I trained at Messy for a year and a half with my dog and it was always a great experience. Alex tailored classes to meet the needs of the dogs in attendance, so even if I took a class twice it was always new. She thoughtfully answered any questions I had and helped me develop some training strategies specific to my dog if the "usual" way of training something wasn't catching on. I took both obedience and tricks classes and my dog loved them. My dog still gets excited when we drive past the building even though she moved to Iowa over 6 months ago! More...

We have trained a few of our dogs at Messy Dog. Alex has a lot of knowledge and is very patient with the dogs and people. The positive training method works well . We have earned our AKC CGC through training at Messy Dog. Highly recommend! More...

Fun classes and Alex was wonderful to work with! She was very thorough and made sure to answer any questions anyone had. I was able to teach our young dog basic obedience fairly easy with Alex’s methods. I would recommend anyone looking for a good dog trainer with great classes to go checkout Messy Dog! More...

Ronin had so much fun in this class. He started with fear anxiety and really came around with the help of Alex. She has so much patience and uses different approaches to address issues. It really made a difference in Ronin's life. I will continue to use Messy for all my training :) More...

I have trained dogs for 30 plus years and am really enjoying the clicker class, I am attending with my Pom as well as my daughter and her Boxer. The class is fun for both the dogs and the owners. The instructor is encouraging and has good ideas. Will be attending the next session with my reactive Border Collie More...

As a Certified Veterinary Technician with a special interest in animal behavior, I can't recommend a better set of trainers to work with! Their knowledge in positive, science based training is incomparable to any other trainer I have ever worked with in the Mankato area. There's also something to be said about their patience in working with challenging dogs, and their willingness to accommodate to your dogs needs. Classes offer a solid balance between individualized attention and keeping the class moving at a steady pace. These ladies are down to earth, and willing to teach. I don't forsee myself using any other trainer to work with my pack, and very strongly recommend this business for anyone with a dog! More...

Leia loved the Puppy Star class! Alex was an excellent trainer and the class really helped us learn how best to train our puppy. Totally worth the cost

Alex and Antonia are so accommodating and work hard for you and your dog! My boy Jocko has already made huge improvements taking Obedience 101 and I can’t wait to see what he can do in 201. Class is fun, engaging, and exciting. Homework is clear and easy to follow. We need more trainers who care about science, dogs, and clients! Thanks MESSY! More...

I took the Puppy Experience class with Antonia and the STAR Puppy class with Alex, and they were both great! My puppy learned a lot, and both trainers were awesome and helped with questions I had about things outside of what we worked on in class as well.

Going back for more classes. They teach you to communicate with your dog.

I started my puppy in MESSY's Puppy K class in November. Antonia was the instructor and she was AWESOME! She took the time to stop for questions, and made sure we didn't leave feeling uneasy or confused. Classes are fun and engaging. Antonia and Alex keep a close eye on socializing and play time too - if a puppy was giving signs of insecurity or fear, they made sure to pace things accordingly. Positivity and clicker training has given my puppy a good start, and we are already signed up for our first Obedience class in January with Alex. MESSY knows their stuff! More...
