Greg is an amazing trainer! He taught me so much about my dogs and how to handle them. I don't know…read morewhat I would have done without his help. The biggest difference between Greg and a few other trainers I had previously spoken to was that Greg taught me the whys behind the behavior. He taught me how to read my dogs body language and how to calm my dogs down so they were in a calm state of mind before moving on. Greg was incredibly helpful to me. He is knowledgeable, patient and a great teacher for both the dogs and humans!

I can't say enough good things about this grooming place. Finding a groomer that doesn't use crates…read morewas really important to me, and this team truly delivers on that promise. My pup was able to stay in a calm, low-stress environment the entire time, which makes a noticeable difference. The quality of the grooming itself is outstanding--every detail is handled with care. The cut is always even, clean, and exactly what I ask for, and my dog comes back looking (and smelling) amazing every time. More importantly, my dog is relaxed and happy after each visit, which tells me everything I need to know about how they're treated. It's clear the staff genuinely care about the dogs, not just the end result. If you're looking for a place that prioritizes both high-quality grooming and a crate-free, compassionate experience, this is it.

Dorman and the team really know how to turn a puppy or dog into a Good Dog.

It was getting so out of hand that it was impacting our experience with him as our pet. We found Macayla at Unleash Fido in Jacksonville. We enrolled Taz in their 4/5 weeks obedience training and OMG we legit have a brand new dog!! He is more calm, settled, obedient and has really responded positively to this new training and rules. The entire team at Unleash Fido have been very helpful, professional and kind. Our trainer Macayla has checked in with us frequently to see how things are going, answering questions and has provided several post training sessions to ensure we are comfortable and continuing his training. I have had to reach out to her regarding some new undesirable behaviors and she made some suggestions that really worked and has been so incredibly helpful. Worth every penny. I would highly recommend them for any dog training needs!

We were recommend Unleash Fido by several people. We scheduled an hour long consultation with Travis who ended up giving us 90 minutes of his time to learn about Lily and discuss their program. Lily had several issues, such as pulling on the leash, lunging at cars, barking at people + other dogs and going absolutely crazy when Amazon/UPS was delivering a package. Ultimately, we booked Lily into their month-long Obedience Training Camp. After receiving weekly report cards that contained photos, videos and a brief update on how the last week was, we were finally ready to pick-up Lily. Our first time picking her up was also our first training with her. We worked on establishing place, having her heel while walking, and working on other things around distractions. Within the first 24 hours back at home, our investment in this training payed dividends. She's obedient on walks, doesn't mind others passing by, comes to us on call, goes to place when told and so much more. We'd highly recommend anyone who's dealing with behavior and/or obedience issues to look into Unleash Fido! It was so embarrassing to have an unruly dog, and this was a true investment that we are so happy we made.

Luckily, we found Kate! We were hesitant about the virtual training sessions at first but Kate proved us wrong. Her lesson plan was very structured and her communication skills were fantastic.

My…read morepack includes David, a 13-year-old Shih Tzu mix; Zoey, an 8-year-old Doberman; and Alice, a 2-year-old Doberman who's been doing service dog training with Devon. Not only has Devon helped Alice with her specialized training, but they've also worked with Zoey and David on refresher lessons and day-to-day living strategies to make managing three very different dogs much easier. Devon's approach is amazing--they adjust their training methods to align with what I'm comfortable with, creating a collaborative and supportive experience. It's never about right or wrong; it's about finding what works best for you and your dog. We've done in-person lessons and board-and-trains, and every time, Alice comes home better than when she left. Alice adores Devon, and knowing she's happy and in such capable hands makes all the difference. Devon is easy to communicate with, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly cares about the well-being of every dog they work with. I can't recommend them enough

I wasn't sure how he would do woth other animals but Devon immediately assured me that they would be able to handle Kapano in their house for his boarding! I was impressed as he came back more confident and mannered around other dogs. I was consistently sent updates and photos of him throughout his stay and made to feel more than welcome to visit. He also came back to me in better shape in terms of muscle! If there was anything Devon had questions about they had no issues contacting me right away to let me know or ask about, I felt very comfortable and safe with my dog remaining under Devons care. I had never had to leave my dog with anyone before so i was reasonably worried as he's been my bestfriend for 6 years but i am EXTREMELY satisfied with Devons services and will continue to use devon for any training/boarding related needs for the future. I cannot recommend Arcane Canine enough! And thank you Devon for taking the best care of my boy when I needed it the most you are amazing!

If you love your dog, PLEASE use anyone else…read more As the previous reviewer stated, Ron uses prong collars to scare these dogs into submission. Do not be fooled by the amazing news stories or cute Facebook posts. I sat for 2 hours in his driveway and watched what he did before I decided to leave. I saw a Yorkie shaking it was so scared. It was mortifying to watch. Any one on planet earth can train a dog by scaring them into submission. Id do whatever you wanted me to do too if you put one of those collars around my neck and constantly "snatched" (his words) it. Please use a search engine to find anyone else, there are great ones in Jacksonville and the surrounding area!

After speaking at length on the phone with Mr. White, he encouraged me to come down to the park, where he was having a session. I came, and I was a little taken aback by his training style. Mr. White seems to rely on the Alpha-dog school of thought and advocated the use of pinch style collar. I simply observed for a while, and at his suggestion, bought a pinch collar and tried the session for a bit. At the end of the session, he asked me my impressions and then asked me for a check for the classes. I was unaware the classes were paid, as this was not indicated on the Events website, and he never mentioned any price in our phone conversations nor while meeting in person before the session. He seemed annoyed and then tried to get me to pay him something for his 'time' that day. I refused and I left with a very bad taste in my mouth. If not only for his teaching style but also for what occurred afterwards. I returned the horrible pinch collar and sought out gentler training methods.
