We have a whole new dog because of AADO! Our puppy was a rescue and had some reactivity challenges. The trainers at AADO are incredible at what they do and their knowledge of dogs behavior and training is top-notch. We have taken several classes from them and continue with their weekly obedience classes. Our puppy is now a joy and no longer doing all the crazy stuff she was doing. read more

Very knowledgeable well organized group dog trainers. Completely covered arena for training.

Rob, Brandy, and Taylor are the best behavioral experts for their dog clients I've ever met. And they love their clients. My Barney was a rescue. A mess. And after trying to train him myself and having been to several other places I was a mess too. When I put myself and Barney in the hands of All About Dog Obedience happy changes began. And improvement. And Barney and I are no longer messes. We love going to their group classes. Barney is now having so much fun with other dogs. It's amazing. Put yourself and your animal companion in their hands and you won't be disappointed. read more

All about dog obedience is a fantastic dog trainer and boarding. I cannot even begin to describe how great they are, my review would give them no justice. This is a family run business, they are extremely professional, organized, and kind. They love all the dog's and honestly treat each and every one as if it were their own. The main trainer the husband is not only an incredible human being, but he's a fantastic trainer who has an unbelievable amount of knowledge with regard to animals. His wife and daughter share just as much knowledge and are both incredibly kind and loving individuals. You can tell how much they love what they do and how much they love your animals. The pricing is absolutely fair, and in my opinion, I would be willing to pay much more for the same services. They have done so much to help my dog. I cannot begin to thank them enough. Please do your research and give this business an opportunity to help you with whatever situation you're in I promise you you will not regret your decision. Be very patient with them as they are extremely busy and sometimes it takes a while to get back to you but it's worth the wait. read more

I have nothing but good things to say about AADO. I have a young heeler with A LOT of energy. I was so unsure how to redirect him and felt so helpless and hopeless when it came to him. I was told about AADO from my aunt who takes her dog there so I decided to book him a consult. Ever since he has been going there I, along with friends and family, have seen a huge difference in my dog. I take him there for daycare, bootcamp, group classes, and boarding. When I board him I get updates and during daycare he comes home with art work! Robert, Brandy, and Tayler LOVE what they do and they give my boy the love he deserves while he is there. My dog loves them as well as he starts to notice where we are going when we turn onto the property and greets them with very happy barks! As long as we are local, there is no where else I will take him! read more

We love All About Dogs! We've been taking our dogs there for a couple of years now. We've done training, daycare and boarding and have no complaints. They are great with the dogs and always provide guidance when I have questions on how to handle different circumstances that we face. Rob and Brandy are always happy to see the dogs at drop off and come around to say hello during training. they have definitely helped us feel like we can comfortably handle our (2) 70+ lb dogs, which was our goal. read more

All About Dog Obedience is outstanding. I can't say enough good things about Rob, Brandy, Tayller and their staff. We adopted Bodie from the Placer County Shelter 10 months ago. He had been surrendered twice before finding his forever home. He's smart, high energy, and eager to learn, but doesn't get along well with other dogs. After his AADO evaluation, we enrolled him in Boot Camp. Within a couple days he was socializing with all the other dogs. Within a couple of weeks, he was attending classes. He's made huge strides in a short amount of time. It's obvious how much AADO loves the dogs in their care. Bodie is thriving. He gets excited every time we pull into the parking lot. He can't wait to greet his friends - both the 4 legged and the 2 legged. Tayller is by far his favorite. Our only regret is not coming to AADO sooner. A neighbor recommended them months prior to us making the call. We still have a lot of work to do, but in a short time, Bodie has been transformed into a calm, confident, well mannered dog who consistently receives compliments from friends and neighbors. His progress is evident to all who know him. I highly recommend AADO. read more

Robert trained our two unruly dogs and they are doing so well. Well worth the time and money.

I love this family run business and they really love dogs. A great bunch of people and staff are super nice. They are always willing to help, it's not easy to run a board and train facility, but it's the love for dogs and the family togetherness that I like about them. read more

It's such a pleasure to do business with great people. And that's what you get here. All About Dog Obedience is run by the very best kind of people: hard working, friendly, knowledgable, helpful. Our dog Daisy has benefitted from her days at AADO, hanging out with other friendly dogs and just doing dog things under the supervision of people who really understand and love dogs. And we appreciate the weekly dog-free day. It's a win win for sure! read more

Best decision to take our golden retriever here when he was a puppy last year. He loves their weekday boot camps and weekend training classes! Of all the places out there, All About Dog Obedience lets the dogs play and have fun outside of the kennel more than any other place we toured. Rob, Brandy, and the girls treated our dog like it was their own. So much love + consistent training. We recommend them to everyone. (We also are thankful for their rattlesnake-aversion class!) read more

Our GSD Bodey is HUGE and can be difficult. We regularly enroll him in Boot Camp. He gets good marks for his behavior, which has caused me to ask if we are referring to the same dog. All of the people are very competent, directive, and steady, which creates a very secure environment for Bodey and his people. They are also caring and helpful. Brandi's and Rob's professionalism really makes it all work. We are very grateful that this resource is available to us. read more

We left our pup here for a week while we went on vacation! He was super nervous and afraid when we dropped him and his crate off as never slept over night anywhere! But he had been going to daycare a few days a week leading up to our vacay to get to know the staff! The staff sent me daily updates as I was a worried dog mom and even sent me a video of him running around! By the time we picked him up he seemed comfortable in the environment! They eased mine and our pups nerves, next vacation he will definitely stay here again! It takes so much stress off of us knowing our pup is in good hands while we are away! read more

I've been going here for about a year and a half and I would not let another soul train my dog. They are a family business and care a lot about your pups. They're realistic and down to earth. There's a large arena to train the dogs versus a 6ft by 6ft crate inside a pet store. The dogs are trained obedience and how to "talk" to each other peacefully. Some dogs may need more work, but all dogs are worth the effort. No dogs are harmed here! Ever. Also, they do fun dog parties, fundraiser for CHP and are reasonably priced. read more

we have been training with Robert and Brandy for five years. the approach is lovingly treating each dog individually as per their needs. Disapline with love tenderness and care! we are very happy and love the Rattle Snake training, the Halloween Party, Christmas Ugly Sweater party and the other outings. For a well trained dog, well trained dog parent, no better place! read more

We have been at All About Dog Obedience for over a year and I thought it was high time to write a review.. They're amazing! We have two German Shorthaired Pointers.. dogs we were told by others are the "Crack adicts of the dog world".. And they really are.. but we love them. AADO has been a huge asset to us and them. They love going, Rocco, our 90 lb puppy is incredibly obedient and gentle now. And, Harper, our 8 year old recovering puppy mill mama, is just such a happy, lovely, confident soul. Both have totally different needs. Rocco needs a strong hand and consistency and Harper is more fragile and required a lot of careful love and attention at the beginning. Now they both jump out of the car with tails wagging going to see their friends at school. Brandy is amazing - you see her with a crowd of dogs and they are all listening and Rob is incredible at instruction - the dogs get it immediately. No yelling or drama just focused and clear instruction. We take our dogs off leash all the time and they stay close and listen. We are looking forward to doing more training ourselves to be better puppy parents and keep the training going for them. So needless to say, if you need a training resources that really is "All about the dogs!!" this is it. I highly recommend them and we will be participants life long for them. read more

We took our 1 year old Cocker Spaniel to Rob & Brandi. When we took him he would bark aggressively at anyone who would come close to the car. He was also a Covid pup so he was not very socialized. We had him complete the 6 weeks on site boarding classes. When we came back after the six weeks we had a much well behaved cocker spaniel. He was not barking at everyone, he was very well behaved. We will continue to take classes with him to keep him fine tuned. Love that they have day camps too. I would highly recommend All About Dog Obedience. Everyone there is hands on and very helpful on getting your dog where you need him to be. Our home is so relaxing now. A lot less barking, no nipping, and plays easy with our Maine Coon now. Thanks to everyone who got our Cruz where he is now. See you in class soon. read more

After a horrible experience with a different board and train place AADO came highly recommended by a client who had worked with Robert previously in a different career. I was in tears explaining my concerns and nerves with my previous experience, both Robert and Brandy calmed me down and reassured that my pup was in good hands. After a couple weeks of 2-3 boot camps Brook-Lyn and I were ready to start group class. My dog and I have been coming here for a year now, she loves to do the work and is making dog and human friends weekly. I can't believe the difference AADO has made with her and I. I would be lost without them! read more

I can't say enough great things about the trainers and environment at All About Dog Obedience! Our GSP has been going there since he was 4 months old (he will be 2yrs in two weeks), and he is the happiest and best behaved pup we've ever had. We bring him every week, and our pup gets so excited when he sees where we are heading. We recommend All About Dog Obedience to all our friends and family. read more

I called for inquiry on training for new my puppy 12 days ago no call back had to text the person finally a response on text only 4 days ago (9th day) THEY NEVER ANSWER PHONE AND LUCKY TO GET A TEXT!! ok past set aside moving forward person said they make a call appointment for me at 2pm i waited sat waited more, 4pm flys by a new text says im busy with another appt 5pm comes she finally calls (1st call ever day9) im outside she never called back rude unacceptable disrespectful behavior do you really want your family member beloved pup/dog to go here? if they disreapect humans you can only imagine how they will treat your dog save yourself the headache and grief and time look elsewhere!! If you call do not believe the message how they will fall you back in 24-48 hrs then end of message with God bless he has nothing to do with it read more

They must not want new business. Trying to get through to set up an appointment was several days of wasted time sending emails back and forth. I was offered a time slot on a specific day via email and I responded two hours later confirming I would take the appt. and didn't hear back until the next day (email again) saying that "we filled that spot". Seriously? Not a good way to run a business. Completely unprofessional - as were the emails back and forth. Very robotic in response, etc. who knows since it's a family business- it's probably the kids managing the emails- it certainly seemed that way. I wish I could give you zero stars. I look forward to spreading the word on this facility to my LARGE network of staff at the local hospital I work at in Roseville, as well as my groups I belong to in my area. If you don't want business / new clients I will GLADLY help you along the way with that. Frustrated, that same day, I reached out to a highly recommended private trainer who does individual and group sessions and guess what?!?! I got a response that same day and set dates for my dogs training. Common courtesy is not rocket science. After reading the other low star reviews - this place does not seem like the safest environment for your dog. read more

Robert and Brandy are amazing! The way the entire staff works with the dogs and owners makes training easy and fun. I'd highly recommend going to them with any and all breed of dogs. read more

I first learned about, All About Dogs Obedience when my sons dog, Nitro needed serious behavior help and was referred to them. Seeing his dog change into a confident well behaved dog in no time convinced me to put my own dog Scooby here to help with leash pulling and obedience. After 6 weeks, we were good to go! I now have another dog, Lexi, here in training, and again couldn't be happier. Robert and Brandy are right there helping and guiding you, always showing love and affection to all the dogs. My dog always looks forward to training day. We also use the day care they offer. It's a safe and loveing place, where never have I worried if my dog was in good hands. They even do house visits when needed. The one-on-one was extremely helpful! Robert was able to see the behavior we were having issues with, and helped us with hands on guidance and explanations of what we were doing right, and what he was seeing us doing wrong. I highly recommend All About Dogs Obedience to anyone looking for a wonderful, knowledgeable, loving trainer. Whatever your pets issues, there is help. read more

Absolutely outstanding dog obedience center! Well run, very clean and organized and amazingly knowledgeable staff.

Last year we had an energentic german shepard puppy adopt us. After the first couple of weeks we thought maybe we were crazy to adopt a puppy, and wasn't quite sure what to do. It was truly a gift when we learned about All About Dog Obedience. Roxie has been involved with training, puppy classes, boot camps, and weekly training for over a year. To say she is high energy and has a huge drive would be an understatement, but with caring training, she has become a delightful and loving member of our famiy. People are so amazed with her, and they ask how do you do it, and I always reply with the same answer Let me share Rob and Brandy's phone number. This review is overdue, but is well deserve, Thank you again for loving on our baby. read more

Rudest experience of my life ( I am 74 if that tells you something. ) Owner has a short fuse and is more interested in money than dogs, I can only imagine the stress and tension the staff has, not a place i want to in trust my furry family member too. If you have to go there don't ask questions and have your money in plain site, he will throw you out. read more

I was recommended to AADO after my friend's mini Aussie doodle's behavior was completely improved through their training. He was a different, well-mannered, obedient dog. I was impressed, so as soon as my new puppy was old enough, she went for an evaluation and then I dropped her off for 3 doggie Bootcamps. I absolutely love the way they introduce the dogs to the commands, gear, facility and other dogs. Because of the "pre-work" as soon as we walked into the first in-person training class, my pup already knew how to do everything and I was the one catching up! We've taken 3 in-person classes, and I know how to work on our two biggest issues, pulling on the leash and jumping up on people. Rob, Brandy and the entire staff clearly know what they're doing, love all dogs and are so so worth it! I'm going to continue taking her to classes to learn off-leash and continue bonding with my pup. I would love some trick class options too. Thank you guys!!! read more

Rob and Brandy are simply the best! I was an anxious mess when I first started taking my reactive Australian Shepherd to training. They were both very helpful in setting my mind at ease and providing me and my dog both the training we need to have a better relationship and to help my dog have a happier life. We've been attending daycare, bootcamp and class training for about a month and I've already seen a huge improvement in my dogs attitude. Thank you so much All About Dog Obedience. read more

I hope they enjoyed the $ we spent there in the past. They are incompetent and RAF. We won't be back. Their employees did not follow the check list and the owner was rather unpleasant about the matter blaming us for the missing items. We aren't allowed to get out of the vehicle so how do we know they didn't get what they were supposed to ? Why didn't they follow the chekclist ? Our dog had an upset stomach for 3 days after coming home now I know why she'd put the brakes on and didn't want to go in there. Never again. Too rude and I don't know what they did to my dog but she was not herself for a few days and even peed inside the house for the first time in 5 years. I get it now why the breeder I know is suing him. I'd thought she was over the top and now I get it. read more

We sent our dog there for five weeks to board and train. Best money we have ever spent. He was a very loving but difficult puppy. With their guidance we have a wonderful well behaved dog that is great at home and in public. We attend classes a few times a month to keep him learning the finer points of obedience. When we were forced to evacuate our home due to wildfires the staff couldn't have been more understanding. The owners made accommodations on a seconds notice to take him in and were exceptionally supportive. Due to our unfortunate circumstances they refused any payment when we picked him up. I recommend them as great trainers and better people. This is how a community based business should be run. read more

I took my 7 month old lab puppy for bootcamp to help him learn basic obedience, and what we got is kennel cough, he has been in antibiotics for almost a week now and has to go back because he isn't improving. My dog is fully vaccinated, I understand the vaccines are not 100% however when you are running a business it is your responsibility to make sure the animal is safe. I have a friend who has take her lab puppy to bootcamp as well and has also contracted kennel cough. When I text the school to let them know they may want to pass the information on to others all I got was "thank you" . Needless to say he will NOT be going back. ! read more

Rob and Brandy have brought so much joy to the work I do with Schroeder and Yodie. We always look forward to the weekly obedience classes. The dogs have fun 'free-dog' opportunities to socialize which pairs terrifically with the obstacles and challenges within the training session. Schroeder has benefited so much from the daycare socialization and the 1:1 training he gets with Rob at Boot Camp. I also have to highly recommend their Board and Train program. I have the greatest confidence in the loving home environment and structured routine this family provides for my dogs. Thank you Rob and Brandy for all you do that gives me the peace of mind my pups are in the best of hands when I am out of town. The icing on this cake: I can take my Shepard and Pit on public outings with ease, and the dogs are always eager to return which speaks for itself! read more

Our German Shepherd was in need of a good training and Robert Fairbanks was the answer to our prayers. Best training for the dog and even better training for the handler. We had her stayed for training with boarding and that changed her and changed our life. We have a dog that is well behaved and that we can take everywhere! I highly recomend his weekly class where your dog will learn and interact with other dogs, which is very important. Robert and his family are All About Dog Obedience and Love!! read more

We love All About Dog Obedience! They have not only given us the confidence to train our dog but they truly care about each and even dog and their owners! We love the classes and always look forward to going each week! I'm now able to walk my dog without him pulling and we've learned some great tricks. Thank you Rob and team! read more

I've thought hard about this review. Here goes... this place is not for the faint of heart. They use training methods which by some standards I believe to be cruel. For example they use more passive dogs like mine to teach the more aggressive dogs "how to talk to each other". What that really means is they allow more passive dogs to be bitten. When my dog was in the yard to be picked up, she was victimized by another dog with 3 very hard bites. What is some times playful can turn very quickly and this was a circumstance that was dangerous. There was no supervision in the yard AT ALL to manage the dogs. When the very, very young employee brought her out to me I asked her to supervise better and I asked her watch the dogs better and not let it happen again. When I came back the next day the owner Robert literally got in my face about it. I had to step back he was so aggressive. He said (while yelling at the top of his lungs) that he was training that employee and that I "squashed her" and that their training methods are legitimate and that I had no business requesting supervision over the dogs. He said they have a line of dogs waiting to get in to their school and that I needed to decide whether we were on board or not. I politely and maturely told him his employee could have handled the situation better and that he could have handled the exchange better between himself and I. Robert you need to chill out and treat people with respect and courtesy. Whether you think it or not, the dog owners are your customers as well as the dog and you were very disrespectful to me. You need a lesson in courtesy and service. I am a business owner and you do not need to school me about training staff. Train your staff better and take a lesson in courtesy towards other human beings. read more

Brandy and Robert have transformed my dog. Mostly, they taught and are teaching me how to train my dog. I was very hesitant dropping my dog at daycare. I felt like a new mom dropping my kid at kindergarten. After a few weeks of boot camp then daycare my dog is doing so much better. I am now attending weekly training sessions with a whole group of other dog parents and I don't worry about Max being off leash. My daily walking routine is so much better for me and especially for Max. His off leash work keeps getting better and better. Thanks, Robert and Brandy and all of your great staff. read more

If your looking for a trainer that actually teaches you and your dog how to socialize with other pets and people in public, then call Rob today. They love and care about your pet like they were family. We have been going to them for 2 1/2 years and love the scent detection, protection class and family obedience classes. You will not regret it. read more

Would not reccomend. Unprofessional. Upon pickup I could see there kid let my dog out from a kennel where she had prong choker collar on! You should never keep a dog with a training collar like this on . My dog could barely breathe once I picked her up and i could barely remove the collar as her neck was so inflamed she had a very bad wheeze to her panting once I removed collar and looked extremely dehydrated. 2 weeks later my dog is still wheezing when she pants and in 6 years of having my dog she has never made these sounds before this day. I was late for my dogs pickup as my day had some setbacks and was told the owners/trainer was unavailable to talk when I asked for them . I left immediately to calm down and thought I would discuss this with them when they called me to tell me how her training went . That never happen all they did was cash my check and gave zero follow up . They have great reviews and seemed to be a great place to take my dog. But I can honestly say I would not trust anyone to leave there dog there. Maybe it's a different experience with training sessions when your there with them . read more

By far the most straight forward and honest trainer I've come across, I wasted $1,000's taking my dogs to other trainers with horrible results, finally found All About Dog Obedience and Robert came up with a training plan and I now have a GSD that I can take any where at any time. read more

We have a German short hair pointer and we decided that we were going to train him since we got him because our other dogs never had proper training. Rob and Brandy are world class people and great at what they do, they keep things fun and also make training ourselves along with the dogs straight forward and effective. Their schedule is very flexible with boot camp and day care for the dogs as well. I'd completely recommend All About Obedience to anyone who wants to train their dog for a happy pet and owner. read more
