A Few of Our Facebook Reviews

I cannot begin to describe how amazing Chelsea and her partner Phelan are!! PUPS saved my dog Dino! We were at wits end with his territorial aggression in the house when we had visitors and his leash reaction out on walks. Dino stayed for 3 weeks (Save My Dog program) and he is a COMPLETELY different dog. They did a great job teaching us to use tools and implementing structure everyday for him. I appreciate PUPS so much!! Thank you for everything!

Great session, I highly recommend! For the first time in months I have hope that my dog can be trained. He’s a nervous and reactive dog with a bite history – but now I have the tools and knowledge to work with him. Watching Chelsea walk him at the end of our session brought tears to my eyes – no one has been able to get near this dog since I brought him home from the shelter! Not only is she good with dogs, but she is great with thier owners as well – I now know that even when I thought I was calming and reassuring my dog, I was actually doing the opposite. I am amazed at the difference a few commands and structure can make!

Our Australian Shepard, Blue completed a three week board and train a week ago with Chelsea!

She is amazing and does such great work!

We got Blue when he was 8 weeks old and started working with him from day one. He never seemed afraid of anyone, he just didn’t care about anyone outside of our LARGE family!

He was well socialized and was exposed to everything! We worked with purely positive training and thought we could work him through anything with praise, redirection and lots of conditioning!

As time went on he became reactive towards people, especially children. Even though we have five of our own and he showed no aggression to them. He also was very nippy and would nip us in the face when excited!

Blue ended up biting one adult and nipped at several children! He never broke skin, but we knew if we didn’t find a solution soon we would have to rehome him.

I saw a friend who posted about PUPS and the tools she uses to help rehab and train them. This opened my mind to balanced training! I learned that rewarding the behavior you want and correcting the behavior you don’t want gives a clear message to the dog and helps them to feel more confident.

Also having structure for your dogs, makes life much easier for you and your dogs. 

Not only is Chelsea training the dogs, she is training us, as the owner, how to be successful at home after she has put in the time to create a foundation for the dogs!  She gave me a lot of resources to watch and read so I would know how to continue the work she has done. 

While Blue was away, we were able to see updates and videos of his progress!  Since having him back we have seen such a big difference!  He is no longer reactive when people come to our house.  He is able to politely greet them and then go back to place or free roam depending the situation.  His obedience is amazing, Chelsea was able to get him to a level in his obedience commands that I wasn’t able to do in the nine months I had been working with him! 

I recommend Chelsea to anyone struggling with a reactive dog or someone just wanting to start off with balanced training and give their dog clear expectations.

They were awesome to work with! We had one pup stay for a one week board and train and another pup have three one hour sessions. The one hour sessions were filled with a lot of hands on work, which was very helpful.

We received updates throughout the week board and train, which were also nice to receive. The progression videos on the Facebook page were helpful to watch as well.

They were very accommodating with our schedule and strived to make sure all points we wanted to work on were covered throughout the training sessions.

We highly recommend this trainer!

PUPS truly saved my dog and I wish we had gone sooner!! We did a one hour training to work on my dog’s reactive/aggressive behavior towards other dogs and she is like a new dog! I learned how to use the new tools and communicate with my dog. We now walk daily without me being pulled or her lunging at other dogs. we now have peace. I cant recommend PUPS enough!

We could not be happier with our decision to send our 2 y/o pittie mix, Mac, to PUPS for a 3 week board and train!!!

He hasn’t even been home for a week and the structure and tools implemented have transformed our whole relationship and dynamic in the most positive way.

I used to sometimes dread getting home from a day of work and having to walk him with his reactive behavior.

Now, I get so excited to let him out of his kennel so we can go for a walk! His whole world has opened up and we are so excited to continue working with him and giving him so many more experiences. Thank you Chelsea and PUPS!

This is Mac.

We love PUPS! Our Rottweiler puppy was starting to show aggression and possessiveness over bones and toys, and we needed him to be safe to be around our 5 year old. We learned that our pup thrives on learning and we are in a much better place now! We use the tools and commands at home and keep up all the progress that was made during his Bootcamp at PUPS. We have also boarded our dog with PUPS while taking a long weekend vaca. It was a great way for him to get some extra training in!

I cant say enough good about PUPS

Our girl Gretta was out of control with just about everything. Pulling hard on leash mouthing very heavily ,jumping no self control. I was on the fence as to keep her or not. In one week she stayed for the give me peace class and learned soo much.
i could now walk her loose leash holding it only with a few fingers. I was taught how to communicate with her using voice and e collar and prong collar. She goes to day care one day a week that is a brush on skills and play time with other dogs.
PUPS is the reason we still have her.

The last week we have been walking off leash and she gets an A+ on recall so our 100-lb, 7-month-old German Shepherd is happy and well behaved. All Thanks to the great work done here.
