Bluegrass Dog Training

I can’t say enough great things about Arwen and her team. My youngest golden went from nervous and anxious to confident and excited in his first camp session. We’ve now had the chance to do barn hunt, rally and camp and every experience has been fabulous. My dogs all love coming to class and Arwen seems to know just want every dog in the class needs to gain confidence and skills. I took my oldest to the intro to dog sports thinking he’d be too mature for most classes but he LOVED every second. More importantly all the dogs are more focused and relaxed at home and we have little rounds of homework they all look forward to doing! I’ve been going for over 6 months and don’t know that I’ll ever stop, there’s such a great progression from intro classes to the higher level and Arwen is there to support you wether competition or just fun is your goal. If you have dogs there is a class for you! Edited after a full year of trying different classes I can say this place is still amazing. My dogs are even competing at local shows which has been so much fun and made them so much happier at home!!

We love Bluegrass Dog Training Academy! My spirited puppy loves the structure that Arwen and her team provides. I can’t say enough about how knowledgeable and patient the trainers are. We are excited to continue working in rally, agility, and whatever else makes my dog happy while training at BDTA!

My husband and I have been taking scent work classes at BDTA for over 2 years. We are extremely happy with the instruction we've been given by Dr. Kristina Pattison. She has prepared us well for competition and challenges our dogs (and us). I highly recommend BDTA for basic manners on up to advanced levels of competition. Arwen and Kristina both have a wealth of dog knowledge from competing in a variety of dog events over the years. The entire staff at BDTA is friendly, helpful and professional.
