Linda Larson and "Sawyer"
"It taught us how to train our dogs."
Steven Larson and "Winston"
"Class size was quite small, which allowed for optimal learning and lots of individualized attention. Maureen's passion and knowledge of agility is quite obvious - she has high levels of expectations for all of her 'students', regardless of their skill level, which I found very motivating. My dog and I are doing things together that I never thought possible before this class. The facility at Greta's Gym is amazing! You can see that much thought went into planning the gym from the materials used on that amazing floor to the A/C. Love it!"
Terri Miesbauer and "Lucy"
"Leo has turned into a more focused, better listening dog. He really enjoys coming to class."
Colleen Kloehn and "Leo"
"The small class sizes and general dog training info were very helpful in addition to the intro to agility."
Jennie Tomhaue and "Tika"
"I had taken many seminars and practiced at a lot of basic classes, but {at Greta's Gym} gained much knowledge and understanding about handling skills, where to use specific turns, how to support my dog, how to plan a course strategy. We finally became a team and even if we did not Q, I could see where I made errors--We got 2 titles after training here {at Greta's Gym} and we are close to one more! I gained confidence at Greta's I did not have before!"
Karlyn Berg and "Raven"
"The agility classes Denali and I have taken at Greta's Gym have improved our agility skills immensely. Maureen has given us countless "tools to put in our agility toolbox!" and even more importantly has helped facilitate a better working and living relationship between Denali and me. Greta's Gym has given us a warm, safe and fun environment in which to train year round. At Greta's Gym we have access to all obstacles as we will see them in competition and can choose from many open gym hours to fit our busy schedule. We look forward to many more successful hours of training at Greta's Gym and are grateful to have access to this fantastic facility!"
Mariah Anderson and "Denali"

Jan Luke and "Zeus"
"We are consistently reminded how important it is to use the same commands and body language as we train. This consistency has been a huge help for Geena. The use of the "travel board" for teaching contacts was wonderful! I feel Geena truly knows where and how she is supposed to finish a contact obstacle!"
Vicki Holmstrom and "Geena"
"The training {at Greta's Gym} has been very effective for Tom and myself. She {Maureen} corrected us when we were not doing what we should be doing and helped us work through it in a very positive way. When doing the contacts, she {Maureen} reminded me how I wanted to do it with Tom so we could be more consistent. We worked on some distance challenges in a very positive way so I could learn quicker and be more consistent!"
Carla Larson and "Tom"
"It {Greta's Gym} has provided a great place for bringing Thea to train by myself and in lessons. Lessons {with Maureen} have been very helpful in learning new techniques and new skills. It has improved mine and Thea's skills a lot. It is a great facility!"
Meghanne Lowen and "Thea"
"Maureen is an awesome instructor. She gives much encouragement when needed and also lets me know what I'm doing wrong. It takes longer to acquire agility skills than it did when I showed in obedience, but with the training time with Maureen & open gym time, we will be able to compete. Agility is giving Dreamer the confidence to be away from me and we are having fun doing it."
Snoflake King Kokal and "Dreamer"
"This facility is the perfect environment for training my dog. It's exciting to watch my dog gain confidence and drive, as she learns step by step how to be successful on contacts & other equipment. Maureen helped me create a firm, solid foundation before excelling to the next step. I received a lot of individualized attention and learned the importance of keeping training positive and FUN!"
Lisa Jean Koch and "Reyna"
"I have taken agility classes with other organizations, but at Greta's Gym you can truly see how the foundations of agility are so important when creating a dog driven to perform. Grace has gained confidence and developed her skills in class. I have improved my handling skills while learning the importance of a positive handler/dog relationship. Besides the outstanding classes, Greta's Gym is the cleanest, best smelling dog facility I have ever been in."
Jennifer Benedict and "Gracie"
