No Monkey Business Dog Training, LLC

My wife and I adopted/rescued a 1.5 year old pit bull female named Ali about two years ago. At only 1.5 years, she was well beyond being a puppy. She already had a litter of puppies and a history of being abused. When we got Ali, she was a rambunctious dog, with a stubborn streak nearly a mile wide. We started our training with Helen at No Monkey Business shortly after getting Ali settled into her new home and once her personality from abuse began to come to the surface. Obedience came pretty quick, but it took some time and work to start to over come some of the deeper issues from her abuse. We've continued to work with Helen, both at her training center and at our home and we're so pleased with how Ali is doing. Her fear and aggression have been reduced significantly, a direct result of suggestions and recommendations by Helen and by us following those suggestions. Helen's guidance, expertise and ability to help us understand the language of canine is beyond words. We can't wait to sign up for our next round of training at NMB. Helen and her team are fabulous, caring, professional, and interactive trainers who listen to not only the dog, but the owners. Training isn't flicking a switch on your dog. It's a process that requires an investment by you, your dog, and your trainer. We encourage anyone who is new to dog ownership or even a seasoned owner to take some classes with Helen and her team. You'll be pleased with the results.

Helen is great at understanding different dogs having different needs. Being an owner of little dogs i believe they should still have the basics. She not only understands small breeds but also is sensitive to how they feel if they are in a class with bigger dogs. She would explain to everyone how they all see things differently. It made me very comfortable and I have no hesitation going back to her again. She is very compassionate about what she does and truely cares for all different types and breeds of animals! Thank you Helen!!

Helen is the best dog trainer in New England hands down. We've worked together with each of my (very different) three dogs to overcome difficult training challenges like fear aggression and managing anxiety. Not only is Helen masterful in understanding dog behavior, but she has an entire tool kit of techniques! She never reverts to force or submission and is focused on reward, timing and partnership. Helen is a true gem and the best of the best!!

The best dog training facility, period. Helen is amazing with my pup. She is also very flexible with scheduling and uses positive reinforcement. This is important to me and my pet.
