I can't recommend Susan's PlayTrainDog classes enough. We took both puppy kindergarten and basic…read moredoggy manners with PlayTrainDog, and we're so happy Susan helped give our Willow such a positive start in life. We adopted Willow when she was 8 weeks old. Before her, we had a wonderful dog who unfortunately had some fear issues with other dogs. We knew we needed positive socialization for Willow as early in life as possible, so we looked for the best training experience to get her into as soon as she was ready. We're so glad we found Susan. Willow loved her weekend training sessions at the park with her new friends so much. Being able to learn and play with other well behaved pups in such a positive group setting was an invaluable experience that we absolutely treasure. Puppy kindergarten really helped with basic socialization. Willow was shy when she was little. She hid under our lawn chair during part of the first class and just watched the other puppies from a safe place. In the group classes Susan made sure puppies were matched with others close to their own size and energy level, so shyer puppies could have a low key, non threatening introduction to each other. Gradually Willow gained confidence around even friskier pups, and now she loves other dogs of all sizes and energy levels, so much. She will actually try to match herself to the other dogs, so she is happy to frisk with high energy dogs, but with smaller or even shy big dogs, she'll lay down and play gently at their level. One of the first things she learned in puppy class was the Touch command, and that has really helped with her confidence and manners when meeting people. We didn't realize how important this command was, until after she had graduated from the puppy classes, and we took a trip to visit family. She was 8 months old and had already gained a lot of confidence from classes. But unexpectedly, we had not one but two different grownup male relatives who love dogs, but thought it would be fun to play-bark at her. She got really nervous around them, and afterward when we took her in public during that trip, she became suspicious when meeting men and even growled when a large man she didn't know approached her. We went back to basics and asked family as well as new people to introduce themselves by putting their hand out, and asked her to "Touch" their hand. This put her more in charge of the interaction, and allowed her to feel more relaxed and confident around new people. Now she has really gotten past that anxiety. She is so happy to meet people and dogs that when she gets close to them, she often melts into a lay-down while doing a full body wag-crawl toward them, to show how much she wants to meet and be friends. Lol. We also learned the 'Watch Me' command, which helps in so many situations. It helps to refocus and connect during walks, and when we're out in public if she's becoming distracted or excited. It helps 'get her head back in the game' so to speak. Together with 'leave-it', it helps with impulse control, so she can focus on me and remember her training. We learned so much in these classes but it's funny that the most basic things are proving to be the most important every day. In Basic Doggy Manners, we built on earlier skills and learned to help her be a better companion out in the world. She learned a solid heel, loose-leash walking, and a 3-second recall. She learned to pass other dogs or distractions without pulling, and working dog commands so we can communicate non-verbally, or at a distance. All these things we practice every day, and it helps build our bond always using positive reinforcement and life rewards. Willow is a border collie and a big thing for her is pulling toward things that roll, ie bicycles, roller skaters, trucks, golf carts, motorcycles. Susan helped us address this and learn how to help her, so she can be safer in public with us. We are still working on this, but so glad we have the tools to help her, and are seeing improvement. In addition to all these things, we learned to apply the 3 D's of dog training (distance, distraction, duration) throughout her training activities, and learned to use life rewards to motivate her. Willow isn't very food motivated, but she is very play-motivated, so we learned to use that to reward her for mastering new behaviors. This is a lot I know, but I'm leaving out so much more that we learned. We had so much fun and learned so much in these training sessions, and we practice and continue to build on the things we learned every day. We treasure the experience and absolutely recommend Susan's PlayTrainDog classes for anyone who wants to give their puppy the best possible start in life.

Awesome, awesome experience for me and my dog Big Daddy…read more my big, 2.5 yr old boy was going crazy when new people came around. He was jumpy, it was hard for me to control him and it was offensive to others because he weighs 65 lbs. i like fixing things, so we put ourselves through training with Mike & Champion Dog Training. At the first lesson i was excited and felt great leaving, but during the first week i was scared to enforce because doggie was sensitive to the collar. Mike gave me a little pep talk over the phone and we made it to our 2nd lesson. I cannot get him into a down/stay using force, Mike says Im soft on him, but he's doing great with everything else we learned. Stay, Stand, Sit, Heel, he's a very smart boy & im very proud. We have continued practicing even after completing the 4 week course. I now feel confident I can control him and there has been a shift in Big D., like he knows I expect more and is waiting on my que. Even his dog walker said he has really improved and she did not know he was training.

Our dog has been snap to angry irritation lately. Our vet recommended classes. Dynamite came recommended not just by the vet but by friends. The rate was a few bucks but there were others with crazy higher rates. Our first class or 2 were good. Our dog does like a game and was so happy learning the commands via games and rewards. Our instructor recommended for social skills to maybe switch to 1/2 or full day visits. A doggie day school. We switched to that. It's been a couple weeks now and its been good. They work hard to train him. They post videos, many of which are on line before we even pick him up. It gives us the joy of seeing how much fun he is having.

We rescued our pittie, Tilly, in Pennsylvania after she had been left outside for seven months and…read morewithout food for at least several weeks. After spending two weeks with us there, we drove with her to Florida, where we are living for four months. Tilly is incredibly sweet, but she struggled with pulling on the leash, barking, reactivity, and listening. She also had no door manners when guests arrived. We reached out to Avi, and he responded immediately, offering guidance and--most importantly--hope. We saw results during Avi's very first visit, where we focused on confident loose-leash walking and door manners. Over the course of the month, not only did Tilly's confidence soar, but our confidence as handlers improved dramatically as well. We can now walk Tilly confidently on a loose leash, and she truly is a perfect lady. She reliably "leaves" high-value toys and treats when directed and has shown tremendous improvement at the door. While we are still working on her stay and recall, Avi gave us the tools and knowledge to continue mastering those skills. Avi is kind, humane, and clearly passionate about what he does--we affectionately call him "the dog whisperer." He formed an instant bond with Tilly the moment he walked into our home. Avi understands the behavioral differences between breeds and took the time to see Tilly as an individual, thoughtfully considering her history of abuse while also understanding who we are as owners. We feel incredibly fortunate that we--and Tilly--found Avi, and we would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking compassionate, effective dog training.

I have never worked with a deaf dog nor have I owned a bull terrier. Let's just say my life completely changed. I went from 2 dogs I have had for 15 & 16 years who were complete angels, an American staffordshire and a black lab to hell on wheeeels. She has been kicked out of day care, kicked out of doggie academy programs and weekend warrior programs. I have taken several training courses and classes, with no major impact. I have changed my lifestyle for this cute yet satanic creature. Yes, her nickname is baby satan. Overnight she started showing nervous signs of aggression --- again she is deaf and startles so easily. Holly and her trainers have turned my precious little baby monster into a working dog. She knows about 15 hand signals. I never thought I would be the type of person to send my dog off to summer boot camp but wow it really worked. She stayed a little longer than the 21 days but again she is hearing impaired and her breed is extremely stubborn. Even with that watching her work with the trainers brought tears to my eyes. She actually wants to focus and complete her tasks. Holly has showed me how to work with my 2 year old doggie and she took such amazing care of the training and handling of us both. I'm also not a local anymore and I had to search for someone who was able to handle this delicate situation. I plan on working with dog training academy of south florida for any other pup I rescue. Thanks guys. For giving me my life back and putting us in sync. I wanted my rescue to be happy and still be her but a better version of her. I didn't want to break her spirit. Holly understand that.

Their prices are extremely reasonable. I highly recommend the DTASFL.

Adam Rojas has been a miracle worker with our rescue, Prescott. Our sweet little twelve pound…read moredoxy/chihuaha has a tendency to snap and bite if he feels triggered, particularly if I get near his neck with leash or harness. This has made attempting to walk him a recurrent moment of panic for me, which has only emboldened Prescott to continue this behavior. He has even bitten me on several occasions, as well as my wife (though less frequently) albeit often enough to make us feel unsafe in our own home. We've been through several trainers, behaviorists, doctors and specialists; we've explored treatments for his spinal pain (pain meds, crating) to quell his agitation, and also began giving him Prozac to ease any anxiety or trauma he may suffer from. Ultimately, all of these measures did not adequately resolve the problem. Needless to say, after this saga of several years, we were at our wits end. Enter Adam Rojas: a true dog whisperer, he approached Prescott masterfully, equal parts dominant and compassionate, essentially mesmerizing my wife and I at his ability to make our little Napolean so submissive. It was a wonder to see, like sitting front row at a Las Vegas show in our own living room! Adam has been patient and instructive, always giving us specific action steps, techniques and clear explanations, all the while training my wife and I to provide Prescott with the pack leadership he so craves. Adam has been available by text and phone, continuing to reassure and answer any questions. He's taught us to correct Prescott's behavior in a timely and appropriate manner with commands and use of the leash; we've even learned to use the electric collar, of which Adam took great pains to teach us how to use effectively. The net result of these sessions has been a profoundly better adjusted doggie, and a much calmer and happier mommy and daddy! We didn't know where else to turn, and this instruction has made a world of difference! We heartily recommend Adam & K9 for their outstanding professionalism and excellent results.
