My partner and I were happy with the results from a private session with Lynn. The best takeaway…read morewas her advice on crating our dog, which has made the process far less stressful for each of us. She taught us a few training games which have been great to use too. After that private session, we were really looking forward to the Mastering the Leash Walk workshop. Based on the training philosophy listed on the company's website, Lynn's recommendation, online reviews, and the class description we thought this workshop would help us improve walks with our rescue pup. Unfortunately the experience didn't meet those expectations. One [very large and awesome mastiff] puppy took over the instructor's attention and barked for much of the workshop, which made it hard to engage in the class. The dog was sweet, but obviously had very little training (nor had it been neutered, which was surprising for a group class) and disrupted instruction and learning. Although we respect Cesar Milan's training methods, it was disappointing that Max seemed to recite book content without fully showing how to implement those methods in the leash walk. The class description said be ready to enjoy walking with your dog off-leash, by your side. We didn't expect drastic change, but at least wanted actionable information on improving the walk. We were hoping for more instructor attention for each attendee, not just for the loudest or one that needed the most all around training help. It would have been helpful to see the instructor work with the variety of dogs in attendance and reiterate each of the general training ideas he shared. I think the cost warranted a handout or a web page (just one page with an outline or a couple short instructional videos) dedicated to the workshop content. Ultimately, the grandiose description was misleading and was not fulfilled in the workshop. I think at best this workshop was an Intro to Leash Walking Philosophy, which left us feeling like money and time wasted.

Robert truly is the Dog Whisperer! We rescued an abused dog that started to show aggressive fear…read moretowards strangers soon after she turned 1 1/2 yo. We took her to obedience class and hired 4 other well known dog behaviorists with no results. In fact, our dog's aggression towards people began to escalate. She bit several of our friends, family and a neighbor. She broke through our front glass window twice when the mailman walked by. We were told by 2 seperate veterinarians (after an extesive work-up that showed no physical reason for her aggression) to euthanize her. We were hopeless, desperate and concerned for our dog's future as well as for the safety of our friends and family. I am so pleased that a friend referred Robert. I couldn't believe that our dog (labeled "devil dog" by others) was on her back and asking for belly rubs from Robert shortly after he arrived! All the other trainers we hired NEVER were able to pet her or come within a few feet or her...even after 3 months of private training. I am so amazed at the change we have seen and continue to see in our dog. She now welcomes our friends into the house and sits calmly waiting to give sloppy kisses! She looks to us for direction and responds to our commands. She is so peaceful yet happy around company now. We continue to work with Robert as his training techniques work wonders! Robert , we can't thank you enough for saving our dog....and our sanity!

On command. Every time. Absolutely night and day difference. Before I took him back home today, I spent almost 2 hours at their facility learning the techniques so I can maintain and continue the training. I had also boarded him there for a long weekend prior to the 30 day training, everything went great. I would, and will definitely recommend these guys. I have ZERO trust issues with leaving our dog here. We are looking forward to the next 30 day session. Thanks to everyone that spent time with Onyx.

I was very impressed and happy with my experience of taking Obedience Level 1 training at the…read moreBloomington Obedience Training Club. All of the trainers are volunteers, most have been teaching for many years. It is very obvious that training us humans and our furry companions is their passion. During each class we had a primary trainer and 1 or 2 supporting assistants. This was amazing as their 1 trainer/assistant per 3 or 4 dogs was helpful during the exercises because we always received 1 on 1 tips/advice. I noticed in the reviews comments about the arena being hot during the summer....yes, during mid-summer it gets warm as there is no AC....this isn't a big corporation out to make a profit, this place is all dog-loving volunteers. However, even during really warm August days, there were many fans and we were encouraged to take water breaks as often as needed. If you have medical concerns, then taking classes September through May could be a great option, as their classes are year round. Another reason I specifically chose this club is that they offer more than just obedience training, which will allow my dog to continue to grow and learn in a friendly and now well-known environment. Thank you to Alysha, Sarah and Aria for the great classes! Happy to have graduated from Obedience Level 1.

Our puppy is still young but she improved over the 5 week class - we are signed up for additional classes, hopefully the learning continues! The staff has been able to handle our dog, and other dogs, with authority and was able to get the dogs to obey very well. Cons: parking sucks. Website seems old but manageable. When it's hot outside, it's miserably hot inside the BOTC. Pros: you can purchase leather leashes for cheap! BOTC is inexpensive compared to other training but cost doesn't seem to impact quality. No frills, but solid training and very helpful staff.
