My GSD Duke went through the full service training program. I found him on the Howard Franklin bridge malnourished and covered in scabs. It was a miracle we were able to save him with the high speed traffic. He was a very scared and reactive dog. I have always just trained the dogs myself, but I needed help with him. I never believed a board and train would work so well, but I had tried classes, buying hourly training and none of it worked, I know it had to be intensive. I decided on the doghouse after hours spent meeting with different trainers for different programs. It was the pricier option, but it felt like they actually liked what they were doing and didn’t act scared around the now 100lb GSD. Sam did a great job. Duke is now very well behaved on and off leash and was a new dog after training. Plus they did a great job of teaching me and continue to help. The best is I also now know he is in great hands if I ever have to board him. I highly recommend this program for any dog!!! More...

The trainers did a very thorough assessment of my German Shepherd to determine what kind of training she will benefit from based on the behavior issues I was having with her. First was a meet and greet with the trainers that took several hours. They wanted to evaluate her further and asked me to bring her back on Monday and they wanted her to board with them for further evaluation for 24 hours. I made a decision to board her for 4 more days so she can become comfortable with all the staff that will be assisting in her training. I got updated daily and during those four days Maggie went from a skiddish/uncomfortable Dog of other humans to a dog that let the trainers leash her and go outside on command to play and do her business She is now prepared for her upcoming training for 3 weeks without me and I am 100% certain after seeing her social skills improve during boarding time that I have definitely made the right choice for Maggie's training and am Super excited for the both of us. Thanks Carrie, Joshua and the staff at The Doghouse for your skill, expertise and patience for having already made a difference in Maggie and the best is yet to come.. ‍♀️ More...

I cannot say enough amazing things about Carrie and her team at The Doghouse! With time and love, she watched after our Molly and trained her to be an even better version of herself than I could’ve ever imagined! With having two young children, having Molly as an eight-month-old puppy fully trained and obedient was the biggest blessing. Her communication throughout the whole process kept us connected, and our transition lessons were extremely helpful and thorough. We have a toolbox of helpful resources now to keep up with everything Molly has learned. ♥️ More...

We left our beautiful miniature dachshund at the Dog House for a week recently.  We were nervous as we had a mediocre experience at a different place a few months ago.  We were thrilled to pick our puppy up and see that he was (and still is) happy and healthy.  The folks here took really good care of our pup.  We had some confidence that all would be ok because everyone we met, on the phone and in person, was very nice.  Was till a bit nervous anyway.  Our dog is a very important part of our family and we're thankful we found a place and people we can trust to leave him with when we travel.

Let me start by saying that the The Dog House gave us back the most amazing dog we never thought was possible! Let me explain. So I decided to bring home a German Shepherd puppy to my wife and 3 boys, thinking I found the perfect family dog that could grow large and strong to play with my 3 rambunctious boys. I've had many dogs in the past and never had trouble training any of them. I figured this experience would be no different. Fast forward a year and I realized I was WAY in over my head. Isabella was and is a very sweet dog, but was completely uncontrollable in every aspect of life. I simply could not train her to be the family dog I had dreamed of. She was destructive, hyperactive, and unpredictable. I can go on and on. Enter The Dog House. We handed them Bella, after an extensive intake process and three weeks later, she came home a happy, well-adjusted dog. She now, heels, goes to her "place", stays, and anything else you can think of. They taught us how to speak her language. They came to our house and even my office to do home training to tailor her to our needs. We now literally have the dog I had dreamed of. Not only are we happy but Bella is also so much happier! If your looking for a trainer, this is the real deal! Look no further and put your faith into Carrie and Sam! More...

We can’t thank Carrie, Sam, or the rest of the staff at the Doghouse enough. Before sending our 1 year old female Doberman here, she would pull on walks, was highly reactive toward other dogs (including our other dog sometimes), and just didn’t listen to commands when any distractions were around. It became unpleasant to take her outside and wasn’t any better inside because we always had to keep her separated from our other dog. After three weeks for the socialization training, she’s awesome at heeling where we get compliments often and were even asked if we’re dog trainers lol, she has learned to not react toward other dogs and we are able to communicate what we want her to do. We’re able to set boundaries in the house where the problems we had before with our other dog isn’t happening anymore (we’re still very careful with this since we just got her back recently). The fence line aggression between her and the neighbors dogs hasn’t happened since she got back. Sam was awesome and updated us with pics and videos showing what our dog was capable of, that seemed impossible before. During the transition sessions, Sam would always have answers to any questions we had and enhanced our confidence and ability to handle our dog in any environment. We can’t wait to get back every month to continue and refresh our training. If you have problems with anything from obedience to aggression, I’d stop wasting time looking for competent trainers and go to the Doghouse. There was a little waiting period so try to be proactive about getting help. I’ve never left a review on google before, but this deserves our time and effort for the results we received with our dog.

Your dog will be in the best hands!!

I gave Carrie and Sam a wild and disobedient 7 month old GSD Puppy and in 3 weeks they transformed her into a loyal companion. My friends make fun of my “circus animal” now because I am constantly putting her level of obedience on display. I’m now able to take my dog anywhere, and she is never a hassle. If we eat outside, she lays down under the table without begging or bothering other tables. She stays put when other people come to pet her or other dogs walk by. She doesn’t rush the door when I let someone in my house, and she no longer jumps on furniture or people when greeting them. Having an obedient and well trained dog has allowed me to bring her places I never would have considered before. A few concerns I had going into this was that my dog would only take commands from Doghouse trainers or become more disobedient over time. It has now been a few months since her training and the degree of obedience hasn’t changed, and she listens to me more than anybody else. I am very satisfied, and I am looking forward to many many years of love from my loyal best friend. More...

The people at The Doghouse have worked with my dogs and I for years and during that time they have earned (and deserve) more respect and praise from me than I can convey in this review. From basic obedience to advanced work my dogs and I have both learned well from the expertise that is offered here. Carrie & Sam provide skilled, compassionate, instruction that comes from training dogs day in and day out. Even boarding my dogs here has been a beneficial experience for all involved as the dogs enjoy the time spent with furry friends and I enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing my dogs are well taken care of. It's difficult to accurately convey the level of service that is available to dog owners looking to better their relationship with their canine companions, suffice it to say that it is second to none here. I can attest to this, as would my dogs if they were better able to, and don't give it a second thought to contact them when I need to find help with whatever dog problems I run into. My dogs are better behaved, more well-adjusted and able to be part of society thanks to the Doghouse. If you're reading this wondering if The Doghouse is the place to go for the betterment of your dog, and your relationship with him or her, you really don't need to think much more about it. Take your dog to The Doghouse and you'll understand why this place has reputation for excellence. More...

I was so hesitant to be apart from her for those weeks, but witnessing her new skill set while being my same happy, affectionate girl was worth every day of missing her. I’m a more confident dog mom, she has reliable manners, and my family with 3 young children have the best dog ever thanks to their expertise and ongoing support! Thank you so much Carrie and Sam!

I would recommend The Doghouse to anyone - for training or boarding - as we've used both services.

We have a challenging GSD named Brisby. She's afraid of everything, and responds by barking, which makes her terrifying to other people. We also had a baby on the way and wanted to make sure she had the basics down. After meeting our dog, Carrie recommended a month of in-depth socialization training. It was not only the best thing we've done for our dog, but also the best thing we did to prepare for our baby, who is now five months old.

Brisby spent one month at their facility with trainer Samantha. We were given updates and pictures constantly, which made her time away a bit easier. The final week, we were integrated back in to the training and taught alongside her. Sam is great and we truly appreciate everything she did for us and Brisby.

Our dog came back more confident and, though they couldn't remove her fear entirely, now knows how to respond when she's nervous or scared. They also taught us how to help her. The "Place" command has been invaluable, both for the dog's sanity and ours.

TLDR - They are fantastic: the facility is clean, the dogs are well cared for, and they truly know what they are doing. I can't recommend them enough.

My wife and I currently have two dogs that were fully trained at The Doghouse and two that have been through brief sessions there. They are the most well behaved dogs I have ever had, and I've had a mess of dogs. I've always had reservations and heard horror stories about having someone train my dogs and now realize just how wrong I was. This is so not the case here. The Doghouse staff is very professional and has many accomplishments to be proud of. They treat your dog like family and you with respect. Four years ago, I drove two hours to drop of my crazy six month old German Shepherd pup for a two week training session. Two weeks later I picked up a very well behaved young dog with solid commands and an awesome temperament. Our Golden retriever went though the same training program as well, with the same results. I knew they were very well taken care of by how happy they appeared in the videos I was sent showing their progress. (That and the fact they weren't sure if they wanted to leave) Our rescue (German Shepherd) had some fear/aggression issues which were easily corrected by Carrie working with us for a couple hours, showing me the proper way to go about socializing a dog in her condition.I have and will recommend Carrie and her staff to anyone, for pretty much any type of training imaginable.

It has been six weeks since our now 7-month old German Shorthaired Pointer completed her Foundations training with Carrie. We dropped off a high energy puppy that ruled our world meaning, we had NO control. The transformation wasn't to her energy, personality, or spirit with just three weeks of training, our dog now understands the language we speak. Our words matter! Think about it for a minute – how does your life and interaction with your dog change if they really understand most everything you ask them to do and they do it? It isn’t insignificant, it is major. We can take her anywhere with us and it is enjoyable for her and us. We no longer worry about her getting away from us and running into the street. Friends can come over without being mauled at the door. We can hold the door open as we carry in the groceries with no worries that she will run out that door. She knows that her teeth are never allowed to touch human skin (we are still healing from puppy teeth wounds!). We can take her to parks and know that when we call her to us – she will drop everything to run to us.

Like every other review out here, Carrie worked wonders on our spoilt gsd. We tried every other training out there, even so called certified ones.

We enjoy showing off now when we do walk or training sessions in public. Carrie was recommend by k9 police officers and once we saw her site and YouTube videos we knew why. She's awesome with dog and human training and makes sure you "get it" before transitioning the dog. She even came to our apartment to give some pointers for in house training which is way beyond what anyone does. If u r on the fence about training, don't wait..Nothing is worth an accident from an untrained dog and the risk of having a dog taken away, or worse. Just watch the doghouse channel on YouTube for examples of how dogs progress over the weeks. It really works. No camera tricks. More...
