Dog School of Minnesota - Minneapolis, Minnesota

We brought our Doberman puppy here as we knew they can be strong willed… and she was. We saw improvement in her after the first month. By the time she graduated she transformed into an incredible companion. Ashley (a trainer) formed a special bond with Stella and the results show it. We truly can’t imagine if we decided not to do this. WAY worth the investment.

I can not say enough great things about this training program! My dog is only on week 4 of his session but has already shown a lot of improvement in the things they have been working on with him when he’s at home! My lab puppy has been an absolute monster (which I mean in the most loving way haha). He hit adolescence and has developed a fear of certain strangers and very random times but also needs lots of help with his basic manners and obedience since he is a large boy at 92lbs and can easily overpower me. I was playing with the idea of sending him to a board and train but I have a very hard time trusting others with the care of my dogs. I absolutely love that I can send him here and know he is learning things he needs to but can pick him up at the end of the day and know he’s doing well and being cared for! I also love that they upload clips of training sessions with your dog throughout the day on their private Facebook group. I can stay up to date on what he’s working on and continue practicing it at home! I have trained my own dogs primarily but due to my disability and a recent surgery, needed help with this unruly puppy. I am SO thankful for the trainers here and I have full confidence that my dog is in good hands during the day while he’s with them! His excitement to go to jump in the car and go to school each day and the way he runs to me if I start playing his trainers videos on my phone because he hears their voices tells me he loves his school a lot too!

Everyone just loves my Fiona. Everyone we meet comments on what a good girl she is. My coworkers especially love when she comes to visit for the day. I give the credit to the wonderful trainers at Dog School. Fiona first went to Dog School when she was 5 months old to get a good foundation on the basics. A year later Fiona took a second semester at Dog School to reinforce the basics and learn a few new things. Fiona is an amazing dog, and I want to give a big thanks to the wonderful trainers at Dog School. The are patient, kind and listen to each dog owners’ personal needs. I loved that I could drop her off and know she would be safe, loved and mentally stimulated during her day there. Thank you Dog School!!!

The best decision that I made for our family was to enroll our puppy in the Dog School of Minnesota. The training foundation that they built has made it easy to continue working on advanced obedience. Apollo’s training was so impactful, that I enrolled him for an additional 4 weeks. Thank you Dog School!

Would you like your dog to reliably sit? Go in their kennel and be quiet when you have company? Not drag you on walks? Come when called? Our dogs learned all this and MUCH, MUCH more at the Dog School of Minnesota. I did a lot of research before choosing a training program and I chose this program because rather than a list of specific skills they want your dog to learn YOU get to decide what should be worked on. Our dogs got individual trainer attention as well as lots of supervised play time in small groups where they could learn how to play appropriately with other dogs. The staff is fantastic to work with and our dogs love them! Highly, highly recommend this program.

We absolutely *love* the Dog School of Blaine! Our pup, Odin, has grown so much with their support-- his recall actually exists now (he would just run amuck before), he waits for our "okay" before going out the door/saying "hello"/etc, and I no longer feel like I'm the one being walked when he is on a leash. 🙂
The team is kind, patient, and really strives to meet the individual need(s) of each dog (and their pet parents!). The "homework" videos are informational and supportive, and it is so fun to see what Odin learns at school (and how to implement at home). Natalie, Sierra, and Jerry are truly the best of the best and we appreciate them more than words can express.

We had such an excellent experience with the Dog School of Blaine! Our puppy has grown leaps and bounds in her training during her time at the school. The trainers were all very attentive to any additional areas of training that we wanted to work on with her. I would highly recommend them to anyone with a puppy starting obedience or for dogs needing additional training!

Guinness came in as a “puppy handful” and left well mannered! All the staff were kind and helpful explaining things throughly whenever we had questions, which was a lot lol. We especially loved the flexible hours which made getting there possible living 30-40 min away.

Natalie was amazing and helped Guinness to be more comfortable with strangers. Her bright smile and love for my dog always made my day. Thank you all! We love you!
