Daniel is an absolute god send! After just the demo session our pup was a brand new dog and we…read moresigned up for 6 more classes. Daniel has an incredible talent for understanding how your dog learns and communicates so you build an unbreakable bond with them. This bond translates into pristine obedience because your dog respects you and from our experience, it's truly life changing for everyone involved. We recommend him to everyone we've ever met and strangers we are struggling with their pups on the street! Every dog can benefit from time with Daniel, big or small, old or young!

I originally thought it might be expensive, but he is absolutely worth the lifetime investment in my dog. I'm very happy with the results and he continues to follow up and see if we need any more support. I highly recommend him for any kind of training. I still think my dog likes him better!

I have been in dog rescue for 40 years and have never seen the skill he has with dogs in anyone else. He transformed an aggressive dog, that was going to be euthanized due to human aggression, in front of a group of us. Gary should be on television as the true dog whisperer. I am a volunteer at DeKalb Animal Control/Lifeline and have a lot of experience with many dogs and dog trainers. To watch Gary with this previously unadoptable aggressive dog was like watching a true miracle in person!

He goes above and beyond and both of my dogs love him. Our big dog was aggressive and Gary showed us how to channel is energy in a positive light.

I highly recommend Good Dog Academy to all my family and friends.

This is long, but Tenasity SAVED my dog's life!!! Three trainers told me to put Hollywood down…read more Tenasity changed our lives and saved my boy. I adopted a 3-year-old Dobbie / Rottie mix from a rescue group in NC. They said he was great with people, dogs, and kids. We drove from GA to NC to pick him up. He had scars on his body and was so still. He never barked or wagged his tail... just seemed so sad. The physicality was poorly kept and in horrible conditions. After seeing him, I was not about to leave him there. My husband drove us back while I lay in the back of our SUV with Hollywood. As soon as we got him home, I took him for a walk. Someone passing by said beautiful dog and he lunged at them to bite them. I was so scared I had to call my husband to pick us up. Then later that night he also tried to bite my husband. I called the rescue group back and they said to put him down. That they would not assist in any way. I then enrolled him into good citizens K9-Coach. He was kicked out. Next was Zen... which is for aggressive dogs. Yet he got kicked out of that too for going after the trainer, I then took him to a 3rd trainer. She noticed that he was guarding me. She asked how long have we had him; which was a little less than 2 weeks at this time. Yet, just in that short amount of time, he became very very protective over me. We also noticed each time he hear a kid cry or scream on the TV that he would go after the TV. At this point, I had no idea of what type of past he had but he was definitely abused. I came to the realization that he would never have a normal dog life. That he would never be able to be around other people or dog parks. Even at vet visits Hollywod had to wear a mussel and then the vet would give him a sedative shot while in the lobby just to calm him down enough he could check him out. My vet gave me Tenasity's info. I called and set up an apt. Calvin came out to meet Hollywood. Hollywood had to be created because he would not stop going after Calvin. Calvin sat next to his creat for 45 min until he calmed down. then we took him out of the create to start working. All of the previous trainers said to put him down. After our work with Calvin, I started to see little differences in his personality. If my husband tried to hug me; Hollywood would growl but not go after him. Baby Steps Hollywood started trusting us more and more. We kept working with Calvin weekly. We did everything he asked us to do with him. 8 months later ... yes 8 months... working with Hollywood every day and training with Calvin. Hollywood, was able to be in public. We did walk together, He even got to go to the dog park with my other dogs. Hollywood turned into such a Diva. He did not like to get dirty Or be in the Rain. But he finally got to make that choice. We were even able to take him over to White water creek which is a water dog park with people, kids and their dogs all running free. All I can say is if you love your dog and you are willing to put in the work. Tenasity can help you have a loving peaceful home. The funny thing is Hollywood became the welcome committee at the dog park. He only wanted to be around people vs playing with the other dogs. So he would go from person to person just to be loved and give love back. He was with me for 8 precious years before he passed away. But the amazing thing is; because of Tenasity those 8 years were great for him too! I can't thank you enough for helping me bring out his best and loving side! I hope that if anyone has a dog that seems to be too much; please give Tenasity a try and don't give up on your pet!

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 were at our wits' end when we first contacted Christina. Our two bull terriers (a male, Carlos,…read moreand a female, Stella) were constantly fighting, and things seemed to be escalating on a daily basis. It got to the point where Stella bit off the tip of Carlos's ear. In addition to that, we had two small, older dogs who would also get in the mix. And the dogs tended to react to every stimulus, whether it was dogs or people walking by outside, dogs barking next door, or even dogs barking on TV. We always felt on edge and nervous about what would set off the next incident. We had gone through some basic training with each of the bull terriers, so they knew some commands, but they also knew how and when to ignore us and do their own thing. We started using baby gates to try to keep everyone separated, and we were constantly rotating the dogs in and out of their pens so they could avoid each other. We more or less set up our lives to try to manage the dogs, and it still wasn't working. It got to the point where we couldn't even walk the bull terriers without an incident, so we couldn't properly exercise them. The dogs basically ruled the house, and it felt like we were living in a prison. At times, we dreaded coming home from work because of the dog-related stress we knew was waiting for us. And because of the fighting, we feared that something terrible could happen if things continued as they were. It was such a relief when Christina came. She understood what we were going through and helped us to work through all of our issues. Although it took some time to work though the dogs' various issues, it was wonderful having her walk us though every step of the way and always be available for questions and encouragement, and she helped us to stay focused and positive. She was very hands-on with the dogs and with us, and soon we were able to handle the dogs with confidence. We can now walk Carlos and Stella (together and separately) around our neighborhood when before we would have been too afraid to. Recently, we took Stella to one of Christina's dog and client meet-ups, and Stella was able calmly to meet and hang out around other dogs and people - including children - which we never thought would be possible. We're continuing to implement the techniques Christina taught us, and we're continuing to see signs of improvement. Christina gave us back control over our dogs which gave us back our life.
