I adopted a mixed breed dog at 6 weeks. He was unruly and I took him to 2 training sessions at a…read morereputable facility. When he was 2 he was even more aggressive and uncontrollable I told my vet I thought I needed to find a new home for him. We were heartbroken. My vet suggested Ben at American Canine Training and he came to our rescue. He and Melanie taught my dog manners and obedience and me how to gain control and confidence over my alpha dog. They worked hard and patiently and and never gave up even when I got frustrated-it was well worth it. He and my family are much happier and look forward to many more years of friendship and love that I thought we could never have. They literally saved my dog's life!

Mike at K.I.S.S. Dog training has made a monumental impact not only on our Australian Cattle Dog,…read moreBernie, but our whole family. We started out as a complex case due to Bernie's reactivity towards other people, a variety of objects (mainly those with wheels), hyperactivity, etc. We learned how to keep Bernie under his threshold so he gets to practice good behavior as much as possible. We went through his Babies Don't Bark course and Bernie is now the best older brother to my one month old! I never would have imagined Bernie would be walking next to a stroller or staying calm by lying off to the side when people/dogs pass by but sure enough he's doing it...still with lots of cheese to motivate him :-) Mike helped us get anxiety meds started, which has made a big difference, and has normalized wearing a muzzle! I won't sugar coat the amount of work and patience it takes to keep up on training but it's been worth it. Mike is so responsive in emails (within hours of asking a question) and has lots of YouTube videos and books to help owners. Training a dog is a life long experience! Last year I felt overwhelmed but now I have a better understanding of how to help Bernie in different situations so I feel in control. Special shout-out to Angela for being so helpful with scheduling! Thank you!!

I really appreciate all that he has done for me and my pup. He has made the training process much easier than I thought it would be, and he makes it much more fun too.

I paid $2400.00 for my severely anxious dog that was involved in a very traumatic event, they sold me something that was not right for her and 3 days later when I cancelled they refused my $ back.

I was told that I need to work on training with my dog several times a day for 6 weeks (minimum) to get the results I want. A big waste of money. Save the nearly $3000 this training costs by just buying an e collar for $100 and train the dog yourself. That is what they will tell you to do anyway when they return your dog to you.
