WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Erin Schaefer
Chelsea is absolutely amazing! She has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to training dogs! We did the 21-day Good Dog Program and we HIGHLY recommend it to anyone whose puppy or dog needs training. We couldn’t believe how much our puppy learned and how well behaved he was when he came home. She is extremely thorough with explaining how to deal with certain unwanted behaviors - she even does a follow up courtesy lesson to refresh anything you may need. Can’t say enough good things about our experience with Chelsea and First Rate Canine! Thankful for her experience and patience with our Herky!
Shelby McArthur Wingfield
Chelsea is both extremely knowledgeable and professional. She consistently updates a training regimen based on the progress I’ve previously made with my dog. On top of that, she frequently follows up on how I’m doing and seems to really care about her clients. Highly recommend!
Josh Peacock
We had 2 female littermate goldendoodles that we’re just less than a year old trained by Chelsea in the May/June timeframe this year. Our dogs are like different dogs after a few weeks with Chelsea Berger and have retained everything that was taught. We could not walk them on a leash together prior to training and now we enjoy school pickups with the dogs on leash, even with all the craziness of school. They are great both on leash and off leash. Would absolutely use Chelsea again and have recommended Chelsea to friends.
