We were recommended the Doggone Issues class for our reactive pit bull.  Sally who teaches the class is great and the set-up for the class is very well thought out.

They TRULY care about you and your dog rather than some of the factory like dog training operations throughout the city.

We loved everyone we encountered with AnimalSense!

My puppy and I took the 6 week Middle Management class and our trainer was Nicole.

I am sure you have seen the classes at Petsmart that have 7 dogs + in class. This class at Animal Sense had 3 dogs! So we got Nicole’s undivided attention and boy did we learn.

Not only did my dog learned sit, stay, down, watch me, come, go to bed, leave it, roll over, take a bow and more. We also got tips on great leash options and learned how to nicely walk on the leash. My puppy learned a lot in the class but so did I. Nicole worked with everyone on individual basis and it was amazing to see how well she knew her students just by looking at their body language and behavior. I liked watching her work not only with my dog but also the others because she was so good with them.

Every Saturday I looked forward to going to class and seeing my puppy succeed. Every class always ended on the positive note.

In addition, after each class Nicole sent us follow up emails and additional material to reinforce the class and help us practice what we learned in class.

Nicole’s personality makes it very easy to learn from her. Nicole is very approachable and made me so comfortable in class that I was never scared of asking any questions even the silly ones. In fact, on the last day of class, it turned out that my husband was able to come to the”graduation day” and after class when we were going home in the car he said that he could see that Nicole was a really good trainer. I am so glad that I chose AnimalSense for my class. My puppy and I got very personalized training that was worth every penny. My experience with AnimalSense has been positive from the start. They helped me chose the right class and location for me as well as were great following up and always there whenever I needed them. Great customer service and great trainers.

We won person training at a silent auction with Nicole Stewart who recommended the Doggone Issues class for our reactive pit bull.  Sally who teaches the class is great and the set-up for the class is very well thought out.  They TRULY care about you and your dog rather than some of the factory like dog training operations throughout the city.  We loved everyone we encountered with Animal Sense!

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. My girlfriend got me the Middle-Management class for a Christmas present, through a Gilt City special at the time, although I would pay full price for AnimalSense classes any day of the week. This class is for the “awkward, rebellious teenage” years your dog is going to go through after they hit about 14 months or so.

Penny was okay the first few classes, and had really picked up on the instruction. Great methods, and moved forward slow and steady. One weekend, a few classes in, she started showing a lot of signs of anxiety. We were taken aside, and she was given an overlook by the instructors and told to go home and relax. Once we got home, she calmed right down. An hour or so later, I get an email from the instructor who was following up on how she felt, along with suggestions.

The next week we were taken aside again, and given plenty of private instruction, and methods on how to deal with her anxiety. That was followed up with an email with a list of suggestions, exercises and practices, and they all seem to be working.

If the classroom instruction alone wasn’t outstanding, I’d STILL recommend using AnimalSense because of the trainers. They honestly do care about your dog’s progress and make it their personal mission for you to get the most out of the session.

Simply put, my dog was a mess before I started working with AnimalSense. Now, he is vastly improved, confident, sociable and a pleasure to be around.

From the start, Sally was patient and creative in her approach to solving my dog’s problems. She gently guided me and my dog on the path to happiness and calmness. Sally is encouraging when I become frustrated and her knowledge of canine behavior is incredibly broad. Both me and my dog look forward to our training sessions. In fact, I keep signing up for additional sessions because we have so much fun and have made so much progress together.

After every session, Sally sends me a detailed report on what we covered and step-by-step instructions. These reports have been a valuable tool and allow me to work effectively with my dog on my own.

Anyone looking for a trainer should look no further than AnimalSense.
