As soon as the Puppy Preschool trainer walked in the door, my Golden Retriever puppy had a new friend for life! I was immediately struck by how much Marsha (the trainer) immediately showed affection and care for Lea Lea (the dog). This was no standoff-ish trainer expecting perfection from the first second. Marsha's first words were "We're gonna love the dog to death, we just need her to behave!" This "love first" attitude, preferring positive reinforcement over harsh correction, makes Puppy Preschool a joy to work with, and easy to recommend. Marsha has taught me how to teach Lea Lea to be a first-class canine citizen by using all of that puppy energy, not by squelching it! Thanks to Puppy Preschool, I know I now own a dog that will not just be a tolerable distraction, but will make my life richer everyday.

Queen (Yorkie) and I have been together for approximately eleven (11) years. I have never had my dog caged or housed at a public facility. Puppy Preschool was recommended and initially I was not sure what to expect. These past few years Puppy Preschool is the only dog sitter we will go to.

Using Puppy Preschool has been a savior, this is the first company/person since owning Queen I was 100% comfortable. I am comfortable to travel for weeks at a time and not be worried if I unable to call during my travels. I have never been comfortable enough to go away and not be concerned if Queen was being cared for and safe. I love the owner; I feel safe and most of all, Queen is happy. When Queen sees the owner she cries which has "never" occurred with any other sitter/person. I love Queen and being over protective of her welfare Puppy Preschool provides a peace of mind which is priceless!! I recommend Puppy Preschool to everyone and anyone who owns a furry friend!

Puppy Preschool is a member of our family!!

In a matter of minutes Marsha had our playful poodle Henri acting like a real gentleman.. or should that be gentledog. He never even bothered to come when called before Marsha started working her magic. Now he sits, stays, takes a bow and even does his own version of the "Electric Slide" on command. She really helped us to understand our dog so that we could be better pet owners and he could be a better behaved member of our family.

I am so very impressed with this company! My wife called them and I was very skeptical. The trainer told my wife on the phone "You'll see a change in your dog's personality from the first day" and I just laughed. She didn't know our little devil spawn Pitt Bull, Lacey. The trainer walked in our house and Lacey immediately walked up to her to jump up like she always does, but the trainer held up her right index finger, look her in the face and said "AHHNT" and Lacey stop in her tracks and sat down without so much as a whimper or growl. I was speechless! And I remainded speechless for the rest of that class. My sister and neice came by to visit just after the trainer left and called to say she was on her way so I could put Lacey in the back yard, but I didn't. When my sister and neice saw the immediate change in Lacey they couldn't believe that the trainer had only been there for one hour! I gaver her card to my sister, and now my sister uses them. My sister gaver her card to her neighbor, and they start thier classes with Puppy Preschool next weekend! The trainer who came to my house is better than The Dog Whisperer! And that's no exageration!!!! I recommend them to anyone who has a dog or will ever have a dog! Training is guaranteed for the life of the dog because they know they're so good, no one will ever need to use it! Thank the powers that be for Puppy Preschool and my God bless them with continued success! These people are a Godsend.

Marsha with Puppy Preschool is awesome! She truly cares for the well being of each puppy and wants to help each family to really enjoy their pet. Our Great Dane Gwenivere has done so well under her training that even my vet was impressed. I would highly recommend Puppy Preschool and our trainer Marsha; however, all the other trainers with Puppy Preschool are just as great(per Marsha). Marsha also gave us information about our puppy's health and play that complimented the vet's instructions. In home training is the way to go!

I have a German Shepard and Pitt mix. Mya's still a puppy at 8 months old, hyper and very strong. Before I called Puppy Preschool I was at my wits end trying to control her. Puppy Preschool has been my saving grace. Marsha is Mya's personal trainer and is unbelievable! By the end of the first lesson, Mya had already learned some of her obedience training. What was even better than that was Marsha taught me how to be the "pac leader". This changed everything! Mya immediately began respecting me as the "Alpha". It is amazing how much I have enjoyed her after that because she is not battling me for control every day. In just 4 visits, Mya has successfully learned to Sit, Lay, Come, Stay, Leave it, not to jump on people, walk without pulling me while on a loose lease, a trick, go to her bed and not to jump on my bed unless invited. In addition to this, I called Marsha numerous times between visits. She has even come over just to make sure I had Mya's harness on correctly (I have never been a dog owner before). In additional to receiving a wonderful framed picture of myself, Mya and my daughter (whom Marsha involved during training), Mya received a certificate of completion with our picture on it as well. At the end of our 4th visit, Marsha suggested she and I go to the local pet store where she walked the store while giving me all the do's and don'ts of buying Mya. With Puppy Preschool offering a life time guarantee, I feel confident that my family will forever be thankful!

I can't believe the difference in my dog. I'll never have another trainer. I knew my dog was smart, but the trainers here taught me to speak dog. Now I can get my dog to do anything without ever speaking to him. It only takes a look. And I now know there's never a reason to yell at or hit a dog to get them to do what you want. I had my 16 week old dog potty trained in 4 days! Now he even does tricks besides being well mannered and obediant! Every dog should be lucky enough to meet these trainers. Thank you so much from me and Snuffy!
