I love Down Dog Studios! I first brought my adult rescue dog (Zula) there a couple years ago because she was very skittish and not very confident. By the end of the basic class she was an awesome student and learned so much. They use clicker training and positive reinforcement and it worked so well for Zula. This year we got a Labrador puppy (Goose). He did both puppy classes and I feel they are really going to set him up to be an amazing dog. He learned a lot of skilled like being introduced to new objects and vet equipment, how to play with other dogs, and basic commands. I will recommend anyone with a dog to give them a try.

I have learned so much in a few private sessions. Positive reinforcements creates more bonding opportunities with the dog. Reggie really responds quickly to Kish's techniques.

I've attended three different courses so far with my 6 month old German Shepherd puppy. The instructors, Kish and Jen, are incredibly knowledgeable with positive reinforcement techniques and marker training. They expertly use barricades to help the dogs ignore each other and focus on their owners. My dog is excited-reactive with other dogs and with their help we've reduced his reaction radius significantly, resulting in way less barking and pulling. We can walk down our road (FOUR houses with reactive dogs and only one way out since it's a long cul de sac) without him making a peep. Other dogs he hasn't met/heard before are way more interesting than the daily barkers we pass, but with their Find It, pre-reaction clicking, and climbing the leash techniques he only perks up a bit at passing dogs and is easily redirected when we can see him about to react. Fantastic trainers.

We have a wonderful, but over reactive, pitmix. Down Dog Studios w/ Kish and her team, offered amazing classes, and individual sessions, that targeted our needs and helped us learn skills to help our dog have a better everyday experience. Cannot recommend Down Dog Studios enough!!

Down dog studio uses science based positive reinforcement methods to help you build a better relationship and understanding of your dog! We've been working with them for almost a year now to help with both our reactive 5 year old dog and also our puppy, we wouldn't use anyone else!

It doesn't look like much but it's well run, great trainers & program. I think it has the best puppy-K program in the FM area.

Well worth it. Jett and his humans learned a lot. Walks are much better. The clicker really works.
