Testimonials

I have had dogs most of my life, and have done the "basic" training myself. Usually that would last for a little while, but there were always issues that would pop up- especially the fact that I was NEVER successful in training the "come, down or stay" commands. This all changed for me when I brought a chocolate lab/german shepherd mix named Kassie into my life and found that I was totally out of my league with training! I called Angie and she came to my house and did an initial assessment. Kassie was an Alpha dog-go figure! Angie caters her training to each individual dog-it is not one size fits all. She is patient, firm and kind and she explains to us (usually the ones that are being trained!) the meaning behind so much of what needs to be done. She is a great person and a great trainer. I still call her with questions that might pop up and she always has time to talk to me an answer my question. Kassie graduated her class and became a canine good citizen. I trust her and can take her anywhere, on or off lead. I know that this would not have been the case without Angie's guidance and teaching. I confidently recommend Angie to anyone I know who is looking for a trainer or who has a problem dog. She is wonderful!

I took my dog, Dillon to Angie's obedience class. Due to the excellent foundation he got there, Dillon is now a registered therapy dog.

Angie Falcsik began assisting at my dog obedience classes in 2000. She had a natural way with dogs. She took to dog training very quickly and showed a true affection for dogs. She was a quick study and I certified her in 2003 as a trainer. Angie was especially good at evaluating dogs problems.

She branched out in 2003 to train on her own. She has learned a great deal since first coming to me in 2000, including understanding that each dog has its own unique way of learning and being able to identify what that is. Angie has continued to train dogs using the methods she learned while assisting me. She lets a dog's temperament and body language help her determine the best way to get the most out of a dog and the owners relationship.

Angie and I remain in contact with each other, and I am always at her disposal to discuss whatever challenges that may present themselves when she is training.

My husband and I adopted a 2 year old Doberman from a shelter with little knowledge of his background. He was a handful and obviously not trained. Within minutes, he responded to Angie's training methods. It was not long before she had taken a wild, rambunctious animal and turned him into a calm, obedient dog. He is now obedient, graceful and well behaved, a true pleasure to walk! We are so proud of his obedience and Angie's super natural abilities to train any dog - and people! Not only did our dog learn from her guidance and training, but my husband and I learned as well. We are truly impressed with her skills!

I was not sure what to expect with this class. I was apprehensive about bringing my dog to an advanced class after just having gone through obedience training - but with Angie’s tutelage, he did wonderfully - this class was an absolute blast! I’m not sure who had more fun - me or my dog. I can say this - it certainly was entertaining and great enrichment for my dog. I am so pleased to have participated in this class and have taken away from it something new and entertaining that both of us will continue to use in the future. I highly recommend taking your dog to this class - even if your dog doesn’t prove to be a "tracker" - it is a lot of fun and good stimulation for your dog. I can’t stop telling everyone about it!!!

My hound mix Bella and I took Angie’s Track and Trail class held at Woldumar this summer, and we both learned a lot! Angie really understands dogs and knows how to pace a class so everyone gets what they need. She saw right away that Bella had some natural talent and adapted the exercises to challenge her. In just a couple of hours, we had a new activity Bella and I could do together. All it takes is some clothes that smell like you, a long line, and some special toy or treats. We are excited about our next Track and Trail adventures with Angie!

Attending Angie’s class with my female Springer Spaniel pup taught me how to show her I was in charge, not her. My Springer is adorable and affectionate but loves being in control which played havoc in our household. Angie taught me leadership skills so that I would have an obedient and confident dog. Putting into practice what I learned through her class and in-home training has resulted in a dog I am able to walk thru a park off leash, a dog who watches to see what I want her to do, and a dog who everyone enjoys being around. I look forward to taking additional classes from Angie, as I’ve found that keeping my dog challenged with new activities/skills increases her good behavior.
