Been taking my chihuahua here for a several group sessions now and its been very rewarding for the both of us. The instructors are informative and caring. I am very happy taking my pup here
I took the fearful dog class and I would high recommend. They were very kind and gave me lots of tips for working with my dog specifically. They classes were just the right amount of time, they flew by but still seemed to be about the limit of what my dog wanted for the day!
Every dog is awesome. We took our dog, Laika for their beginner manners classes, and the trainers were very sweet and helpful. Prices are affordable for the 6-week group classes (about $200 if I remember correctly) but, they also offer no questions asked financial aid on their website. We plan on taking our dog back…
I've done a lot of dog training at different facilities over the years, and I've been really impressed with Every Dog! The trainer (Maxine) is so knowledgeable and lovely - I've gotten excellent tips and rationale from her. I absolutely LOVE the fact that they do an equipment trade-in/low cost option for gear, so…
Affordable, effective, and fun! I especially love that the agility course is indoors! The trainers we have met have all been very knowledgable and friendly. We would be here all the time if we lived a little closer!
We met with Alexandra virtually to talk about a newly adopted dog with anxiety. They were extremely kind and patient, and they helped us understand what options were available to manage the anxiety. With all of the stress of a new dog who is struggling to feel safe, it was such a relief to feel heard get feedback from someone knowledgeable.

Thanks so much for working with us, Virginia!
I've done a lot of dog training at different facilities over the years, and I've been really impressed with Every Dog! The trainer (Maxine) is so knowledgeable and lovely - I've gotten excellent tips and rationale from her. I absolutely LOVE the fact that they do an equipment trade-in/low cost option for gear, so you can size up harnesses, etc. as your puppy grows - so brilliant! It's a bit out of the way, but totally worth the drive for fabulous and affordable training!
Kiran, thank you so much for your kind words! It's been great working with you.

Thanks so much for your kind words, Ben! Alexandra is amazing.
Every Dog saved us after a $5,000 board-and-train nightmare. Another program returned my reactive dog wearing a spiked choker, still lunging, and with a warning that they would never be sociable. Maxine Wilkes and her team completely turned things around. They are the kindest, most effective trainers I’ve ever worked with. Thanks to their humane, force-free approach, my dog can finally relax and actually enjoy walks. Highly recommend!
Barb, we're so sorry about your previous training experience- and SO glad we were able to help! Thanks for this lovely review.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As a first-time dog owner, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing when I brought home my Goldendoodle puppy, Brownie. She was the definition of a land shark—I had bruises all over my hands and ankles, and I honestly cried almost every day from the time she was 9 weeks old until she was 4 months old. Finding Every Dog Behavior completely changed our lives. I started Brownie in Puppy First Grade, where I not only learned how to train her, but also how to be a better dog owner. Wanting to help her even more, I enrolled her in Puppy Day School twice a week. It was hands-down the best investment I could have made. Every trainer is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, kind, and genuinely cares about the dogs they work with. You can tell they truly want every dog—and every owner—to succeed. Brownie is now 7 months old, and we’ve graduated from the puppy program. The difference in her behavior and my confidence as a dog owner is incredible. I honestly can’t imagine where we’d be without Every Dog. If you’re on the fence about professional training, don’t be. Every Dog Behavior is worth every penny and would be my first recommendation to anyone
Kara, you ROCK! It's been so wonderful working with you and Brownie.
I first found Every Dog Behavior and Training several years ago through a recommendation from a veterinary behaviorist, and I’m so glad I did. They were an incredible resource when I was working with my reactive rescue dog. Now I’m back with my current puppy, and we’ve taken several group classes here, including Puppy, Basic Manners, and Puppy Agility. Every experience has been fantastic. The facility is clean and welcoming, the staff is knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely invested in helping both dogs and their people succeed, and the classes are exceptionally well organized and thoughtfully managed. I’ve learned so much, and my dog has too. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Every Dog Behavior and Training, whether you’re working through behavior challenges or just looking for high-quality training classes.
Katie, it has been such a pleasure working with you! Thank you for the kind words.
The staff is so friendly and kind. I took my puppy here for Puppy Day School to work on socialization, make some friends, and get some mini trainings in. They provided me with great feedback, advice, and a packet with training and games to play at home. They also send you pictures and videos of your babe while they were at school! Great place and we will be back :)
Thanks so much for training with us, Ashlee!
