High Drive Dog Company, led by Carly, offers dog training programs focused on changing the owner's behavior to improve the dog's well-being. Carly is known for her direct and comprehensive training style, emphasizing the importance of understanding dog behavior. The company's foundation classes are lecture-heavy, aiming to educate owners on how dogs think and how their actions can impact their dogs. Carly believes that the key to successful training is shifting the owner's mindset rather than simply teaching tricks. Some owners may find Carly's approach challenging as she provides direct feedback, which can be perceived as criticism. However, this feedback is intended to be constructive and help owners identify areas for improvement. High Drive Dog Company emphasizes the importance of consistent practice and reinforces training outside of class sessions. Owners report seeing positive changes in their dogs' behavior, such as improved leash manners, decreased barking, and increased confidence. The program has been praised for its effectiveness in addressing behavioral issues and strengthening the bond between dogs and their owners. Owners who are committed to understanding and changing their own behavior to better communicate with their dogs are likely to benefit from High Drive Dog Company's training methods.
Our and Tilly’s training with Carly at High Drive has been a game changer. We communicate so much better with Tilly and our learning has made a huge difference. So grateful that we found High Drive.

Amazing dog training classes. Carly teaches you how to communicate effectively with your dog. After the first class I was able to immediately fix our issue of having our dog jump on us when we get home. I highly recommend!

We have a small dog and didn't find the training very useful. It's mostly "chalk talk" with very little application/not great training exercises.
