Jordan is phenomenal with both of my dogs, Luna and Remi. Every single trainer there is passionate and excellent at what they do. I’ve built great relationships with both of my dogs because of the training they received at Ward’s. Very helpful and highly recommend!

Justin trained our older and very stubborn husky. He did such a great job with her. She no longer digs or tries to get out of the yard. She is also extremely excited every time she sees him. He has deep love and understanding of dogs.

-Misty E

I’m a first-time dog owner, and he really broke down the psychology of our dog (Nala). He is a great communicator and was extremely patient with us. They also sent videos to show what they were doing during training and how our dog was progressing. We loved the whole process and are so glad we chose Ward’s!
