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!

Bringing my puppy, Ellie, to Unleash Fido was the best decision I could ever make. Before bringing…read moreEllie to Unleash Fido for training she was crazy! She would greet everyone who came to my place with a lovely leap to their face while they were sitting on the couch. She would dig on my couch and did not listen well. Now she is a brand-new puppy. She does not go on my couch or jump on anyone. She seems more confident in herself and calm. Macayla did an amazing job with her, and I am beyond grateful! I enrolled Ellie in their 4/5 weeks training. I got a report card and pictures or videos every Wednesday. I always looked forward to Wednesdays! After Ellie completed her training, we had to go back for our follow up trainings with Macayla. Ellie was beyond excited every time we went back. I have already recommended Unleash Fido to multiple friends. Highly recommend Unleash Fido!

I did the 6 week program with Melissa and it was an absolutely amazing experience!…read more I went in hoping for my dog to learn better manners, but instead I got a dog with perfect manners and who is able to be completely off leash when appropriate. Our last session was at a park where we got to practice our new skills in a safe situation with a professional so that I felt in control and at ease practicing them in the "real world." Melissa really listened to what I wanted, what my dog needed, and tailored every session to what would work best for US - not following the same script and steps that everyone gets. I went in hesitant about the training methods but am now more educated than I anticipated; I know more about training, I know more about my dog, and I even know more about myself. It was also a lot of fun!! My dog and I both looked forward to our sessions and it helped us bond a lot. There were quite a few scheduling issues, which was not a huge deal for me, but it was inconvenient at times since I have to drive a bit to get to the facility. Regardless, I will 100% be saving up for another 6 week program!

Ryan from K-9 KPro has come to meet my furry little crackhead, Heidi. She is a McNab, which is a…read morebreed of California cattle dog who loves to chase cattle for hours across the northern CA hillsides. She is a constant demon, but the minute he walked in, she was a tranquil-ish, and readily began to (sort of) follow his commands. We originally saw Ryan working with training a dog at St. Johns Town Center on the crowded sidewalks. He had that dog tightly following commands and expected behaviors. The dog looked like they had a "mind meld" with Ryan, because of how well it behaved walking through all the people and cars. Perfect behavior. So we are super excited to begin training next month with the Beginner in-home program. Following that we have already committed to going straight into the Intermediate at-home training. We had a minor hiccup with our original interaction, but the staff made it right quickly. So we appreciate not only a great trainer, but the staff who back up his work was great, also. Can't wait to see what happens with our overly excitable - hyper active little cattle herding pup!

Samuel Abreu is hands down one of the best dog trainers I've worked with. From the very first…read moresession, it was obvious he really understands dogs and knows how to communicate clearly--not just with the dog, but with the owner too. He was patient, professional, and super consistent, which made a huge difference in how quickly things clicked. What I appreciated most was how confident and calm he was in every situation. He didn't just "train commands," he explained why things work and how to keep the progress going at home. The results were noticeable fast, and the training actually stuck. If you're booking training here, do yourself a favor and ask for Samuel Abreu specifically. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs and takes pride in what he does. Worth every minute.

Emma was practically deaf, blind, and had some dementia. Although it was an accident, I'm shocked Emma was allowed to swim in a pool unsupervised.

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.
