Our 6 month old pug puppy, Louie, just completed his week of life skills training with Debra last week. Debra was great with Louie and we all learned so much from her about training him. I was amazed at how much Louie has learned. Debra is so professional, knowledgeable, talented, and kind with dog training. We met with her three times a week at the end of the day to learn and practice the skills she taught Louie. So happy that we brought Louie here. We highly recommend Debra for training!

Our Golden Retriever Gretl completed her Puppy Head Start Training today. Under Debra’s guidance and expertise we have a well behaved puppy with many new skills. Debra trained our last Golden 11 years ago. We were so excited when we saw she was training at The Range Pet Lodge. Not only did Debra show great patience with Gretl but myself as well. She gave me support and encouragement along the way. I highly recommend Debra and The Lodge. Thank you so much Debra! Rosemary

Our 10 month old mini golden doodle, Daisy, just completed Life Skills Training with Deb. Daisy loved going to her week of training and learned how to be a better behaved teenage puppy. We have noticed a real difference in her behavior at home. We highly recommend Deb and this facility for training as well as Daycare.

Our two one-year old golden retrievers, Teddy and Blue were in for Life Skills training with Debra last week. She was wonderful with our two boys and gave us really helpful instruction and handouts for practicing and carrying on with the training at home. They were both pulling on the leash and were very difficult to walk. Debra gave us practical guidance on how to correct this behavior and in 5 days' time, they are doing so much better! She also gave us really helpful behavior tips and has such a calm, kind and firm demeanor that our dogs really responded to. We are trying to practice all of her pointers at home, so that our dogs will be not only the sweetest boys around (which they already are) but also the best behaved : ))
