“Vixen and I received a great introduction to instruction on good behavior.  I was able to see results immediately, as well as bond more with my pup.  We both looked forward to class each week and plan on taking the advanced class.  Thank you!” 

“I would definitely recommend this class. It may not fix your dog in six weeks, but it definitely gets them on their way and it gave me the necessary training to properly train my dog. I have really enjoyed it.”

“When I signed my puppy, Torre, into obedience class, I thought for sure this would be quite the task. The first week I admit I was disappointed in her progress. However, as each week went on I was increasingly happy with her progress. Ann made the classes fun for the dogs as well as the owners. We would all applaud one another’s successes. Ann has a true love and compassion for dogs that is evident from the second you walk through the door for the first class. I would recommend Brody’s Boot Camp to anyone that loves their dog and wants the best training for them. Thanks so much Ann!”

“Ann runs a very organized, structured, and friendly boot camp!”

“This training was wonderful! It helped my husband and I learn to be pack leaders for our Maggi and it was extremely helpful in boosting Maggi’s confidence. Ann is a great teacher and I would recommend this class to others in need of help for their dog.”

“A very positive experience… We thoroughly enjoyed boot camp.  Willy learned a great deal and was able to become comfortable with the other dogs.  Ann sets a very positive, encouraging tone.” 

“It was so nice to receive information on how best to train my dog. The class was very hands-on and Ann obviously cares about the safety and well being of all dogs and it comes through in her class! I know we’ll be able to continue at home. Thanks.”

“My husband and I adopted a large dog from the shelter and were concerned he may be untrainable. Ann gave us the tools and confidence to be good ‘pack leaders’ and make Jasper a well behaved and loved member of our family.

“This training was great! It gave me and my dog the basic training we needed. I now feel confident that I can continue to train my dog to behave in public.”

“Liked Ann’s approach and method of training, especially since I’d tried another. Very organized, and handouts each week were very helpful.”

“This was an excellent class for my dog and me to attend. The small size, calm approach, and great instruction made us look forward to come each week. Handouts helped reinforce the lessons we learned each week, making practice time at home less stressful.”

“A wonderful training class for six weeks in which we were supplied with the basic and necessary tools that will further enhance our bond together along with obedience for years to come. Thank you.”

“This is the first time I have taken a dog to obedience school, and it reinforced my love of dogs… especially German Shepherds. Your classes were exceptional and you sensed if something wasn’t working and changed the situation immediately. I enjoyed the handouts as they were very beneficial and contained a lot of information. Thank you very much.”

“Not only is the class fun and exciting for our dog and us, but Ann's professionalism and organization of the class is something you don't find everywhere. It is obvious this is her passion. She cared about our dog, Ace, as if he was her own. Thank you!”

“I thought the class was awesome and has helped my dog so much.  I would tell anyone to take the class.” 

“Brody’s Boot Camp is the best!! Ann really helped me find a level that I never knew existed; a way for my dog, Chloe, and I to understand each other. The lessons are short and straight to the point. Although Chloe was only 3-4 months old, she learned quickly. I would absolutely recommend this class to anyone and everyone, but you must have patience. I’m looking forward to what the future holds for Chloe and I.”

“Discouraged with my rambunctious and frivolous 4 month old Pug, Sammy, I decided to look for a local dog obedience class. I never knew I could actually tame my unruly “child”! I discovered right away that it wasn’t that Sammy was unable to learn, it was that I had to learn to be firm and consistent. Combine this with the knowledgeable training methods Ann uses, and I ended up with a happy, obedient dog that is eager to learn even more! I could never have taught Sammy heel, sit, stay, down, come and attention without Ann’s help. Not only is Ann excellent with dogs, but she is also patient and understanding with people. She always made me feel comfortable to ask any and as many questions, no matter how trivial they may have seemed. I highly recommend Brody’s Boot Camp and I am thankful for the positive impact the experience has had on our lives.”

“We looked forward to class every week! Thanks, Ann.”

“Even the second time around, I learned how to interact with my new dog in a positive way! Each dog is different and you have to adjust to who they are in getting the response you desire.”

"It was so much fun to see all the dogs in the class, not just mine, progress so well and it was so obvious that the dogs were proud of themselves! Loved the class. Ann really knows her stuff!”

“When I took my dog to training she knew no commands, but now she knows sit, stay and heel. If you want the best for you and your dog, train your dog at Brody’s.”

“We were concerned that we had waited too long before attending obedience classes with our small dog, now 3 years old. We were amazed by how quickly she learned new commands (heel, sit, stay, come) and how happy she was during and after each class. She now happily goes for good walks, listens to our requests, and appears more content. We look forward to future classes at Brody's Boot Camp with Ann!”

“I think it's great that Birdie learned 'heel', 'leave it', watch me', and 'come'. She also 'stays' for me now on command in the car it I have to run into a store... big improvement. Thanks for all your hard work and effort. We have a great dog who got even better with your help.

Also, two stories to share: Coming home from Ithaca I saw a doberman crossing in and out of traffic. I grabbed Birdie's lead, got out of the car and gave the dog the 'stay' command. I put her on the lead and walked to find her owners. Without your class I would have been intimidated by a doberman. But, I felt I could do what I needed to by judging her body language and demeanor. Another day while Birdie and I were taking our morning walk, a large dog came out of some bushes towards us snarling. I gave Birdie the 'leave it' command and calmly turned and walked her in the other direction without incident. These are two instances where knowledge I'd gained in class averted serious situations. I had no idea when I signed up that I might be able to learn information that was going to save me or my dog from big trouble! Many thanks.”

“I hadn’t had a puppy since I was a kid and had no idea what to expect when I signed Woody up for obedience classes. It was truly amazing for me to watch his progress from his first class to his last class. We both learned so much and Ann is an amazing instructor. She goes above and beyond to meet the needs of both you and your dog. She gives out weekly handouts so you can practice at home; was always available to contact with concerns or questions; and she gave a BIG doggie graduation with balloons, homemade doggie treats, diplomas, and prizes for every dog at our last class. What more could you ask for? I would highly recommend this class to anyone who has a puppy/dog. It was well worth it. I liked it so much that I am thinking about signing Woody up for the Advanced classes just so I can show off all his skills.”

“Before Brody’s Boot Camp, it was a chore to walk Basher, but now he stays right by my side, stops at every corner, and ignores all distractions! Brody’s Boot Camp has turned this chore into a treat!”

“An outstanding place to get your dog the basic training you need for peace of mind. Ann made the classes fun and basic for the dog and myself. I highly recommend this ‘boot camp’ training for everyone who cares for their dog.”

“Ann’s patience and understanding ways make her a dog whisperer in her own. Thanks so much."

“Ann has a great rapport with both the owners and the dogs. I see a big difference in the respect that Hoover gives me now from when we started the class. I would recommend Ann to anyone.”

“Prior to training classes Sophie was just a six month old puppy with no boundaries. Throughout the six week training, we became more confident and developed a strong bond. Sophie is now a seven month old pack member.”

“We’d only had Jackson (2 year old, Golden Retriever) for a few weeks when we signed him up for classes. We are thankful to Brody’s Boot Camp training as we had a lot of issues to face. The classes were a huge success and Jackson is getting to be the perfect pet.”

“I was unable to walk my dog, Barney, before taking these classes as he would always pull on his leash. We now enjoy our walks together.”

“Brody’s Boot Camp is an exceptional learning experience for both owner and pet. Ann’s method of training is fun and upbeat, and provides the basic tools that will allow me to continue training at home. The ‘camp’ has made training my dog, Zoe, enjoyable and rewarding. I recommend this experience to any owner who truly loves, and loves being with, their pet.”

“We loved class with Ann! Duke whined every week as soon as we turned down your street! ‘Leave it’ was the best lesson ever and who knew it was such a magical command. Thank you!”

“I highly recommend this training class to those who want a well behaved companion. Ann has a passion for dogs and seeing them succeed with their owners. This is the best thing I could have done with my dog. We’ve developed a stronger bond through this training.”

“The class was well structured and taught both my dog and myself the basics in control. Ann always went out of her way to help with problems or concerns with Moxie outside of class, too. I highly recommend this training class.”

“Brody’s Boot Camp gives you the tools and guidance to create a bond, as well as learn the fundamentals, which makes for a more enjoyable relationship with your pet.”

“Ann’s passion for her work is truly felt with each and every class. She helps to make training an exciting and enjoyable experience.”

“Both Bessie and I benefitted tremendously from taking this class. While the format is structured, Ann seemed to instinctively know when we needed a break or some “play” training. She always kept the classes to the point, but still fun and interesting. We learned so much. I highly recommend Brody’s Boot Camp!”

“Class was serious, but fun. Ann gave lots of individual attention to help each one of us owners figure out how to make things work. She never lost her confidence or sense of humor. And, Lucy agrees!”

“The training, instruction, and personal attention you gave each of us was worth a lot more than what you charge. All of our family and friends can see a huge difference in Zoey.”

“Real 'one-on-one' dog/owner training! Great paperwork to keep you focused. Good 'dog people' feeling!”

“I knew I would enjoy class, but it still far exceeded how much. It was good medicine to look forward to something each week and always feel a sense of accomplishment after each class. Ann gives us all positive reinforcement, canine and human alike, and it works. It’s no longer about walking your dog with confidence, it’s about walking through life with confidence with your dog by your side! Thank you, Coach!”
