    Cooper and his favorite dog trainer Dean, of Double D Dog Training!
    Jane N.

    Can't recommend Double D Dog Training highly enough! It's been exactly a year since Dean trained our English Doodle puppy when he was only 8 weeks old. Loved the training in our own home since Cooper didn't have all his shots yet! we all loved Dean and looked forward to training day cuz it was so much FUN! We did Puppy and Advanced Training. Cooper is well behaved. Sits for pats, waits at the door/gate until told it's ok to go. Sits for passing cars and walks great on the leash. He doesn't react when the 3 barking dogs charge the fence on our walks. Thanks Double D for helping us set a great foundation and build an amazing relationship with our Coop Coop!

    I couldn't be happier with Dean at Double D Dog Training! I enrolled my chihuahua, Princess, in the 4-session basic training class. Princess learned the commands sit, touch, look at me, wait & stay. During the 4 weeks, a friend was looking to rehome her chihuahua, Honey. I was happy to adopt Honey except for one problem: my sweet Princess was very reactive to other dogs. Double D introduced me to the Engage/Disengage game. After several "games" between Honey & Princess, it finally clicked for Princess. They are now the best of friends.....all thanks to Double D Dog Training!!

    Graduation day!

    We have seen night and day improvements with our two year old Chihuahua mix. He is a little man with a big personality and Dean helped us better understand him and his needs to be able to continuously work with him. We would get very nervous bringing him around new people and dogs in particular and now we are more confident in him. Dean is very knowledgeable and patient as we were all learning new habits for Bear. Bear will definitely miss his new friend Double D a.k.a. Mr. treat man. We really appreciate all the guidance with Bear

    I cannot rave about Dean enough! His training has completely changed the way my dog Teddy behaves. Dean taught Teddy and I so much in just 4 training sessions. Dean listened to all my struggles/concerns with Teddy and started working with him when he was 10 months old. I worried it was too late and Teddy had already learned bad habits. However, I was so wrong. I saw a huge difference after practicing a few things Dean showed us during the first session. With positive reinforcement and consistent practice at home, Teddy was finally listening and dropping bad habits. My favorite thing is that you can see just how passionate Dean is about training dogs. He loves it and truly wants to help them do their best! Dean's prices are unbeatable for training that is tailored to your dogs needs. It was so helpful to have him in my home to see how Teddy acts and how our home is set up. Dean was great at communicating and frequently texted to check in on Teddy. I felt so comfortable knowing I could text any time I had questions or issues. I cannot recommend Dean's training services enough!!!

    We used Dean & Double D Dog Training to help us with our 7 month old Blue Heeler Shepherd mix, Benny. Our initial goal was to get Benny some basic training and manners, so we can get him into agility and intermediate training. Dean was so patient and encouraging to help us positively reinforce Benny in his training. By the end of our four sessions of Obedience Training, Benny completed sit, stay, lay down, wait, shake, leave it, walked calmly on a leash, AND off to stop jumping on us. We were so happy with the results, that we followed up and did another 4 sessions of the Advanced Obedience Training. Dean was very accommodating in meeting us and helping us socialize Benny at dog parks, and the Pearl as well. We had so much fun with Dean and his training, and Benny can't wait to see him again!

Taz and Kendall not only are great trainers but you can tell they genuinely care about the dogs. Frankly that is the single most important quality I look for in a trainer.

Highly recommend !

    *using same review from broadway location since we train at both facilities *…read more In 2021, i thought that my people/dog aggressive blue heeler was unfixable and possessed the potential fate of being put down. It is now Jan 3, 2023 and I am truly so happy with SMS. My consultation was late December 2021 with Austin at the Broadway location. I explained to him my concerns and goals and he was very enthusiastic about Bojack's potential with the program. Austin had me test the e-collar for my own reassurance as an owner. (test was on fatty area of the palm). I never had doubts about using this sort of training tool, especially with a dog like Bojack which I knew needed something more than just a "good boy! here's a pat on the head". Bojack did the 6 day course where he attended a daycare-like setting at the Broadway facility 3 days for 2 weeks. (He was muzzled for each class which I fully supported). After every class, I would get a lesson on what Bojack learned such as how to use the e-collar and the basic commands that follow with it, (heel, place, sit, down, stay, come). Bojack already knew these commands from a previous program he did but I was mostly looking forward to the years' worth of group classes that are included in the price. (these group classes were the absolute selling point for me. I was very dedicated to Bojack's progress). Bo's first group class was Jan 27, 2022. It has been almost an entire year and I truly can't believe the progress he has made with SMS. In these past 12 months, Bo has truly mastered most of the commands and exercises that we do during group class. Bojack has now been accepted into the brand new Advanced II class that will consist of weekly field trips for higher-skilled exercises and a more challenging environment. This is all credited towards the amazing trainers he has seen throughout the year: Patricia and Mike throughout the year, Zach for the last half of the year and Isaac for these past couple weeks. (also a big thank you to all the trainees/newer employees that help run the facility). I am not going to lie, Bojack still has reactivity issues, but I have accepted and so should you, (if you are a severely reactive dog owner), that these behaviors will likely not go away due to many unique reasons. BUT, what you CAN do is learn how to be proactive. Proactivity and consistency is the key for owning dogs like these. You can't expect to drop a couple grand on SMS, not attend any group classes and then expect a cured dog. Those group classes are absolutely vital to you and your dog's training abilities. Being consistent is so important, I can't stress that enough. With the dedication I put into Bo and SMS for the past 12 months, I can now take Bo to any crowded place and feel confident in his ability to execute an excellent heel walk while walking by distractions amongst other commands. Thank you trainers and Lisa for the environment you created, for the training you provided and the confidence you instilled in me and Bo :)

    We waited a full year to share our experience with All Dogs Unleashed to reflect the long-term…read moreimpact on our dogs. While staff were friendly, the program felt largely misrepresented to us. In October 2024, we enrolled our two dogs (8 y/o + 2 y/o) in a 4-week board-and-train program specifically to address resource guarding. Both dogs had a history of resource guarding, which we had managed successfully, but the behavior had recently escalated and we wanted professional support. We were assured multiple times that resource guarding would be addressed through individualized obedience training. Communication during training was limited. We had to initiate contact, and updates generally indicated that the dogs were doing well. No concerns were raised to us about their behavior or suitability for the program. Upon returning home, our younger dog appeared extremely fearful and hesitant, taking nearly 15 minutes to approach us despite reassurance. During the "live demo," commands like "place" were enforced with excessive e-collar corrections. The dogs seemed confused, stressed, and did not appear to have any understanding of the commands being given. Bad manners, like jumping, were still present even during this session. When we asked how resource guarding had been addressed, the sole reason we signed up, the trainer said, "We never saw this behavior ourselves, so it wasn't addressed," without further elaboration. The dogs displayed resource guarding behaviors during this session, and she instructed us to "just use the e-collar whenever they do something you don't want," which directly contradicted advice from the manager that punishing guarding could significantly worsen it. When we raised concerns multiple times both during this session and afterward, we generally felt dismissed and were told for a long time to "let them adjust" before seeking more training. Our youngest began frequently urinating in her crate, a behavior she had never displayed before. When we asked about this, we were recommended to see a vet. They did offer another training session, but we ultimately felt it was not the right decision to continue with them. A veterinarian confirmed her urination was stress-related, consistent with the behaviors we noticed during the return session. She has since required daily anti-anxiety medication for fear-based behaviors that arose immediately after she returned home. Over a year later, their obedience is unchanged from before the program, and we have had to cope with long-term stress and anxiety for our dogs. We spent about $5,000 on a program that failed to address our primary concern and left lasting negative effects on us. We don't recommend this business and encourage anyone seeking professional training to choose a trainer whose approach is tailored to their dogs' specific needs and training goals.

Hilary picked up our pup Monica and then Aubry, who was a significant part of Monica's training, dropped her off and showed us how to handle our pup now that she has learned her manners. Monica doesn't bark unnecessarily, and knows how to stop barking when asked. She does not run out of the house when I'm unloading groceries. And the craziest thing, she doesn't steal my toddlers food from the coffee table. Walking on a leash without pulling is another miracle she learned while in the care of All Dogs Unleashed. Their program was worth every penny and I wish we did it sooner!

I asked one of the workers, he was a male with a beard he had curly blondish white hair, I asked him if I could see the cat and he responded, Well, are you interested in adopting? and I said maybe I'm not sure yet. Then he says you can only see the cats if you're committed to adopting. I'm thinking to myself how am I supposed to know if I want to adopt this cat if I can't even touch it or hold it or play with it? How am I supposed to know if I want a cat through a glass screen? As soon as he said that to me, I walked out. This is not only unfair to customers, but also unfair to the kittens who deserve to be played with and get attention in love. This worker is prohibiting cats from getting adopted plain as that. this worker was also a more heavyset guy and he needs to be fired. Someone please identify him. This is totally unfair to customers and especially the kittens that are looking for new homes. This is not even allowing them the chance to get adopted. People might just come in and see cats and fall in love with a cat without even wanting to adopted first. Fix this system! I just hope these cats get adopted through a fair process! Fix it. keep in mind this is never happened to me before and I come to petsmart all the time. I even adopted my cat from a different petsmart. it is the employee's fault.

I understand there is limited staff, and I realize they have to turn their attention to other customers and tasks, but I would have liked to watch our dog more through the back windows before committing to leaving her there for the day. I'm guessing there were between 70 and 100 dogs in the play area, and most seemed well-adjusted and content. However, it seemed a bit much, and I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving our dog there. She loves playing but could not connect with any specific dog and was overwhelmed by the many dogs showing interest in her. We watched for at most 10 minutes, and the whole time, she was looking to hide, running from the other dogs with her tail between her legs. The staff was present, monitoring behavior and cleaning up, so the issue for me is the number of dogs, not the staff. I asked if there was a maximum number of dogs they allowed, and without a yes or no, I was told the number of kennels they had, which was over 250. The kennels can hold more than one dog at a time, so it's feasible that 300 dogs could be there if all the kennels were full. The kennels are in a climate-controlled warehouse-type area with individual chain-link "suites" and the regular areas. The difference is a little more square footage, and a webcam comes with the suite. I'd summarize this place as the big box store of doggy daycares where you'll get everything you need, but not necessarily the best experience for the pet. This review is based on my personal experience. I am not seeking a refund, to be made whole again, or for changes to be made. It is simply informative.
