Orion dog training has been there for all of our puppy’s training needs! We and our puppy have learnt a lot for Dieuwke and team during AKC puppy star classes, puppy socials, control unleashed, etc. They are super patient, extremely knowledgeable and go above and beyond to address all of our puppy’s training needs. I’d highly recommend taking any class at Orion.

I attended a puppy social with my puppy- Poppy. She had an excellent time and we got valuable feedback from the trainer. We will continue to return for more socials and hopefully a class in the near future!

We’ve had a wonderful experience with Orion Dog Training. Our Dalmatian puppy, Saggio, started with Puppy Pre-K and puppy socials, and he is now enrolled in AKC STAR Puppy 1. The classes have been incredibly helpful for both Saggio and us as new puppy parents. Dieuke (I hope I’m spelling her name correctly!) is knowledgeable, patient, and very supportive. She creates a positive environment where puppies can learn while also having fun and building confidence. The socials were great for safe puppy interaction, and the structured classes helped us understand how to train and communicate with our puppy effectively.

We took our now 7.5 month old puppy Maisie to both the Puppy Socials and Puppy 1 class at Orion Dog Training and have nothing but good things to say. Dieuwke is incredibly knowledgeable and we learned so much! The Puppy Socials are so valuable and are a wonderful way to socialize your pup in a structured, safe environment. Dieuwke was always so attentive and accommodating for the various needs of puppies, and had great tips and advice. We learned lots during our Puppy 1 class as well, and we hope to take Maisie to more of the many classes that are offered. We had such a great experience at Orion and hope the community continues to support this small business!

Avery was instrumental in training my 7 month German Shepherd. At the time of admission to program he was extremely stubborn and aggressive. Upon completion of training, he is so well behaved and a pleasure to have in my home! I could not believe the progress he made! I couldn’t be happier! I Thank Avery and Marcus and crew!
