We were very pleased with Discover Canine Dog Training. Our golden doodle doesn’t jump on people or surf kitchen counters. We were really glad that DCDT keep the dogs being trained inside their home with their family. We were so pleased, we are sending our newest 3 golden doodles for training to them in November.

Thank you, Amanda! We appreciate you and can’t wait to meet the new babies💙
Taffy’s transformation has been amazing! She went from a wild, rambunctious golden retriever to a calm, well-mannered girl, all thanks to her incredible trainer’s patience and expertise. She’s now on her way to becoming a certified therapy dog and will soon be bringing comfort to patients in hospitals. We are so grateful for Kelly and all her hard work and couldn’t recommend her more! ❤️🐾

Thank you so much! Taffy is a special girl!! We appreciate you!
Our family has used the Hookers for training multiple dogs over the past 10 years and I can’t recommend them enough. They are a constant resource of knowledge and always available to answer questions.

Thank you Keith & Laura! We appreciate your family so much!!
Was recommended this place. I was directed to make an appointment so I did. She had to push it back a few days and thats understandable as things happen. She didn't initiate the call, I had to text her and then she called me for our appointment. She was very friendly and knowledgeable as we spoke about my dogs issues. At the end I told her I needed to speak with my spouse and I would get back with her. After talking to my spouse, I tried to call back and got no answer. I left a voice message, no answer. I waited a day or so and I texted, no answer. I called again and was directed to make an appointment. So I did. My phone consult was yesterday and nothing. No call. No message. No text. I'm incredibly disappointed in the lack of any communication from her.

Hi! I apologize if I didn’t follow up with you. Did you leave a message or text me. I don’t have a voicemail or a text from you. I often don’t receive voicemails. It is never my intention to ignore clients. What number did you call and text?
My Bentley attended training here. It was the best investment I could have made for my dog and I. He came back completely changed for the better. Kelly was very informative and communicated well. She went above and beyond to get the best results. I will forever be grateful for this training!

Thank you so much! We really appreciate your family and Bentley!
Our puppy Nash went to Discover Canine traing. We were extremely pleased with results. The trainers were the best and were highly recommended. We were especially pleased that they took time to "train" us before we brought Nash home. I highly recommend Discover Canine Training!

Look how handsome Nash is! Thank you so much! We appreciate your family! Nashy is such a good boy and is all grown up now!
Loved discover k9 so much! My boy Murphy is a large Bernese mountain dog, and was always “good” but as he got stronger and larger I was really struggling to walk him and care for him the way he needed. Since discover k9 I am confident and happy walking him, taking him around other people and dogs, and just living day to day life with such a large doggy best friend! Discover k9 made all the difference in our relationship. I was also very impressed with the care and attention sweet Murphy received while in training. He has a sensitive stomach and when he had some tummy issues I was kept updated and informed of the vet visit and how he was doing. Especially since tummy issues may be written off as minor I appreciated their concern and felt that he was just as safe and loved with discover k9 as he would be at home with me. They are so kind and send cute updates and pictures of your fur baby along the journey! 10/10 experience! WORTH IT!!!
