I have searched the entire area and have asked all my colleagues and friends…..Doggieology 101 came highly recommended and lives up to their reputation. My puppy is great because of their professionalism and their expertise!!! Their programs are the best around. My puppy is calm, obedient, and perfectly mannered. They have the best staff! They are always courteous, friendly, and their philosophy and expertise shines through to all the dogs that have been in their programs. Outstanding!!! Highly recommended!!!

Carla and everyone took in my 4 year old rescue German Shepherd for three weeks because I’d been having problems with him getting along with other pups. He was weird with them and would trigger them on walks and at parks. Carla and her pack helped him learn boundaries with other dogs, and how to better understand what the dogs were messaging to him. She let me know specifics about his personality and how it impacts his play and interaction style. We went over dog body language and how to spot when he causes issues. It was really an amazing experience. Not only did my pup get to learn better how to properly interact with other dogs, I got to learn how to keep my eyes open for indications that he’s being a weirdo again! They consistently sent videos of him playing and having a great time, which was such a peace of mind. I would recommend Doggieology to anyone who needs help with training and understanding their pup. Their depth of knowledge is extraordinary. Worth every penny!!

My Great Dane has been going to Doggieology 101 for training, daycare, and boarding since she was 9 weeks old. We knew we could not have a 130 pound unruly puppy. We did Puppy preschool, puppy elementary, and e-collar training. We learned how to be good leaders for her. We feel comfortable taking her anywhere, anytime. She is easy to walk on or off leash. She is calm and well mannered. She also goes to daycare a few days a week. She absolutely LOVES it! We know she is great hands with the Doggieology crew.

We can’t say enough good things about Doggieology and the entire crew! Such a wonderful and informative program. Our sweet pup was there for a 2 week stay and train, and he is doing great so far afterwords.! I love how they build on your relationship with the dogs and truly build a solid foundation for the future with your pup. I will definitely be recommending Doggieology to anyone in the future.

Carla and her staff did an excellent job training our dog. We did the 2 week stay and train and it was the best decision we have made so far as pet owners. Our little guy is a completely different dog. Much more calm, way better on walks, and no longer jumping. Thank you Carla and team!

Carla and team are the best. She has helped us with multiple pups. Teaching calm and confident leadership. Always so helpful. Her services are worth every penny. She was incredible with my kids coaching them along the way. Great experience. Highly recommend.

We adopted 2 year old Tally-Ho about 9 months ago. She was a terrible leash walker, didn’t listen, bolted any chance she got. When we first brought her home we hired Carla at Doggieology to come and do a one time training in our home. We worked with this skills and Tally made big improvements in behavior. As time went on we knew Tally was having a hard time with people in our home, staying chill, and was always on edge. We opted to do a 2 week board and train with Tally-Ho at Doggieology. It was one of the best decisions we have made not only for us as a family but her life as a dog. She’s calmer, more easy going, and better understands her place in the home. She’s not jumping and chasing the kids, can stay calm/ calmly great guests, walks in follow position, And can hold a down or place command for extended periods. Now that Tally is home and did all her hard work, WE are working hard to ensure her training sticks and she continues to be our incredible loving pup!! Thank you Doggieology for giving us an easier and less stressful life with our dog!

We can’t say enough great things about Carla and her training methods! From the very first session, she demonstrated a deep understanding of our dogs behavior and provided clear, effective techniques that worked wonders for our Snowi in just 1 session.
Carla was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about both my dog’s progress and my confidence as an owner. Whether it was basic obedience, leash training, or behavioral issues, her approach was positive and tailored to our dog’s aggressive behavior. We’ve seen such an improvement from just 1 session.

If you’re looking for a skilled and compassionate trainer, I highly recommend Carla!
