Testimonial

Don’t just take our word for it — here’s what New Orleans families say about the transformation they’ve seen in their dogs.

We had the best experience at The Dog School New Orleans. Brooke is amazing at what she does. I was at the point of breaking down with little Miss Millie Mae — barking all day, not potty trained, begging for food. In such a short time she’s learned sit, down, place, stopped barking, is potty trained, and I can now let her off- leash. Thanks to The Dog School, we enjoy our pup so much more!

The Dog School New Orleans exceeded my expectations! My dog got treated as if they were the trainer’s own pet. Tons of interaction and I received multiple pictures and videos with daily updates. Beyond satisfied with my experience! Definitely will be using them again with my next pet.

Basic Obedience

The Dog School has been such a blessing to my family. Brooke trained my Lucy — she’s currently “placing” right now as I write this, which wouldn’t have been possible a week ago. She has a calmer demeanor, which feels better for her and for us. Brooke sent daily pictures and videos. I have no doubt Maggie will come home just as well-behaved.
