“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!” 
- Laura Ackley, 2/10
"This was a low key, calm class, and easy to work with my dog. The handouts were useful to have during the week before the next lesson."
- Patsy Amidon, 6/11
"What I learned from Ann, I took home to my other dog, Athena. You can teach an old dog new tricks!"
- Patti Avery, 12/10
“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.”
- Jamie Baker, 7/08
“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!”
- Kristin (and Torre) Bassett, 12/07
“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.”
- Brenda Black, 3/09
"Ann has taught me the tools to be a better dog owner. Not only did Pippa look forward to class each week, but so did I. I learned how to properly train and handle my dog, and look forward to taking more classes in the future."
- Erin Bonafiglia, 7/11
“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.” 
- Emil Bove, 10/09
"Ann is knowledgeable and has a way with the canine crew. Patient, firm, and always positive."
- Lyn Bove, 6/11
“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.
- Valerie Churchill, 10/08
“Liked Ann’s approach and method of training, especially since I’d tried another. Very organized, and handouts each week were very helpful.”
- Jan Day, 12/07
“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!”
- Melissa Dunphy, 3/10
"This is an awesome class! I would recommend it to anyone. It did wonders for all three of my Husky boys!"
- Nicole Eckert, 7/11
"Thank you for giving me the tools to help me help my dog to be the best dog in my world! She has made so much progress in the short time we have been at Brody's. I now feel I can take it further on my own."
- Noelle Fabian, 2/11
“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.”
- Amber Gay, 12/07
“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.”
- Rochelle Grabbatin, 2/08
"I was very pleased with Brody's Boot Camp. Jasper and I looked forward to class every week. The handouts helped a lot and were great. My dog is now very well behaved and I can trust him a lot more. Ann was so nice and very professional, but made sure to make the classes fun. It is definitely worth the time and money. Thanks for everything, Ann."
- Jodi Guererri, 12/11
"Buddy and I really enjoyed coming to class. It was a much better experience than another obedience class that I took my other dog to a few years ago. I would recommend this class highly. Ann and her assistant, Sasha, are the best!"
- Kim Hanes, 10/10
“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.”
- Maria Hartwell, 10/09
"Before starting training, I was honestly seeking out where I could give up my dog because I had no idea how to manage this large friend who came to me so unexpectedly. Now I know I can be a good caretaker and can teach this dog to be the friendly, well behaved friend I needed."
- Brooke Haslam, 12/11
"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!”
- Pam Heffron, 2/09
"Ann at Brody's Boot Camp was great! We had a great time learning how to be happier pet owners. What I liked most was it wasn't all about teaching our dog, but us as well. We've learned so much, but the two most important things were consistency and patience. Thanks, Ann & Sasha!"
- Stephanie Hendrickson & Kevin Roloson, 2/11
“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!”
- Lisa Kaenzig & Christine deDenus, 3/10
"Ann Marshall does an outstanding job of providing individual attention to all dogs! If they need more time or another chance, she's in favor of those modifications. My dog, Izzy, loved her, and Izzy is a great judge of character! I am a big supporter of Brody's Boot Camp!"
- Ann Kaminski, 10/10
"Boone really enjoyed going to the class and learning his polite behaviors. Ann is always so positive and patient with the pups and their humans. I have been to training classes in other places, and Ann is by far the best."
- Paul & Cristi Kelley, 10/11
“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.”
- Mary Lou Lang, 10/09
“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.”
- Thomas Maloy, 5/08
“Ann’s patience and understanding ways make her a dog whisperer in her own. Thanks so much."
- Jan Marquart, 12/07
"I was eight months pregnant when we started puppy boot camp. My Black Lab mix puppy and I took training very seriously with our goal to get as much respect for each other as possible before the newest family member arrived. We worked hard at home and included my husband in at-home training. Needless to say, our son arrived early (on the Friday before the exam), so my husband took Stella to the final class and she passed her CGC test! We are thankful for the respect our dog has for us and our new child. We would not have this without this class."
- Tedra Marshall, 12/10
"The time my dog and I spent at Brody's Boot Camp was very helpful and a lot of fun. Cyrus learned to sit, stay, come, and generally become a more disciplined companion and good canine citizen. Ann trained me to train Cyrus, and the lessons I learned have benefited us both. Cyrus and I plan on joining the advanced class soon, and would recommend Brody's Boot Camp to anyone who wants to build a good relationship with his/her doggy friend."
- George Michaels, 6/11
“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.”
- John Myers, 5/08
“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!”
- Cynthia Park, 2/10
"Ann does such a fabulous job. She helps us humans communicate with our best friends in a fun and consistent manner that will make us welcome out and about and in other's homes."
- Beth Pier, 12/10
“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.”
- Michele Rago, 5/08
“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.”
- Ann Ricci, 10/07
“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.”
- Kyle A. Robinson, 3/08
“Ann’s passion for her work is truly felt with each and every class. She helps to make training an exciting and enjoyable experience.”
- Barbara Rosenblum, 12/07
“This class was well structured and everything was explained well. My dog was the smallest in class and sometimes got away from the lesson, but Ann was very patient and worked well with my dog.”
- Carmina Russo, 8/10
"When we brought our six month old English Springer Spaniel to class, we weren't expecting much. But, with Ann's dedication, patience and passion in a relaxed environment, our Mickey made great progress. As each week passed, we got to see the difference in his behavior and manners. We can't wait to bring him back for the Advanced class. Oh, and WE humans learned a little something along the way, too. Thanks, Ann!!!"
- Sharon & Mike Scattaglia, 2/11
"Going to dog obedience at Brody's Boot Camp was one of the best decisions I've made. I was pretty clueless on how to interact with my new Black Lab, Buddy. He was a joy and a terror to me. Now he is a real joy all the time and I can take him with me wherever I go with confidence. Ann's a true professional. She really knows her stuff, and she is fun! She makes dog obedience enjoyable and takes a personal interest in each dog."
- Anita Shimp, 10/10
"Ann is absolutely wonderful! My "child" is very stubborn and tries to outlast all of us. She definitely took the extra time to make sure I was confident with the training. Great class!"
- Larissa Struzyk, 10/11
“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!”
- Dorothy E. Vogt, 3/08
“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!”
- Rachel Weil, 3/09
“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.”
- David Williams, 3/10
“Real 'one-on-one' dog/owner training! Great paperwork to keep you focused. Good 'dog people' feeling!”
- Sharon Yancey, 5/10
“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!”
