Chesapeake Dog Training, LLC

I have a 10 month old Chesapeake Bay retriever who suddenly became frightened of “disembodied noise”. A dumpster being dropped or the loud noise coming from somewhere a block away would unnerve my dog. Kensey was so frightened that she would go outside only to do her business and then run back into the house. When Linda arrived and tried to take her for a walk, Kensey went down and did an “alligator roll” and refused to stand up. Kensey’s teeth were chattering and she was shaking all over. Linda looked at me and I said “I told you so!” Today, Kensey is able to go outside by herself and walk around the yard, and she looks forward to her daily walks. She tries her best to face her fears and she improves a little every day. I call her my “brave little girl”. Without Linda’s keen insight and training skills, this wonderful transition would have never taken place. I certainly had no idea how to help my dog overcome her fear of noise. Thank you, Linda!

What an amazing trainer! Truly a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend Linda to train or board your dog. She is professional, kind & will amaze you with her training capabilities. We sent our 1yr old lab puppy to work with Linda for two weeks, & our dog has come back to us with an unbelievable amount of obedience training. The best advice I can give any dog owner is to send their dog to Linda, trust her knowledge (as she knows what she's doing) & follow Linda's after care instructions (which she gave us verbally, but she also gave us instructions in writing/hard copy so we have something to refer back to if need be). Oh, also, regarding price, for what she does, her pricing is extremely reasonable. Don't make the mistake we did and go to the cheapest place you can find. We did that first and might as well flushed our money down the drain. I wish we had gone with Linda from the beginning. She has earned our business for life! Thank you Linda! Fondly, Ali

I can't say enough good things about Chesapeake Dog Training. Our Trainer, E, was Amazing. We had adopted a female Lab mix from the local SPCA and although we had a small 12 pound mixed terrier already we wanted to make sure we started out on the right foot with the larger dog. E was fantastic at helping us learn how to connect with the dog and two months on from picking up a lively 4 month old puppy from the shelter we have a great dog that can sit and go down on command and walks to heel around the neighborhood without distraction. E's style of teaching is calm and informative and she is a delight to work with. From easy scheduling to a meeting in a variety of different training environments she was always extremely friendly, helpful and identified many character traits of our new and older dog that would have taken us much longer to find out without the training. We now feel infinitely more confident to be in a variety of situations with both of our dogs and have the tools to make sure we are always in control. I thoroughly recommend Chesapeake Dog Training for anyone thinking of getting a dog and wants to start out on the right foot or that has a dog already and want help with obedience training. It is worth every penny with Chesapeake Dog Training!!

Wonderful trainers with a wealth of experience. I took a group Good Citizen Dog class and was amazed at all the different suggestions and strategies utilized for each dog. Professional and skilled! I highly recommend CDT.

I absolutely recommend the trainers at Chesapeake Dog Training to anyone that is looking for dog training from some wonderful trainers on a personal level. We rescued a one year-old Weimeraner. Tessa was a fantastic dog, full of love, but also full of energy and without any training. It was a chore to walk her, and our arms/shoulders would ache from how hard she pulled on the leash. I have no idea what we would have done if we had not found E, our trainer from Chesapeake Dog Training. In just one session, E had Tessa much more under control and we were able to work with Tessa and teach her how to behave. The one-on-one, private sessions were fantastic for us. E was very flexible, worked around our schedules, and handled the lessons in a terrific fashion. With each lesson, E would provide new skills for us to work on with Tessa, then send us home with a detailed, personalized assignment sheet of "homework" and skills to practice outside the lessons. 6 weeks later it's like we have a totally different dog. She's still fun, loving and full of energy. But she is brilliantly trained on the leash and much more fun to be with in outdoor settings. We can't thank the trainers at Chesapeake Dog Training enough and would recommend them to anyone. Thanks E!
