Premier has been a literal lifesaver for my dog, Toby. The three-week boot camp is a BIG commitment, financially, but I just picked up him up this week, and I can say it is ABSOLUTELY worth it. Jessi is a wonderful trainer! Not only does Toby show no longer show signs of his former anxiety or reactivity in our home, we now have an affordable place for daycare and boarding. He loves all the staff and has made some doggie friends too! I recommend Premier without a single reservation.

Premier has been a fantastic host to our dog many, many times. Both boarding and daycare services are top of the line, and their openness to accept dogs of all levels of reactivity and boarding experience is truly commendable. You will have a great piece of mind while your dog is with Premier.

My Puppy has grown in manners, respect, and freedom. 3 week boot camp and a different puppy.It's worth the time and money. It was worth the friends and social time he made. He now goes to daycare to ensure he keeps seeing friends and makes new ones.Ches, emotionally happy, when he spends a good amount of time with other dogs. Premier Dog Training delivers on their promise. I have never met the owners, but great job.My dog is super happy, smart, and always learning more here.Lastly,The staff always listen to my concerns, treating my dog well. They give updates and continue that friendliness, tailored support for my Ches. They show hime love. He comes home happy and not afraid. He is ready to play or go to bed.He loves jumping out to go in. It is a repeated request to get in the car to go home.I would do it all again.

Premier dog training is one of the best dog kennel that I have come across. And i've came across several. These people treat the dogs like their own dogs. They have some of the best trainers that you can imagine. The employees have great attitudes. And it's always been a pleasure to bring my dog there. And they always make sure he's clean when he comes home. Please make sure you try these people at least one time. You will not regret it...

I love Premier Dog. We used them for dog training when our Doberman was a baby and then a few years later when we were expecting. They did an awesome job! We also use them for boarding when we need to travel. Everyone there is so friendly and they know our dog from the minute we get there!

We wanted to give a big shout out to Premier Dog Training. Our dog Kobi has been going to this dog boarding and training center for the last 2 ½ years. When we first got our German Shepherd, we were in need of training! We sent Kobi for 3 weeks of Boot Camp where he learned how to respond to a series of commands and improve his social skills with other dogs, people and children. Then it was our turn to learn how to become better handlers. The trainers were excellent as were the other handlers on staff. We logged on to their Instagram page every night for those three weeks to catch a glimpse of him, training and playing in the yard. After his stint at the Premier Boot Camp, we began taking Kobi back weekly for a daycare, which for him is like camp! Every time he sees us packing up his food bag for the weekly trip there, he paces back and forth waving his tail knowing exactly where he is going for the day! We travel 30 minutes to get there and as we come close to the exit, he starts waving his tail and panting. We could almost put him at the wheel to drive there! If you are looking for an excellent place to have your dog trained, boarded and or improve your dog’s social skills, don’t hesitate to visit Premier Dog Training. They will bark to show their appreciation!

The staff is very friendly and were eager to start working with our pup. With this being our first time using professional training we were extremely curious about whether it would be worth the money; I can say that it was. While we missed our puppy during the three weeks, the amount he learned was worth it. The front desk staff were quick to communicate everything with us. They updated us as things occurred and were very quick to reply. This has been a fantastic experience and we look forward to working with them in the future.

We had a great experience at Premier. My dog loved it and she is a so well behaved now. We highly recommend the ecollar training course.Update: We brought our dog back for boarding for a few days and it was great. She was so excited to go back when I pulled into the parking lot to drop her off. That says a lot. We will definitely be going back even though it is 1hr from our house.

Premier dog training is an amazing place to board your pets. As a former employee, I first hand experienced the greatness of the company.They have amazing trainers. The trainers work hard and often and sometimes come in on their days off to make sure the boot camp dogs are trained well.The kennel staff cares deeply about your dogs. They make sure that all animals are treated equally.The front desk staff is the friendliest staff I have ever worked with. They will help the best they can.

The most amazing team and facility, and the only place we feel comfortable leaving our dogs! The entire staff is so caring, knowledgeable and responsive and they always take such good care of our boys. Cam did an unbelievable job with their training and was so patient, kind and attentive. Our dogs absolutely loved Cam and the entire team!

We have been with you many times over now many years. Your staff is caring and attentive always to my doggies, Stella and Kiki and to me! My girls are happy to arrive and go inside to you. They have come home happy and healthy. in prior vistis, you have noted a few things health wise that needed attention which demonstrates how you actively monitor them while in your care.You and your staff not only provide genuine care from the heart for my girls but also even more, peace of mind for me that they will be all happy and healthy with you.I have gladly recommended your team to all the dog owners I know. I come from Bethesda to you and totally worth the drive. Thank you!

Great place, great people. Always feel comfortable leaving my dog with them. The bootcamp is great and helped a lot with training. My dog always seems excited to be there. What is particularly helpful is unlike other places we looked, they don't just throw all the dogs together. They take time to assess what dogs can play safely together and which should probably not be together and schedule playtime accordingly.We also appreciated that they accept unaltered dogs. This is particularly helpful given for large dogs vets don't recommend it until at least 1 year. However, all the other places we looked had a hard and fast cut off of 7 months. This, I think, indicates to me that while they are a business, they care about the health and well-being of the dogs.If you do go through the bootcamp, they help with ongoing training and if you drop your dog off for boarding, they will do refreshers upon request.

Highly recommend, our 2 year old German Shepherd Bear recently completed their board and train program and the results are amazing! My dog had been through other training with only minimal results. Bear is very smart but stubborn and would not listen and was not treat motivated at all, he was walking me, lunging at other dogs and did not like strangers. It was so bad our vet would not see him unless she sedated him. That behavior is now gone he has been home 3 weeks, I am walking him now and he ignores other dogs as they pass and even let a neighbor pet him! When i give him a command he listens, we will definitely keep doing are homework by reinforcing what they taught him. Cannot say enough good things about the staff, they took good care of him while he was there, he came home happy and I could tell he was well cared for!!!

Cameron was a fantastic trainer to Macy and I. I was impressed by her calm demeanor and patience when we dropped off and picked up Macy after bootcamp. She answered all my questions, gave me additional tips, and it was very evident that my puppy LOVES her. I'm so thankful I made the choice to bring her to Premier.

Our dogs love coming here. We have 2 rescue dogs that went through the training program and have come back for boarding. This last visit, they recognized where they were and couldn't wait to get out of the car! All the staff are so friendly and knowledgeable. They truly love our dogs like we love them.

No words to describe how blown away we were just watching the training demo when we picked up our dog Morty. He was so happy and calm while following commands and doing the training. He’s the same sweet boy, but new and improved with his training tools. We are so excited to keep up with training and to bring Morty back for boarding and for follow up sessions. The off-leash boot camp is well-worth every penny. Forever grateful to Connor, Morty’s trainer, and to the whole Premier staff!!

Very friendly staff and my dog's trainer was wonderful. They seem to care alot about the animals and treat them very well. Anytime I had questions or issues, they've been very helpful. If you choose to go this route, be advised it will be ALOT of work on your part as well. The follow-up training that you do at home with them will be crucial to maintaining the training that you paid for.

Premier made a huge difference in our rescue dog. I am so thankful we used them! The training and love my dog received has been a blessing. I will most certainly continue to recommend them.

The Premier team is the best. I had my dog trained here with James, and she's so much better. The entire staff is so friendly and accommodating.

Been taking my dog here for daycare about 1/2 days a week for almost a month. She loves it, comes home tired. She's always excited when get in the parking lot.Everyone is super nice, and even though this place is a little more expensive than Petsmarts daycare, they are well worth the extra few dollars. Petsmart charges you almost 4+ dollars to feed them or give them treats. Premier, however, if Ruth doesn't eat breakfast by chance they always will take the food and try and get her to eat before play time.

Our dog Athena went through Boot Camp here in July and it was amazing. We rescued Athena who is a 2 yr old pitbull mix and she needed serious training. We picked Premier Dog Training and did the 3 week remote collar boot camp. After 3 weeks we went to do our going home session and we were amazed at what Athena could do. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. We have since done our at home session with Premier and that was also extremely helpful. They went over our trouble issues that were going on in our home for example: jumping all over the furniture when guests come to the house and counter surfing.Now we have a wonderful obedient dog that we are enjoying and no more chaos in the house with Athena.Thank you Premier Dog Training

Maverick is a 9 years old GS/Hound mix. He pulls me for a walk and it’s rough. Cheri shows us how to change it so I walk him not him pulling me.🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼He was very comfortable with her. She did very good with him.We highly recommend PDT.

My husband and I enrolled our 9 month old Pit in the 3 week boot camp, the staff and trainer Jessi were fantastic. So much communication and responsiveness. She has been home for 2 days and is doing great. I am so impressed with the effectiveness of this program. It is obvious that the the atmosphere and culture created by the owners is very positive and structured. Nugget will return in a month for the follow-up training and we will use Premier for future training and boarding. They are only 8 miles from BWI!

My Golden Retriever, Sandie, spent 10 weeks at PDT - while her human had open heart surgery. Not only did she attend boot camp with Connor for three weeks, but he continued her training during her entire stay. Sandie has always had anxiety and was on medication for it. I gave permission for their vet to examine Sandie and change her medication if necessary. Yes, a different medication started helping her and will be continued at home. She is much more relaxed, comfortable and happy. I do believe she smiles. I can't say enough about PDT. Julie and Taylor (front desk) were always friendly and their emails were comforting to me as I recovered from my surgery. Jess also kept me informed of Sandie's progress. Connor spent extra time at pickup to make sure I could handle Sandie and understood her newly learned commands. Instagram was updated with pictures and videos which somehow helped me feel closer to her even though we were miles apart. Yes, I cried when I looked at them but cried even more when I picked her up from her 10 week stay at PDT. Sandie was a much happier fur-baby and I can easily control her while I'm still recovering. No more pulling and Sandie enjoys her commands. I would also like to say that my daughter researched several facilities and none of them had anything close to what PDT offers. When you walk into the facility, the air is fresh and none of the rooms smell of urine. The suites are large and the dogs are not kept in cages. Next summer, I'm planning on taking a two week vacation and will be sending Sandie back to PDT for boarding. On the plus side - since she has already attended boot camp, she will always receive refresher training whenever boarded. I will forever be grateful to the entire staff at PDT for taking care of my fur-baby during my surgery and recovery. Love to all of you, Annie

The staff here is amazing. So friendly and knowledgeable. They make you feel so comfortable and answer every question you have. They absolutely love the dogs they work with. They worked with our older dog and our puppy and we are blown away with the results. Premier Dog Training is by far the best.

I took my 1.5 year old Blue Healer here for the boarding/training program. We were having issues with aggression towards people, he was extremely destructive, and he would not let me give attention to the other pets that were in the house before he was. He graduated from the program about two months ago and now he allows people to pet him without worry, I can give all my pets attention, and he has a purpose besides tearing up the house. Premier is also great at communicating. I don't think I have ever waited a whole day for an email to be replied to. I would 100% recommend them for anyone who doesn't quite know how to train a pet. Their instagram is a great way to see your pets progress along with easing you from missing them.

I have nothing but good things to say about Premier Dog Training. My dog, Bear, went there for bootcamp and I am so impressed with the results. It use to be stressful to go on walks or even just hang out around the house. Now it’s a pleasure to be a dog owner. The staff is amazing from the front desk to the trainers. We even had questions once we got home and got a response within an hour. I could not be happier. I would recommend them to anyone with dog.

We have sent our 75 lb pit bull for boot camp and boarding. He loves going there and really learned a lot from the training.

My 'Socks' can't wait to get out the car. We use their daycare services. I did an impromptu tour and was very impressed. The place was well organized and smelled great! That was a big plus with the volume of dogs they care for. Picked him up one day while he was playing on the doggie playground with his friends. It was sunny and they had the outdoor hydration station running. He was in his element... he didn't even see me watching him for about 10 min. Thumbs 👍🏾 and paws 🐾 up!

We were so comfortable sending our dog to Premier for bootcamp because the staff was so attentive and understanding during our intro calls and initial visit. We also greatly appreciated the updates via email and social media, especially as it related to his arthritis and his progression through the camp. We're excited to continue sessions with the trainers after bootcamp, to ensure that my husband and I are completing at-home training correctly and maintaining all the great work that the Premier staff did. Also thrilled to have the ability to board with Premier as well
