We were at our wits' end when we first contacted Christina. Our two bull terriers (a male, Carlos,…read moreand a female, Stella) were constantly fighting, and things seemed to be escalating on a daily basis. It got to the point where Stella bit off the tip of Carlos's ear. In addition to that, we had two small, older dogs who would also get in the mix. And the dogs tended to react to every stimulus, whether it was dogs or people walking by outside, dogs barking next door, or even dogs barking on TV. We always felt on edge and nervous about what would set off the next incident. We had gone through some basic training with each of the bull terriers, so they knew some commands, but they also knew how and when to ignore us and do their own thing. We started using baby gates to try to keep everyone separated, and we were constantly rotating the dogs in and out of their pens so they could avoid each other. We more or less set up our lives to try to manage the dogs, and it still wasn't working. It got to the point where we couldn't even walk the bull terriers without an incident, so we couldn't properly exercise them. The dogs basically ruled the house, and it felt like we were living in a prison. At times, we dreaded coming home from work because of the dog-related stress we knew was waiting for us. And because of the fighting, we feared that something terrible could happen if things continued as they were. It was such a relief when Christina came. She understood what we were going through and helped us to work through all of our issues. Although it took some time to work though the dogs' various issues, it was wonderful having her walk us though every step of the way and always be available for questions and encouragement, and she helped us to stay focused and positive. She was very hands-on with the dogs and with us, and soon we were able to handle the dogs with confidence. We can now walk Carlos and Stella (together and separately) around our neighborhood when before we would have been too afraid to. Recently, we took Stella to one of Christina's dog and client meet-ups, and Stella was able calmly to meet and hang out around other dogs and people - including children - which we never thought would be possible. We're continuing to implement the techniques Christina taught us, and we're continuing to see signs of improvement. Christina gave us back control over our dogs which gave us back our life.

I first used My Pet's Place-Dunwoody boarding facility and I was very impressed and happy. The…read morekennels are spacious so the dogs are separated well enough that when I visited, they weren't all barking. (I didn't think there were any dogs there because it was so quiet, but there were many.) My dog was happy & calm when I picked her up after spending 5 nights there - something I hadn't experienced at other boarding facilities. Next I decided to check out the Vet services and I continued to be very impressed. My dog needed surgery on one of her paws and the entire staff was so knowledgeable and helpful. I was extremely impressed with the detailed summaries I received post pre- and post- op from the doctor. I have never experienced that level of attention before. I wasn't unhappy with the Vet I was using but I will continue with My Pet's Vet because of the extra service/attention I received as well as the friendly, helpful staff.

A close friend referred me to Josh when my puppy Jojo's defiant, adolescent stage had me stumped…read more My friendly, outgoing, submissive, and obedient puppy soon developed an "I'll get to that later" response to my corrections and not only knocked over toddlers in excitement at the park, but now jumped up to kiss adult faces in a less than gentle way, and sometimes even disappeared into the woods only to return on her own schedule. As someone who grew up around dogs in a rural setting, my basic and quite lenient dog-raising skills came up short in my now urban and backyard-free setting. Josh helped me re-frame Jojo's off-leash shenanigans, over-excitement around strangers and guests, and general puppy-like behavior beyond young puppy-hood as her way of dealing with a lack of boundaries and structure. He encouraged me to use my self - not increasingly elaborate treats or training products - as my main tool, and to revise my relationship with Jojo, giving her reason to turn to me for direction and guidance. He also worked with me on finding realistic solutions for me and my lifestyle in a nonjudgmental way, while being honest about the sometimes slow nature of large and long-lasting changes. Well, it turns out Jojo thrives on structure and, not only does she respond well to boundaries, she craves them! I've seen a great shift in both our interactions and her overall behavior, and am confident that she will continue to grow into a great, well-balanced adult dog and perfect companion.

My yorkie was having leash reactivity to other dogs and would attempt to lunge and attack them. I had even been bitten in the process of calming him.

By the end he had both walking together! He is worth every cent. Josh has such a calm way of working, he listens, and adjusts his recommendations to fit your needs.

I was nervous about having to train two dogs with different needs, and at different life stages. Cody was amazing. He took the time to understand the different need for both dogs and made improvements that day. Chunk was awful on the leash and would chase anything that moved. Day 2 and I can't believe the difference in control on the walks. Charlie is a puppy and well needs obedience with several indoor behaviors. Happy to say today was successful in going to his bed. The investment in Bark Busters is well worth it for any dog owner. If you're in the Atlanta area Cody is the trainer I recommend. Beyond being great with the dogs he makes you as the owner feel comfortable. He gives you the right techniques and confidence that change and obedience is possible. Cody's open and makes it clear that he is available from here on out if there is anything that I need. Was very nervous about having someone in my home and training my dogs. This was the best decision I could make for me and the boys!

BUYER BEWARE!!!!! I hired Mike, ( paid for a lifetime guarantee $1,500) the dog trainer from Bark…read moreBuster to train my dogs to stop barking at the windows and rushing the front door at visitors. His training was fear based and did not help with either problem. A year later my large dog started attacking my smaller dog. Reached out to Mike, He came by and had me buy a muzzle from him and told me to keep it on her. No plan other than that. We had a facetime call a week later. Still no plan. A week later when muzzle was removed, she attacked my smaller dog and seriously injured him. Tried to contact Mike and he ghosted me stating he didn't know me. I had to put my large dog down and the injuries to my small dog was over $3,000. I contacted the Bark Buster's corporate office and they responded with an apology. I asked for a refund since I felt like the training was an epic fail. I used all of their ridiculous BAH... techniques and it was a bust. They also ghosted me.....DO NOT USE THEM! There is no lifetime service or anything else.

Also I saw the 1 star review that talked about meds and face coverings. Ann has never suggested either of those things. She teaches based off of positive reinforcement. She was even telling me about the dangers of shock collars and how she steers clients aware from those based off of the facts.

I had my first foster dog for a few months and she recently got adopted to a wonderful family.

AARF made it a really easy and rewarding experience to volunteer and they help wonderful animals find great homes. There are other rescue groups in Atlanta and they are all doing amazing work. I'm certainly not saying AARF is any better than any other rescue group because I haven't volunteered with any others but I am saying that the people at AARF rock and I really love working with them.

Fostering an animal while it finds a home is one of the best things a person can do. Animals in tiny cages where they don't get room to run and play can get issues that can take years of training and care to treat. But, give a homeless animal a temporary home while you find a permanent one and it can learn from your other pets or just get used to what it is like to have a nice home. I am still training my dog on some basic lessons, but once she's ready to teach others, I plan to foster. Check their web site if you want to foster or need a pet yourself!
