"100% the best thing I could’ve done for myself and for my dog. Really opened up a line of communication that I never had with him. He now respects me and will actually listen and do what I tell him. I don’t have to worry about taking him anywhere I want to go now. It has seriously changed my life, and I would recommend this for anyone struggling with their dog!"

"These trainers are fantastic! The training is tailored to your goals you want to accomplish with your dog. We started each lesson reviewing progress for the past week. The trainers discuss/demonstrate ways to attack training obstacles. The training is modified based on the dog's behavior. I would highly recommend these trainers."

"We have been training with Patrick and Anna for nearly a year, starting when our dog was a young puppy. The training has helped us get started on the right foot with our new puppy and work through the challenges of our dog’s first year. Patrick and Anna are fun and easy to work with during our training sessions. We have benefited from their individual sessions, group sessions, CGC preparation and testing. Highly recommend to new dog owners or those looking to improve their relationship with their dog."

"Patrick and Anna are wonderful to work with. Saw improvement right away but always willing to take my questions- and there are MANY- between sessions. Offer suggestions to help meet our goals. Flexible with scheduling. Explains why we do things a certain way. All in all just grateful to be working with them!"

"Both Anna and Pat were great with my dogs! I have two rescue dogs, one of which is reactive to other dogs. They were able to help eliminate unwanted behaviors such as pulling on the leash and potty training, as well as teach them new commands. I’m also able to walk past other dogs without my reactive dog barking, pulling, or jumping at another dog."

"The team at The Distracted Dog has completely transformed our dogs and our lives. We have taken both of our dogs to them for help with general training but mainly reactivity to other dogs and people. After doing the 10 week course, we have much deeper understanding of our dogs, how to handle them, and a deeper bond with them. They are completely different dogs from who they were prior.
The Distracted Dog took the time to listen to all of our concerns, create a training plan, check in with us every step of the way, and went above and beyond to make sure all of our needs and our dog’s needs have been met. We even re-enrolled our first dog into a level 2 class with them!
The lessons and training taught are more than worth it. You have to do the homework and provide feedback to get the most out of the courses they offer. You get out of it what you put into it!"
