He started acting out on walks, clearly stressed and unhappy--and that took a toll on all of us. It even made it hard to enjoy our new surroundings. Then we had a training session with Veronique, and everything changed. Lorenzo opened up in a way we hadn't seen before. He's now so much better on his walks, more relaxed, and noticeably happier overall. We were given clear, practical tools to help him succeed--not just on walks, but in his interactions with other dogs too. This training truly helped lift the emotional weight Lorenzo had been carrying and made a huge difference for our family. We're so grateful. I absolutely recommend this service to anyone who wants to better understand and support their dog.

My boxer was anxious and very reactive, but now he's noticeably calmer and much less reactive. It honestly feels like we have a new dog. Michael is truly the best. He's patient, knowledgeable, and always happy to walk us through any situation or question that comes up. You can tell he genuinely cares about both the dogs and their owners. I can't thank Michael enough! He's made a huge impact on our lives and completely changed the future for my dog. I'm so excited to see the progress we continue to make!

I want to start by saying the trainer we had Michael is a kind and responsive person. You can tell…read morehe really cares about dogs and takes his work seriously, which I truly respect! We spent over $1,000 hoping to improve our dogs' reactivity issues. We followed the homework that was given to us, stayed consistent, and while there was some minor progress, we eventually hit a wall. The BAH method is the foundation of their training approach, and while it might work for others, it just didn't lead to the results we needed unfortunately. What made it more disappointing for us is that even though the company offers lifetime support, it didn't feel like there was anything drastically new or helpful to move us forward after a certain point. Again, I commend for the trainer for trying his best and truly caring, but we hit a wall. We were basically told we were doing everything right, but the problem still wasn't getting better. This review isn't meant to discredit the trainer or the business. I'm sure he's helped many other clients successfully. Unfortunately, in our case, it didn't live up to expectations given the cost and the goals we had. Sidenote: I'm not looking for a debate or follow-up--just sharing my personal experience in case it helps someone else make an informed decision.

Got dog problems? Not for long! Call Allan! I am a first…read moretime dog owner and this year adopted two rescue dogs. I had owned cats all my life and had no knowledge at all about dogs. So when Venus and Marley came into our family life we were eager but not very informed. Our dogs are lovely, sweet animals (obviously a rescue wasn't going to give first timers problem dogs) but they had a few quirks in their behaviour that were really bringing our family down. The main one was incessant barking out the windows of the house at everyone who walked past. The other one was that the dogs slept in our bed and it was causing back pain for my husband to sleep in strange positions. My husband was really getting over it - between the lack of sleep, back pain and barking he was getting ready to send little Venus and Marley to the returns desk. We had previously tried group dog lessons at Rancho Park and were definitely the class dunces. I really couldn't face 2 months of turning up once a week to a group lesson just to make little progress and be demoralized by the perfectly placid poodles and old dogs who aced the class. Then I had the good fortune of meeting a friendly, helpful dog owner at Culver City Dog Park. He said "Oh, you should meet Allan. Here is his card." I spoke with Allan and booked him to come to my house, meet the dogs in their domain and talk about our specific issues. What an amazing day! When Allan arrived he asked me about our issues and while he patiently listened to my tale of woe he quietly observed the dogs. What I saw next was truly amazing. Within two hours he established himself as the dominant animal in the pack, instructed the dogs and me on how to keep them away from the window. Taught me how to correct the dogs behaviour when they transgressed. He also taught me and the dogs that my bedroom is off limits and how to reinforce this behaviour. Then, because he had nailed all the crucial problems well before two hours he also took on how to get the dogs to walk well on a leash and behave themselves around unfamiliar dogs on the street and also how to get the dogs from mobbing people who enter the house. By the end of two hours the dogs were fully submitting to the new rules. To see Allan work his magic on dogs is truly amazing. Allan then follows up at the end of the month to check if there have been any issues with sticking to the new system - Allan is also available via text, phone and email if anything crops up in the meantime. From the end of the first 2 hour session the dogs were transformed. No returns desk here. Of course, it is up to the dog owner to enforce the rules and not get soft on their cute little mutts - any backsliding we had during the month was entirely from members of the family not following through on the rules established by Allan. I can't recommend Allan enough. He is a complete professional. A great listener. A dog pro and he gets the result you want very fast - truly, at the end of the 2 hour session our dogs were reformed!

I heard great things about Allan, a friend of mine was telling me how great he is with their dog…read moreetc. so I was so stoked I called Allan. I booked my appointment couple weeks out due to Allan's schedule and mine as well...I had contact him thinking my appointment should be coming up and asked him when it was exactly. He told me it was suppose to be the previous week but he had an emergency. But didn't feel the need to let me know. So I reschedule with him.. We had been communicating via text. So I booked another appointment and he didn't get back to me until 2-3 days later. Telling me it won't work so he asked about the weekend and I said ok. Didn't hear from him til the weekend saying he had another emergency! So he asked for the following week I knew he wasn't going to reply quick enough so said yes it'll work and sent my address. Of course haven't heard from him. So the appointment came around and he didn't show up or bothered to contact me so if you're thinking to use his service be aware that he will lag on getting back to you. It's very unprofessional of him how he handle his business and especially with new customers. I have clients and I have never handles any regular clients or new clients of mine the way how he handle me as a new customer for his business
