The best dog training center in town! Trish and her crew are amazing; when I first brought my Dog Patches here she was jumping on everyone, and was very wild. In a matter of a few months she is a completely different dog who obeys commands. We have taken Novice, and now Advanced Novice, and will soon be taking other courses here. I would highly recommend this place if you want excellent training for your dog!

I started taking my chi to this place when she was 6 weeks old, she now 3 yo. We still take her there because the staff love her, she loves them and I like that they know us by name. I also had to put down my 24 year old chi (another pet) and they were the best during this time. We live this place, especially Ms. Januce who works in reception.

We went through an 8 week puppy training at Acoma with our last dog 9 years ago. We were extremely happy with Trish, her crew and the overall training experience and results. Trish is an incredible dog trainer who obviously loves her work. We now have a new puppy and just attended our first class at Acoma with this dog. We were glad to see Trish is still the hands on lead trainer. Slip "choke" and prong collars are not required. Slip collars are very effective and not at all abusive for training more problematic dogs. A prong collar is a requirement when dealing with larger dogs that have potentially aggressive behavior. This is a matter of safety for the trainers and other dogs. Our dog is a family member that we always treat with loving dignity and respect. I have had many dogs throughout my life. We feel in no way are Trish's training methods "outdated" or create aggressive tendencies as others have reviewed. This is just not true. Sternly correcting a dog when training is doing zero harm physically or emotionally to the dog. Quite the opposite it is an effective and efficient training tool that helps achieve the goal of a well disciplined dog and long term companion.
