Ken Schilling's Pro Dog Training

Hours: Ken Schilling's Pro Dog Training is widely regarded as the best dog trainers in the area, with decades of experience. The training process is highly effective, with many clients reporting they learn more in one class than in months elsewhere. Ken is a true professional with a quiet, calm personality and vast experience with all kinds of dogs and owners, which creates a safe space for learning. He, along with his son Courtney who is a wonderful trainer in his own right, not only trains dogs but also trains the owners, focusing on clear communication and consistent limits. The facility is impressive and provides a controlled environment with many intentional distractions like horses, goats, and peacocks to proof a dog's obedience. This ensures dogs are well-behaved and can follow commands despite challenges. The trainers work kindly and clearly with both dogs and owners, understanding limitations and knowing when a dog needs a break, while also ensuring disobedience is not an option. The result is a greatly improved relationship and a well-trained dog that thrives. Clients consistently receive compliments on their dog's level of obedience in public. The strong recommendation is to start training with them from the first day you get your puppy for the best results.
