He has some high-maintenance needs, and we simply don't trust anyone else to care for him the way they do. The training has truly made such a positive difference--not just for our dog, but for our daily life. Even our neighbors have commented on how much they've noticed the change in his behavior, and we've seen improvements that have made everyday life so much more enjoyable. What really sets them apart is how much they genuinely care about each dog. It never felt like a one-size-fits-all program. They took the time to understand our dog's personality, strengths, and challenges, and it was obvious he received individualized attention and care throughout his stay. The support didn't stop when we picked him up, either. Their follow-up has been outstanding. They've been responsive, encouraging, and always willing to answer questions or offer guidance as we've continued reinforcing the training at home. Knowing we have that ongoing support has made all the difference. We've already recommended them to others and will continue to do so without hesitation. If you're looking for trainers who truly care about your dog and are invested in helping both you and your dog succeed, this is the place to go.

Kiko loves it here and I can rest easy knowing that he is safe and being looked after.read more

The confidence, trust, and freedom they helped build between me and my dogs is something I'm endlessly grateful for. This past weekend I was able to take my dogs hiking in the mountains completely off leash with full confidence, and honestly, that kind of experience is priceless. Watching your dogs explore freely while knowing they are safe, responsive, and connected to you is such an incredible feeling. I truly cannot imagine our lives without the staff at Doglando. They have walked alongside us for so many years with patience, wisdom, encouragement, and genuine love for both dogs and people. What they've given us goes far beyond training. They've given us freedom, confidence, and countless memories we never would have had otherwise. Forever grateful for this team!

PLEASE READ IF YOU'RE CONSIDERING THIS FACILITY!…read more After giving my dog a month to readjust, I'm leaving an honest review of my experience. I chose this business because of its reviews and proximity. I explained that my German Shepherd puppy had service-dog potential but I couldn't train him myself due to health reasons. The owner seemed knowledgeable, so I invested over $2,400 for their basic obedience board-and-train. From the start, there were red flags. The contract included extra charges--such as several hundred dollars for potty training--despite those services being advertised as included. They also charged a mandatory $55 bath fee. (This is important later on) During his stay, communication was minimal and our dog rarely appeared on their social media until we specifically requested more updates. At pickup, the trainer demonstrated commands using a prong collar fitted far too loosely and incorrectly. When my puppy hesitated, the trainer harshly snapped the leash, making him yelp, cry, and visibly shut down in fear. Despite this, he continued applying hard corrections until he got up from the ground. After returning home, we discovered they never gave back his collar and he smelled strongly of urine and feces, despite the bath charge. While settling him in after bathing him ourselves, we also found a 5-6 inch injury on his thigh. A vet confirmed it was rope burn and that he also had a staph infection--both of which occurred during his time there. None of this was disclosed to us when it happened or at the end of his stay. Previously, they had refused to give me a tour of their facility. After everything that happened, I contacted animal control to get more information. Anyone considering this facility should know that their animal control records are public and free to request. The reports include dogs dying in their care, kennels covered in feces and urine, roach infestations, unsafe kennel wiring, and reports of dogs yelping like they're being hit. From the notes, it looks like they often refuse access to animal control during surprise visits until they can temporarily clean their facility to meet code. The only positive was that my dog came back with a good heel and place. Nothing else with his training stuck despite daily reinforcements of what they taught him since being back. Cons: Collar not returned Returned dirty and smelling of urine/feces despite bath fee Upcharged for services listed as included Came back with a staph infection Came back with a 5-6 inch rope-burn injury Now fearful of men raising their voices Had to provide all his food/treats (You'd think with board and train, the price would cover that?) Pros: Good heel and place

I am totally devastated with the condition my dog was when she came home from the K9 Training…read moreAcademy/Orlando. Richard was pleasant when we were potential clients and made us feel comfortable leaving our Shepherd in his care. I told Richard that my German Shepherd was skittish and afraid and very leery of men. After the first week I called for an update and his wife was abrupt, sharp and every time I tried to speak, she raised her voice and spoke over me. When I spoke to Richard, I asked for a picture of my dog to see her and they told me there would be a charge for a picture. Richard told me to watch the website and there would be pictures of her regularly. Truth is, they only post pictures of dogs that look happy and my dog, Daisy, was never happy so her picture was almost never on the website. Possibly 2 pictures in 10 weeks? A few weeks later, I got a call that Daisy "broke 2 kennels" and I had to pay for it. I don't believe that happened, Daisy was not aggressive. In the end, they charged me $8,000 for the training, the 2 kennels and an e-collar. I was overcharged for everything but had no recourse, I had to pay. When my dog came home, I took her to the vet because she was alarmingly skinny and more skittish and afraid than ever. The vet put Daisy on Prozac and told me she lost 21 lbs. I shared Daisy's "graduation video" with everyone at the vet's office and everyone agreed that she seems as though she was abused. Richard's training methods may work on some dogs but not all. He was determined to make Daisy comply to his methods and refused to alter, even when she kept losing weight and shutting down. Halfway through her training, he told me she is "stubborn and a bitch and he has had 1 other dog as difficult as Daisy". But even though his methods did not work, he never altered his training methods, and I believe he abused my dog to try and make her comply. He kept Daisy for 95 days, telling me he can't send her home till she "accepts and complies because she is a representation of him". In the end, after 95 days, he gave up. Richard and his wife and children run the business, and I would never recommend him to anyone.

We had a lot of fun learning from Lindsay on how to best train our puppy. Our puppy is beautiful,…read morebut she definitely is a sassy one, and Lindsay helped us teach her how to sit, lay down, stay, and a few other basic commands.

Lindsay is an amazing trainer. I originally met her when I trained my newly adopted puppy (this was…read moretwo years ago) at the beginner's training course. I proceeded to take the intermediate and advanced courses with her as well. She was so easy to work with, so kind and helpful. She later went on to form Down Home Dog Training. I worked with her a few months ago as I enrolled my dog in a week long boot camp training. I had gotten lazy with his training and let him slip into a few behavioral problems. I emailed Lindsay and explain my problems and she came up with reasonable solutions. When my dog, Hermes, came back after the week, I continued to work with the commands he had been taught. He had completely changed his ways and it was great. I now felt more confident about taking him out in public and to restaurants. He also became more manageable on walks. Lindsay continued to text me weeks after the training to make sure there were no problems. And if there were problems, we met up and had private training sessions to make sure I kept everything in control. She is a great trainer, I definitely recommend.

I would strongly recommend against this company and location, unfortunately…read more I attended multiple sessions with my dog last Fall on a routine weekly basis, including Obedience and then several Agility courses once he had graduated to that level. The instructors were all helpful and I loved seeing my dog's progress. We were diligent about attending and practicing. When both my grandfather and mother fell ill and died within 3 months of each other during the holiday season of 2024, I could no longer make the sessions with my dog. Truly they were forgotten during this time of extreme hardship. A couple months later when I could breathe again, I remembered our sessions and went to reserve a class but couldn't because my package had expired. I called and was told that nothing could be done, as this was the policy. These are privately-owned franchise locations, and the owners have the ability to create and revise policies to help their customers - it is their choice to take a customer's money in upfront packages and then refuse to extend any goodwill or flexibility. The classes I attended were rarely full. It would not have hurt their business in any way to allow me to utilize the classes I had already purchased. Looking at other reviews, they have a pattern of treating customers this way. If they had let me use the classes that I bought, I surely would've kept coming and even bought more sessions. But it's not worth it to me to support a business that treats its customers like this.

We have been going to classes since she was just over 6th months old, we were biweekly/weekly for the first year and a half and now we pop in every few months for practice. We did a few private classes to troubleshoot issues and those were very productive and I felt the staff went above and beyond helping my dog overcome her fear of the teeter. The staff is incredible, they are all welcoming, kind and so knowledgeable. They have great suggestions in fixing behaviors and ate always willing to help with different training techniques. I would still go weekly if I could, and I fully plan to take all of my future puppies/dogs here for training and socializing.

I am a proud fur Mom of a 7-year-old standard poodle by the name of Ms. Hunnie…read more Ms. Hunnie was a show dog since she was 5 months old. Once she retired, I noticed that she still had show dog mentality and was very stubborn, especially if she wasn't being shown by her handler. I love my fur baby and I want to continue to enjoy her. I knew that this transition was new to her as well as to us, and I needed help. I didn't just want anyone to help us with this new transition from being a show dog to a loving, obedient, well-trained dog that we can enjoy inside our home and outside of our home. After doing thorough research, we located Elite Professional Dog Training LLC 5001 North Ronald Reagan Blvd Sanford , Florida 32773. We met with the trainer, Laurent Gabriel, and Josh. We watched the interactions with our fur baby, Ms. Hunnie, and they not only won her over but us as well. We decided on the Boot Camp 4-6 weeks, which meant she had to stay. But I will let you know that was very hard as well; however, the staff kept us updated with an update regularly. They even put up with me calling every single day until I became more comfortable. They also sent videos and pictures of her progress regularly. I know this was a long review, but if you love your fur baby as I do, give them the extra love they need to be happy. Thank you, Elite Professional Dog Training

I cannot say enough great things about Wagging Willow and Susan! Have you ever met someone and felt…read morethat they were doing what they were born to do? That's Susan. Her training program is fun, informative, and effective. I first came to Susan after a recommendation from a close friend. My dog Chloe needed some help learning her proper manners. After the very first class I knew we were in good hands. Susan's training is based on positive reinforcement. Chloe passed through the first and second courses with flying colors. She is now in her third course and is on track to graduate with the Canine Good Citizen certification. We recently adopted another dog that needs training and I knew exactly where to go! Ruby has learned so much after only two classes! If you have a puppy or a dog that needs training I highly recommend Wagging Willow. You will have fun with your pupper, learn a lot, and form a deeper bond with your furry family member.

We want to give an extra special shoutout to Susan for the constant tips and advice about food, potty training, and literally anything else we need. She puts in so much extra time and effort. She has truly gone above and beyond our expectations for a dog trainer. I can't imagine a better experience than we've had with Susan. If you have a dog, you need training with Wagging Willow.
