Been going to The Dog Spot for a year and a half now for agility. Our dogs start going crazy as soon as we turn on the street. We love LeAnn and Grace as agility instructors. Recently we started trieball and soon scent work.

What a wonderful team at The Dogs Spot! My dog loves this place. He is so excited when we pull up and can’t wait to get out of the car. Excellent trainers that provide personalized instruction. Very professional staff. I recommended the trainers to my neighbor for his reactive dog and he has had amazing results. The agility classes are top notch! LeAnn and Grace are fantastic and supportive at competition. Can’t imagine going anywhere else. So thankful I found them.

With surviving adolescents and canine good citizen courses completed I've decided that the convenience of the dog spots location really isn't a very good reason for us to continue training there anymore. I will say they have a nice facility and I did accomplish socializing my Dogo Argentino in a very safe controlled environment. I picked up more usable information in our puppy class than I did in CGC. I will say that lecture time in surviving adolescents seemed long and a lot less interactive than you would expect. It was in this first course where I was sold a harness for my mastiff puppy at 5 months old under a completely false statement. They promoted a trade in program where you get a XL adult size for free when he grew out of a smaller size if I purchased a balance harness. I had no interest in getting one previously since I was fully aware he was going to outgrow it in months if not weeks. When we showed up for the CGC class a couple months later, he had doubled in size and I was told they wouldn't uphold the statement anymore. Put a fairly bad business taste in ones mouth to say the least. I get things change, but not upholding sales that have already been made to clients just comes off bad. My recommendation on the CGC course would be to go ahead and skip it. Unless you are like me trying to use the class for socializing which I also don't recommend at this point. You are spending thirty plus bucks a class for something you can just watch on you-tube. The first red flag was the newbie trainer. Dude is teaching an AKC class but you doesn't know what conformation is! SMH... 6 classes and almost all of them in the last 20 minutes the trainers had no curriculum left and wanted to know what we wanted to do. I don't know that I learned a single thing in the class except the 10 skills you needed to pass the test which as stated before can be watched for free. Definitely did not learn the one thing that was gonna fail him! lol At the end of the course 3 of the 6 dogs tested. The 2 other dogs passed and mine did not.  The handler let my boy wander up and mark a wall during the 3 minute duration I was away, which is an immediate dq. Understandable. Unfortunately, the start of the test was literally the first time anyone had ever mentioned marking at all. Learning by FAILURE is the lesson plan apparently! I'm happy for the other 2 dog owners for passing but the reality is not one dog there would actually pass legitimately. It comes off extremely subjective when you pass a dog that won't recall or down but fail another because the handler lets him pee on a wall. I'll leave a pic of his test sheet. It just shows him passing everything which if I'm honest is a complete fabrication and shows just how watered down the program really is. He should have never passed. At least he stay's and recalls! As stated this is a great facility, they have very nice people. I just can't honestly say I would recommend them at this point.
