What people say

We took our 4 month old dog Marsh to puppy classes with Amy and it was an amazing experience. Prior to even meeting him she gathered information about his breed, age, and behaviors we are seeing. The class allowed us to slowly socialize him with the other dogs there and learn so many tips about his development and training. Each class we received a sheet with what we learned and what we could continue to work on. The training we received was professional, caring, and completely centered around helping our individual needs with him. If you have a new puppy in your family I definitely recommend this class!

Very happy to attend the "good manners" class, where the focus is training through positive reinforcement! Great understanding of dogs and great rapport w/ people too.

My experience with Everything Dog has been absolutely outstanding. My puppy Maple and I have attended two classes with Amy and plan to take two more in the near future. After attending classes with eight trainers in several states with multiple dogs throughout the years, I can say that the education I received at Everything Dog is truly exceptional. The training is evidence-backed, rewards-based, positive and engaging. A heartbreaking experience with a reactive dog in the past highlighted how critical that type of training is, and I wish I had found Everything Dog sooner. In addition to the high-quality training, Amy and Denise are amazingly professional and communicative; they run a superb business. If you are looking for a trainer for your puppy or help with a reactive dog, I cannot recommend Everything Dog enough. Thank you so much, Amy and Denise!
