Our dog knows boundaries, sit, come, place, down, leash skills, how to behave around other dogs and kids. He's fully kennel trained and loves training! It's his favorite activity to play games and train around the house. We did the puppy board and train, have been coming back for the Monday night classes and boarding him when we travel. He's time he comes home so happy and sleepy. Can't recommend Enzo's enough for all pet parents

She also took time to explain how Mack's daily life should look at home to help set us up for success. Thank you Grace at the battground location. Mack really did not like men and even would try to nip them as they walked by. He was afraid of the world and even though we took him everywhere since he was a puppy he was so fearful of everything. Yesterday we took him to a tap house we frequent and in the past Mack would hide behind us and not let any strangers touch him. Yesterday he let everyone say hi and even approached men to get pets on his own. Today on our walk he walked with confidence and was not fearful and we both strolled with confidence and ease. Yesterday I already suggested Enzo's to two people who were very impressed with Mack as other dogs were barking and he just hung out unbothered. We cannot thank you enough and we look forward to Mack's increased confidence and his example out and about of what Enzo's can do!

I love that it is a low pressure environment, but still offering many options to add complexity if we choose. It allows us to set our own pace and be as rigid or lax in our training as we choose, or to give our pup extra challenges. We have a dog that needs to be constantly challenged, so we have done a combination of behavior classes and "fun" classes (agility/tricks) and all have been great experiences. If we say it's "time for school" our dog perks up and sprints for the door, so she clearly loves her time there!

We've all learned so much in just 2 classes. What is really fabulous about HeDog training is the extensive variety of classes they offer for ongoing training.

Let me start by saying I was having a rough puppy experience. My Australian Shepard was a very…read morehigh-strung dog. I had to have a lead on her anytime the front door was opened. If I didn't, she would bolt out of the house and it would become humans herding the herding dog. She would almost always trip me when taking her for a walk and there was one time she took off and pulled the lead out of my hand and almost got hit by a car. In the house, she targeted and chased my cats. I was hoping being a puppy, she would adapt as she grew with them.... Boy, I was wrong. I was telling my frustrations with the above to a coworker one afternoon. He told me of Jill at Countryside Kennels and what they did for his 2 Dobermans 10 years ago. He said that he took 2 unruly dogs down to them, left them for 4 weeks, picked them up after a few hours of training the humans. He said that his family got back perfect dogs. I got their number from my coworker and reached out to Countryside. I talked with Erin for more specifics. I wanted to see if they still professionally trained dogs since 10 years ago was a long time. She explained everything to me and what was expected. I was very happy with what they had to offer so decided to go for it. They were already booked out into March 2019 but Erin offered to put me on a cancellation list. A month went by and I got a call asking if I would like to take her to them the beginning of December 2018. I jumped on it! What I got back is a loving dog who has major self-control! I have no problems with her running off... or even going through a door without permission. The best part is at dinner time, I say Mindi go to your bed... she goes and I tell her to stay while we cook dinner and eat. This can take an hour to an hour and a half or so. Mindi stays put and she is a real good and loving puppy that likes to keep us happy. Jill warned me that she may still be nasty to the cats... I am pleased to say that they can co-exist in the same room with my cats! She is much more obedient...... I mean She is now obedient! She was not before. Thanks so much Jill and Erin! You ladies are the best and truly know your business. I have friends heading your way soon! Tim P.

It was worth the drive. Our dog Zeus was 6 months when she entered their hunting and obedience training. She's now 6 years old and still follows commands and is excellent for my husband hunting. We're constantly getting compliments when out in public with her. Erin and Jill love their job and it shows in the results. Our dog was well cared for her entire stay. When my husband picked her up they took time to go through all of the commands with him until he was comfortable. They answered all of his questions. We referred another friend from Sacramento and he took his male lab to them. He was extremely happy with his results as well. Will take any future dogs here!

Paws Down and Julie stepped in when another local training facility refused to tailor a program to…read moreget my dog, Kemper, and I where we needed to go before a last minute move overseas. I am a disabled combat veteran, but do not qualify for a 'service animal' from non-profits because I do not have the 'correct' diagnosis, even though I suffer from the same exact symptoms as those with PTSD. My wife's mother, who lives in Europe, recently had a stroke and my wife has been by her side since early August. If I hope to see my wife at all over the next several years, because of her and my commitment to ensure that her mother gets the care and attention she deserves, we needed to be much closer than the Pacific NW, hence our uprooting. In order to have Kemper fly with me in the cabin on a grueling 10-hour trans-Atlantic flight, he needed some several skills which he was lacking when we adopted him from the West Columbia Gorge Humane Society after six years of being abandoned and abused, for no reason, by one owner after another. Even with his unjust and unconscionable treatment early in life, he is one of the sweetest and dogs I have ever known. Julie and Kemper quickly developed a strong bond and she was willing to work with me one-on-one, tailoring a training plan for both of us to get us where we need to be with just two months before boarding the plane. Having a Master's in Psychology, I am an expert in operant and classical conditioning, but lacked the understanding of how dogs think, so Julie was training both of us along the way. Kemper picked-up on things quickly and me, not so much, but we were compelled to get the job done and succeed in our mission, no room for error. Paws Down is not exactly cheap when it comes to private training, but Julie did not charge for travel time to our home and routinely stayed after the allotted one-hour appointment times. Yesterday, less than two months after starting with Julie, Kemper passed his AKC Canine Good Citizen test and his certificate is on the way, arriving well before we need it for travel to our new home. Thank you Paws Down and Julie for helping me ensure that my support animal and I make it safely to Europe, reuniting our family after moths apart.
