"The Dog School of Minnesota has been an absolute lifesaver when it came to my dog’s training. I love how I can drop my dog off in the morning and I know that he’s is in a safe and productive environment instead of sitting alone all day. My dog has learned so much since starting and I greatly appreciate how individualized the training is. I initially expressed how my dog was hesitant about being near other dogs and we wanted him to have a safe socialization environment, and weeks later he will now approach and play with dogs of all sizes. At the beginning of training, my dog would not walk at all on a leash. He would cycle between intense pulling and refusing to move. I can now comfortably take my dog on a walk, and I know that this skill will only continue to improve. The training videos they provide are very educational and give me things to work on at home, which is great as a new pet parent who was constantly worrying about if I was teaching my dog in the right way. I would 100% recommend the Dog School of Minnesota to anyone with a dog that needs some help with training!"

"Would you like your dog to reliably sit? Go in their kennel and be quiet when you have company? Not drag you on walks? Come when called? Our dogs learned all this and MUCH, MUCH more at the Dog School of Minnesota. I did a lot of research before choosing a training program and I chose this program because rather than a list of specific skills they want your dog to learn YOU get to decide what should be worked on. Our dogs got individual trainer attention as well as lots of supervised play time in small groups where they could learn how to play appropriately with other dogs. The staff is fantastic to work with and our dogs love them! Highly, highly recommend this program."

"Guinness came in as a 'puppy handful' and left well mannered! All the staff were kind and helpful explaining things thoroughly whenever we had questions, which was a lot lol. We especially loved the flexible hours which made getting there possible living 30-40 min away. Trainers were amazing and helped Guinness to be more comfortable with strangers. Their bright smile and love for my dog always made my day. Thank you all! We love you!"

"Highly recommended for dogs of any age and training level! My dog is a bit reserved around strangers but warmed up to them quickly and learned a lot. They will work with you and your dogs needs. I liked that my dog was getting to interact with other dogs in a structured environment. I may just have to sign him up for another 12 weeks in the future."

"We absolutely *love* the Dog School of Blaine! Our pup, Odin, has grown so much with their support-- his recall actually exists now (he would just run amuck before), he waits for our "okay" before going out the door/saying "hello"/etc, and I no longer feel like I'm the one being walked when he is on a leash. 🙂
The team is kind, patient, and really strives to meet the individual need(s) of each dog (and their pet parents!). The "homework" videos are informational and supportive, and it is so fun to see what Odin learns at school (and how to implement at home). Natalie, Sierra, and Jerry are truly the best of the best and we appreciate them more than words can express."

"They were absolutely amazing. My puppy learned so much in her 12 week program. Very flexible and great at communication. They post lots of videos so you can see what they are working on and it makes it very easy to work on those things at home. I would highly recommend!"

"We had such an excellent experience with Dog School! Our puppy has grown leaps and bounds in her training during her time at the school. The trainers were all very attentive to any additional areas of training that we wanted to work on with her. I would highly recommend them to anyone with a puppy starting obedience or for dogs needing additional training!"

"Exceptional service! Very personal, one on one training along with socializing skills. Very happy to have participated in training with this school. Highly recommend!"
