I sent my dog, Luna, to a three-week board-and-train program at Applause Your Paws in Miami, and I…read morecouldn't be happier with the results. After six months of searching and speaking to trainers across multiple states and Canada, I found them through a TikTok video. When I called, Taryn's incredible customer service, patience, and empathy made the process so much easier. She answered all my questions and worked with me on payments to create the best package for Luna. Before drop-off, I met Wil during an unplanned tour, and his honesty and confidence reassured me I was making the right choice. Wil went above and beyond during Luna's training. Knowing I was anxious, he modified the standard report cards to include videos with voiceovers explaining her progress and the reasoning behind each exercise. This thoughtful gesture made me feel connected to the process and will help me reinforce her training at home. Before the program, Luna was reactive--not aggressive but overly excitable. After three weeks, she's still her fun, wacky self, but now she listens, follows commands, and stays calm around other dogs. While there's still work to do, her foundation is strong, and I'm confident moving forward. Luna is now a service dog in training, and Applause Your Paws laid the groundwork to make that possible. I'm already planning to send her back this summer because they're amazing at what they do. I'm so grateful to Wil, Taryn, and the entire team for their care and dedication!

I would strongly advise anyone considering AYP Training to think twice before sending their dog…read morethere. After having our dog for 24 days, it became very clear there was a complete lack of communication, professionalism, and understanding of our living situation. We live in a high-rise condo, yet somehow they spent weeks training our dog to go outside in a backyard setting -- something that does not apply to our home at all. How this was never clarified during nearly a month of training is beyond concerning. What's even more upsetting is that our dog came back terrified of car rides, which was never an issue before. As owners, that is heartbreaking to witness. After reviewing the videos and conditions of the trainer's home, we were honestly shocked. The house appeared trashed, chaotic, and nowhere near the professional environment we were promised when paying for "professional" dog training services. Nothing about this experience reflected the level of care, structure, or quality that was advertised. We invested a significant amount of money trusting this company with our dog, and the results were disappointing from start to finish. Between the misrepresentation, poor communication, and lack of professionalism, this experience felt extremely misleading. Save your money and do your research before trusting this company with your pet.

Absolutely amazing place!…read more We originally wanted a puppy to get into agility with, so after some basic obedience courses we were referred by our trainer to Paws In Motion to begin training for agility. I gave Tracy, the owner, a call and gave her a background history on our 10mo old Sheltie and where we hoped to be with him in the future. Aside from doing agility for fun, we also really wanted to add some titles to his name. Tracy recommended we try a 6-week a Sports Sampler course to see which sports we liked and which ones our dog liked. Although we were set on starting foundations for agility, we signed up for the course and hoped for the best. My boyfriend, my dog, and I all really look forward to this class every week with Shayla. She is an awesome trainer and is so sweet with our Archer. Every week we try a different dog sport, from rally to agility to treiball to tricks and balancing. The class is really fun and the hour goes by so quickly!! I'm glad we took the sampler course after all, and will begin agility foundation as planned once this course is through. Hopefully Shayla will be teaching that as well!!

My only regret is not coming to Richard sooner. I have had 4 dog trainers before him and absolutely…read moreno one was able to create the positive change I have seen in my dog. My dog was dog aggressive, could never take her to a dog park, taking her on a walk or anywhere where we could possibly encounter another dog was a nightmare. She was stubborn and would listen to me maybe 50% of the time on a good day. Everyone told me to use positive methods, take her near a dog park and give her treats every time she looks at a dog. None of that worked. I was told she was reactive and I just needed to accept that. But my dog was so reactive and fearful she was not enjoying life. On the first day with Richard, I saw an immediate change, she was able to walk by a dog and not even bark or lunge or make a sound. It was crazy! Richard was right... coming into this my dog didn't trust me and let me tell you his methods not only improved my dog's life but improved my relationship with my dog. By the third day of training my dog was in the dog park, playing and running around with other dogs and you could see how happy she was, it was like a weight of fear was lifted off her shoulders, I could not believe it. Now I go to dog parks two to three times a week. At first, I was skeptical about e-collar training, but seeing how quick and effective it was and how knowledgeable Richard was with this I definitely grew more comfortable with it and am convinced there truly is no other way, but the most important thing here is Richard. He knows exactly what he is doing, I would not trust anyone else at this point. The Miami Dog Whisperer has my absolute highest recommendation, I will only train my future dogs with him. Thank you so much Richard!!

Although I used to bring my cherished dogs here regularly, after the extremely poor customer…read moreservice I received last week from the female groomer I have decided to take my business elsewhere. After waiting my turn (there was a customer ahead of me) the groomer (who was the one scheduled for my dogs) decided to give service to another customer who had entered after me. She completely ignored me and took care of another client, with no acknowledgment that I was waiting. All the while chatting with the other customer and complaining about changes to her shift. After waiting almost 10 more minutes for her to take my dogs, and with no apology for the wait whatsoever, I made my opinion known to her. All she could say was she didn't think the other customer would take that long. I made my dissatisfaction known and she decided that she will not accept my dogs. The attitude was awful. No attempt at all to address her poor customer service. I left with my dogs and immediately scheduled them elsewhere for the same price . I will not return to this store, neither for service nor products. Turned off. I lost +/- an hour of my day. They lost a steady customer who will now use delivery and in home service.
