Signing our dog up for Flash Dog Training was one of the best decisions we ever made. When we adopted Ollie from a shelter 2 years ago, we quickly realized there would be many issues to work through. When left in his kennel, he would incessantly bark and try to chew through it. When at …
We’ve had him back for a week, and are amazed at all that has been possible with him… Read More »

Won’t use “corrective” tools in dog training, but yells at their dog constantly for not listening.
