Summer is full of energy but after taking the class she is much better at sitting and lying and listening. The class was very helpful and everyone was very nice.

Wonderful place for pet training. Ducati is going to be my service dog thanks to Lauren and her crew. He was adopted from Halifax Humane Society with recommendation from Lauren and he loves coming to training. The crew are fantastic and is showing me different things to teach me so my dog can respond to my commands. Ducati recognizes the building before I park and is so excited to greet the crew and for me to continue to be trained on how to best serve my needs and how he can help me lead a fulfilling life. Thank you so much Lauren and the crew

Lauren was awesome!! She’s the best trainer we’ve had by far. Our dog, Pico was a rescue and had some small behavior issues to work on, and we were able to fix these issues. He’s also become much more calm when people come over due to the methods she suggested. He’s getting better at loose leash walking and has become more confident in himself. We are so grateful for Lauren’s help as Pico has improved significantly in all aspects. Lauren is fun to work with and she is very personable. I can’t recommend her enough. Please sign up!! She’s the best I’ve seen :)

Lynette was great. Very personal and understanding. She was great with showing me the beginnings of working with my new puppy Blu. I will be calling back to set her up for more training in the near future for more advanced training. Thank you guys very much.

My husband and I found Lauren and Pet Peeves last year after adopting a two year old fearful and reactive dog. Through one on one training, Lauren taught us and our dog so much.We recently adopted a three year old dog with limited obedience. We attended the eight session group class and were able to establish a solid foundation to build from.I have also attended the pet cpr class. I highly recommend it.Five stars for all the training received.

Lauren is not only a great dog trainer but a great people trainer & overall good person. I brought my newly rescued shelter dog to her to help me manage my dog's extreme reactivity to other dogs. My dog went from acting like she wanted to fight every dog we came across to being way more under control. She now looks at me for direction and is way less stimulated than she used to be. Above all Lauren instilled a confidence about handling my dog that I didn't even know I was lacking. I feel so much more empowered with the tools and knowledge I learned from her. I definitely recommend her and would definitely use her services again if needed.

There are not enough praises for this dog training facility “Pet Peeves “ the level of knowledge and professionalism is outstanding! A clean very well kept training facility. We are grandparents and caregivers of a now 8 month old Rottweiler “ Athena” with a heart shaped butt to boot cracking people up wherever she goes lol…. Athena let us know at only 3 months old she was very scared around fast objects and people she did not know . Laura knew right away Athena suffered from leash aggression . This made walking her a disaster and scary for us and everyone around us . This Breed of dog is already associated with aggressive temperaments , however, we have also seen this dog breed loving , smart and affectionate making them excellent family pets in the right home with the right training . Because we lacked the knowledge to know how to handle this nervous leash aggression , we knew it was time to find a trainer . Thankfully Laura agreed to train us to help Athena and by session 2 out of 10 Athena’s leash reactivity decreased immensely and by the 9 session pretty much gone altogether Athena learned to perform commands such as leave it , sit , place , stay and leash re direction while walking around fast objects and people with no barking or growling . Laura even taught us how to trim her nails without having a bad experience still a work in progress for grandma but we will get there with Laura help . Laura’s honesty and integrity was what our family needed . We are so appreciative of her and pet peeves team of trainers . This was one of the best decisions we could have made and a priceless one . Athena thanks you as do we . We Just cannot say it enough ?.

The trainers at Pet Peeves Dog Training are absolutely amazing. They took the time to ensure not only the dogs but the owners understood the training. My dog Dolly and I enjoyed the class and learned a ton. We drove almost 1 hour each way to class and would do it again in a heart beat. We looked forward to each and every class.

We rescued a very frightened and likely abused 2 year old Boston Terrier. He had significant trust issues and would snap at us when nervous or scared. Lauren helped us work through that with him. He is now a great dog, obedient and trusts us. He still gets nervous occasionally but with Lauren's help we know how to deal with him.

Lauren is the only person we will ever bring our furry friend to for training. Within our 8 sessions there has been a complete transformation in our dog Suki and the way we communicate with her. She has learned all her basic commands and a few extra tricks to help make her the best pet possible. I would 100% recommend pet peeves dog training to anyone looking to start from the beginning or advanced level of training

These are my Papillons Toby and Angel. Rescued at 6 months old ,at 8 months old after taking a walk a neighbors dog appeared and started attacking them. This changed their personality both became aggressive and afraid. Toby was the worst.I tried several training classes but they did not help. One day on a walk Toby became so aggressive I was not sure what our future could be. I found Pet Peeves Training. I spoke to Lauren and she said bring them in for evaluation. Lauren and Tina spent time with them and won them over! Toby and I started training with Tina. We had 12 classes and I now have awesome Toby! Tina worked with Toby and me ,she taught us so many training technics .We will use everyday. I highly recommend Tina to train any dog. I will be taking Angel to Tina for training , as I continue to use these tools for Toby. Thanks to all at Pet Peeves Dog Training for excellent training . Judy McGrow
