What our customers are saying about First Place Dog Training
and Boarding:
Hello,
I don't know if you remember me, but I purchased a puppy from
you last year. I was so excited to welcome him to our pack,
and couldn't wait for him to be born in March. I name
him Rommel, after The German Field Marshall of WWII. First
of all I want to thank you for truly blessing me with
an outstanding and wonderful dog. There isn't a day
that goes by that I am so glad that he's a part
of my life. He is also a head turner, he is a
HANDSOME boy, or as I call him "Little Man." Please
let me know what days work best for you. From my heart I
thank you for your love of this breed and how wonderful your
dogs are. Rommel has enriched my life in everyway.
Thank you! Leah Sullivent, Zion Illinois
We are currently in the beginning obedience, and we love the
class! I want to make sure we have a spot for intermediate!
I am so thrilled to have Vince for a trainer. I am looking
forward to keep on training "Maddie". Aimee

Hunter and I have had a blast in class. He gets so excited
just getting in the car to drive over to First Place. He
is really getting the basic commands and is becoming such a
very well-behaved dog…… Jeff Barnes
The instructors were great! Mandi enjoyed the classes….
Great establishment and instructors. Keep us the fine
work. T. Erickson
I cannot thank you enough for all of you help with Nellie
she has become such a delightful dog thanks to your comments
and suggestions. We thoroughly enjoyed class and look
forward to seeing you at the upcoming classes…… Hilary & Nellie
Thank you, thank you, and thank you! Words cannot express
how grateful we are. You have accomplished what we thought
was impossible with Max in your drop off training boot camp. Max
will have a long happy life with us because of you… K.

Vince answered all of our questions, and talked to everyone
that was picking up their dog at the same time. Jack
now has his manners. Brian W.

a mistake and what I should do instead.

my bad behaviours as examples and showed me how to fix it. Sharon

Downs seemed to be much better, also I notice better heeling
when we do walking, also Paulie now deals with distractions
when I walk him in the neighbourhood. Marion P.

Rebel and I were taught how to deal with separation
anxiety. Great customized training! Gave
me tips for a “Big” dog. Jason & Heather C.
The instructors were all fantastic. It was great when
they would walk around and give us tips… The question
and answer time at the end of class was helpful…. All
of the instructors were very friendly and professional. I
was impressed with the program and I hope to do the intermediate
class as well…… Shannon Martin
What I liked most … that there were lots of distractions
with other dogs to keep our dog on task…Vince gave us
lots of great tips! Our dog is a new dog….We loved
the class. Wyse & Otis

were very helpful and appreciated… B. Stelmach
Great improvement in Guiness. We
had a class elsewhere before ….Thank
you so very much, we look forward to the next course. D. & P.
Leroy
Penny’s doing great…and “staying” when
asked like in front of a door. I liked the instructions
and quiet atmosphere, and the opportunity for questions about
problems and hearing the answers. Thank you Vince for
training ME! My first dog so I knew nothing.
R. Thomson
…but mostly we liked the manner of training. It
was more focused on “train the trainer” than the
dog…..steady and helpful about explaining what to do
for the dog and owner. Always gave the extra help when
needed. S. Olofson
He made sure I was teaching my dog properly. Love the
class. T. Basile

in the future. Vince was very patient, informative and
generous with his time. B. Noll

one we attended…… You have good instruction
techniques, good instructor(s) and lots of common sense
techniques. S. Wilford
Vince is fantastic! The best training course
we’ve every taken, and we’ve
taken a lot. Thank you, The Hochstetters.
Our dog is so much better after your doggie
bootcamp. We
can eat dinner without interruption, he behaves and sits when
other dogs walk by the house now. He listens to us and
follows our commands. Can you train our kids like this?
I enjoyed watching our dog Rocky learn basic obedience while
in the presence of other dogs. Rocky improved in all
the basics. I really like that we learned manners and
not tricks (paw, rollover, etc.) A Koczol
We enjoyed watching Marley get better every week. We
all learned a lot of basic commands. Marley took your
2 week in house boot camp and his progress in incredible! J & M Buechner
I learned a lot, Vince covered so many different behaviors,
problems and general training. It was nice to have large
group because people brought up different questions. Our
dog is listening & behaving better. She doesn’t
bolt out the door anymore, ….it was great. R.
Vezeau
I really appreciated Vince taking Buddy in and he has helped
my dog a lot with his aggression. D Drummond
Thank you for teaching me to understand how dogs think. This
has helped me to train my Doberman. She is doing great.
I enjoy the interaction for me and my dog. … In
fact, we come from Hanover Park each week because I believe
this is the best facility and staff around…T. Noe
You have such a good understanding of the dogs and I have
referred you to the breeder. He sends several up north
per litter to you for the Plano area. T. Wilk
I loved your class. He’s improved with barking
and especially respect toward people. T Krainatz
