All About Dogs

Karen made this class so unbearable. Was not a fun class for me, my puppy, and other dog parents. She yells and criticizes, is demeaning, and will embarass you. I felt like a wicked step-mom was bullying me every class, and I did take the classes seriously, respected protocol, etc. I just couldn't understand what her problem was and by the last class, I was just fed up. I had another dog mom come up to me after class and apologize for how Karen attacked me. Karen lost it when she found out my dog was pee pad trained. Karen has no idea what my circumstances are, and what my personal needs are, etc. Even so, it's one thing to provide suggestions, and it's another to berate someone publicly, and so embarrassingly.I spoke to the manager directly after finishing my class, and before posting this Google review, because I support small businesses and thought this is Karen's fault, not necessarily the school. The owner was very apologetic, but offered no consolation, other than emailing me some training materials. I was fine with that, but she never sent me that email, and I'm quite disturbed by how this school treats their customers.If you have a puppy and want general obedience classes that will be fun and dog-social, do NOT go here. I've been going to PetSmart classes since and am having a great time. We learn many more commands, the class is laid back and fun, it's more cost effective, and the dogs get lots of love from the trainers. The trainers also encourage my puppy to socialize with the other dogs before and after the class, which is a big NO at this school, and exactly what I was looking for.

Walter and I have been having a blast here! When we pull into the driveway he starts to whine out of excitement! He loves to train!! Renee is an incredible trainer and she’s very patient! She has really helped my dog and I build our relationship in such a positive way! I always recommend this place to clients with dogs having low confidence or dogs with lots of energy! ♥️

All About Dogs has literally changed my life, made me a better dog mama and given me a new activity the enriches me in so many ways! Renee and team have taken my two, very different pups from obedience to agility with patience and compassion and love. The positive reinforcement of dogs (and owners too) has educated me and helped strengthen our already strong bonds. One of our dogs was a shy pup who hid under the sofa....now she trots around the agility course with joy and confidence. We are all so happy that All About Dogs is in our lives! Thanks Renee, Brittany and team!

Had a great time here! Took my rescue to Never Too Late and it gave us a great foundation for our first summer together. The training is really positive and clear. Will be coming back for more :)

Great place. Took our dog there for the Never Too Late classes and the instructor, Karen, was very knowledgeable and helpful.

It sounds cheesy but All About Dogs literally changed my life. I had a 5 year old border collie who was afraid to go out and do pretty much anything. I had never done dog sports but I heard Agility was good for border collies. Now she’s 9 and happy and healthy and competes in agility all over the province. We have an amazing connection now and she feels safe with me. Classes at All About Dogs helped me meet the dog she was always meant to be.

I am a bit of a dog know-it-all, so I was very hesitant to go to a professional trainer.Our trainer was Karen and she was fantastic. Very knowledgeable about dogs and cares sincerely about the dog and the owner being happy, not just blindly obedient for no reason.Their masking policy makes me feel safe and I'm happy to support a business that acknowledges immunocompromised people have dogs too.

We took the beginners agility and our instructor Karen was FANTASTIC! Clear and concise instructions and Frankie (my dog) was mentally challenged and had fun! Great place!

We have taken our nervous white german shepherd through several levels of agility at All About Dogs. The experience has been amazing with Renee and her team devising all kinds of ways to help Luna get around her fears, and rewarding to watch her gain confidence. Scaling the A frame is her biggest accomplishment so far - taking weeks to achieve. Highly recommended.
