The Fundamental Dog

Marie is an amazing trainer and it's easy to tell that she has a way with dogs and humans as well. She sets up her puppy classes so that when your puppy is ready to come to class, the puppy can start on the next Tuesday or Saturday morning. Other dogs WILL be on different levels than yours. That is OK. Your dog will learn each thing. Marie forgets names but who doesn't?! She has more than just you and your dog on the brain. She has taught me and my dog so many things over the years and if I don't understand something I can ask her and she will explain in terms that I can relate!

A great place for kind and effective dog training using positive reinforce the methods. The owner is good with both dogs and people.

The trainer is very unorganized. We took our puppy to the puppy class offered. It is a four week class. It has no start date so you are in class each time with people who have been to more classes or with people who are beginners. Through the whole four weeks, my dog only learned sit and lay down. She couldn't remember where we were at in our learning. Our last visit, she was locking up as we arrived. She didn't remember we had class. It was our dog and a beginner puppy in the class. She spent the whole time with the new puppy. We almost got up and left. Then she wanted our dog to show the other dog the "hand tap". We hadn't learned that! It was a complete waste of $100. Not to mention that each class we had to spend a good 15 minutes taking our dog around to different baby toys so he wouldn't be scared. Great concept for the first class. After the first class, it is useless. At the end of our dog's last class, she wanted to print out a completion certificate- so we went into her office. She processed to tell my husband that since her dogs were in the office, she thought it was rude for him to bring our dog in there!!! Some trainer she is....

And even though she had a whole wall full of cheap leashes (about 15) she harassed us each time for using our retractable leash. It was ridiculous for us to buy a new leash just for the 45 min class when she has leashes to provide- although she acts like its a huge deal.

My dog came away learning sit and lay down. Do not waste your money!
