Wow and thank you so much!! In just 2 short weeks, my girl learned so much! But even more than the sits, downs and having her attention, general home life is so much improved. The socialization and training has made a world of difference with her and I'm so grateful. Trainer Debra is so amazing working with young dogs,,, this is actually my 3rd whippet over the years that she has helped with. Again, thank you so much and keep up the great work! Your talent and connection with our 4-legged babies is so appreciated!

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!

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 : ))

We are first time dog owners and have 3 small children at home. Our 4 month old Goldendoodle has been such fantastic addition to our family but with our minimal dog experience wanted to get him started off in the right direction to being a really GREAT dog. Before he started the Puppy Head Start training program he would nip, jump, pull on his leash to the point of choking. After a few phone calls with Deb about their program we got started right after the holidays. It's been an amazing transformation. He's calmer, listens better, rarely nips, and is doing much better with greeting folks! He comes to us when he's called and walking around the neighborhood with him is now something I look forward to. Deb was really great at helping with our kids to understand what they can and cannot do with their new puppy. What I loved most was the positive training methods she used and how excited he was to go there every day. He absolutely loved Deb and I feel much more confident as a dog owner! Thank you so much for taking such good care of Hudson! Deb, Kristin and the whole staff there were absolutely wonderful. (They also did a great job grooming him--Thanks Lindsay!)

The trainer was excellent and very helpful. She was very knowledgeable about how to train the dog and explained to us very well how to help. We noticed that (Pika) our dog did improve after the training. I highly recommend her.

My rescue pooch showed a real lack of confidence. I enrolled the dog in a weeks training program with Debra at the Range Pet Lodge (North of the Dairy Queen in CARMEL) excellent results. I highly recommend
