My partner and I were happy with the results from a private session with Lynn. The best takeaway…read morewas her advice on crating our dog, which has made the process far less stressful for each of us. She taught us a few training games which have been great to use too. After that private session, we were really looking forward to the Mastering the Leash Walk workshop. Based on the training philosophy listed on the company's website, Lynn's recommendation, online reviews, and the class description we thought this workshop would help us improve walks with our rescue pup. Unfortunately the experience didn't meet those expectations. One [very large and awesome mastiff] puppy took over the instructor's attention and barked for much of the workshop, which made it hard to engage in the class. The dog was sweet, but obviously had very little training (nor had it been neutered, which was surprising for a group class) and disrupted instruction and learning. Although we respect Cesar Milan's training methods, it was disappointing that Max seemed to recite book content without fully showing how to implement those methods in the leash walk. The class description said be ready to enjoy walking with your dog off-leash, by your side. We didn't expect drastic change, but at least wanted actionable information on improving the walk. We were hoping for more instructor attention for each attendee, not just for the loudest or one that needed the most all around training help. It would have been helpful to see the instructor work with the variety of dogs in attendance and reiterate each of the general training ideas he shared. I think the cost warranted a handout or a web page (just one page with an outline or a couple short instructional videos) dedicated to the workshop content. Ultimately, the grandiose description was misleading and was not fulfilled in the workshop. I think at best this workshop was an Intro to Leash Walking Philosophy, which left us feeling like money and time wasted.

Robert truly is the Dog Whisperer! We rescued an abused dog that started to show aggressive fear…read moretowards strangers soon after she turned 1 1/2 yo. We took her to obedience class and hired 4 other well known dog behaviorists with no results. In fact, our dog's aggression towards people began to escalate. She bit several of our friends, family and a neighbor. She broke through our front glass window twice when the mailman walked by. We were told by 2 seperate veterinarians (after an extesive work-up that showed no physical reason for her aggression) to euthanize her. We were hopeless, desperate and concerned for our dog's future as well as for the safety of our friends and family. I am so pleased that a friend referred Robert. I couldn't believe that our dog (labeled "devil dog" by others) was on her back and asking for belly rubs from Robert shortly after he arrived! All the other trainers we hired NEVER were able to pet her or come within a few feet or her...even after 3 months of private training. I am so amazed at the change we have seen and continue to see in our dog. She now welcomes our friends into the house and sits calmly waiting to give sloppy kisses! She looks to us for direction and responds to our commands. She is so peaceful yet happy around company now. We continue to work with Robert as his training techniques work wonders! Robert , we can't thank you enough for saving our dog....and our sanity!

I do think the trainers get paid for the classes they lead, but it almost seems like they are all volunteers and there for the love of helping other dogs. I do feel the classes are helpful, but I also think there is some heavy overlap between classes - even though you are told to take some of them in a specific order.

Without their help, my 4…read moremonth old lab/Shepard would have grown up with no leash manners, no impulse control, continued biting/aggression, and would not have been potty trained! Funtastic K9 Training offers a wide range of selection in terms of training your dog, whether it be training a puppy or a full grown adult dog, or whether it's just a simple boarding situation. Either way, I am so happy that I trusted Lise and Mailee with my puppy, Pixie, as she was in their Puppy Board & Training for a week. As I am located 2 hours away in Duluth, Mn, I made the decision to put Pixie in Funtastic K9 Training's Puppy Board and Training program, and I am SO glad that I did. Lise & Mailee worked with Pixie intensively, they offer live updates on their Facebook page, as well as on their Periscope - where you can watch them train your dog through live videos, ask questions in real time, learn new tips, and listen in on their weekly Q&A periscope videos every Sunday! Lise and Mailee teach not only your dog, but you as well. Prior to training with Funtastic K9 Training, I thought that the dogs who had bad behavior were the ones at fault, when all along, it was often because of the bad behavior that owners taught to their dogs. Having picked up Pixie from her Puppy B&T, I can see the huge improvement that has come from training with Funtastic K9 Training for a week. Pixie now listens to her commands, is potty trained, has impulse control, enters her kennel when told, has threshold manners, leash manners, and looks to me for guidance in her next move/command. Even after training with Lise and Mailee for a week, they still offer guidance and tips whenever you need help with continuing the training at home; they make themselves available to help you whenever they can, and I - as well as so many others who have trained with Funtastic K9 Training - really appreciate it! If you are looking to train and/or board your dog, definitely keep Funtastic K9 Training at the top of your list! I guarantee that you will not regret it!!

Emma's also been a positive influence on my dogs -- they no longer bark/carry on when she arrives and are better walkers all around. I appreciate that Emma is so good with them, captures sweet photos on walks and (when necessary) goes through the hassle of getting them in/out of their winter gear.
