My husband reached out to Paul when our new golden puppy was becoming a tyrant. Paul started…read moretraining literally as soon as he walked on our porch and our puppy excitedly piddled all over Paul's boot (which he handled with great humor). He handles the dog with authority, but great kindness. He doesn't use a treat reward system, it's al based on verbal commands and encouragement. Odin responded right from the start. When he showed the stubborn side we mentioned, Paul gave us several easy techniques we were all comfortable using. After our first session, he called mid week to see how things were going and to offer a few new techniques. It only took two sessions to get us back on track. He's worth every penny!

I used Dog Guard in 2006 for my home in Westtown. Although I moved away last year in 2017 and my…read moreprecious Emma passed away suddenly and unexpectedly in 2015 I still highly recommend Chris and Dog Guard. When Emma was less than a year old she was running to and from the neighbor's house where I was chasing after her constantly. The final straw was the day that she came in contact with her future boyfriend Tully boy. I did not know that Tully boy was harmless at the time but it scared me enough that I ran all the way home and went right for the Yellow Pages. LITERALLY. True story. It was then that I had an opportunity to talk to Chris and about a week later he installed the invisible fence by Dog Guard around my 2-acre property. He also installed the monitor in the flower beds and in one room inside (where I fed the cats). The training only needed to be done once because the second time Emma wanted no part of it... She took one look at Chris and ran in the other direction.... Which means she got it from GetGo LOL not that I'm laughing really because it's sad to see your dog get zapped for the first time. But she never got zapped again. Once those yellow flags are up the dog wants no part of trying to go through them. Emma would always stay 5 to 10 feet away. Needless to say she never went through it except one time when I was on my bicycle and drove past the end of the driveway down the street. At that time though she didn't have the collar on. In her defense she was just probably a nervous wreck not wondering where I was going so she took the risk. She never wore the collar after about the first 6 months. She didn't need to. Most dogs don't. The first thing I will be doing is calling Chris to install another invisible fence after I get my next home and before I get my next dog. Note: over the years of having my dog fence I needed revisions from time to time because when I was cutting the hedges I sometimes accidentally cut the wires and Chris would have to come back. So really, he kind of became a family friend and a trustworthy source.

Great to deal with. I had an invisible fence installed by Chris and it's worked without problem…read more They are very professional, reasonable and pleasant to work with. Some time after the fence was put in someone accidentally damaged it, Chris was quick to respond and fix the fence for me. I definitely recommend working with them!

We have been through 3 trainers before we met Leroy and I have never had such a successful training lesson especially on the first day! After losing our home in hurricane sandy and our 3rd move our female dog started to become very aggressive and her anxiety was worse than ever. She started attacking our other dog and had just become out of control. After the last attack I thought we were going to have to send her away because we just didnt know what to do anymore. I reached out and Leroy answered our message. On the first day of training our dog was not only under complete control, but we understand her, what she needed and what she was trying to tell us. He gave us a lesson on structure and for us to truly understand the mind and body language of a dog. His prices are great and he's no crook. He's genuine and kind and we really enjoyed watching him bond with our dog. We are truly blessed to have found Leroy from allfordogs!

They can now relax together off-leash in the same space, and we finally feel like a whole family again. One of the biggest breakthroughs came when my dad visited. The first time they met, Caddo tried to bite him. After working with Nate, Caddo not only behaved during the next visit--he actually approached my dad for pets and affection. It was a night-and-day difference, and such a huge relief. We've only been training with Nate for a few weeks, but the results have been life-changing. I can now bring Caddo out in public--to parks, stores, and more--all because Nate pushed us outside of our comfort zone and supported us every step of the way. He helped us save a dog that everyone else gave up on, and we are forever grateful.

He was constantly eating the furniture, jumping on everyone and everything, he didn't listen when it was time to come inside and I would eventually have to carry him in the house, and he would cry and scream when it was time to put him in the crate if we were leaving or going to bed. We didn't know what to do but after looking for trainers, we came across Matt's website. After meeting with him and having him go over a few training techniques with our puppy, we knew he would be a big help. When we got the puppy back, we could see a huge change in his behavior. When Matt started his training, our puppy was 6 months old. He is now 13 months and is still just as great as when we got him back. He listens on the first command, there's no longer a struggle to come inside or go in his crate, and now he understand were the boss.

While he's talking to you, he sees how the dogs are and knows how to help! He gives you A LOT of info, but gives you the resources you need to succeed.

He does provide a holistic approach, so he will talk to you about what food and treats you give and how that may affect them too. Definitely expect to spend a good amount of time with him, because that is just how thorough he is! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
