Chris writes: "Excellent class for my black lab Scout and our family to get the fundamentals down. I consider this class more effective than a book because of the excellent handouts and personalized attention." (Sep 2011)
Greg writes: "The Basic Obedience class was the most useful training in the fundamentals of how to make a dog a true and enjoyable companion and member of the family I have attended during the past 30 years of training with four other dogs. The class goes far beyond getting your dog to obey a command and shows how to communicate with your dog in developing a friendship and building a trust. Each class is extremely well-organized and packed with practical information on how to train and, just as important, how to care for your dog. The instructor explains and assistants and their dogs demonstrating each command, make for a well-paced and very efficient and effective learning process. You receive individual help and advice with each command as you and your dog work together in the class and hand-out material explaining each command and other information on caring for your dog. The instructors and assistants are all top-notch in the way they teach and their knowledge and skills in working with dogs and they genuinely appreciate and love dogs. You owe it to yourself and your dog to receive this training – the sooner, the better. It will be well-worth the time and effort for both of you. " (Sep 2011)

Chris writes: "I adopted a very active dog from a shelter. He was 1½ years old with little training. PDT was very helpful in teaching techniques that eased my dogs transition into our home. The dog and I both learned a lot from the class" (July 2011)
Marla writes: "It was a great class. Even though it was our 2nd dog, we learned lots of new things that a previous class did not talk about." (July 2011)
Marty & Theresa writes: "The class is very positive. It was a big hit for our puppy. It gave us knowledge for the day to day issues that may arise in our lives.
