We wanted…read morethe focus of her training to be on e-collar obedience and Sam did an excellent job helping her and us learn. We can now take Moose off leash comfortably knowing she will come when called, sit and stay even in busy environments. I feel like we are happier humans and she is a happier dog thanks to Sam's help. The training style used was also based on rewarding Moose with play rather than food or negative reinforcement, which I really appreciate and didn't know much about before. We couldn't be more pleased with the results. Highly recommend Dog Wizard and Sam!

Probably my highest review ever for a service I haven't used yet. hear me out…read more I just rescued a Rat Terrier puppy called Raffi from Texas, who showed signs of abuse and trauma upon arrival. I've parented/known many rescues in the past and never seen anything like the fear she exhibited. fully freaked out, I shot a message to Atlanta Dog Wizard with an SOS to help. Kat quickly got in touch and we had about a 30-min call, which provided me with INVALUABLE insight into my urgent situation. That information she gave me--keep in mind, I had paid no money for her advice or training to this point--gave me some practices I could use, right away, to make Raffi feel more comfortable. I still might officially use Atlanta Dog Wizard in the future, if Kat is any indication how the company does things. She has a passion for rescues and turning around challenging situations and making dogs (and humans) shine. Cannot recommend highly enough.

We took our puppy to Atlanta Dog Trainer for the group obedience beginner training classes…read more There were 5 weeks of training classes (4 with the dog, the first with just the handlers). The primary instruction was getting your dog's attention, the commands - sit, down, off, leave it, drop it and loose leash walking. Overall I was pleased with the overall instruction and experience. They did a good job of making sure the dogs didn't invade another dog's space. Homework was sent out each week to work on in sessions with the dog and this helped prepare for the next week's session. Would recommend.

I was at my wits end and ready to give away…read moreour dog- I had tried other training programs but he would not stop biting our kids, jumping on everyone, it was just awful. We signed up for the two week board and train as a last effort with minimal expectation. All I can say is WOW!!! Tracy has been exceptional from start to finish and the follow up after he was home was icing on the cake! She followed up daily to give us a report with photos and videos and continued to check in for weeks! We have the sweetest dog and our family could not be happier with our decision to put our pup into doggie school here!! The grounds are sprawling and beautiful, the staff is friendly, and the value far exceeded my expectations. We paid $995 per week, so about 2K total. I looked at some other programs which were about 2,800 with kinda crappy looking properties and very pushy sales people. We are forever grateful to ADT and Tracy! Thank you for our "new" dog!

Sharon's depth of understanding about dogs and their behavior is very deep. Her prices are very reasonable for the amount of attention and trouble she takes in training your dog.

Our dog - an Australian sheep dog / terrier mix - is VERY energetic and finds it difficult to focus on any one thing for long. Sharon was able to train him on specific tasks at the first lesson. I can highly recommend Paws B Good 4 U dig training school, without reservation.

I met Evan at a local dog park and was so impressed at not only how well Evan's dogs behaved, but how knowledgable Evan was about the training process. I knew I was in good hands. Evan's program provides confidence for both the dog and owner. It is amazing how much of a transformation my dog and I have made in our month training so far. Evan helps you build your relationship with your dog and teaches both of you how to respect and communicate with each other. Passing up an experience to train with Evan would be a mistake. Take advantage of the opportunity to make your dog obedient and even more enjoyable than before! The entire experience was extremely helpful and worthwhile. I would recommend Full Contact K9 to everyone, especially for new puppies owners. Stella is a great companion already, but with Evan's help, she became and even better dog on and off the leash.

At the end of a walk, I felt drained and have sore shoulders, it was not much fun. Since we RV and travel a lot, we wanted to be able to take the dog along without worry. We did a lot of research online and choose Daisy's Canine Academy. We opted for the two-week emersion program. We provided a list of commands and traits we were hoping for: 1) RVing, come, stay, fetch, heel, drop, sit, get, etc., 2) Socialized around people, other dogs, cars etc. and be calm and under control, 3) Go to Kennel, Basket on command. This was a lot to expect for just a two-week program. Daisy her trainer delivered in spades. The dog came back transformed; she did not do everything 100 percent, but honestly the most important thing was she trained the trainer, yes me I was able to continue working with the dog to fine tune her training, which is still a work in progress but fun for me as well as the dog. She does most what we outlined above and even more, can't wait for our first RV trip in the New Year. Daisy stays in touch and has had frequent follow-up visits. I would highly recommend Daisy's Canine Academy!!!

I saw a bad review from someone else years ago and it triggered me to post this. I was actually a bit mortified by the post as it was the most unprofessional review and so far from the truth. Actually Violet still goes to US Canine for boarding every time we go out of town and I won't take her anywhere else. Violet actually went to another training facility (one I will not name) and she came out worse than when she went in. Violet is a pit bull and as most people are aware pit bulls get a really bad wrap. They just need a little proper training and some TLC (as with any animal) and that's exactly what US Canine did. She actually did have to go through the intense two week training for extreme behavioral issues (trained by Angie) and she came back a completely different dog! I love Violet so much and if it wasn't for US Canine we would have had to give her up. She has become such an important part of my family and I wouldn't have done anything differently. In fact, my next dog will be going there as well and I live 20 miles away! Thank you US Canine (and thanks for letting me review you so I can post a pic of my doggie )

We tried 3 different in-home trainers over a year and saw little to no difference. At one point one of these people even told us our dog would need to be on anxiety medication the rest of his life. Then, one of the agencies suggested we try US Canine before surrendering our pup. Our dog spent 3 weeks at US Canine and came home the loving, respectful, and sweet dog we knew he could be (no medication necessary!). It has now been 8 months and I am so thankful to US Canine for giving us a second chance with our dog! Everyone at US Canine cares about your dog and your family and they make a concerted effort to help you understand the changes you need to make for your dog to be successful. They are always available for questions and concerns so that your success can continue longterm. I now have confidence with my dog and know exactly what to do to redirect him from minor issues and continue his learning. US Canine is THE BEST!
