My 8 month old mini goldendoodle LOVES this place. It is the most fun environment for dog training I've been a part of, without costing a couple thousand dollars. It has a large play and training area for him to explore and run around in. All the excitement of the space also lets us practice his skills when other exciting things are happening. In a very short time, he's made great progress on come and leave it, and also stopping and sitting when he's in the middle of play. I'm looking forward to going through all the classes to build strong trust with my pup and build his good manners with all the fun play time!
Dina BLuna and I had so much fun at our first obedience training session today! Esmeralda and Jennifer are the absolute best and genuinely care about the pups that come in for training. I can't recommend Mollie's enough and we'll definitely be coming back.🙂
Ryan DuplantierMollie’s Place has been an answer to prayer for my dog Cody and I. Finally, Waco has a training facility that works around my crazy schedule! The trainers only use positive training methods. Learning is at Cody’s pace. I have been training Cody as a Service Dog for over 3 years now. Cody loves playing and learning at Mollie’s Place and so do I. Mollie’s Place has become a community for like minded dog lovers.
Marla SandersCopper and I had a blast! I love that the training space is larger than what you get a pet stores. I love the easy scheduling also!
Krystal MichalWe love Mollies Dog Place! The physical facility is beautiful and is very comfortable to train and play. We have two young mini Aussies that are having a ball learning new things!
Mandi DuPuyGoing to Mollie’s Dog Place is Oliver’s favorite time of the week! The studio is spacious and amazing with a wide array of tog treats and toys and the sweetest staff. Oliver has learned so much in just a few weeks. We can’t wait to see what’s next!
Katlyn Abel Smith I started going to Mollie’s on day 1 and knew it was the perfect place for us. Esmeralda is amazing- very kind and intentional. She listened to our needs and goals for our dog and has set a pace that works for us. You don’t just feel like a customer, you really get to know everyone there and they treat you like family while maintaining professionalism. This place is for you- literally. It is about your goals, your schedule, and your dog!
For reference: I have a 10 pound Schnoodle and her classes are cheaper than Petco and Petsmart, with better quality! They have a wide open indoor area with plenty of space for playing and training. There is also a convenient outdoor area for potty breaks as well! And if I need to further convince you, there is a Baylor Student discount!
