Mike and his team are extremely professional and exceptional at what they do. Moose had issues with everything from digging and biting to pulling on the leash and difficulties with kennel training. Within two weeks with their board and train program, moose was a new dog. He was just as lovey as he was before, but now a great listener as well. Mike and his team helped us learn how to communicate with Moose. If I could give this company 20 stars, I would. I trust Mike with Moose, and I recommend this company to anyone who is looking to train their dog. Don't hesitate.. book with All Dogs Unleashed!!

Tonja was a gift from dog-heaven! My 7-year old, 4 pound Maltese (Betsy) was having problems with…read moreanxiety (she would rarely settle down), barking and aggression towards other dogs and people for the past year and a half, since my 13 y/o German Shorthair passed (who by the way was not a barker and never aggressive). I tried another trainer and the methods didn't work but Tonja came in, assessed the issues, explained why Betsy felt the need to take over as leader, gave me exercises and non-physical corrections to use and Betsy is even better than her old self! Going in I knew that I was the one needing training and made the commitment to both of us to do as told and I'm so happy I did! Tonja doesn't sugar coat things but she isn't rude either. While I appreciate that, I suspect the person who left a one-star review who also owns a small dog wasn't wanting to hear what she really needed to hear and didn't really want to put in the time to make her ankle biter less yappy! Dogs behave similarly regardless of size and I'm as guilty as any for letting a tiny one get by with more than I have with my larger dogs. It's been 3 weeks now and we are still doing our exercises and continue to be better all the time when out for walks and seeing other dogs. For the first time in a long time, she'll calmly lay in my lap! I've also used Tonja for boarding Betsy and it's the first time she has been boarded that she ate while I was gone and came back rested and relaxed! Love Mystic Moon and everything Tonja stands for and does!

Tonja and her husband Chuck are truly the greatest things since sliced bread! We adopted a 1 year…read moreold terrier mix named Chico that had very little training when we got him. He came from a home with a lot of other dogs and so he was very anxious/aggressive around other dogs. When he would see another dog, his hair would stand up, he would growl, and would drag us towards the dog when we were walking him outside. We tried to do training on our own with no success. When we started looking up dog trainers, we couldnt believe the prices. $100 an hour? We can't afford that. What if it takes 12 hours? That's a lot of money. Although Chico is worth it, we just couldn't fathom spending that kind of money. We continued searching and came across Mystic Moon. They were affordable and had top notch reviews, so we decided to give them a try. Sunday came around and we anxiously pulled up to our first class praying that he didn't attack another dog or something. As we walked in, he was pulling us, growling, barking, and jumping. Tonja walked over and told us to put a training collar on him and directed us to seats that were a little away from the group so that he could calm down and we could try to train him without distractions. Now, fast forward to week 4 (4 hours total of training classes and doing the homework that Tonja and Chuck assigned us every week)...he is a completely different dog. Chico is no longer the aggressive dog he was before. He doesn't bark, pull, or growl when another dog comes around. His hair no longer stands up and he seems to have more confidence. When we started this journey, we had little hope. Everyone told us that based on his past and his breed, he will more than likely always be aggressive and that he might get better when he gets older. I truly thank God every day that we came across Mystic Moon. Chico is quickly becoming the dog we have hoped he would be and we are quickly becoming the parents that he needs and deserves. If you need someone to help you train your dog, look no further. Tonja and Chuck are the real deal.

Kai's Obedience is a really unique training program and we've had a great experience so far. The…read moreclasses are engaging and actually fun to attend, and Kai does a great job keeping everyone involved while still expecting a lot from both the dogs and their owners. What really stands out is that this isn't just basic puppy training. The program goes far beyond simple commands, and dogs can continue on to earn certifications and develop much more advanced obedience skills. Watching the more experienced dogs walk completely off leash and follow commands with total focus is incredibly impressive. Kai clearly knows what he's doing and the structure of the program helps both dogs and owners stay consistent. If you're looking for a place where your dog can truly learn strong obedience skills and keep progressing over time, Kai's Obedience is a great option.

Deb is my trainer, she's very hands on, patient and great to and with my dogs. I saw an immediate change in them. They are far from "fixed" but we are working on it and taking it a step at a time. I can't thank Deb enough for giving me the guidance to correct their behavior w/out strong/aggressive tactics. Bark Busters and Deb specifically are great. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. I've used other dog trainers but have found profound issues with how they treated the owner and/or the dogs. Deb treats us all with respect.

I have had other in home trainers in the past and definitely would recommend Clint over anyone else. We had Clint in our home for I believe six in home sessions for our year old German Shepherd rescue, Konah. We adopted Konah at 8 months after she was abandoned by her original owners. We did not have a lot of information on her upbringing. She started exhibiting concerning behaviors every time we had guests over, she would not stop barking, she also had lunged at and nipped at a few guests - which can be really scary for a guest to have a 70 lbs German Shepherd lunge at them. She would also freak out on walks anytime we walked past other people, especially if they had a dog as well. In general at home, Konah is such a great dog, she is a huge cuddle bug and sweet as can be. She also excelled at two different group training basic obedience classes, so we were really not sure how to stop these fear based behaviors with guests and strangers. Clint was a huge help!! He provided us with tools and support and was very responsive to any emails when we had questions and concerns for Konah. He would go on walks with us to observe her behavior. He was very kind and polite to us and very understanding. He provided us with great insight into what was happening with our usually sweet as can be pup. She still has a lot of work to do, but I wouldn't hesitate to ask for his help again. It is not a miracle solution for your dog and you will have to be willing and patient to put in a lot of work with difficult behaviors!
