    Been coming here a little over a year and I love it so much. Well worth the 30 minute drive for me from the city. We mostly do dock diving and agility, and its such a great, clean, spacious, well-built facility for those sports. The community here is unmatched as well, especially the dock folks. Highly recommend!!

    Our family started going to Premier in September 2023. We now refer to it as Our home away from from home. My 12 year old loves attending Rally with Kim G. She started in Novice and has made her way to Advanced with her Rottweiler Charlie. With her new addition Baby Haze she wanted to expand her handling skills and try something different so she attended Therapy dog class with Lena. She is currently awaiting November 7th to start agility as they added a new class geared towards children under 18 to learn the sport.As for myself, you can usually find me in the Pool Room. Either in a lesson with one of there 4 amazing instructors, renting the pool to work on stuff, or attending Dock League both Monday and Wednesday evenings. When I started out with my one Rottweiler I never thought a year later Id have three in League. My daughter has also enjoyed this as well and they make her feel comfortable learning something new.The people are amazing between all the other clients and instructors. Shelley and Don thank you for this amazing facility to enjoy, learn, and grow with our four-legged family members!

    While we’ve only been to PDS twice, there’s no going wrong! between the friendly staff, beautiful facility & stellar events PDS is every dog lovers dream

  • Review 4 (2024-03-27 - Rating: 5)

    Premier Dog Sports, or PDS as us loving clients like to call it, has had a profound impact on the dog sport and training world in Western New York. I would be remiss if I did not leave a review for a dog training facility that is truly like no other.When I first learned about PDS being built and finding out it would be just a few short minutes from my house in Lancaster, I could have never dreamed of a more perfect opportunity for anyone to try to something fun and engaging with their dog(s!).At once I found myself at this amazing facility two times a week, and thats probably peanuts compared to those who regularly attend performance events here on the weekends as well. It gave me incredible opportunities for me and my dogs to try anything and everything we wanted. Agility, Trick, Rally, Competitive Obedience, and we even utilized the swimming pool for a lesson despite my dogs not being a fan of swimming. I have referred so many friends and colleagues of mine to the point where they started puppy obedience classes there and have moved up into fun agility and foundations for agility classes. That doesnt even cover other opportunities for scent work, conformation, fit dog, CGC classes, and even dock diving!I also *cannot* miss the opportunity to point out the amazing and creative backdrops at the entrance that change monthly. Theyre a great photo opportunity for events, but I have always been excited to know whats next every month to get a good shot of my pups.Don and Shelly are amazing, and they have a great team of instructors behind this true force of an impressive small business. I cant thank them or the instructors enough for giving me such a breadth of opportunities to learn, especially Lynn, Kim, and Cara. Dog owners should not take this place for granted and need take a step into this breathtaking facility, especially knowing theyre adding more improvements for opportunities. Its a surefire way to know the people running the business not only know what theyre doing, but care about the experience theyre making for dogs and their owners when you feel the buzz of excitement the moment you enter. I cant help but smile every time I walk into and out of PDS after a class or trial. There is an energy here that is positive and uplifting and thats what dog facilities (and clubs) need. I have always felt welcome and have always had a chance to bond with people in my classes over our love of dogs and more. What has always been at the center of this is our dogs and our connections, and PDS fosters that in leaps and bounds.This place is the total package and not something Ive ever seen or heard of at this scale in the dog community before. If you want to build the right connection with your dog, you cannot miss what I believe is the crown jewel of dog facilities right here in WNY.Thank you PDS, for being such a force for the dog community!

    Top notch facilities in every respect. My kids use the agility field, the training rings and the pool on a regular basis ( min of 3 nights a week ) and the facility is always:1) impeccably clean,2) the instructors are consummate professionals and3) the owners couldn’t be more helpful and flexible with making the facility assessable.This place is a jewel for anyone wanting to train and grow with their dog.

    Love love love premier!!! Best agility and obedience rings in Buffalo! Now they have dock diving too! They have helped make trialing with dogs so much more convenient as so many clubs have started to host at premier. I love that you can rent the rings to do personal practice and they offer private lessons too! Absolutely recommend!!!!!

  • Review 7 (2023-07-17 - Rating: 5)

    I started agility training here a little under a year ago. I have a reactive dog and I wanted to give him an outlet while creating a stronger relationship. Most places we go are not kind to reactive dogs. I always feel safe here and everyone understands our struggle. I was placed with Maggie as our trainer from day one. She was so patient and understanding that my dog fell in love with her after one class and now cries with excitement when he sees her. She is the best! She even helped us out at our first “trial” over the weekend where we successfully kept reactivity to a minimum and were able to compete. We wouldn’t have gotten this far without her!

  • Review 8 (2024-07-09 - Rating: 5)

    We needed training for our dog, who is reactive to people and other dogs. We joined a class taught by Alicia Barry and she was excellent. Even when our dog barked like crazy and got just a little hyper she continued to help us work with him. He graduated today and he has really shown improvement, and we now have the tools to work with him and continue the progress he has made so far. I highly recommend Alicia and her classes!

  • Review 9 (2024-03-27 - Rating: 5)

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place, the teachers, and the owners! The ability to rent a ring is really helping our agility career, the conformation class is so well run with so much great information, and the pool lessons are also amazing with a truly supportive and knowledgeable instructor. I really cant say enough good things about this wonderful addition to the dog sports community!

  • Review 10 (2024-04-14 - Rating: 5)

    The nicest, most well run dog facility in the US. Shelly and Don and their staff are amazing. They are so welcoming and willing to help with whatever you need.We travel across many states from coast to coast each year and this is by far the nicest facility weve ever been to. They even offer safe and convenient RV parking. We will definitely be back in the future

  • Review 11 (2025-01-04 - Rating: 5)

    Fantastic facility and even better people. Cant rate highly enough!

  • Review 12 (2021-11-14 - Rating: 5)

    Nice show site, good floors. The agility ring is a little too squishy for me but good for the dogs legs. Clean ample bathrooms

  • Review 13 (2024-03-27 - Rating: 5)

    My dog and I LOVE this place! Beautiful and clean facility, and everyone there is always so welcoming and helpful! We love having this facility right in our backyard! All of the instructors and the owners are amazing!💕

  • Review 14 (2024-12-31 - Rating: 5)

    Best place to hold a dog trial!! Spacious, and clean. I take classes there too.

  • Review 15 (2021-06-24 - Rating: 5)

    Beautiful facility! I’ve been a part of the dog Industry for about 8 years now and when going to events or taking classes, I’ve never felt comfortable like I do here. I’ve jumped into two classes with my dogs and the instructors have been friendly, professional and their attention to detail is everything. The highlight of my weeks are my class days. I’ve even signed up to rent out parts of the facility and have had a wonderful time with my friends working our dogs there. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to get active with their dogs.They also held an UKC event recently that was my first one I ever attended with my dog. We had a really great time and it was wonderful to see how many people and dog teams were enjoying the facility together. I’m looking forward to upcoming events and classes and definitely the pool once it’s here!!!

  • Review 16 (2022-11-24 - Rating: 5)

    The best training classes! We have learned so much from the trainers here and are happy with the services here. My #1 go to.

  • Review 17 (2022-11-15 - Rating: 5)

    Awesome experience with both my sessions. Very clean & accommodating facility. Instructors are knowledgeable and take the time to answer any questions. You can tell the owners take pride and are committed to making this the best dog sports & event center in WNY!

  • Review 18 (2024-03-27 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing facility. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly trainers. And the owners continue to make updates and are expanding. My dogs home away from home 🩵🩷

  • Review 19 (2022-05-07 - Rating: 5)

    Ive got a rescue GSD puppy with a great disposition but anxiety issues with new people & places. 4 classes in, & hes already making progress. This is THE place you want to bring your dog to! Instructors are certified & put your pets wellbeing first & emphasize FUN in training, whether for home, community or show ring. These are real dog people who know what theyre about. I will continue going there & wouldnt take my dogs anywhere else!

  • Review 20 (2024-05-13 - Rating: 5)

    Simply the best dog sport training facility I’ve ever seen. Huge, secure, comfortable.

    Always good experiences here. Nice facility with a good crowd!

  • Review 22 (2022-02-28 - Rating: 5)

    Cara Urban is AMAZING. Patient, supportive and kind with both handler and dog. She even offers extra help prior to and after class. I have the utmost respect for Cara in that she recognized I have a hound, understands they learn and perform a bit differently, and ACCEPTED us. Her affection for my puppy was unquestionably genuine. I simply cannot say enough about Cara as a person, trainer and someone who is truly passionate about about dogs and what she does. Cara is truly an asset at Premier! Thank you!!! Kim & Hamilton

    We love Premier Dog Sports! Our puppy went to puppy school with Bonita and we had an amazing time. We hope to be back soon for more classes as their teachers are really amazing.

  • Review 24 (2022-06-02 - Rating: 5)

    Megan is an AMAZING agility trainer! I will not work my dogs with anyone else after doing agility with her. She is brilliant, has so many skills, and LOVES to teach. She will go out of her way for her clients/dogs and it is so very obvious. She makes the environment safe for nervous dogs and always has a great recommendation to help. My GSD was always so anxious and nervous at the previous facility we worked with. It was hard to get him to focus. There were not crates or anywhere for him to decompress between runs. This allows me to walk the course without holding onto my dog too!! Cant say enough good things. I recommend everyone to her!!PS: I never thought we would be able to trial but Kato (my GSD) qualified in both runs that he did in a CPE trial (and got first place!) a few weeks back. I never would of thought that was possible without the help of Megan!!!! :)

I am so thankful to have a facility like this close to home and be able to partake in all the activities it has to offer while being with other awesome dog people. Shelly, the owner, is always helpful and fun to be around too!

    We attend classes and private lessons with Megan- she is incredible. She breaks things down so theyre easy to understand- for us it was like information just started clicking. She meets you and your dog where you are. The sky is the limit when she is your instructor. My girl Lucy has grown so much in agility in such a short time thanks to her awesome dedication. Keep up the great work! PDS is lucky to have such a skilled person on their team.
