Before discovering Instinct, our dog's reactivity was unmanageable. We tried numerous trainers, feeling defeated each time as it never got more manageable. With the looming possibility of rehoming our mini Aussie, Togo, we talked with our vet and they recommended a veterinary behaviorist. The behaviorist, in turn, recommended Instinct. We started with in home training. From the outset, his trainer Meg displayed an unparalleled level of support and awareness of Togo’s needs. She didn't just tell us to “give him treats whe... read more

We have had such good experiences at Instinct -- first with Tiffani and then with Emma.  The facility itself is quite impressive -- they are extremely thoughtful about moving dogs and people throughout their many training spaces.  And the quality of the training is superb.  Emma did such a good job this spring of training *us*  -- I feel significantly more confident in addressing our dog's needs.  And he was just delighted to be back for his follow-up, in-facility session.  I can't say enough good things about Instinct -- we... read more

Everyone at Instinct is very responsive to my dog's particular needs and personality. I'm very grateful to find them and rely on them for training and boarding. The trainers are very skilled and knowledgeable!

We trusted Instinct to help train our new puppy, and it couldn't have gone better. Highly recommend them (especially Shelby) if you need help with your dog.

Wonderful camp for our dog. So far our pup stayed here twice. I really appreciate the reassuring status updates, with pictures and videos. The staff is very attentive.

We LOVE Instinct. I have a shy/anxious dachshund that can be pretty reactive to large dogs/hyper-dogs to the point that it was affecting her ability to calmly walk and be around them. I contacted Instinct and we came up with a game plan to do several home lessons first and then to do some in facility training to help create confidence in my dog and then give her the tools to be able to redirect and quickly calm down after encountering her triggers. They also taught me how to read my dog and I learned her give aways to when s... read more

I cannot speak highly enough about Instinct's Puppy Raising Camp Program. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and caring, providing top-notch training for both puppies and owners. My puppy, Brody, attended the camp and the transformation was incredible. Not only did he learn essential obedience skills, but Brianna (his puppy raiser) also helped me understand how to reinforce these behaviors at home. The training methods were effective yet gentle, and I could see trem... read more

I’ve both boarded my dog and worked with the trainers at Instinct and can’t recommend them enough! When you board a dog, Instinct sends you photos and updates during your dog’s stay, and from the updates, you can tell they really know each dog and tailor their care to suit each one. Our trainer, Emma, is super knowledgeable and my dog adores her. We have seen great results with her guidance! I highly recommend Instinct — everyone there, from reception to trainers to caregivers, goes above and beyond!

If you are looking for a boarding or training facility, instinct is the place. We left our doggie there about 4 times now; boarding sessions and one-day stays; it was the best thing we could have ever done. Not only were they amazing, great communicators, and super loving to our baby, but our dog loved the facility and didn't even say bye when we dropped him off. The employees are super great and so loving to our fur baby. The greatest part about this facility is they constantly update you with pictures and videos, so it mak... read more
