We had never had a dog trainer in past but knew we wanted very well behaved dogs in our future. After a fair amount of research, we called Alert Canine Training and spoke with Matt. We liked him instantly and began working with him right away. He has the patience of a saint with our puppies, and with us humans too! He understands the dogs and has a way to get them to do what is expected. His price is reasonable, and he worked around our very busy schedules. Our puppies are awesome, and very well behaved.

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!

Sadly, there is no 0 star reviews option. My son was bit by…read morea dog in Joe's care last Saturday night while doing holiday shopping with his Mom on Bedford Ave in Brooklyn. Erica and Jude (2 years old) were passing in the opposite direction to Joe and the dog on a crowded crosswalk. The dog grabbed Jude by the hand and started to dragging him away from his mothers grip. There was lots of blood and Erica rushed Jude to the nearest pediatric hospital. Joe initially gave us the wrong phone number, refused to answer calls/texts when the hospital asked for the dogs vaccination records. Luckily, we had a picture of the rabies tag and were able to get the records from the vet directly and ask them to have the owner call us. The owners rescued this severely abused Pitbull and were doing their best to rehabilitate her. The dog had a long history of biting and was never allowed out of their home without a muzzle. Being understandably out of their depth they sought out an experienced professional dog trainer to help with the dogs problematic behavior. Joe boarded the dog for 6 weeks in his home in Fishkill to work on training with her. The walk down Bedford Ave was "a test" for the dog to see if he had resolved her biting issue- clearly he hadn't. Joe brought the dog to the owners for a home visit right after the biting incident and mentioned nothing of the unprovoked attack. The owners were only told the next day when their vet called with our request for vaccination records. The owners immediately called us shocked and horrified that this happened as they would have never allowed the dog to be walked in public without a muzzle. They were further confused as to why Joe decided not to tell them himself as he saw them minutes after the incident. We have since sent Joe the bill for the taxi rides to ER and back home- no response. Our insurance covered the prescription antibiotics and there was no co-pay for the ER visit. It will be 4-6 week for the final bill from the hospital and we have no idea what that will be. Unfortunately, Joe has left the owners financially liable for his poor choices by going missing in action. I would take all this info on board if you are considering using his services. We all make mistakes, that said there is a continued pattern of poor decision making on Joe's behalf which has only forced the situation to escalate- hence the bad review. We in no way blame the abused dog who has had a severely traumatized life or the owners who are doing their best to get the dog the help it needs. We 100% blame Joe as he refuses to do the right thing over and over again. Update... after leaving scathing reviews this morning on both Yelp/Facebook and the dogs owner calling Joe Miller (aka Dynamic Dog Training) demanding he settle the bill asap we received payment for the cab fare through Venmo. Tis' a true Christmas miracle. The excuse was "sorry I just saw your text" from 5 days ago- bless.

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!

Okay so. Taking Nala to her new trainer/sitter for my trip was ABSOLUTE HELL…read more With her history, I expected a bit of a challenge but nothing like what happened. Please keep in mind we've been through 2 trainers that wanted absolutely nothing to do with her. Also recommended euthanasia. Also, no one would board her. No one. I had to put on my horse boots so I could get a better grip on the ground because she was pulling so hard to either go after him, or me pulling he towards the house and let me tell you- Mastiffs are strong. And I work with horses. Lol. She HATED her new trainer. Barked aggressively at him and threatened him. Felix Rosado was un-phased and calm. It took a lot of logistics and strength to get her into his house and in a crate (I had to do it because she was definitely going to bite him with me around) Felix again, unphased. Almost an hour long drop off. A lot of drama. I admit, I cried in the car afterwards. Then I was thinking....WTF. How is he going to handle her or get near her?! She wanted to eat him. Felix's references put my mind at ease and I did my best not to think about it. This is my baby. I stress. Nope. For once, I felt comfortable. I found someone with the balls to work with her. I respect the shit out of anyone willing to risk an attack to wrk with a misunderstood, aggressive dog. He's obviously very passionate about what he does. That in itself speaks volumes. Not only did Felix keep in touch with me throughout her stay with updates (I call them "PupDates"), he sent me a video of him scratching her, giving massages that same night Nala was putty in his hands. I picked her up today, she didn't give a shit about me. Loved him. LMAO. I came home from my trip with a very happy dog that made a new friend/trainer. I look forward to working more with them both because they're a great couple. I'm so happy and relieved. Thank you Felix Rosado!
