Got no reply for well over a week so then I left a bad Google review, to which they responded instantly. They proceeded to tell me the guy I saw mistreating the animals was a volunteer and not an employee and that they removed him. They told me that I could come in for an evaluation to see how they treat the animals. I wouldn't have left a bad review had they addressed the issues in a timely manner, but they clearly only cared when it might affect their business since it was public, so just be careful when dealing with these people. Also, they do not use positive reinforcement methods. If you watch their training videos, you often see choke chains and rough treatment of dogs and whatnot. I definitely would never EVER bring my dog to these people nor would I recommend that anybody else do so.

Craig, Darius, and everyone at Atlanta K9 Solutions are patient with me while I learn how to handle my dogs. Most importantly they understand the "WHY" of dog behavior and are great about customizing the training to meet my needs and the needs of the dog. I have seen them train SMALL kids how to handle BIG dogs. I have see them resolve dog and food aggression in a snap. Anxious clients come in, confident clients walk out with happy dogs. In my case, I got a second puppy and Craig, Darius, and the rest of the team are helping me restore peace in my home. They are also showing me how to have peace and calm with my dogs in public so that I am confident taking my dogs with me anywhere we go. They offer many different solutions to meet the needs of their clients (board and train, 1 on 1 training, group training) and they take ALL the stress out of training and having dogs. Working with them means you WILL be successful. Everything they do works and works right away. Between training sessions I have texted Craig and he responds immediately to help me handle situations when they are taking place. Give these guys a call! It will change your home and your relationship with your pets for the better. Don't waste your time or money anywhere else. Atlanta K9 Solutions works!

You know those people who ran out and got dogs during COVID because they were working from home and…read morecould spend so much time with them? Yeah, we got two of them. First a puppy, and then when he was 9 months old a second rescue dog who was about 2.5. We had (naïve) dreams of the dogs cuddling for naps and playing quietly together out back as we WFH. The reality was far more frightening. The two dogs fought (and by this, I mean actual angry dog fights, it was scary) if a new toy was introduced, if food was accidentally dropped or if we would pet one but not the other. They barked incessantly at every delivery person, runner/walker, dog and cat on our street. We were at our wits end with 3 young kids and two dogs that were out of control. That's when I reached out to Shavon (goes by "Blue"). After reading other reviews, I decided if he couldn't help us, no one could. He changed it all. He recommended an 8-week at-home training. Plus, he took our 2.5 year old dog for a more intense 10-day training at his house, but brought her back periodically to continue to train the two dogs together. The dogs transformed. Actually, Blue transformed my husband and I as we were the real issue. His experience as a trainer was on full display and through his guidance we learned essential new skills including how to properly walk dogs, give authoritative commands, correct them when they pull, bark or growl and generally take control of our pups. We learned to read their body language and cues to avert aggression before it happens. Blue showed us how to set limits and boundaries so the dogs fit into our life, rather than letting our life revolve around the dogs. We completed all our training and are amazed at the results. We now have two well behaved dogs that listen, obey and quietly co-exist as we WFH. If you want the best results, training with Blue is certainly an investment of your time, patience, ego and money but it is well worth it to have dogs who make life joyful and fun (not stressful and chatoic). We hope to have these pups for the next 12+ years and believe the effort and money we spent on training will serve us well for years to come. Call Blue today, you won't regret it!!!

In September of 2020, I lost my super sweet Suzie to bone cancer. I was devastated. I kept asking…read moreto adopt a dog, however my husband always answered with a no. Then in May of 2021, he relented, and we began the hunt for a dog. We found Maggie in the animal shelter. She and her sister were COVID puppies who had been surrendered. We were told Maggie didn't get along with other dogs, had heart worms, aggressive towards people, and food aggressive, but I loved her at first sight, and I adopted believing I could change her. We worked out the food aggression and got her use to being around our dogs. The heart worm treatment was successful. Maggie and I were meant for each other, but.... Maggie was aggressive towards other people, animals, and sometimes our other dogs. She would go after my son-in-law whenever he came to town, and as much as I love dogs, people always come first. Dog trainers said I needed someone that dealt with fear aggressive dogs. That when I was referred to Lorenzo's Dog Training. Blue became our trainer. It was hard letting Maggie leave home for a month because she is my support for my PTSD and helps calms me down. However, I saw Maggie transform each week. She became even more loving as she became less afraid and trusted us to keep her safe. Blue was working magic with her. As he trained us to work with her, I was able to walk with her an not worry about falling over. Maggie stopped barking at every noise. She is much calmer and follows commands most times (we are still in at home training, but will get there). Blue is an amazing trainer, and I feel blessed that he came into Maggie's and my life. I saved her life, she saved mine, and Blue has saved us both. Thank you Blue!

Groomers and pet sitters struggle with him constantly. Did I mention he is also an escape artist so he needs constant supervision. Ms. Tay, the owner was able to keep up with him and she sent me pictures through the weekend. When we picked up the babies they were fully groomed and they looked so happy!

I hired Mike, ( paid for a lifetime guarantee $1,500) the dog trainer from Bark…read moreBuster to train my dogs to stop barking at the windows and rushing the front door at visitors. His training was fear based and did not help with either problem. A year later my large dog started attacking my smaller dog. Reached out to Mike, He came by and had me buy a muzzle from him and told me to keep it on her. No plan other than that. We had a facetime call a week later. Still no plan. A week later when muzzle was removed, she attacked my smaller dog and seriously injured him. Tried to contact Mike and he ghosted me stating he didn't know me. I had to put my large dog down and the injuries to my small dog was over $3,000. I contacted the Bark Buster's corporate office and they responded with an apology. I asked for a refund since I felt like the training was an epic fail. I used all of their ridiculous BAH... techniques and it was a bust. They also ghosted me.....DO NOT USE THEM! There is no lifetime service or anything else.

***LONG REVIEW BUT WORTH THE READ***…read more This is my sweet, rowdy, rambunctious, and very demanding pup Rhodi! As a first time puppy owner, I just wanted to keep her happy. I let her get away with a lot! I quickly realized that I was not in charge of her but she was in charge of me. What I thought was being sweet was in Rhodi's mind "I can do whatever I want because I won't be punished for it." She would chew any object she could find, bark at me constantly when I wasn't doing what she wanted, would not listen to me when I would call her name, jumped on me and other people, tried to escape out the front door, and peed in the house. I watched videos upon videos but nothing helped! I was doing research on dog trainers and the first thing I thought was "this is so overpriced!" As a young college student with a rowdy dog, I was determined to find the best price with the most qualified trainer and I did! Bark Busters and specifically Cody are the best thing I could have done for both me and Rhodi. I was really nervous about having someone in my home "telling" me how to train my dog, but Cody TAUGHT me. If there was something I was struggling with, like leash training, he showed me an alternative way for me to get her to listen to me. The thought in my mind was "wow, he's not making me do it this way because it's the right way, but he found me a way that was Rhodi's right way I could do confidently." Cody was validating my feelings about not wanting to hurt Rhodi's feelings and continued to talk to me about ways that would not harm my dog or hurt her feelings. Simply being able to "talk" to Rhodi in a way she could understand that I was in charge and that she would still be safe and okay was the goal. In a matter of 2 hours Rhodi was trained! Cody did his job and now it's my turn to do mine with her by following through with the keys to success only Cody could have given to me.
