Mike and his team are extremely professional and exceptional at what they do. Moose had issues with everything from digging and biting to pulling on the leash and difficulties with kennel training. Within two weeks with their board and train program, moose was a new dog. He was just as lovey as he was before, but now a great listener as well. Mike and his team helped us learn how to communicate with Moose. If I could give this company 20 stars, I would. I trust Mike with Moose, and I recommend this company to anyone who is looking to train their dog. Don't hesitate.. book with All Dogs Unleashed!!

Tonja was a gift from dog-heaven! My 7-year old, 4 pound Maltese (Betsy) was having problems with…read moreanxiety (she would rarely settle down), barking and aggression towards other dogs and people for the past year and a half, since my 13 y/o German Shorthair passed (who by the way was not a barker and never aggressive). I tried another trainer and the methods didn't work but Tonja came in, assessed the issues, explained why Betsy felt the need to take over as leader, gave me exercises and non-physical corrections to use and Betsy is even better than her old self! Going in I knew that I was the one needing training and made the commitment to both of us to do as told and I'm so happy I did! Tonja doesn't sugar coat things but she isn't rude either. While I appreciate that, I suspect the person who left a one-star review who also owns a small dog wasn't wanting to hear what she really needed to hear and didn't really want to put in the time to make her ankle biter less yappy! Dogs behave similarly regardless of size and I'm as guilty as any for letting a tiny one get by with more than I have with my larger dogs. It's been 3 weeks now and we are still doing our exercises and continue to be better all the time when out for walks and seeing other dogs. For the first time in a long time, she'll calmly lay in my lap! I've also used Tonja for boarding Betsy and it's the first time she has been boarded that she ate while I was gone and came back rested and relaxed! Love Mystic Moon and everything Tonja stands for and does!

Tonja and her husband Chuck are truly the greatest things since sliced bread! We adopted a 1 year…read moreold terrier mix named Chico that had very little training when we got him. He came from a home with a lot of other dogs and so he was very anxious/aggressive around other dogs. When he would see another dog, his hair would stand up, he would growl, and would drag us towards the dog when we were walking him outside. We tried to do training on our own with no success. When we started looking up dog trainers, we couldnt believe the prices. $100 an hour? We can't afford that. What if it takes 12 hours? That's a lot of money. Although Chico is worth it, we just couldn't fathom spending that kind of money. We continued searching and came across Mystic Moon. They were affordable and had top notch reviews, so we decided to give them a try. Sunday came around and we anxiously pulled up to our first class praying that he didn't attack another dog or something. As we walked in, he was pulling us, growling, barking, and jumping. Tonja walked over and told us to put a training collar on him and directed us to seats that were a little away from the group so that he could calm down and we could try to train him without distractions. Now, fast forward to week 4 (4 hours total of training classes and doing the homework that Tonja and Chuck assigned us every week)...he is a completely different dog. Chico is no longer the aggressive dog he was before. He doesn't bark, pull, or growl when another dog comes around. His hair no longer stands up and he seems to have more confidence. When we started this journey, we had little hope. Everyone told us that based on his past and his breed, he will more than likely always be aggressive and that he might get better when he gets older. I truly thank God every day that we came across Mystic Moon. Chico is quickly becoming the dog we have hoped he would be and we are quickly becoming the parents that he needs and deserves. If you need someone to help you train your dog, look no further. Tonja and Chuck are the real deal.

Nala is an under 2 German Shepherd. She has always been loving toward dogs and humans. Recently…read moreafter a new neighbor with aggressive dogs moved in next door, Nala started showing rude behavior toward strange dogs. It could be age, it could be a change in her home environment. Either way we suddenly could not go out in public because I feared the wrong dog would react to her behavior. Nala started going to Tiffany with ICO. She did one on one trainings for two hours twice a week. This past weekend we were able to return to the dog park and Nala successfully responded to other dogs in a proper manner. Not only did Nala respond correctly but I've also learned through Tiffany the importance of advocating for my dog and her right to her personal space. Nala had a fantastic time once again playing with her dog friends and meeting new friends. I highly recommend talking with ICO and helping your puppy change behavior before it changes them. Tiffany's communication is amazing while she trains not just your dog but also you on how to be a good dog mom/dad. I can't thank her enough!

She struggled with walking on a leash, ignoring distractions, allowing people over to the house, & kennel training. Tiffany helped us at any time of day, reguardless of the struggle or question. She helped us both in her facility & at our house while working with our schedules. Athena has made so many improvements & we continue working with Tiffany to continue improving Athenas behaviors as she grows. If you need someone who will give amazing advice & work with your dogs needs, choose Tiffany! She has also been accommodating on different payment plans & options. It can be hard to choose between affording help & being able to get help that our dog needs. Tiffany helped us do both & she has been so great.

I have taken my Havanese to DMOTC since I first got him as a puppy and he and I went to puppy…read moresocialization class. This large facility has either 3 or 4 large (rectangular) rings with a different class being given in each. There are a few daytime classes, but most are in the evening. All of the instructors are dedicated, experienced, and knowledgeable volunteers who must love working with all breeds of dogs and their owner/handlers, as evidenced by their patience and understanding of the many dog training challenges. My dog also took basic obedience and the Canine Good Citizenship class which upon completion, he and 6 of the 7 the other dogs in the class passed on test day. My only criticism of this class is that we trained with treats the whole time, but the class before the test, we were told treats were not allowed by the AKC certified tester. (If we were told before, I must have been in denial.) This made a huge difference in my dog's willingness to listen to my commands once he realized there wasn't going to be any "pay/reward". I worked with him the week before the test giving him treats randomly as the instructor had suggested, but I feel that transition could and should have been emphasized and practiced more during the previous classes. DMOTC is still a terrific place for a wide variety of classes for your dog and I plan to continue taking my dog to their classes. They are also more affordable than other private for-profit dog training schools. We are lucky to have this established club in our community.

My husband and I just got our 6th dog (over 16 years- not all at once.) we have taken all of our…read moredogs to puppy class and obedience class. We decided to try DMOTC because it was closer than our previous trainer- Rover's Ranch. Signed up for puppy class. What a waste of time. Not only will you spend 45 minutes trying to listen to someone read a page of information to you, with two other classes going on at the same time, but she will only pause briefly periodically to let you try something occasionally with your dog. Useful things for good dog behavior like scooting their butt back while in down position or doing high fives (versus walking on a leash or good solid recalls) There is absolutely no socializing of your puppy with any of the other puppies in the class. One woman had a puppy that had not been around other dogs. It was trying to play, but no one was allowed to let dogs off leashes and people were encouraged to leave as soon as class was over. No playing-little, if any, interaction between people and other dogs or any actual skills the dog might need. We stopped going as it wasn't worth the time. If you are new to owning a dog or want your puppy to have experience with other dogs, save your money and look elsewhere.
