"I like how quickly I saw results, It's not after days of practice but just minutes of learning how to coach puppy for the behavior."

"Learning how to communicate proper behavior to our dog in a postive way is the greatest benefit. I also found that we've gained confidence in our abilities as dog owners."

"Reinforcement that I am the one in charge and that my dog wants to learn and wants to please. Also reinforcement of consistency and patience."

"We gained very helpful communication strategies to help us better train Lexus."

"Better behavior, more obedient towards us."

"Understanding puppy behavior and what motivates them.

"The greatest benefit from these classes for me was teaching me how to communicate properly with my dog."

"Having the opportunity to spend time training  without the distractions of home to give him my undivided attention in an environment that shares the belief of motivational training."

"Learning how to train/work with our dog. Our experiences. And our dog really looks forward to class."

"Watching my puppy learn each week & not using a choke collar."

"Learning how to get the behaviors we needed to help Casey be safe/good in our busy household."

"We feel encouraged that Jake will continue to learn as long as we continue to provide positive training techniques."

"Feeling that there is a 'loving' solution for real communication. Susan and Mary are such persuasive, effective  instructors & really show the results with their canine partners. It convinced my family which is invaluable!"

"Greater control over the dog; she is virtually not jumping up anymore; she is more attentive to owner."

"Small number of students. Both teachers have a great way ith dogs."

"The philosophy and approach used in teaching & individualized attention if needed."

"I liked that it was very hands-on, and Fawn actually wanted to learn. With previous training techniques we've used she hated working - her ears would go back, her tail between her legs - she was just miserable and obeying because she had to. Now she wants to!

"Learning with others; it's easier for me to learn by being shown how to do something first; I don't feel like I am 'winging it'."

"Other training programs were too harsh or involved harming her and this class was all about helping the dogs ad bettering their lives."

"The small class size and individual attention."

"I am a teacher and am very 'picky' about how people present information. You both do a wonderful job of explaining what we're doing, why we're doing it, and often told personal stories. It made it fun & interesting!"

"Clear instruction, built onto previously taught behaviors as well as introducing new behaviors. I love the way you outlined how we could make it harder for the dog depending on how they were doing." (Level 2)

"Concise, short, easy, down to earth."

"I loved the positive approach - it made it so much more enjoyable. I also loved the homework sheets - they provided great info to review if I forgot and to share with the family. "

"Your ability to communicate the relationship between owner & dog"

"The clicker makes the dog think."

"Clicker training itself is the best part of the program! Positive reinforcement is great!"

"The positive reinforcement - no abusive methods"

"It was fun and we've bonded with the dog."

"Birdy enjoys training & has found the course very fun.  It has made it a joy for us to work with her at home, too."

"The fun way we were taught to train and all of the valuable information we were given."

"Thank you so much for your time & committment to dogs - a trained dog stands a better chance of reamaining with its family. Without your committment there may be even more "throw away" dogs. Thanks for all you do."

"Was a wonderful experience - look forward to the second session."

"It's amazing how much my "Monster" has developed manners, all because of your course. I would recommend it to everyone!! Thanks so much."

"You defintely know what you are talking about and I love the way you personalize... I like the 'bonus bones'... I much prefer the positive reinforcement training."

"I really enjoyed this course. I think the instructors were the best help we ever had working with Lexus. You can really tell they care about the animals."

"I really appreciate the individualized extra care you have given all of us. It is beyond what we paid for. I have mentioned several times here that it has had a positive effect on my family. For me personally, our work here has elevated my awareness of, sensitivity to & communication with Bella.  My best moment was in training outside one day when the sunshine lit on her face & her brown eyes were just shining with joy because she was involved, feeling connected, using her mind & knowing that she & I understood each other. That was a relationship changing moment for me. Thanks so much!

"This is a great course; we wish we had enrolled our dog sooner. We think it has been very valuable.  Our dog is much more obedient.  It has been a lot of fun to train her!"

"Coast & I loved this class. Traveling 50 minutes each way was well worth it and we are looking forward to Level II!  Thanks so much."

"We are grateful Coltrane was able to be a part of Level 2. His behavior continues to improve which is a great relief considering his size. The classes have prompted our  understanding for the need for ongoing practice, reinforcements & training. Thank you very much!"

"I was very impressed with the organization and teaching! As a teacher myself, I appreciated how well organized & structured the class was."

"We had a wonderful experience & we look forward to future classes. Thank you for the help & information, enthusiasm, consistency & guidance."

"Valuable teachings! I can certainly work better with Buckly now. I feel I have a good foundation and we look forward to taking Level 2."

"Greenwood Dog Training lives up to its reputation. Excellent experience!"

"I enjoyed the class and so did Bear - it was something to look forward to each week. It was rewarding to be able to demonstrate what we practiced at home."

"Very practical application of positive training to real life situations and needs. Good explanation of dog behavior."

"I think you should probably charge more for the class - it's worth it!"

"The class was arranged nicely to be both positive to the dog and handler, providing instruction of exercises that are useful to everyday life. The instructors show a genuine interest in each of their students."

"Greenwood is an excellent program. The classes are well structuredd and the instruction was very personal. We are already looking forward to sophomore year!"
