I think this will take me at least a day or 2 to write because there's just so much genuine good to…read morewrite about this place. We really stumbled upon this place via a home trainer we got who was positive reinforcement only (prior to that we were at hufdmans's - this will be important later). The positive reinforcement trainer though nice.. I felt wasn't equipped to help me train my 2 year old Belgian Malinois. Not very many people have experience training a high drive dog like malinois so that was the reason why I took my girl to Huffman's who specializes in working breed malinois. Anyways, after 8 sessions with Huffmans (who is a balanced trainer) and 2-3 sessions with the positive only trainer I was at a loss for a trainer that could actually help us with our Mal. *quick backstory* we rescued our Mal (Beatrice) from a rescue in Texas when she was 16 months old or so. She was found with 9 puppies who she took such good care of. Apparently she was "sad" after her puppy's were adopted out. She was transported to us from Texas (where perhaps I didn't give her enough time to decompress) and from then she showed a lot of leash reactivity. She was amazing while in the house but was super over the top when we were on walks in the neighborhood. At a loss, I asked our positive only trainer if they did boarding or board and training and he said he didn't but works very closely with a trainer who does. Cue in Merissa. I contact Merissa possibly minutes after, I tell her my situation and she quickly accommodates a meet and greet for us. We were leaving out of the country for 3 weeks so we needed someone we could trust. When I met Merissa I instantly felt at ease her super calm and cool demeanor made me feel safe. However I was still skeptical that anyone would be able to reform my dog. After 8 sessions with huffman's and 2-3 sessions with the other trainer, Beatrice was still pulling and lunging like crazy. This is not due to a lack of practice with me as the owner, I trained and did everything all the trainers told me to do everyday for 1-2 hours a day! So because of this I felt that Beatrice may only get better minimally. At drop off I meet Raine who did my intake. She was very friendly and efficient. Beatrice went to her easily, but I knew Beatrice wasn't reactive to strangers but dogs. After the first 2-3 weeks I was anxious because I didn't see very many updates about Beatrice from instagram or the FB page.. I voiced this concern to Kota the Admin for Paw and Hands and she quickly got me in touch with Charlee, Beatrice's main handler. First off, let me tell you HOW responsive Kota and Charlee are. Beatrice may not have gotten a ton of updates (I'm a helicopter mom, what can I say) but speaking to Kota and Charlee always put me at ease. Both of them were always transparent. Charlee reassured me that all the training I had previously was not for naught. My training with Huffmans made Beatrice a super confident dog but Beatrice had major control issues, she may have been over confident thus creating a know it all. My training with Lucid made Beatrice better at obedience, but on her time. When I told Beatrice to do any commands she knew them all but would take her very precious time getting into that command. After being at P&H her obedience was almost as good as the sport dogs - almost... she's got crappy genes from bad breeding but she's the ABSOLUTE best version of her she can be. At the go home session Charlee went through a ton of information I knew and a ton I didn't know. She told me how she'd be in contact with me and would be calling me in a few days. The fact that these trainers and admin staff are so dedicated to the dogs and the owners speaks absolute volumes. And the funny thing is, upon leaving the facility I left with the impression that Beatrice is (slightly) better but of course there will still be a lot of continued work at home (which I already expected, 2-3 hours of exercise, play and training a day - no problem I've allocated time specifically for this). When I got her home. OH MY GOD. I don't know if it's because it's her first day back but DAMN she's WAYYYY better than I EVER expected. I was FLOORED. She never left her bed stay during dinner, her recall was SECONDS, her heel was... incredible. I honestly felt like I had a sport dog. I'll give an update after Beatrice has settled but if this is how she'll be for the rest of the time at home, this dog is completely reformed. THANK YOU CHARLEE, KOTA and MERISSA... for literally everything, every second you put in Beatrice, all the love and handling, the extra effort to make sure she's her best version of her, THANK YOU.

There are not enough good things to say about Jason and System of a Dog. Jason came to our home and…read morelistened, asked questions, and watched to see how I was training and what our dogs needs were. Holly, our 1.5 year old pit bull puppy, is very high energy and I struggled walking her, managing her excitement around dogs and people. After just a few sessions with Jason, I learned SO MUCH about dog training and how her brain works. She never pulls when walking anymore, she listens to commands, and she is excited to work with me. Jason cares about the dog and the people. He was flexible with our changing schedule and customized all of our training to what style I was comfortable with AND what we needed for our lifestyle. If you are considering working with System of a Dog, DO IT! Your dog will succeed, you will have learned a ton, and your own personal confidence will grow. Thank you so much, Jason!

And, if your dog needs sunshine, fresh air and runs, the owner, Matt, allows dogs to run with him on property. Matt was very professional, personal, warm and inviting and made it clear he was not only capable, but passionate about dogs, as I watched his interaction with my dog, Shepp and others. I know Shepp enjoyed his 5 day stay, because when we returned for the 2nd time, Shepp recognized where we were going and got excited, panting heavily, wagging his tail swiftly, and upon arrival, couldn't wait to get inside. Now, that's telling! Shepp has found a home, away from home, that we can trust, he'll be well taken care of and loved while we're away. When we returned a day late due to missing a flight, and stuck in an airport, Matt was accessible and understood us having to recover Shepp a day late. I've already recommended All Breed to neighbors in our RV park located in the heart of Salem. Our RV park has many long term residents and it doesn't provide a "real space" for dogs to stretch their legs. All Breed can be a safe, affordable and loving option to offset this, even if, it's just for a day. Edith & Louis Jones 40ft Coachman Sportscoach Pathfinder MotorHome Fulltime RVers Living the dream
