Narnia Pet Behavior & Training

Love this place! We saw tons of positive behavior changes in every dog in our class, and they all have different personalities and things to work on but in a short 6 weeks everyone learned so much and had a great time! Our dog was so happy to go every time and we learned so much about what he needs and how to train positively. Would recommend to anyone with a dog at any age!

I had a disappointing experience. I normally write good reviews. I went to them based on friends recommendations. I paid for a private lesson for basic obedience for a puppy I had rescued. The instructor gave almost too much information, rushing through it, making it hard to focus on specific skills. She didn’t ask me any questions about what I wanted. She also said “ you’ve never had a dog before” - ( not true - assuming) also making statements about the dog like she was an expert when we had only been there a few minutes. This specific trainer seemed to be lacking in listening skills and seemed almost annoyed. By the end of the lesson I felt I’d learned very little and wasted my money. I would use them again but not for private lesson.

Took my puppy Rottweiler to the puppy kindergarten and the continued class. Overall the first class was pretty good and contained a lot of tricks and learning methods I was able to apply to my dog well. The second class is where things went downhill. A lot of the times the trainer (older woman) would be repeating and teaching the same basic commands such as stay or recall. Barely any new information was learned from this continued class and I almost started to feel like she would just drag the class on to make it past the hour of training. Overall would not recommend. The trainer would even tell stories of times where she couldn’t even control or soothe her own dog.

We have taken our dog here for two behavior training sessions, Beginning Obedience and Manners & Self-Control. For the first class, we craved help in communicating with our puppy and learning how to train. The instructors were incredibly helpful with presenting information to the group, and with providing one-on-one help. When we were ready to go to the next level, Manners & Self-Control helped us tackle more significant behaviors like leash training and interacting with house guests. Again, we were able to receive individual help with our questions, in addition to the group training being very useful. I like the group training format, where I can work with my dog and not feel scrutinized by the instructors, but also receive feedback occasionally as they walk by. I never felt put on the spot or uncomfortable in class, but free to work with my dog and his needs. With both classes, we felt like we were connecting with our dog better, that he was being more affectionate with and responsive to us, and we now feel more confident and optimistic as dog owners. We are considering more classes in the future to keep working on our dog's training. One night, I was worried about the roads si

We went to beginner obedience class with our 10 week old puppy and was asked to leave after the first couple of minutes due to our dog being very scared of others in the class. They recommended one on one training to relieve the timidness with hopes to enroll in the obedience class after completing one in one. We did pursue the one on one training, it was an hour and 30 minute session in the back office that contained about 90% discussion on his emotions and only 10% training methods/actions. All information was helpful however it was our understanding that one on one training would be more corrective action based instead of how to analyze our dogs emotions. The trainer was informative, but for the price we expected more direct training. When we left, the trainer provided more information to research various training methods instead of physically showing us how to correct/calm our puppy. We felt as if all of this information was already available online and would not recommend one on one training. Unfortunately after a few weeks, none of the methods we discussed in our one in one session have helped calm him down when he becomes stressed and looking elsewhere.
