Testimonials
Where wagging tails, positive training, and happy humans come together to build confident dogs and lifelong bonds
“I have had many trainers through the years, and Angela has been by far one of the most helpful and encouraging! Her positive attitude was always evident! Her knowledge content was amazing! She was always available to answer my questions and concerns, and her suggestions were right! Keiva, my AussieDoodle, was a handful, but thanks to Angela, she passed the Good Citizen Canine class with flying colors! I highly recommend signing up for one of her classes!!
Through the years of having worked with many different dog trainers, the traits I have come to value are knowledge/expertise, a positive attitude, an encouraging spirit, sensitivity, and communication skills. Angela has all these and more!”
“We did Angela's puppy class with our 3-month-old golden retriever, Lola. Lola LOVED going to class, and we learned so many helpful tips and skills for training her. We appreciated the focus on establishing a healthy relationship Lola, as well as grace for the reality of training a very excitable pup! Lola is almost 1 year old now, and we still use many of the skills we learned from Angela. We'll also be looking to take Lola's training to the next level with some of Angela's classes for older dogs!”
“There are certain people in life who are true “dog whisperers,” and Angela is undoubtedly one of them. She was there from the very first day our puppy came home at just 12 weeks old, guiding us every step of the way. Angela provided consistent, detailed guidance through written notes and video updates, ensuring we always knew exactly how to support our puppy’s growth.
What truly sets Angela apart is how she invested time in our whole family—including our young kids—teaching us how to interact and train in ways that were safe, effective, and fun. She was incredibly flexible, tailoring her approach to fit both our family’s lifestyle and our puppy’s personality.
We cannot recommend Angela highly enough for anyone seeking personalized, thoughtful, and expert dog training.”
“We had asked Angela to come work with our 12 year old daughter and her puppy this Spring for some private training sessions. Kinley and Maple were signed up for a puppy class as well, but due to sports schedules, we knew it would be a struggle for her to consistently make it; working with Angela was such a great addition!
Angela was so patient and clear in her explanations, and Kinley was very comfortable working with her. Angela is so knowledgeable and genuinely interested in how training was going throughout the week! She was happy to adjust the training agenda based on any behaviors that we wanted to focus on. She even has multiple methods to address certain behaviors, so you can find the one your dog responds to best!
We would highly recommend Angela's private training package to anyone! Her easy-going personality, knowledge, and communication/organization made it a wonderful experience!
Thank you, Angela!
Kinley, Chelsie, and Drew “
“We can’t recommend Angela enough! She has a deep understanding of dog behavior, and her training methods are both effective and compassionate. We saw a noticeable improvement in Abby’s behavior after the very first session. Angela broke everything down into simple, manageable steps that actually work. She’s incredibly patient and always takes the time to answer our questions. She doesn’t just train the dog; she teaches the owners how to communicate better, too. We feel so much more connected to Abby thanks to her expertise. “If you’re looking for a trainer who is patient, knowledgeable, and truly cares about your pup’s success, Angela is the one!”
“With Angela's help, Dorothy overcame her anxiety, learned a ton of cool commands, and is absolutely thriving! 10 out of 10 experience!
Testimonial for Dorothy ( dog) and Kate.
Dorothy couldn’t be with the cats originally and had some separation anxiety”
“Angela from Dogma was incredible. Our veterinarian spoke highly of her, and she truly lived up to every word. The private, in‑home lessons were exactly what our new pup needed to feel relaxed and ready to learn. We especially loved how thoughtfully Angela worked with our daughter while training her puppy, Taffy. She’s knowledgeable, warm, and absolutely wonderful with dogs. We definitely recommend her services!”
