Gracie Reed did an excellent job training our latest addition to our family! She also did a phenomenal job teaching us to. Our rescue dog has mastered his basic commands, has pretty great recall, and is way more comfortable with his crate time. Previously he used to cry for long periods of time, however, now he goes into his crate easily and views it as his safe place. He is an excellent walker now. He used to pick up everything on the road- but now he has stopped that. Gracie was excellent with him, and I can tell he loves her! Thankful for Gracie- really great teacher and the 1:1 sessions after his two weeks have been so helpful. She takes the time to answer any questions and talk us through the basics. Our dog is still our lovable, goofy boy! But he is just a much better listener now. This was not only beneficial for us (his humans), but I know it also gives him a much better life to. We are able to confidently take him places and give him the life he deserves!

We loved working with Miss Twila to train our Shih Tzu, Daisy. We learned so much throughout the process. Miss Twila is incredibly knowledgeable and always had a practical solution for the challenges we faced right from behavior to potty training. Daisy was so fond of her teacher, too. We’d absolutely recommend Miss…
Gracie Reed has been a great asset for us! She has helped us take our 90 lb Cane Corso from a lost street dog to a well mannered, obedient, friendly companion who brings joy to group home residents. Grace has helpful tips and training rules. She is punctual and makes training fun and easy. She is adaptable. Most dog…
Great results and coaching from Suburban K9 and Gracie Rees specifically! Thank you for helping us, our Anatolian and English Golden, to learn how to do everything from basic commands to complex interactions and behavior reinforcements!
Gracie was absolutely AMAZING! She worked on everything we needed help with while we were away and provided us with many updates. Our dog absolutely loves her and you can tell he not only learned a lot, but had a ton of fun. We will definitely be going back! Rose was so incredibly helpful in training our dog! Couldn't recommend more.
Twila was exactly what we were hoping for to train our lab. She was so kind, patient and pleasant to work with. Her knowledge was exceptional and our big boy responded so well to what she had to offer.
our trainer Twila made training our two year-old lab so easy to control on walks… after just three visits. I’m not afraid to walk this very large strong dog. I Highly recommend Suburban k 9

Gracie Reed has been a great asset for us! She has helped us take our 90 lb Cane Corso from a lost street dog to a well mannered, obedient, friendly companion who brings joy to group home residents. Grace has helpful tips and training rules. She is punctual and makes training fun and easy. She is adaptable. Most dog training involves teaching people, and Gracie does it nicely. We highly recommend her!

Barbara - Thank you so much for the review!
I met an amazing dog trainer while shopping recently! Rose was very professional and handled public training with the dog she had extremely well. I personally will be recommending her to my friends with pets.
Thank you for the great review!
Gracie has been a lifesaver in our joyous, though chaotic, experience with our Havanese puppy. With great patience, calm, and professionalism she has successfully taught Ernie the desirable canine skills needed to live in a high rise apartment. And, thankfully, she is succeeding in training Ernie’s “parents” as well. It’s amazing how much we have learned about dog behavior that would have been helpful with the dogs we have had and loved in the past. All of us, canine and human, consider a Gracie day as a special day!
Barbara - Thank you for the great review! We are so happy to have helped!
Highly recommend Rose! Maple our pup spent two weeks with her, and the difference has been amazing. She addressed all of our concerns — Maple now walks beautifully with zero pulling, no reactive barking at dogs or people, no jumping, and no more biting or nibbling when excited. Rose also met with us twice to teach us how to continue the training at home. We are so happy with Maple’s progress!
Amanda - We are happy to hear how Maple has made such great progress! Thank you for leaving a great review!
