Spirit Ranch Dog Training

Great place and great Trainers! Had a private session with our daughter in loves service dog and our boxer! The service dog had a bad experience with another boxer and became upset around boxers! Since we had a boxer and visit them quite often, we needed to make sure they enjoyed each other and to make life a little easier when we would visit! So the Trainer thought it would help both dogs and ourselves out, if they trained together! She was so patient and kind with both of the dogs and taught us a lot! If you are looking for a great place to train your dog to obey or train your dog to be a Service Dog this is the place! Our dogs love to get together!

Let's talk about how amazing these people are for a moment... they train using positive reinforcement and we have seen a complete change in our puppy. I would not take Kane anywhere else. Amy (the owner) and Megan have far exceeded our expectations with training. We also take Kane to them for doggy daycare and puppy socialization. We highly recommend them!

We are presently going here and we love it! Spirit uses respect and positive reinforcement as the primary motivators for training (at basic levels). We previously tried a competitor, & I didn’t like Tip Top because of the shock collar. My dogs didn’t understand why they were getting shocked (negative reinforcement) and ended up not wanting to do normal things like go outside because they affiliated being outside in their own backyard with training (getting shocked). If you have a praise or food motivated pup, and unless your dog is going to hurt themselves like run out in the street or chase cars, positive reinforcement and Spirit Ranch is absolutely the way to go. We have also used Spirit Ranch for in-Home dog sitting while we’re out of town. With our 3 dogs, this is ideal. Spirit Ranch does background checks on all their sitters, & has a strict set of rules for them to abide by which management enforced with surprise visits. Before the sitter comes to stay, he/she will come by for an intro to make sure your pups know and are comfortable with them. Spirit Ranch also asks for a wealth of detailed instruction and health information, which I appreciate. I have the utmost confidence that Spirit Ranch prioritizes my pups’ safety and comfort and my peace of mind, above all else, in all things they do.

I highly recommend Amy and the Spirit Ranch staff. Our experience with training our daughter’s rescue dog through all the various stages of certification to becoming her service dog has been pleasant and very positive. While professional, Amy and her staff are friendly and caring and are invested in making sure both the dog as well as the owner are being fully equipped and prepared through the training and classes.

I would definitely recommend Spirit Ranch to anyone. Amy has worked wonders for numerous dogs in our family. She and the staff work so well with our dogs and get a firm grasp of each animal's situation and how it's affecting behavior. I think that's why they really have a way with our dogs.
