She sent me pictures and recommendations on care, training and activities for him to continue when he is back home. He came back better behaved and very healthy. I did a private lesson with her when I picked him up and have already implemented many of the techniques she recommended with great success. He's a happier dog for having clear boundaries and he now has a second home if I ever need to board him again. He is not the easiest dog and other places that I enquired would have not given him as much attention, exercise, boundaries and care.

The course taught us the basics and foundational skills for handling and future training. We decided to go ahead and try out the daycare & train as well. Today was his first day of daycare and he did great! We were nervous as he is pretty crazy and rambunctious but he was able to play with other dogs in a controlled safe environment which made me feel at ease. They have a lot of experience with dogs and know their stuff! Would recommend to anyone I know. Our puppy is such a good listener now with the skills he has learned!

Our pup Oliver is not only excited every time we get there, but he's also one step closer to being fully trained. If you put in the work, and do what these trainers suggest, you won't regret it. Our 7 month old puppy doesn't bark at every little thing, he knows sit, park it, down and wait really well. His loose leash walking has improved immensely. Overall, great experience and we will continue to use Alert K-9.

I cannot say enough about Brad Wilhelm and the incredible work he did with my Cavalier puppy,…read moreOlivia. At just 6 months old, Olivia was exhibiting serious resource guarding and aggressive behavior -- to the point where I was afraid to get close to her and she actually bit me once. I've had seven dogs in my lifetime and had never experienced anything like this before. Cavaliers are known for being loving, gentle dogs, so having an 11-pound puppy that I felt nervous around was heartbreaking. I truly wasn't sure Olivia and I would ever have a good relationship again. I was scheduled to travel to Mexico over Christmas but couldn't take her due to her behavior. Brad went above and beyond -- he kindly arranged to pick her up the very night I left on a red-eye flight and enrolled her in a 4-week board-and-train bootcamp. Yes, the program is an investment, but it is absolutely worth every penny. Brad and Camille worked their magic. Olivia came back a completely different puppy -- loving, responsive, and happy. It honestly feels like night and day. I know I still need to do my homework and stay consistent, but just one week after her return, the transformation has been incredible. One thing I really appreciate is the ongoing support. Brad offers unlimited texts and calls for questions and guidance, which has been invaluable as we continue reinforcing her training at home. This also wasn't my first experience with Brad. He was recommended to us years ago when we got our older dog, a yellow Labrador named Bourbon. While Bourbon has always been mellow, Brad helped us with practical training -- including teaching him to jump into my sedan in less than 10 minutes! That stuck with me and is why I trusted him when we needed serious help with Olivia. Brad once told me that good training makes dogs happier, and now I truly understand what he meant. Olivia is more confident, more relaxed, and clearly happier -- and so am I. I wholeheartedly recommend Brad to anyone dealing with behavioral issues or simply looking for solid obedience training. His knowledge, patience, and genuine care make all the difference. I am incredibly grateful for the impact he and Camille have had on both Olivia and me.

My review might be more unconventional, but given the service I received, I felt it was important…read moreto share my experience. Every now and again Brad's facility will take in rescue dogs who will undergo the full board and train program. I was lucky enough to be able to adopt Tarkin, a a cattle dog mix. I believe he had been under the care of Brad and his team for almost (maybe more?) a year but did not have much like in finding a potential adopter until I saw a post on Instagram and reached out. Right off the bat, Tarkin was very well behaved, knew the basic commands (sit, down-stay, leave it, wait, place, etc). Brad even provided a collar to continue with his training, was responsive via text MONTHS after adoption, and would always offer to come by for a follow-up training session. Fortunately, we have not needed an in-person session, but to be able to continue having him as resource by phone has been amazing and I am so grateful. Brad and Camille (Tarkin's other main trainer) have created such a wonderful foundation of training that I've been able to build off of, even as a new dog owner. Given my experience with Tarkin, I would highly recommend reaching out to Brad and his team about potential rescues available for adoption, or to see what training packages they have to offer. I couldn't have asked for a better first dog!

I had done what I thought was quite a bit of research and tried to train with her a bit daily but I just couldn't figure out exactly how to work with her, her smarts and energy are off the charts.i just couldn't get her to focus on what I wanted. Maddie did a month long board and train with Sage and Sage can back so much happier with her energy more focused and workable. while Sage was with Maddie I received email updates including pictures(that was so important for me). when Maddie brought Sage home she went through how to keep working with Sage the way she had. I feel Sage is so much better and I look forward to going to some of the group classes to see what else we can accomplish.

She now weighs 115lbs+ and is an active and intense mix of breeds. Because of David (positively the most patient person on the planet) and the supporting staff here, she is well behaved at home and in public. I constantly get compliments about her general manners and also behavior around other dogs. People are often surprised about the command I have over such a large and strong dog. I think things would have been a nightmare for us without this program. Tailored has not only worked with her directly, but they have educated me about ways to work with her on my own. I can't imagine getting another puppy without sending them through this program. These classes are always a priority in my schedule. Well worth the drive and very reasonable cost, and she loves it!

TAKE YOUR MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE!…read more I am very surprised by all the 5 star reviews....Jack was extremely unprofessional. He made many rude, racially insensitive jokes. Smoked cigarettes throughout the entire one hour training session. Mind u he was smoking so close to my daughter who was attending the class with me with not a care in the world. We had to move away from him because he kept chain smoking throughout the lesson. He was telling endless stories about his childhood and how his dad would beat him with a belt and how he voted for trump and other political topics. (There's nothing wrong with talking politics, but there is a time and place and this was not it) he was very loud and obnoxious he cussed like a sailor. No professionalism. There is some very serious redneck culture here.Put down the cigarettes for an hour and have some respect for the people paying good money to learn from you. It was a Very unfortunate experience.
