The Doghouse, LLC

We boarded our Irish Setter puppy for a three-week training program at The Dog House, and the results have been incredible. From the start, Carrie and Liz made us feel completely at ease, providing regular updates throughout the process. The dog we picked up is not the same one we dropped off! She no longer pulls on the leash, ignores squirrels, and masters "sit" and "stay" with ease. We’ve even been able to let her play off-leash. While we could have tried traditional classes, this was much faster and far more effective than what we’ve seen elsewhere. We highly recommend their training (and they offer great standard boarding, too!).

We cannot recommend The Doghouse, LLC highly enough! Last year, we enrolled both of our dogs - Scooby, a 2-year-old chocolate lab, and Law, a 6.5-year-old golden retriever - in their board and train program, and the transformation has been absolutely incredible. Before training, both dogs were nightmares on a leash. Scooby would get distracted and pull me down the street trying to visit with another dog, and Law is so strong I simply couldn't control him. They'd also jump all over anyone who came into our house. Now? Both of my 85-pound dogs walk amazingly on leash, and I can handle them together by myself! They've mastered commands like "place," where they stay put until everyone is settled in the house. I honestly didn't think this level of improvement was possible, especially with Law being older, but Liz and Carrie proved me wrong. :) The communication throughout the program was exceptional. Liz and Carrie kept us regularly updated on the training progress and were incredibly responsive to any questions we had. Our dogs had so much fun during the program and absolutely loved both trainers! Their knowledge and expertise are truly impressive - they know exactly how to work with each dog's unique personality and challenges. Scooby graduated about 6 months ago and Law about 3 months ago, and the results have lasted because Liz and Carrie also taught US how to maintain the training. Consistency is key, and they made sure we had all the tools to carry their work forward. I also want to give a shout-out to the entire team at The Doghouse. From Jordan in the office to everyone helping care for and feed the pups, it's clear this place runs smoothly because of dedicated, caring staff all around. If you're looking for professional, effective dog training that delivers real, lasting results, The Doghouse is absolutely worth it!

Our chihuahua mix, Libby, thrived in her training at The Dog House, LLC. She went from a timid, highly anxious dog to a calm and confident girl! She completed the three week training and Saturday sessions which helped us as much as it did her. The Dogs to Diapers videos were beneficial to refresh all we learned in preparing her for a new baby. She has exceeded expectations and it wouldn’t have been possible without Carrie, Liz, and the wonderful staff! Thanks for all you do!

My husband and I adopted Katherine (Kat) a 6 month Catahoula mix. She was joining a pack of three senior dogs and we wanted to make sure she was trained well and fit in with our other rescue dogs. Knowing her breed needs a lot of exercise and wanting to take her everywhere with us, my husband and I did a ton of research and found The Dog House LLC. Kat went to the three week Distractions Program and was trained both on and off leash for maximum flexibility for future adventures. I cannot express enough how wonderful the experience was. Both Liz and Carrie are amazing trainers. They truly care about a personalized approach to training to ensure every dog receives the right pathway for success. Not only were Carrie and Liz amazing to work with Kat absolutely loves them. Every time she sees they she lights up. Since graduation Kat has been on many adventures and specifically loves the beach and swimming. Her training has allowed her to be off leash safely with an electric collar which has provided her ample opportunities to exercise and enjoy nature. The extensive training, her recall abilities and the collar saved us when she got spooked by a stranger and took off. She recalled and sat as she was trained without incident. Sending Kat to the Dog House LLC was the best decision we’ve made for her. Five stars isn’t enough!

I can't say enough good things about The Doghouse! We put our 3 year old pit/staff mix and 8 month old JRT in the distraction program and we couldn't be happier with the results! From our initial consultation and evaluation, to each training session and drop off, we felt informed and supported. Carrie and Liz are incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and communicative. They took such great care of our babies and truly cared about their development. Thank you so much!
