The Polite Pooch

Sure! Here’s a polished review for you: ⸻ Outstanding Private Dog Training Experience with Carly! I can’t say enough good things about Carly Private Training! Carly is absolutely amazing — she’s incredibly friendly, and all the dogs just adore her. We’ve learned so much from our private training sessions with her. What really sets Carly apart is her dedication and follow-through. Even after our session, she went above and beyond by emailing helpful tips and advice tailored to what we had worked on. Her guidance has made such a positive impact on our dog’s behavior and our overall understanding of training techniques. I highly recommend Carly to anyone looking for private dog training or even fun doggy playdates. She’s fantastic, and you can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. If you’re considering training for your pup, Carly is the one to call!

Carly is a wonderful trainer. After just a couple of classes, we were able to get our puppy to go to place, go to crate, and reduced her reactivity a great deal. Her approach is positive and she is a very patient and upbeat person. It’s been a pleasure working with Carly and the sessions have been worth every penny. Thanks so much Carly!

I interviewed 3 dog training professionals prior to selecting Carly. Carly was my selection as a trainer because of her proven/personal compassion for animals and her commitment to not using negative training techniques such as shock collars, negative rewards etc. as well as her certifications and work experiences. After 3 sessions I now have a much better understanding of how to manage/interact with my dog Cookie and what I need to do to continue the progress. Carly not only trained Cookie but also trained me. Leash training has made walks more enjoyable for Cookie and me. Basic commands are working well. I also have more reasonable expectations of what is possible thanks to Carly's honest feedback. I highly recommend considering Carly for help with your pet.

Carly is a wonderful trainer! She is very pleasant to work with, and is kind and patient with our crazy dog. She arrives to sessions very punctual and prepared. We were at a loss for how to get our dog to listen, and after just one session with Carly, there was a huge improvement. We look forward to the skills our dog gains with each session. I would highly recommend Carly if you are in need of help to train your dog. She has definitely changed our household for the better! **updating to add that Polite Pooch now offers play groups, which our dog recently attended for the first time. She had such a blast and Carly gave updates as to how the play group went, which is always awesome to see!

Carly is amazing! She's kind, reliable, funny, empathetic and an animal lover (our kitties -- especially our tortie! -- likes Carly too). We adopted a scared, unsocialized 6-month-old miniature poodle from a puppy mill situation who – thanks to Carly – is now blossoming. Through one-on-one training, puppy playgroups, and smaller puppy playdates, Remy has become a more confident, happy dog. Carly has provided us with invaluable information and significantly lessened our stress since adopting Remy, and we plan to continue to work with her as Remy ages!

Carly is the best - reliable, trustworthy and kind. We feel 100% relaxed knowing our boy is being visited by Carly while we are out or away! Would highly recommend her to anyone with a furbaby.

If I could give Carly 1,000,000 stars, I would in a heartbeat. To tell you Carly is THE best would be an understatement! My puppy, Mia, LOVES Carly and so do I! Carly is wonderful in every way. Along with being very talented in her craft, she is extremely kind, fun, loving and compassionate. Puppy playdates have also been incredibly beneficial to Mia. I couldn't recommend Carly in a higher regard. I am so grateful to and for her. If you are searching for a trainer or someone trustworthy to supervise and care for your fur baby on playdates, Carly is it!
