We've been taking our year old puppy to training with Abbi and he's made huge gains. We couldn't take him on a walk without him pulling the whole time and going crazy at cars, people, and dogs when we walked by that I was so embarrassed that I stopped taking him on walks. After his first training package he was walking right next to me with a completely loose leash and not going bonkers at all the distractions around him. He gets so excited when you ask him if he wants to go to school. He has learned so much from Abbi and her team. The staff is always nice and helpful. I would highly recommend taking your dog here for training and daycare. I also love getting report card of what was worked on for the day and what needs improvement and what they are doing well with! The cute pictures they send home and post on their page are always a fun bonus as well!

We had a great experience with Dog Obedience 1. The trainers are really experienced and knowledgeable. They genuinely care about the dog/parent relationship and teaching owners how to set expectations and consistency with their pups. We will be back!

Abbi and her training team are simply amazing. Our dog went from not listening to a thing we said to being one of the best behaved dogs in our neighborhood. We always get compliments on his behavior and we have Doggie Business to thank. They've also helped us with boarding, grooming, and daycare and we can't recommend them enough.
