This happened in the past, too, and I stopped sending hin there but confronted the manager about this problem. They said "that person doesn't work here anymore who was doing this."

I cannot recommend Conscious Dog Training enough. Our pug Hemingway is the best dog ever, but he is…read morealso a pug, and if you know anything about this breed, you'll also know they are stubborn to a fault! I picked Conscious Dog Training because the reviews show they have experience with pugs, and when Hemi had some naughty behavior that needed to be nipped in the bud, CDT stepped in and helped my husband and I better understand what was going on. I love the attention to detail and the customization done with these guys. Our trainer was Rebecca, and she showed up to our house ready to take on Hemi, who we learned, just needed boundaries and more structure in his routine. Training your dog is primarily the effort you make. So if you're ready to do the work, CDT is ready to take you on. They have a zero tolerance policy with electric shock therapy/shock collars, or anything leaning towards negative reinforcement.

Jennifer was a life saver. I had a very aggressive French bulldog that was attacking my other dog…read more It was a highly stressful living situation and didn't know where to turn. By luck, I found Jennifer and she was the perfect fit. She was patient with me, was always upbeat and practiced rewards based training that I could actually repeat on my own and really helped me understand my dogs. She's honestly not just a trainer, she's a shrink for the whole family. She was able to figure out our dynamic and tell me what the dogs were thinking just by their body language and signals and taught me how to read their signs too. The aggression took not only training but meds too. Jennifer helped with so much input and advise on that too. I honestly could not have gotten through the stress of two dogs in the same household not getting along without Jenn keeping everything in perspective for me. She would remind me where we started, the plan we were on and where we were going. I clearly am beyond thrilled with Jennifer's training!! Fast forward two years and I now have more to thank Jenn for! I no longer have my Frenchie but I do have two amazing Pugs. Jenn has reminded me of the basic training I've already been taught and we are back to using our magic mats. They have been great at getting the puppy to settle as one crazy dog usually leads to two crazy dogs. We have also started our amazing loose leash training again and see how the little bit of structure helps the dogs calm down and helps us build a closer bond. This is Jenn's calling as she is an amazing dog trainer/therapist for both dogs and humans...and don't kid yourself, this training is really for you, not the dog!

My two rescues were sorely in need of discipline. I contacted ALL DOGS TRAINING and I am thrilled…read more My dogs are small and wild and young..but now they are so well behaved. Two weeks at boot camp was time well spent. When they arrived home with Matt and Heather, I was so happy to see everyone; two humans and my boys Rocket and Beanbag. The humans spent a good bit of time teaching me what my boys had learned. That time was invaluable to me. I highly recommend this business. They certainly know what they're doing. And they do it very well and with tenderness as well as repetition and discipline.

Absolutely unacceptable. Every time I've stopped by this facility, the staff are outside smoking --…read morewith the front door wide open -- letting the smoke drift straight into where the dogs are kept. This isn't just gross; it's dangerous. Secondhand smoke isn't only harmful to humans, it's been proven to cause serious health issues in dogs, including respiratory problems, allergies, and even cancer over time. The fact that the employees think this is acceptable shows a complete lack of professionalism, common sense, and basic compassion for the animals in their care. If they're this careless about something as obvious as keeping toxic smoke away from dogs, what corners are they cutting when no one is watching? I would never risk leaving my dog here. There are far better facilities that actually prioritize the health, safety, and comfort of the pets they're paid to protect. This place is a hard NO for any responsible pet owner.

I have a husky, so you know separation anxiety is a big thing for us, and it has been so hard…read morefinding a place to take my baby where he won't just sit alone in a crate/kennel all day. Enter Hounds Town. Yesterday was our first day: my boy got a full day of daycare, where he was able to socialize and play with six other dogs around his size. He also got a bath (with a blow-dry and the cutest branded bandana ever, which is perfect for my obsessive dog-mom scrapbook). While I did qualify for their lovely first-visit-free promo this time around, even if I hadn't the price for both of those would have STILL been cheaper than what I usually pay for just his bath. Overall, prices are extremely reasonable and competitive with other animal care facilities in the greater Austin area, but honestly I've tried quite a few places and it just feels like you get *more* at Hounds Town. The staff clearly love animals, and their jobs. Everyone is so friendly. I really can't understate the amazing impression I've gotten of this establishment, just from the first day! My boy came back to me relaxed and happy, with no signs of stress or anxiety. They've definitely earned a regular customer in us.

Not to mention, my poor frenchie came home with a sore in his ear, rash on his underbelly, covered in poop, and gums swollen. My shih poo was covered in poop. Do not recommend!

Hi Caitlin. I just wanted to drop you a note to tell you how…read moremuch we LOVE Dakota! She just "gets" Bailey and is always coming up with new and different strategies to deal with Bailey's issues. I felt 100% at ease leaving Bailey with her while we were gone for Thanksgiving, and loved getting the daily updates, pictures and videos. Bailey is truly a different puppy than the one that arrived at our home a little more than 2 months ago. She went from a puppy who was scared of her shadow to one who is conquering fears daily and is so much more carefree. Our house is often a revolving door of kids and Bailey is really starting to enjoy the activity! I no longer have to introduce Bailey to new people outside fearing that she will submissive pee or need distance. Bailey may never be the most confident dog in the room, but she is happy and so much more comfortable in her skin now and we couldn't be more thrilled. There's still a little work to do but we have come such a long way and that is in large part due to Dakota. Thank you again. Debbie

My opinion of this academy and the staff diminished over the monthlong session, and then on…read moregraduation day , my opinion changed to "would not recommend". They were honest and upfront about the challenges they faced with my 8mo old german shepard and i understood. They did offer to allow her a little extra training time at the end of the month , at no extra charge. I thanked them but declined their offer. But what happened the last few days leading up to graduation , and then immediately after, is where things went really bad. I provided frozen raw chicken breast and dry dog food with instructions for one piece of chicken per day. About three days before graduation, the dry dog food ran out and they never told me. What they DID do , is call me to condescendingly inform me how bad raw chicken is, WHILE CHANGING HER ROUTINE TO RAW CHICKEN 3X PER DAY WITHOUT TELLING ME SHE NEEDED MORE DRY. On graduation day, I get her loaded into my king ranch truck , and thats when they tell me of her diet change. I leave and 5 mins down the road she has explosive diarrhea in my truck. Of course Im an hour drive away from home, and Im too angry to go back to the academy. Really disappointing considering the money they get and their knowledge of dog behavior. In my opinion they may want to improve the way they deal with their human customers. Thats the area theyre lacking.
