They are great. Patient with myself and my goldendoodles. Training is a long process when done correctly and not hurting the dog, via shock collars. These trainers are kind and never hurt a dog. Highly recommend them.

This place really helped me learn how to work with my puppy! Our Rhodesian was in the puppy class. The staff was highly observant to puppies' interactions to make sure everyone was playing nicely. I learned strategies to use daily at home and continue to use those strategies with our new shelter dog. If you have a puppy, it's worth the time! Thank you, BADDogsInc!

This is an honest review. Its not a good experience to bring your dog here. We brought our "shih tzu" with an issue of anxiety/ snapping. First 2 sessions, Barbara just sit and let the dog wonder around the room for an hr. Gave a recommendation for a drug to make the dog dizzy. We paid a lot just for this? Without the effects of meds, the dog attitude remains the same. He still snaps and was not even corrected. She never reached out to us as a "customer" on how's the dog doing. I decided that this is not worth it. I spent too much for nothin. Don't be fooled with the good reviews you see here.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! BADDogs has always been our go to. For the past 18 years we have had the pleasure to take all of our dogs there. We've experience both group sessions and 1:1 sessions. One thing we've learned is that it's the person that needs to be trained more so than the dog. Not just Barbara but her staff that I have worked with have been consistent as well as honest and direct.
This I appreciate more than anything. I can only assume that people giving negative reviews don't necessarily like to be told that they are doing something improper, but that the role of the trainer in my eyes. That said we've put constant time training our puppies through BADDogs. It's an expectation that the dogs parents participate in 100% of the training.

Barbara has been so amazing and wonderful to work with. I had a hard time finding anyone to help me work with my service animal. Barbara and her team not only stood up to the challenge she helped me in more ways than I could ever have expected. She and her staff are so dedicated to helping in any way she has gone above and beyond what I could expect. She had been a true Patriot in helping this wounded warrior find some peace with my 8 month Belgian.
I cannot say enough great things about this wonderful woman and her company without her I would have fallen in a deeper depression. I was so lost and wanted to give up. I am so grateful and thankful.

I have top show dogs and Barbara has always started working with them at around 12 weeks. They start with their puppy CGC (Canine Good Citizen) and then to their adult qualification. They are also service dogs and therapy dogs thanks to Barbara. Teaching dogs from a young age makes a huge difference starting their show life. They are well socialized because of her mixed puppy classes which are great.
The facility couldn't be more perfect. She has private classrooms and an extra large communal class that has plenty of room to do agility and show training. I keep going back to Bad Dogs as the dogs are happy and couldn't be more excited when they arrive and when they see Barbara they go crazy kissing her. When we are in the area we will stop by to say hello as my girl still loves to join in one of the classes. Thank you Barbara and your team for all that you do for the dogs in our community.
