About Fuzzy Logic Dog Training

Training on a historic Farmville farm

Fuzzy Logic Dog Training is at Airy Green, a farm at 386 Ligontown Road about 8 miles from the center of Farmville and Longwood University. Its building is the first one on the left. Training is offered in private sessions and occasional small group classes on site, or virtually over Zoom.

Private training and classes

Private training is sold as single sessions or packages of 4 or 10, and clients book their own times online. Group students start with an Intro to Dog Training session and then book Basic Manners classes. The school asks for a flat collar in class and provides a clicker.

Who trains

Owner and head trainer Merissa Dubraque-Kreidler lists CPDT-KA, Karen Pryor Academy (KPA-CTP), Certified Control Unleashed Instructor and Certified Canine Massage Therapist credentials. She specializes in behavior modification and competes with her own dogs in rally, obedience, agility, scent work and other sports. The team says it works with veterinarians and veterinary behaviorists on behavior cases.

What to ask

Ask whether your dog suits a group class or should start with private sessions, and which package size makes sense.
