Palo Alto Dog Training, LLC -

My rescue pup Teddy was the youngest in the class and we've had some of the best 6 weeks with Linda and her very intimate class. Responsive, knowledgable, she gave us dog owners insights on how nosework truly works and letting the dog control the situation and let them use their best feature: their nose. His confidence grew at week 2 and more and because we're giving our dog who is part beagle a job to do. Wonderful work, wonderful instructor!

My dog and I took 4 out of the first 6 class sequence. I asked if there was going to be a next cycle of classes to continue and our instructor tried to dodge the question by saying - no there was not enough interest. I followed up that class, with an email of asking when a future class would be offered and how to sign up. The instructor replied saying she was in fact offering another cycle, but my dog would not be approved. I was not only lied to when I originally asked, but I was denied future participation with no explanation. My dog is a well trained Malinois, and he loved the class. But… I’m now left speculating that the instructor had an unjust bias against my dog and/or finds Malinois an unwelcome breed for this class.

Linda is a great trainer. I highly recommend her for nose work training.
