Our dog Moose did the 14 day Board & Train with Sam and we are so happy with the results. We wanted…read morethe focus of her training to be on e-collar obedience and Sam did an excellent job helping her and us learn. We can now take Moose off leash comfortably knowing she will come when called, sit and stay even in busy environments. I feel like we are happier humans and she is a happier dog thanks to Sam's help. The training style used was also based on rewarding Moose with play rather than food or negative reinforcement, which I really appreciate and didn't know much about before. We couldn't be more pleased with the results. Highly recommend Dog Wizard and Sam!

Probably my highest review ever for a service I haven't used yet. hear me out…read more I just rescued a Rat Terrier puppy called Raffi from Texas, who showed signs of abuse and trauma upon arrival. I've parented/known many rescues in the past and never seen anything like the fear she exhibited. fully freaked out, I shot a message to Atlanta Dog Wizard with an SOS to help. Kat quickly got in touch and we had about a 30-min call, which provided me with INVALUABLE insight into my urgent situation. That information she gave me--keep in mind, I had paid no money for her advice or training to this point--gave me some practices I could use, right away, to make Raffi feel more comfortable. I still might officially use Atlanta Dog Wizard in the future, if Kat is any indication how the company does things. She has a passion for rescues and turning around challenging situations and making dogs (and humans) shine. Cannot recommend highly enough.

We called Franck after a year of having some issues with our Beagle related to aggression. It was…read morenever super serious, and since we had some light aggression training in the past, we thought we could handle it on our own. We ended up getting a puppy at the end of 2023 and the aggression issues escalated, sometimes involving the new puppy. We called Franck for the aggression issues and ultimately decided to do full on Level 1 obedience training with him. From the get-go, Franck had complete control of our dogs. During our initial meeting/evaluation, they were complicit in his instructions. It was honestly super impressive - akin to folks you see on TV and how the TV show dramatizes their ability to immediately control an animal. This was the real deal. About a month or so into our training, we had another aggression issue, while it wasn't terribly serious, and we intervened quickly, Franck decided it was best for the dogs to go home with him for a few weeks. We were totally on board - we weren't sure if we had the skills yet to do it ourselves - but we knew he could do it. Within a week we saw a huge change in the dogs in videos he sent us, not only their obedience training, but there was absolutely no aggression with food or otherwise. Franck was also extremely available to answer any questions we had, whenever we had them. That was such a help that we could easily reach out to him whenever we needed assistance. In short, our dogs are impressively obedient now. By far, the best trained dogs I have ever had. Our beagle actually comes to us, when called, with no drama. This dog could not give a crap that we'd call her if she was out in the yard prior to her training. Now, she will come within seconds of us calling her. Both of our dogs are very well potty trained now. Our puppy is a golden retriever, so she has genes that help her with obedience built right in, and she is freaking awesome to work with now, even at just 7 months old. Franck's methods are well researched and backed by a lot of thought and just made sense to us. They're also not difficult - you just need the time and patience to learn and make it happen. Franck is no-nonsense, full of information, has been doing this for a long time, and he was such a pleasure to work with. He was fantastic with both our kids as well as our pups and we couldn't recommend him more!

This review is long overdue but I wanted to let the lessons that we received settle in so I could…read moregive a proper review. It's true that we learned more than our MaltiPoo. When we followed Franck's methods she caught on much faster than we did! Franck started training her when she was all of 3 months and 3lbs! I'll admit that I was extremely skeptical at first. I was afraid that using the prong and e-collar would cause aggression, fear, or alter her personality in some way. Let me tell you...it didn't in the slightest! I've only seen her become more trusting and loving. She's basically a Velcro dog at this point. Lol! Getting her properly trained at such a young age was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I can't tell you how many times I've been complimented on how well behaved she is...ESPECIALLY for a toy size breed. I can take her anywhere because she's so well behaved and sweet. She's outgoing and friendly to everyone she meets. She's such a well adjusted pup! More than anything we've gained confidence as dog owners and it's great to know that Rain has a trainer for life should we ever need him. It was a pretty big investment but on the other side of things I consider it money well spent!

I thought I'd give a fair objective review of Master Christian…read more Firstly, I find it obligatory to mention that I did not pay Master Christian. I first spoke with Master Christian on 8/24/19. I had a perculliar situation, as I'm not from the area. I was looking to buy a dog in his area, I wanted to use his services because: He's an unbiased 3rd party He could train the dog to understand commands, making my ownership easier He could facilitate recieving a dog to ensure that I do not get scammed on a trip to pick up a dog. Here's a few points where Master Christian failed: He gave several opinions which materially was false. He mentioned that his consultancy rate was $100 an hour, not to mention that he was literally driving or out and about the times that he called me. He mentioned that he emailed me a 'contract', a contract that he admits was a lazy contract with no specific details. When I repeatedly asked for the contract to verify price and details, he mentions that he sent it, but it was never received, no proof was ever sent of him sending the email. When asked specifically if his deposit would be returned if the dog never shows up, he explains that it would not. He mentions that he would take credit card as a form of payment, but would need to charge 8-10% to cover taxes. Events: We had 5 calls with each other that lasted 20, 5, 9, 5 minutes long each respectively. Our first call was to figure out his services, and describe the situation I was in. He mentioned that his services would cost $1250 for a 14-day advanced obedience training, and an extra $50 for materials. The following calls was to exchange details about a potential drop off. Our last two calls were specifically of him asking for a $200 non-refundable deposit. When I mentioned that I wanted things to be set in stone before I paid him, he wanted to assure me of something that would end up not happening. I sent the seller and him a short 1-page contract via email, I requested pictures, unique identfiers, pictures of the dog, and timeline for delivery and action items. In our 5th and last phone call, he mentioned that he skimmed the document, it was clear in the remainder of our conversation that it was a lie. My conclusions about Master Christian: Master Christian makes or alludes to guarantees that are not guarantees so that he can get paid. Master Christian will actively decieve you by saying that he's done things that he has not and are rather consistent and highly difficult to forge (sending emails). My opinion is that he is lazy (never did a 1-2 minute read of an email to detail the delivery) Speaks of things he is unknowledgeable about, and tries to gouge for more money. Use him if you want, he probably does the job just fine. I don't have any first hand account of any of his primary services, but it is obvious (to me) that he is willing to say anything to get your money.

Jonathan was able to come over and spend time with me and my Dog and do an assessment. He was as kind and professional as could be. He has a depth of knowledge about how and why dogs behave the way that they do. He was patient with both me and my Dog. Jonothan also served as an expert witness in the eviction case my landlord brought against me. He was an expert on my behalf. He took the witness stand and spoke with great clarity and expertise about how and why my dog is the way he is. I could see the jurors nodding in agreement with his professional and in depth observations. Jonathan was so generous with his time and his expertise. He is a teacher and an advocate and someone who is committed to doing right by people and by dogs. He was a really great addition to a team that helped me win my case. After the jury came back in my favor and the case was over we were allowed to ask the jurors some questions. They all were impressed with Jonathan's clear and fact-based analysis. If you want or need someone to help you learn more about why your dog acts a certain way who can communicate clearly with knowledge and integrity than Mr. Shahor is a great person to call. I'm very glad that he was on my side. Thanks, Jonathan!
