dog training in NW Austin/Cedar Park area

[98HornGirl]

I'm shopping around for obedience training for a new dog we just adopted about six weeks ago. We're just looking for a basic group obedience class where we can also get her better socialized, since she's really shy meeting other people and dogs right now. She's really smart and already knows sit and down, it's the staying and coming when called that we're struggling with. I'm really not interested in classes at Petsmart (been there, done that) or board-and-train facilities.

A place/trainer that offers "extras" like additional socialization time and one-on-one training if needed would be great.

I've already spoken with Shannon at Best Friends Training, and I've also left messages for Hearts and Paws and Austin Dog Alliance. Does anyone have any experience with these folks?

Thanks!

I've had great experiences with Hearts and Paws.
I did group classes and doggy daycare with training for my old boxer.

I might get my lab into some dog games other than hunt tests through them.
