Our dog, Wayha would not even allow us to put a collar or leash on him and he was very aggressive. Robert has changed Wayha into a total different dog. We can now take him on walks, ride in the vehicle, he no longer runs to the door when someone knocks or ring the door bell. I would recommend Robert and this company to anyone that needs help training their dog!!! More...

Dog Training in Your Home’s trainer Robert Varney helped train many of our rescue dogs after they were adopted and also a few while they were in foster care to help get them acclimated to life in a home and with other dogs. Robert did everything from house training and leash training to basic obedience and even helped with a number of behavioral issues a few dogs were having. I would recommend Dog Training In Your Home and Robert for any of your dog training needs. Robert is knowledgeable, professional and great with the dogs. More...

I have enjoyed the expertise of Robert at DYIYH for over 15 years, and he has helped my family with four different dogs. His ability to connect with a dog and determine different techniques based on the dog is remarkable. They also always work hard to accommodate my schedule and have even done phone consultations when my daughter and her pup moved out of state. I often recommend this group to others. They know what they’re doing. More...

If you're looking for this company to housebreak your dog, don't look here. All they give you is a schedule for you to take a dog out(which i already had that in place). You can do that yourself. Just go on youtube and save yourself some money. Robert did my evaluation on January 8. I got 6 weeks of training for 1,000, which I'm not satisfied with. When he came out for my evaluation, I specifically stated that my dog needed house broken, and he said we could help with that, but that was a LIE AND THEY DON'T DO ANY HOUSE BREAKING ON DOGS. However, Alora was awesome with doing obedience training. More...

We’ve been working with Stephen on training our GSP puppy Decker and I would highly recommend him! Decker loves his trainer & is always excited for his training sessions. The training itself is practical & easy to understand & the “homework” is reasonable & doable even with our busy schedules. We’ve noticed a significant improvement in Decker’s behavior by rebuilding his foundational knowledge of basic commands & establishing boundaries. The quality of the training we’ve received is unmatched. Definitely hire Dog Training in Your Home/Columbia & request Stephen if he’s available! More...

Julia shoup was a great teacher and very knowledgeable about puppy training. she was very patient and took the time to explain the procedures and steps to ensure that both Annabelle (my puppy) and my family understands the importance of all of us being on the same training techniques. we were provided with a training log and potty log to show we are following the training techniques that we were showed weekly and that we were sticking to a training schedule. I would highly recommend Julia and this company to anyone who needs help with training, I really like the one on one session with Julia and I hated to see my training end. More...

Julia is so great. During our training she's helped my baby yorkie poo learn commands and help learn to potty train. He's so energetic and looses focus quickly but she's been able to help us channel through that and he's doing so much better. Thank you Julia.

Ask for Julia! Our Cedric was so comfortable with Julia from the minute the two of them met. He is a very active mini schnauzer puppy, and he was almost 6 months old when the training began. Cedric can be difficult and quite defiant when he wants to be. Julia took charge immediately, and I was amazed to see how Cedric naturally followed her lead with each of the different practices and sessions. She pointed out things I was doing incorrectly along the way which helped tremendously. Again, ask for Julia! You won’t be disappointed. She loves dogs and is a gem! The only negative thing I have to say is that Cedric and I are going to miss her. ☹️ More...

Julia is great!! She is a newer trainer, but is passionate in what she does. She worked with our VERY HYPER labradoodle puppy, Kai, and he has done amazing! We received a basic 5 week package, and Kai is able to follow all of his commands and some of which we only need to give the hand signal for!! Like with any puppy consistency and practice is key. Julia was flexible with us, answered all of our questions and was easy to get a long with! It truly felt like a friend was coming in the home to work us. Before training Julia Kai was all over the place Now we can set him in place, he can wait for extended periods of time, and slowly learning how to interact and be respectful to other dogs. We have even worked on our own tricks by placing treats on him and asking him to wait!! We love Julia and you will too! More...

I recommend having Julia Shoup to come to your home and train your four legged companion. She treated my puppy with a lot of love in which he gladly returned. Julia provided me great tips to help me to continue enforcing what she taught us in each lesson. She is very knowledgeable about training, good homemade dog treats, and collars. Thanks to Julia, my puppy sits, come, place, down, and walks by my side. My puppy no longer eat my shoes or potty on my floor. I now have a well trained almost 7 month old puppy. Julia was very flexible with us on scheduling training sessions. She is always on time. We love Julia and are very bless to have had her as our trainer. More...

He was able to use commands to get our dog to act as required. He also explained that it was our training that will create the proper behaviors in our pet. He left us training activities to be performed prior to our next session. He answered all of our questions with detailed explanations of how to handle behaviors.

Thank you so much, William! We're glad to hear it went so well for your first lesson :-) We can't wait to see how your dog does with the rest of the program!

We worked with Stephen and he was wonderful: he helped our rescue dog further develop some basic commands and learn more advanced ones. More importantly for us, he taught us how to walk our dog so she won't react to people or other dogs around us. If you complete the program you can also participate in free group classes on weekends that reinforce what the pup and her humans have learned with the trainer. More...

Thank you so much, Carol! We appreciate your kind words, and are happy you had such a great experience with our company :-)

This is our second review for Stephen as our trainer. We wanted to give credit where credit is due. Since we’ve wrapped up our basic training for Sydney, we’ve run into a few post-training behavioral related issues. Stephen has always responded to our calls and has always given us ways to solve the issues. He’s even come back out to our home to assist when needed. Over the last few months, Sydney’s fear of baths has drastically increased. The fear had gotten so bad that when the mobile groomer came to our home, we could not get Sydney in the van. My wife reached out to Stephen and he offered to meet her at a self-wash dog grooming station to start working thru the fears. It took 2 times meeting up to get Syd where she needed to be in terms of not freaking out over the bath process. Today was the second session and significant progress was made. We are now confident that Syd can now endure a bath! Not only are we proud of Sydney for putting a big dent in her fear, but SO THANKFUL that Stephen was willing to take time to go above and beyond to get us to this point. Stephen is a SUPER trainer! DTIYH lives up to their reputation of the Best In Columbia and Stephen certainly drives that honor along. Appreciative for all the help – Gale, Buddy and Sydney More...
