Great place to bring your dog for training; no-nonsense training for people who are serious about getting their dogs trained. Reasonable prices, and some classes are available on a walk-in basis, some with a punch card for savings. Conformation classes are walk-in, $10 per session, exact cash or check only. Facility is clean and free of dog urine odors; there is a nonslip covering on the floors. Main entrance is at the far end of the long side of the building (and parking lot). *** This is not a groomer! No grooming available. Google is misinformed on that.*** Update, 3/7/24: Nothing has changed, but be on the lookout for their occasional trick dog class. Tons of fun, and a great bonding experience with your dog!

So far I've loved my time at Sportsmen's. The instructors are straightforward but kind - they will tell you what you're doing wrong so you can improve. Everyone has been in the professional dog world for decades and is extremely knowledgeable. I've noticed huge improvements in my dog after one class and now he's having a blast doing agility. Highly recommend for basic obedience or higher level AKC sport classes.

I recently completed the beginner class with my three year old minilabradoodle Zivah. This was our first and only dog class that we’ve ever taken. This was all new to both Zivah and myself. Our instructor Suzanne along with Roxanne, Cindy and all the others that were there each week were absolutely fantastic!!! We had a wonderful experience and learned so much!! This is not just for puppies as Zivah is a little over three years old. Zivah exceeded in everything that she learned. And I learned so much too! She was a very nervous sweet puppy in the beginning weeks and at the end of the seven weeks she walked around with her tail high in the air. We had a wonderful class and it was a joy to be with other amazing puppy owners and puppies. We are so happy that we found Sportsmen’s Dog Training Club and can’t wait to start our next class!! We highly recommend this club to all our family and friends. Thanks again for such a great experience!!! You were all amazing and helped me so much with my very sweet and nervous three year old puppy. Dogs are never to old to learn!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! 💜🐶🐾🦴💜 Barb & Zivah

Got kicked out because my dog was scared and when the trainer touched him without warning he snapped. She said “he’s scared and doesn’t know me” and still aggravated him. Not 5 minutes before this happened another, smaller dog snapped at her with far less provocation and that dog got a muzzle, but my bigger dog got kicked out. I even asked why we couldn’t go with a muzzle and was ignored. They can say they aren’t prejudiced against pits, but the evidence speaks for itself. We already weren’t excited about some of the methods, we communicate with our dog constantly and they were telling us not to give commands he’d already learned without telling us the reasoning behind that. She literally told us to undo the training we’d already done with him. At least we got our refund in a timely manner.

We attended a puppy class and the online registration and payment was easily navigated. For the # of people and dogs there, this was well organized and efficiently ran. Staff was extremely helpful and pleasant. They keep the place clean. Classes are reasonably priced. Parking is tight and if you miss the turn you have to turn around as all the surrounding blocks are dead ends.
