Before I discovered all American K-9 I was 100% disappointed and discouraged with all of the…read moreprevious training and gadgets that I had tried. I could not figure out why nothing was working. A colleagusuggested that I try a dog trainer named Bob Solomini that he had used in the past. His passion and confidence in Bob convinced me and even though I was very skeptical and worn out I decided to give it one last try. I am excited to tell you about my invaluable experience and what I learned from it: -my dog was only a small part of the problem, but the majority of the behavioral problems stemmed from me. Dogs aren't born knowing how to behave the way humans would like them to, so we as responsible dog owners need to teach them. -we don't automatically realize what we are doing wrong and unless a true professional who really cares can teach us the correct way we can't be sure that we will ultimately have a happy relationship with our pet. -after four years of pulling my hair out and stressful walks with my dog I wound up moving to a new neighborhood, and my dog was totally out of control when I walked him. When he saw people with dogs, he went crazy and I could not stop him from barking and pulling. In fact, he pulled me down a couple of times where I sprained my ankle and another time where I hurt my knee. In fact, most of my neighbors walked the other way when they saw us and complained about my dog's bad behavior. After the first lesson, I immediately knew that I had found something different. Humane, focused,, professional, and results driven. I am so lucky that I found all American K-9 and especially Bob Solomini. I love walking my dog now, and all of my neighbors have praised the incredible transformation that they see. This was literally a life-changing experience for my dog and for me. I am so thankful that I found somebody that really knows what they're doing and really cares -not only is Bob a great person, but also the Best dog trainer that I have ever met. I highly recommend this trainer and business to anyone who is serious about having a great dog!

We searched for months to find a dog trainer who was not only effective but also responsive and…read moretrustworthy. It wasn't easy. Once we found All-American K-9 and Erika, we knew we had hit the jackpot. We handed our sweet (but crazy) Labrador over to her for a 3-week Board & Train, with a little trepidation. After 3 weeks, we were amazed to get back the most well-behaved, calm dog. Not only did Erika train Finn, but she also taught us how to keep up the training. The responsiveness is unparalleled. I always get well-thought-out and specific answers to my questions within a few hours. I also love that this isn't just a one-and-done training. We have lifetime access in case we have questions, which is a relief, since we have someone who knows Finn and can help in the future. The Board & Train might not be affordable for everyone, but it was absolutely worth every penny. I wish we had found Erika months ago.

Does your dog injure your other pets, growl at you, or even bite you? Well, mine did. How about basic obedience training? Does your dog sit when you say sit, or come when you call? Mine did not. In my adult life I have raised five dogs from puppies to adulthood and Cleo the Pomsky was by far the worst dog I've ever had. She had separation anxiety, clinical claustrophobia, and a nevious panting and drooling problem. She was everything I mentioned above, and then some. She had no respect for humans, no intention to coexist in a home with others, and no comprehension of the concept of man's best friend. I did a good thing. I rescued a puppy, but after living with Cleo for about a year, I was at my wits' end. I just couldn't imagine another eight or more years of urine soaked floors, poop everywhere, bleeding dog bites, doggie anarchy, a child afraid of her own pet, and a home with no boundaries. I knew we would not be able to keep Cleo any longer if we did not get some good professional help- and fast! We had burned through three highly recommended dog trainers, a certified animal behaviorist, and even a doggie psychic, with no improvement at all. I felt defeated. I felt I had exhausted all my resources at home here in Los Angeles, so out of total desperation I made the decision to track down an exceptional dog trainer I had worked with successfully in the past. Twelve years ago, when I live in Phoenix, Arizona, Toni Drugmand trained my Japanese Akita, Roxy. Before Toni, Roxy was aloof and unresponsive to average training methods. At first I was hesitant, but it turned out I just didn't fully understand how e-collar training really worked. In the right hands, it's not meant to hurt your dog. It's just meant to get his attention and help him focus. After one visit with Toni, I understood the method and I was on board! Roxy became the most obedient and loyal dog I have ever had the pleasure of owning. Roxy is long gone now, but when she was alive people would stop us on the street to compliment me on my well behaved companion and ask for the name of my trainer! After remembering my past experience with Toni and Roxy, my mind was made up. We needed the best. We needed TONI DRUGMAND! So I scoured the internet, then e-mailed her with my dilemma. Her office responded promptly to suggest we have a phone consultation since we lived in different states. We lived too far away to do weekly in home and group training sessions, so Toni agreed to board and train Cleo for three weeks if I could just get her to Arizona. A few weeks later, I took a weekend off work and we drove Cleo to Toni's training facility. Cleo experienced Toni's standard three week board and train package. Toni sent me daily updates on Cleo's progress via video clips and pictures sent directly to my phone. When we returned to pick up Cleo, Toni did individual on and off leash training sessions with every family member in a public place full of doggie distractions. She wanted to make sure each of us knew exactly how to maintain Cleo's training at home. Cleo was a whole new dog! She was more affectionate, more interested in attention from people, more relaxed, followed all basic commands on and off leash (sit, heel, come, place, off, and was even starting to learn the amazing sit in motion!), was potty trained for the first time in her life, and stayed on her "place" even under distraction! Toni fixed Cleo. That's what it comes down to. If you need a dog trainer for any reason, big or small, look no further. Toni is the right choice. In my opinion, Toni Drugmand is the ONLY choice. If she can rehabilitate Cleo, she can train any dog, so call her now. Your dog will thank you.

My 81 year old mom moved to an urban setting with a small yard and a neighborhood with lots of…read moresmall, yappy dogs that sets off reactivity in her German Shepherd. Although the dog has been through several training programs, she had recently reverted back to being reactive on leash: barking, pulling, and lunging at any dog that barked at her or gave her a "look". Thankfully I found Rob's Dogs through a search online. Rob offers dog training either through individual sessions sold as a packet of 8 or 3, or you can elect to do a board and train method. Since my mom's dog had done two board and trains with other training facilities in Florida and Texas, I opted for the individual sessions sold as a packet of 3. Not to disparage the other training schools, I want to note that the dog had learned a great deal of commands, but she was a little rusty and selective when doing them and was selectively reactive on leash around other dogs. What we needed was a trainer that could come to my mom's neighborhood and see the dog being reactive in the environment where she was going to be walked. Thankfully Rob's Dogs offered this as an option. It cost a significant amount to do this, but it was possible. The additional cost was for the mileage and drive time to my mom's place. We had a meet and greet at the facility. Rob, the owner, met with us and got the back story on the dog and the current behavior problems. He took the dog and walked her around a bit and near other dogs, tested her response to commands and leash pressure. He explained the package options available to us. He also made us aware that we would be using both a prong collar and e-collar to reinstate her former training. We had these tools, but my mom hadn't used them with the dog since she left Florida, and I had never used them. We were assigned a trainer who was contracted by Rob. Lauryn was super friendly and had a love and full understanding of the German Shepherd breed. She herself had a German Shepherd. She went over the operation of the two collars which I was not familiar with at all. Rob's dogs sent us a link and password so that we could watch some important training videos. His website also had some very useful training tips. I highly recommend watching/reading this information carefully and then reviewing it again each week. It's easy for owners to slip into bad habits quickly which results in their dogs behaving in ways they don't want. You will have to enforce rules and get into a routine. Restrictions can be lifted once the dog consistently behaves as desired. You will find that YOU will have to do the hard work. The trainer and Rob's Dogs will assess your current situation and give you the tools and training to use those tools to reinforce good behaviors. It won't happen overnight. You will need to work with the dog for at least an hour each day to reinforce the seven commands and expectations. As I mentioned, we only had three sessions. This training was going to determine whether or not my mom could keep and handle her dog. Immediately after the first session, we started using the tools and putting restrictions in place inside the house to set the law of the land. Right away, we noticed a difference. While the dog was already really well behaved in the house, it improved her response to us when we walked her outside of the house. The prong collar made a drastic difference in her behavior when she saw other yappy dogs on the walk. I no longer had to worry about her lunging, pulling or barking incessantly in an aggressive stance. She still got up, moved forward, and barked once, but it was all very controlled. I didn't have to use all of my strength to hold her back. The real test came when my mom was able to walk her dog around other yappy dogs. After session two, my mom was easily able to do this, and I felt confident that continuing this training would allow my mom to keep her dog. Her German Shepherd is sometimes still reactive, but it is much more controlled and manageable now. In time, and with continued consistent practice, I believe my mom's dog will eventually stop the reactivity altogether. She has already shown amazing progress and only slips occasionally. If you are looking for effective dog training (well, really we know it is human training to learn how to effectively communicate with the dog), then consider Rob's Dogs. You will work hard to get your dog's behavior issues resolved, but the longterm results will allow you to have a wonderful relationship with your pet.

I was told it was going to cost anywhere from $3000-$16000. I understood it was going to be expensive but that is way out of the price range I am able to budget. I then said I could only spend up to $2000 on it , being 24 and just recently getting a new job. The trainer told me I was going to "flush the $2000 down the drain" and that Champ would most likely not get better. He then was going to refer me to someone else and then said "you might need to REHOME" the dog. I was like "WHAT?!". I couldn't believe he told me to basically get rid of my dog because I wasn't planning on using his services. I said that the conversation was over and that was that. It was truly unprofessional and feel like I was treated horribly. In scheduling my phone call the man that was taking my name and number down was also very abrasive in the way he was speaking to me.

Second "Training" Session - More of the same and about 45 minutes on the treadmill. Our puppy is a Boston Terrier and is approximately 15 lbs. Tom was flipping her through air with harsh tugs on the leash. That prompted me to yell at him to "stop yanking her by her esophagus"! This past week, she has reacted oddly when either of us even touches her collar. Related? We are not qualified to say but we certainly do question. Third "Training" Session today - As I requested in person and in the following text I sent him one week ago, I asked him to provide a list of what would be accomplished in upcoming sessions. Tom was adament that he would tell me what he would cover but HE WAS UNWILLING TO LIST ANYTHING IN WRITING. He expected $2,700.00 for training but refused to put in writing what he was going to do for that very material amount. That is his way of claiming we misunderstood what was in our notes, that he never committed to whatever we took issue with. This is common for people with a history of unsatisfied clients.
