!) and the prices for the group trainings (meet once a week) are affordable. Yes, it is loud in there and yes, you won't get much one on one since it's group training. But we really benefitted from taking this class. The noise and distractions actually helped me in training redirection. The homework that was given each week was very easy to follow and it was easy to show my husband and son how to be involved in reinforcing the training at home. We look forward to taking more group trainings here. This has been an awesome outlet to burn some mental energy and bond with my dog.

I have received expert instruction in every class. My two dogs and I are now successfully competing in Agility Trials because of the excellent instructors teaching here at DTCT. Penny, Bailey and I are grateful for every instructor along the way as we have worked towards our goals. I urge anyone who wants a better behaved dog or just wants to be active with their dogs to check out all the different classes that our offered at DTCT. There is sure to be something for every one. You will get the best instruction at very reasonable prices. Due to my positive experiences I became a member of the club.

I have a 3 year old pit-mix named Blu. He is not absurdly disobedient he just had a few problems…read moresuch as extreme pulling on the leash and easily excitable around other dogs and new people. Angel was a very nice individual and the training price was very appealing compared to other trainers. I was not informed that the training relied heavily on the e-collar until I arrived at the training location to drop Blu off. I have already had an e-collar at home for a while and it only improves his behavior when he wears it. I thought the training would be something like positive reinforcement training or any other training technique besides using the e-collar. I went with it only because I figured she was a professional dog trainer and not a first time dog owner like myself, so she probably knows how to properly train with it. I went with the three week board and train program that is offered because it was the best option for my work schedule. From day one of the three week board and train program Angel assured me that communication would be top tier and I wouldn't have to worry about that. She was very nice and said everything any dog owner would want to hear when entrusting their dog with a complete stranger. Nonetheless during the three weeks it was extremely hard to get in touch with Angel. I would text for a check in to make sure everything was going good every now and then, but I wouldn't receive a response for days on end which was very alarming and I was extremely worried. I gave Angel the benefit of the doubt and chalked it up to be that she was busy training Blu. However this lack of communication continued throughout the entire three weeks which is unacceptable. On the day of pick up Angel offered to take me on a walk through in Home Depot with Blu to demonstrate the process of continuing the training at home. This walk through was explanatory and she provided useful information that I could use at home with Blu to keep up the improvements. This was a pleasant experience and I felt she explained and demonstrated very well. Once we were departing from Home Depot taking Blu home I noticed wounds on his elbows paws and his back legs. I immediately messaged Angel and asked for an explanation. I waited two weeks to give her a chance to respond before leaving my review, but I have yet to hear anything. I am very frustrated that Blu was sent home with injuries and no explanation as to what happened. Upon returning home Blu's behavior such as jumping on strangers from excitement seems to be the only major improvement. It still happens occasionally but not with everyone like before. He also continues to pull on walks even when I use the e-collar, the pulling seems to ease once he's exhausted himself. I follow all the routines and instructions Angel provided at Home Depot, but Blu reverts back to his previous behavior anytime the collar is off. I was informed that it would take time and repetition to see real improvements but it seems as though his good behavior is reliant on the e-collar. Angel informed me this would only happen if I put the e-collar on only when going on walks. However he wears it all day and I remove it at night as instructed. Overall the experience was not great but I would assume this is the reason the other training prices are so expensive. I believe the service was extremely overpriced for what I received, and I feel as though I've just paid $1400 for an e-collar and a few pointers.

There aren't enough good things I could say about Angel and her work with our Baylee girl. Still in…read moreher "puppy" stage, Baylee came with a lot of energy, excitement, and curiosity. Angel was able to use all of that in a constructive way to help Baylee learn some boundaries. Thankfully Angel was very open with communication and sent updates frequently which was a big ease on our minds because we felt we could trust Angel, even not knowing a whole lot about her beforehand. We picked up our Vizsla yesterday and there is a huge difference in discipline. Obviously the first week back with us will be the most challenging, but if we do our part, there's no doubt in my mind that these new "tricks" will stick for good. We highly recommend Angel as a loving and hard working dog trainer.

Ann and her English Bulldog, George are the perfect duo ! I signed up for the puppy training…read moresessions through Zoom (all virtual) and it was one of the best decisions I've made when it comes to my pup. Ann is professional, patient, thoughtful, knowledgeable, friendly, caring--I can go on and on. Before our first session, my puppy was THE chomping monster. I felt lost and frustrated. But, after one session, I learned so much about communication between myself and my dog and how important it is to understand how dogs learn. Throughout each session, Ann would demonstrate the commands with George then have me perform the same thing with my dog. As she watched, she was able to correct what needed adjusting and explained as she did that. Each and every time, she was able to teach me and my pup new things. My puppy is now a puppy who others compliment on for her good behavior and focus on me. One thing to note is Ann emails handouts that review what she went over in the last session which is super helpful--you have to do the work to see progress with your dog. And Ann provides all the tools necessary to succeed. I would 100% recommend Ann (and George!) for any dog training wants and needs.
