If you are looking for a dog trainer, your search ends here…read more I purchased a 10-week-old Australian Cattle Dog in late September and about two weeks after, we were at our wits end with the dog, and considered taking the three and a half hour drive back to the breeder. From not being able to walk around the house without having your pant legs pulled at, to sleepless nights (or nights spent on the floor with the pup), and not being able to sit on the couch without being bit, it was becoming too much to handle. Then we decided to go to Steve at A-1 Total Control Dog Training. Years ago, I lived in a development with the most well trained dog I've ever encountered. Being only about 5-6 years old, I vaguely remember my neighbors, my house, and even my friends, but I will never forget this dog. While living here, my family got a Great Pyrenees puppy that enjoyed nothing more than slipping out the door and taking off around the development. Luckily, when the trained dog's owner would see this, he would send his dog in a full sprint to circle around our puppy until we were able to get to her to bring her home. The dog was simply amazing, and was trained by Steve. Now, in just our fifth week of training, our puppy is on track to rival this dog from my childhood. Though she is still young and has a long way to go, Steve gives the tools and instruction for everybody to be able to do so, and we are confident she will get to this level of obedience. Do not waste your time or money elsewhere and take your dog of any age to Steve at A-1 Total Control Dog Training. It will be the best decision you will ever make for you and your dog.

I'm on the west coast, so I didn't think we could actually work together, but find her quite accessible since she does virtual sessions and is also active on her Patreon. I have a lot of experience with dog rescue, and I often adopt dogs with special needs. I have a dog that has obviously experienced some trauma around other dogs, and Erika has been incredibly helpful. She is generous with her knowledge and her time, she has lots of training tools like handouts and videos, and she is a delightful person in general. Great sense of humor, and it feels warm and fuzzy to work with her, which is so nice because often when we have problematic dogs, we don't feel good about it and we blame ourselves. Not only does she use positive reinforcement in her training for dogs, but also for people, because often it is us that needs to be trained. My dog is doing so much better since I started working with her. I highly recommend. I'm excited to work with her more in the future.

I highly recommend contacting From Dusk Till Dog, whether you have a new puppy, an older dog, a…read morerescue, etc. Erika and John are an excellent team. They work very well together, and their training styles really complement each other. Together, they bring knowledge, professionalism, and patience to each and every situation. The thing that really stood out to me is that even after/in between my training sessions, Erika continues to give me advice if I reach out to her. If I ask her a question, she will always email me back with her take on my situation, links to articles or techniques, or both! Her dedication to keeping up with the latest training techniques is apparent, and I truly trust her advice. She is honest and open when she explains things - she wants to help you and your dog, but doesn't just tell you what you want to hear, which is something I both admire and appreciate. Both Erika and John are truly dedicated to helping you and your dog. There is never a question or concern that I have that they can't answer, provide me with an example of solutions, or at least point me in the right direction. She and John have obviously done their homework and have so much experience, and that really shines through in their work. I, myself have never been a fan of aggressive training techniques and I love that Erika and John focus on positive reinforcement, and my rescue dog, Louie, loves it too. When I rescued my 3-year old Dachshund-Chihuahua mix, Erika and John were so helpful with his adjustment to his new home. They have given me excellent advice on how to help Lou eat his food (I was surprised dogs needed help with that, but Erika and John knew all about it), as well as identify stress signals and certain behaviors to look out for - things I didn't realize were so important until now. We started out with basic "sit" and "down", progressed to "stay" and "bed". They helped me train Louie to not pull on our walks, as he was never properly walked before we adopted him, so this was a challenge. They even helped me with tips for brushing his teeth!! Both Erika and John have been great at addressing my concerns, and I look forward to continuing to work with them for the foreseeable future. Thank you From Dusk Till Dog :)! I highly recommend this company!

There's been alot of talk about Petsmart, recently. I have been taking our dog, Harley, there to…read morebe groomed, for 7 years. I've never had an issue. Our dog is a collie, shephard mixed. He is very tempermental, I warned the groomer, if he's not cooperating, whatever your doing, stop. I have the same groomer for Harley, each visit. I call to check on him, never a problem. I pick him up, when they call, he's clean, happy and trimmed. If the grooming isn't what I requested, they will fix it. Never a problem. I tip the young lady that does Harley, she does such s great job. I will keep using Petsmart, as I pleased with their services. I am not lifting an 80 lb dog into the tub; then have a clean-up job afterwards. Keep up the good job, Mantua Petsmart.

Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing…read more Three days ago, I took my dog in for a bath and haircut. I even paid extra to have his teeth brushed because I expected a higher-quality service. When I picked him up, it honestly seemed like he hadn't been properly bathed at all. He still smelled very bad, almost as if he had only received a dry bath. What upset me the most was the haircut. They completely ruined the shape of his face, and the hair on his forehead looked like it had been cut with zigzag scissors. He was left looking choppy, uneven, and poorly groomed. A few hours later, we called to explain the situation, hoping they would be willing to make it right. Instead of apologizing or showing any concern, the manager was extremely unprofessional. He told us that since it was only our third visit, "that's what we paid for." He also said that if we wanted our dog to smell better, we would have had to pay an additional $30. The way they handled our complaint was even more disappointing than the grooming itself. We weren't looking for an argument--we simply expected them to listen to our concerns and offer a reasonable solution. It's very disappointing to pay for a service and receive such poor results, followed by such disrespectful customer service. Unfortunately, we will not be returning, and I cannot recommend this place.

My dog Chewy loves this place! We've been bringing him here now for about a year.. we moved from…read moreHawaii so it took some time to find a place that fit our crazy hyper active dog's needs! What did we like? Facility - We were looking for a place with an area outside that has actual grass and the other kind they can still play on that doesn't get them all muddy. The other daycare and boarding places didn't have much room for pups to run around or it was just a warehouse and no grass. I swear my dog held his pee until we picked him up and walked him to the grass. This place has lots of room to run around and make them tired! They've got separate indoor areas for doggies that either need a break, a nap or just wants to sit up front with the staff. Staff - The staff is amazing!! They do get to know your dog because they are all animal lovers and they know their behaviors! It's so nice when we walk in and they're already greeting Chewy by name. He loves walking in here, he knows as soon as we turn into the parking lot and just pulls us right inside! It seems they always have fun working there and there's always a celebration, like a doggy birthday or pajama theme day or something. Fun staff for sure! Pricing - very affordable! They do half days and full days. The boarding at night is well priced as well.. and we know our Chewy will be able to run around and play during the day. Grooming - they do grooming, baths and nail trimming too! Cons Only thing i was concerned about in the beginning was not any staff present at night time when you board your dog overnight... but the staff reassured us there are alarms and systems in place where staff would be readily available if needed. They all live really close by. So it hasn't been a problem for us at all! I highly recommend this place for all you doggy needs! If they need exercise, socializing or just doggy friends instead of being home alone.. this is the place for them!
