As the saying goes… a tired dog is a good dog!Maia has such a good time at day school that she is usually passed out on the couch the rest of the night. She was overly fearful and not properly socialized when we got her and Lost Creek has been working their magic. She is excited for morning drop offs and after a couple weeks, I think she’s ready to pack her bags and move in! Her confidence is growing so much and I definitely appreciate the extra help with basic obedience.I’m happy to have found a place that provides all the training options we could need as well as boarding so she feels safe and at home when we are away.

They did a awesome job training Judge. He started listening to me and following around after the first hour of being home. He did really well and class. I feel like he will work out well for his job. The only thing I didn't care for was it took me awhile to get a hold of someone to ask questions and see how he was doing. Other than that I feel like they did and awesome job with Judge.

My husband and I can’t thank Lost Creek enough for all their hard work helping us with our Ellie Sue. The staff are amazing keeping this fur mommas mind at ease leaving her baby. Ellie was enrolled for a six week board and training class. We couldn’t be happier for the progress Ellie has made and will continue to use Lost Creek for any boarding and training needs. Shoot out to Brooke and Austin! Whenever we mention your names Ellie is excited and ready to work!🤣❤️

Absolutely amazing experience with our 5 month lab. After 2 weeks training, she's still puppy but she listens better and acts like a young lady. Austin even schooled us to make sure she continues to develop into the awesome dog we know she can be. Highly recommend!!

I’m thrilled with the progress my boy Darby made in just 6 training sessions. I love how Austin teaches and explains “dog psychology”. It’s so helpful to know WHY he responds a specific way. We go home and practice and Darby loves it! I’ve had so many family, friends, and dog owner friends spontaneously comment on how much better behaved he is. I call our training a great success. Thanks for being so good and patient with both of us!

I have really enjoyed our experiences at Lost Creek!! I love that they really do love the dogs and I don’t have to worry about our pup being taken care of while we are away! They have a great facility that houses a manageable number of dogs! We have had our dog at other places that, in my opinion, take way too many and I have high doubts that they can actually care for them all but with Lost Creek, our dog never comes home stressed out and overwhelmed! He is tired from playing but a happy tired 😁 Also, the staff has been great to work with and very responsive!

I will admit when I first heard the prices, I was hesitant. My thoughts were, do I really want to spend that much on something I'm not sure of. But my dog means the world to me. So, I gave it a shot and boy was it worth every penny. Austin is an amazing Trainer. Not only did he help teach my dog Rex, he also helped me in learning to communicate better with him. Everyone there is extremely kind and insightful. I will certainly be returning to learn more, to better the relationship and understanding with my dogs.Thank you so much Lost Creek, for giving me this opportunity to be a better dog dad!

We brought our dog to Lost Creek for a 5-week training. The staff was very nice and professional. You can tell everyone at Lost Creek really enjoys working with & training dogs. I was really impressed by their staff. We stopped by for a visit and they gave us updates on our dogs progress and in depth detail on what they have been working on. Lost Creek continues to support our dog even after the training. We know if we ever have questions about how to continue to train our dog, they will happily answer them. Our dog showed tremendous improvement after the time spent at Lost Creek and we were instructed on how to maintain this progress. We had a great experience with Lost Creek and would recommend them to anyone.

Austin was awesome with our one year old, his expertise was evident in all the ways our Elly improved her bad manners of jumping on people, her love nipping, her learning to be a great leash puppy. Thanks Lost Creek and Austin.

Never got any certificate, vest collar or training for him handling the dog.My friend was in hospital and the kennel that dog was in tried calling them and they never returned call. Poor

We took our 4 month old German Shephard mix (Kyra) to Lost Creek Training for 4 weeks of obedience training. She is much calmer and minds us better since we brought her home. Brooke, Austin and the rest of the staff took such good care of her while she was there. We are trying to continue the training using the same techniques here at home. Thank you Lost Creek!! 🐕‍

Austin is fantastic! We had a 1-1 with our 12 week old cattle dog who had an enriching experience. He uses positive methods with appropriate ways to redirect. His property is beautiful and he has all the amenities to ensure a proper environment. We can't wait to continue our relationship with him. Training should be enjoyable and Lost Creek makes it so.

We want to give a SHOUT-Out to all our friends at Lost Creek. Gracie always likes to see her human friends at the academy. I would recommend this place for your fur friend for boarding, training and dayschool.

Austin simultaneously trains and teaches both dog and their humans. Answers questions with words and modeling, with amazing results in one session using his vast knowledge, love of animals, and general animal psychology.

Had sage there for 4 week board and train. Had some issues with communication between me and sage. Austin and the team took sage back for couple more weeks and then spent some good time with me to make sure I understand how to communicate properly with sage. Austin and his team seem to really care about making sure you are getting what you want from the training.

One session and my 4 month old Dalmation was doing sit, laydown, and come. They just took Lucky on for training to become a autism service dog for my 7 year old son! Im excited to see the progress as time goes on! He even had a financing option to help cover the expenses! Thank you for your hard work!

The dog got picked up two separate times, she likes to wander around with the cat, we had to post bail both times, the first time is cheaper than the second, which is completely understandable. The ladies at the facility were very kind very supportive of the situation and gave us a lots of ideas on how to contain her and they also gave us a discount on the canine getting chipped

The team at LCTA is extremely knowledgeable & treat the dogs as if they were their own kiddos! Great atmosphere for any experienced or inexperienced dog owner to get tools & information they cannot get anywhere else in our area!

In just 40 minutes Austin worked a miracle with my 10 month old German Shepard who had absolutely no training! He even listens and responds to my 4 year old after only 1 session! Highly recommend his services
