    Best puppy training I have found. Our Aussie benefited from group classes. My husband and I attended classes with our daughter. We wanted to be able to learn first hand how to train our puppy. We had a positive experience and highly recommend this company for beginning puppy needs, and evaluation.

    I have taken several classes with my dogs at Applause Your Paws and I am so pleased with the trainers and the facility! I took Outdoor Adventures four times (three different dogs)...twice in Broward and twice in Miami. The classes are fun and take place in different public places each week, where the dogs practice their obedience skills with distractions and work towards their Canine Good Citizen tests. Marlene's Outdoor Adventure classes in Miami were my favorite! I also took Level 2 Obedience at the Miami location with Marlene and Dee as trainers. They both managed the class well and were always getting creative with training exercises for their canine students. Both trainers are excellent and I always looked forward to class. I've only been to the Miami facility and it has always been spotless during my classes and it's so nice to have an indoor facility with AC in the FL heat.

    Day School: 4 weeks A must buy! What a great place! Staff has been amazing at every visit and my pup has shown vast improvements in just the first week!

    I used to take my dog here for doggy daycare on days I worked long hours during her separation anxiety training. She really loved it and was always taken care of very well. It's very easy to communicate with the employees and book training over the phone. Melissa was extremely helpful when setting me up with a private training session. She gave me great tips and some reassurance that I needed at the time! I'm grateful for our trainer Felisha for helping with having my boyfriend's dog and my dog get along. My boyfriend's dog had some aggressive behaviors so we booked a private training session to learn to introduce them safely. I wasn't present at the training (my partner was) but I was thrilled to know how much of an improvement we saw from that one session! Felisha is a skilled trainer, and although I thought some things she said were a bit harsh at first, it's what my partner and I needed to hear to become better dog owners. She also left an extremely detailed report card that was helpful. It's been about 3 weeks and our dogs are getting along wonderfully thanks to the tools she taught us. I'm grateful every night and every morning that I get to walk them together now, and that we are all living together peacefully. Couldn't have done it without these people at Applause Your Paws! All in all I would recommend Applause Your Paws to anyone. I will definitely be booking another session soon.

    See all

    WARNING: Unsafe for Pets - Avoid SOMI Pet Resort at All Costs!…read more I never thought I'd have to write a review like this. We've boarded our beloved family dog at SOMI Pet Resort many times--and we've always tipped generously ($20+) and trusted them with our furry family member. But this time, they broke our trust in the most heartbreaking way. After returning from a week-long vacation, we were overjoyed to reunite with our pup--until they suddenly TOOK HIM BACK from us! Why? They claimed our card payment was declined... despite the $880 charge clearly showing as processed on our phone (+ 15% TIP). They refused to even look at the confirmation and offered zero options or courtesy before heartlessly whisking our dog away to a kennel like a piece of luggage. This was not just poor customer service--this was cruel and unethical. No effort to resolve the issue. No request for another form of payment. No humanity. Just swoosh--your dog is ours until THEY prove you paid. Key point here is the THEY have to prove that you paid - not YOU need to prove. Never again. This isn't just bad service--it's inhumane treatment of both animals and customers. Shameful policies No communication Hostile front desk Emotionally traumatic DO NOT leave your pet here. #SOMIPetResort #PetBoardingFail #PetParentsBeware #CoralGablesPets #BadService #PetLovers #AnimalCruelty #NeverAgain #UnethicalBusiness #MiamiDogOwners #PetSafetyMatters #SlimyPetResort #PawsOffSOMI #PetCareNightmare

    Took our dog away from us and held him hostage for payment - beware of this establishment…read more We've been taking our dog here for years. We always tip generously. Went to pick puppy up this weekend after a week-long stay. $880 plus a $125 tip. Super expensive, but we always thought it was money well spent because our dog is like a child to us. Anyway, card gets processed by bank but shows declined at resort. Weird, but I can see why as it was almost $1k. Long story short, as soon as the card gets declined they take my dog and lock him up in a secret room where I can't see him. I'm like, where did he go? Instant response was you can't have the dog until payment goes through. This despite paying thousands of dollars in fees and tips over the past several years. We were instantly treated as degenerates. Did not matter that my bank showed it processed on my phone. I mean, I don't carry $1k in cash on me, so it felt like they were going to keep the dog until I could find the cash. They could not care less. 100% about the money and absolutely no bedside manner. Was very hurtful seeing my dog taken away from me. We loved this place. So sad we got treated this way. To address response by "Sam": 1. One (not multiple) card attempt was declined. My bank now shows that I paid your company twice. We have not been refunded for overpayment. 2. Our dog was removed from my possession for one reason - to secure payment. It was a snap reaction by your staff to the card being declined. 3. Manager did not attempt resolution - he just explained it was your policy to keep the dog. That's not a resolution, that is heavy-handed business. 4. A manager called us once and, like a judge, said he would need to hear both sides to determine who was at fault. Since then he sent a text admitting SOMI was at fault. Please do not try to sugarcoat this - you did wrong and need to own it.

    We decided to rescue a puppy and little did we know about the dog being an Australian Cattle Dog (a…read morefarm dog very high energy) It was a difficult and challenging position, and thank God we found Alex! He gave us all the tools to train our little puppy and making life with her sweet and enjoyable! In every class Alex taught our doggie obedience and discipline with gentleness and he taught us how to reinforce the commands at home. I cannot stress enough how much Alex helped us and how crucial it is to have a professional to guide through this process. I Dog Academy is the perfect place for your dog to get trained and have a lifelong well behaved and disciplined dog. I love that Alex has onboarding with training because I know that if I have to travel my doggie will stay with someone that will maintain good behaviors and take good care of her physically, mentally and emotionally! Heads down the best dog trainer in miami!! I don't know where I would be without Alex, but I know for sure I wouldn't have the amazing relationship I have with my dog without him! 100% recommended!!

The house has a large backyard where you can see there's space for the dogs to run and play. Anthony takes daily pictures of the dogs and sends them over so we can see the group of dogs and what they are up to. He has a magic power (for real) because he manages to keep all these dogs sitting while taking pics lol. Our dog feels like he's at home there since we take his bed, leash, and food. Also, Anthony is very easy to reach. We would answer your call/texts right away or within mins! we heard from him through our building. It turned out that a lot of ppl use their services here so that gave us more peace of mind. We love them and are very grateful for their services a because they love our dog as much as we do.

When we picked her up, I gave her water and she immediately started drinking it desperately. She didn't even greet us. She was more focused on drinking water than on seeing us, which says a lot about how thirsty she was. That behavior is not normal for her. Runa is not a dog that pants excessively unless she has been running a lot or is extremely tired. She almost never pants, not even when she's happy. That's why it really stood out to me that in every photo I received during her stay, she was constantly panting. At first glance, the dogs may appear "happy," but in reality they seem thirsty. She was there for only 5 days and still came back thinner and extremely thirsty. I can't imagine how uncomfortable that must have been for her , or how other dogs may be feeling if they are not being given proper access to water. I'm writing this with sadness, but also with the hope that this feedback leads to better care and attention to the well-being of the animals left at this place.
