Dog Training Services
Board and Training Programs
This is our most effective course. This course requires your dog to stay with the Trainer for the length of the course chosen. Your Dog will receive training through the day, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. In this time we teach your dog Basic Obedience while also concentrating on specific issues you may be having with your pet.
Dog must be over 5 months old
If you feel like your dog can benefit from this, contact us by email or finish our form to begin.
Private Lesson Programs
Private Dog Training Lessons are convenient, informative and help your dog progress at a quick pace. When you want to have the best training environment for both you and your furry companion, The Valleys Dog School is a great choice. We work in a neutral environment to see the true personality of your dog, and provide efficient training to rectify any significant challenges. With some dogs, getting them out of the home can make a world of difference.
The key to getting the most enjoyment out of the relationship between a dog and the owner is to establish trust, direction and authority. While some owners may feel that they direct their dogs in an efficient manner, their behavior when placed in certain situations may say otherwise. If you feel like your dog can benefit from this, contact us by email or finish our form to begin.
about
the trainer
With over a decade of experience working with and around dogs, she now understands that, like humans, dogs have unique personalities and do not all respond to the same type of training enforcement, this realization has lead her to found CBowdens Valley Dog School, a a school for training canines and their owners to use many different approaches to training.

My daughter and I brought our Yorkie, Remmy, for the Obedience Lifestyle Program with Carly. I was immediately impressed with Carly's extensive knowledge and with her guidance we made tremendous progress with Remmy. In just five weeks we have a much more manageable 6 month puppy. I highly recommend Training with Carly!

We have a new Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy, Darby, and started working with Carly almost immediately in private one-on-one training to establish a good foundation. Darby has completed Puppy Basics, and we have started on Basic Obedience to build on what he has already learned. He is progressing so nicely! Carly has been exceptional - she is a knowledgeable, dedicated, and talented professional. Always encourages you and listens closely to your goals. I thoroughly enjoy our sessions and highly recommend Carly. She's fantastic!

We just started our second round of training for Bodhi at CBowdens Valley Dog School! I can't say enough great things about Carly. It's crazy to see how fast our pup is picking up commands. I love knowing that we will have a dog that understands what we expect of them and listens to simple commands. Carly's prices are great and just a basic class (3 sessions) taught our girl SO much. I can't wait until our next session!!

I cannot say enough about how grateful we are for Carly! Our 12 week old wiggly bullmastiff puppy reminded us of a goldfish when we dropped her. Seven days later she came back a well mannered, attentive, and gentle young lady. Carly gave not only Ellie an excellent obedience foundation but fully equipped us with the tools my son and I need to support Ellie as she grows and learns going forward. Ellie will be going back for a three week intensive as an adolescent to take things to the next level. Carly is a must for all new and even seasoned dog owners - she truly has a special gift.

I can't say enough about how pleased I am!
When I left Lucky with Carly, he was not much fun to take on a walk. He pulled on his leash and went crazy whenever he saw another dog.
Now our walks are very pleasant, very little pulling and much more polite to other critters!
The true test was Wednesday when I took him over to my Daughter's house. After some advice from Carly about how to introduce Lucky to her dog, I was amazed!! They got along very well and became good friends.
I adopted Lucky in May. He is a 6 year old Cairn terrier mix and I was afraid he was pretty stuck in his ways. Carly said she thought she could help him and she sure did! So you really can teach an old dog new tricks!
Thank you so much Carly! I would highly recommend you to anyone!

Omg!!! Carly is amazing. My Bella was with her for 3 weeks. She did an amazing job with her. Miracle worker she is. Bella was a hyper crazy dog that did not listen and chewed on everything. I can say Bella is not the same dog. I find myself wondering where is my crazy dog. She is a smart girl. Who knew she would catch on so fast. I would recommend Carly to someone. Carly is very talented and knows exactly what she is doing!!!!
Thanks!!!'
