She was so patient and loving toward Toby and as a result, he learned quickly and was eager to please. I couldn't get him to go down steps, but in 10 minutes, with your gentle and kind guidance, he was hopping up and down the front steps of our house like a champ! As Toby has gotten older, Michelle continues to check up on us, and I am still reaching out to her for her expert guidance and help. Toby loves her ... her help and friendship has been invaluable to me, turning my little fluff ball into a well-mannered, sweet boy. I can't thank you enough, Michelle!!

Mike was professional, knowledgeable, fun to work with and loved by my whole family (pups included!). His training techniques are easy to learn and effective. We saw a HUGE improvement in our dogs' behavior immediately. What earns Mike a 5+ STAR review from me is his responsiveness. It's been over 90 days since our first session and Mike is as accessible today as he was the day of our first session. Every call and text is responded to promptly, even when Mike has been out of town. Separation anxiety is not an easy fix. It's a huge relief knowing that we have Mike available when needed. Mike is a committed, compassionate, honest, and gifted dog trainer with a big heart. I highly recommend him.

We tried 3 different trainers before we found Justin and we knew from the first visit that we finally found someone who shared our love of dogs AND had the expertise to help us get our pup on the right track. We love that his approach is positive-reward based (and, more importantly, effective) and our time with Justin is always enjoyable & informational. We have done one-on-one sessions with him as well as his 4-week Foundations group course. Both approaches have been essential. Can't recommend him enough!

Julius Caesar was rescued from an abusive home and was going to be put down because there was no room for him at the shelter. What started as a foster quickly became an adoption because we knew he needed our love and help. He was highly reactive and terrified of almost everything-- people, sounds, other animals, etc. It was almost impossible to calm him and get him to stop barking. We started at PCOTC and tried two different instructors, who were great, but there was no difference in Julius's behavior. I'm grateful we didn't give up because once we found Betsy and Alice, everything changed for the better. They understood him on a completely different level than other instructors. Their support and encouragement are what made his progress possible. After one year of their weekly classes, Julius has become his best self!! People think he's been medicated or simply a different dog because of how much he's changed!! He now gets excited to go to class, see all his friends, and show off his outfits. We couldn't be happier that he finally feels safe and comfortable in his own home. These extraordinary ladies deserve a RAISE and the fattest bonus because they helped us save our fur baby. Even though Julius doesn't need much training anymore, we plan to continue with Betsy and Alice's classes because we are beyond grateful for all they've done and enjoy watching him improve. So much love and appreciation for them both; thank you for working a true miracle

Art of k9 I can not…read moresay enough good things about Angelo and Art of K9. When we found him we were in a desperate situation. Our dog was totally out of control and having recently but our baby, we didn't know what to do. Angelo took our dog within a week and a half of contacting him and helped guide us along the way until we were able to drop him off. We committed our dog to the 8 week program, unsure of what to expect but hoping for the best. We knew this was a last resort. It's now been about 6 months since we have picked our dog up from the program and I can confidently say that it was the best decision we could have made for our family. Not only is he more controlled, he is actually a joy to be around and have around our child. He listens to commands and we find ourselves very rarely needing to correct bad behavior as it doesn't really happen. We went from having a dog who would never come when called, bark uncontrollably, destroy toys and furniture, to a dog who immediately goes to place on a cot when someone knocks on the door (without being prompted) and lets out a few alert barks and stops once i say enough. We no longer have to worry about aggression with our child. He is great about listening when we get him away from her and often will walk away from her on his own when before he would growl. Additionally Angelo has checked in to see how our dog is doing, if any issues have come up, and whenever he needs a training refresh we have been able to bring him back. We will be sending all future dogs to Angelo for training

Angelo saved our dog's life -- and I mean that in the most literal sense possible…read more Oliver is a rescue who had been surrendered by two families before us. We took him in, loved him, and still found ourselves in crisis -- biting, aggression, resource guarding. We were scared of our dog and desperate for help. Oliver was our fifth dog and as a family we were seasoned users of positive reinforcement as the primary training method. We turned to Angelo at Art of K9 and made the decision to board Oliver for 8 weeks. He took on Oliver after a thorough consultation. Angelo worked through Oliver's aggression and resource guarding using the e-collar and other training tools. These methods gave us the ability to communicate with and control our dog in a way positive reinforcement couldn't. The transformation is hard to put into words. Oliver is now relaxed, cuddly, and genuinely at peace. He still has his moments -- but now we have the tools to handle them. This has changed everything. If you have a dog with serious aggression or resource guarding and you're at your breaking point, I highly recommend Angelo. He didn't just train Oliver -- he saved his life and we are so thankful.
