Buster and Toby's Family
"Trusting someone with your dog is never a small decision, and with Carly, its one we've made twice now. She's cared for our second fur baby, and the experience has been just as incredible as the first.
​
Her knowledge of training techniques is truly unmatched, and its clear in every interaction that she puts her whole heart into what she does. The structure, care, and attention she provides gives us complete peace of mind.
​
We wouldnt trust anyone else. If you're getting a puppy, Carly should be your first call."

"Highly recommend Carly!
She has trained 3 of my dogs in her Board & Train program and has done an excellent job. You won't go wrong with CBowden's Dog Training. Top-notch service and people who care!"

Ted and Stella's Family
"I have taken both of my labs there. My oldest, almost 8 years ago for the private lessons. Carly is an amazing trainer and helped bring out patience in me I didn't know I had to work with Ted. Recently, I got another lab who tested my patience to no end, so I enrolled her in the 3-week board and train. Picked Stella up last evening and first thought Carly was trying to send me home with someone else's dog. She did amazing work and kept me informed over the 3 weeks of her progress. Strongly recommend CBowdens Valley Dog School for any of your needs. Carlys background makes her very knowledgeable with not only training but health needs as well. 5 plus stars if I could."
