You have a trainer that puts a bite risk on a dog because they don't want to take the time to actually work with a dog. That is also unacceptable. This is not okay. And then to be telling the owner that they put their dog at risk of being put down because they didn't want to actually take the steps it takes to get a dog to be comfortable with you. Your trainer, Ryann needs to be reevaluated. This can put your company at risk. I don't know why you would allow a trainer to dump a dog out of its crate. That is not how a dog should be handled. That is not at all how I would want a trainer to be treating my dog. I have no idea what else she does that is also unacceptable behind closed doors. She could be abusing dogs for all I know because she didn't put the safety of a dog first.

We had life-changing results using Lucky Dog Training Club…read more My husband and I were struggling with our high energy, reactive 3 1/2 year old dog. We had tried numerous trainers, even tried meds for a short while with our Murphy. This winter we signed Murphy up for a Peggy Adams training course, Taming Tarzan. It was there we found Toni and her amazing team from Lucky Dog. During this course Murphy was finally responding to the positive tools given to us by these wonderful trainers. When these classes were finished we discussed with Toni how to proceed. Murphy is now enrolled in Lucky Dog's day training course where he receives one-on-one training where his special needs are worked on, group lessons where he learns to interact with other dogs and also structured walks where they assist in teaching Murphy better leash etiquette. And the best part is at the end of the day we are emailed videos of his training section so we can follow through at home. We cannot thank Toni and her amazing Lucky Dog Training team for all of their help. Murphy has dramatically improved and we are forever grateful. Highly recommend!

To say that Maggie changed my life and my dog's life is an understatement!…read more I'm a new resident of Florida, and I recently relocated to a one-bedroom apartment in West Palm Beach with my 60-pound dog. He had never lived in an apartment before, and I knew that adjusting to a new environment, smaller space, and all the activity that comes with apartment living would be a big transition for both of us. I was especially nervous because he could get overstimulated when people or other dogs were nearby. In an apartment building where you constantly encounter people and dogs in hallways, elevators, and other shared spaces, I felt very unsure of how to navigate those situations with him. When we first moved in, I was extremely cautious and used extra safety measures every time we went outside because I wanted to make sure I was prepared for any situation while he adjusted to his new surroundings. As soon as we arrived, I knew it was time to invest in training. My mother immediately started searching for the best dog trainers in the West Palm Beach area and found Maggie. Thanks to my Nana, I was able to make that investment, and it has been completely life-changing. Maggie genuinely transformed my dog. She taught both of us skills that gave me better control and helped me understand how to confidently navigate situations that previously made me nervous. For example, my dog used to become overstimulated when runners or bikers passed by. Maggie taught me how to recognize those situations before they happened, how to redirect his attention, and how to stay calm and confident throughout the process. She also helped strengthen my relationship with my dog. He trusts me so much more now, and Maggie helped me build confidence in myself as well. That confidence has affected not only how I interact with my dog, but also how I live my life. Dogs pick up on our emotions, and when you feel unsure of yourself, it can be difficult to communicate clearly with your dog. Maggie helped me understand just how important confidence and consistency are. One thing I especially appreciated was that Maggie always explained the "why" behind everything she taught me. She explained the psychology behind a dog's actions and the different things that can influence their behavior. That was so valuable because we don't always understand why dogs behave in certain ways, especially when those behaviors are simply their way of communicating or responding to their environment. During our hands-on training, Maggie would first demonstrate each exercise so I could clearly see how it should be done. Then, when it was my turn, she truly helped me master it by telling me what I was doing well and where I could improve. She even videotaped the exercises so I could review them step-by-step afterward. Maggie also went the extra mile by bringing her son to one of our training sessions after I explained that I wanted more practice navigating passing people in the hallway and entering the elevator. Having someone there to practice with made such a difference and helped me feel much more prepared for everyday situations. Whenever I have an issue, I know I can call Maggie, and she will give me real-time advice on what I could have done differently or better. She also recommended equipment that has made a world of difference. This experience has truly been life-changing. I no longer feel a wave of anxiety every time I need to walk my dog -- I actually look forward to it! I have even taken him to public places, including the beach, and I feel so much more confident doing things with him that I once thought would be difficult. He is genuinely such a happy, well-behaved dog, and I never thought I would be able to say that a few months ago. I cannot thank Maggie Marshall enough for everything she has done for both of us. She didn't just train my dog -- she taught me how to better understand him, communicate with him, and enjoy our life together. 10/10 recommend Maggie as both a trainer and a person!

I cannot recommend Maggie enough! I had an extremely positive experience working with her as a dog…read moretrainer. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond--joining me at vet appointments because my dog, Dobby, struggles with severe fear aggression. I honestly didn't know what I was going to do when she moved, but Maggie kept reassuring me that everything would be fine. After our first solo vet visit without her, I was amazed at how well it went, all thanks to the tools and confidence she gave me. Most recently, I had to take Dobby in for an emergency visit while he was in a lot of pain, and I wasn't able to premedicate him like usual. Even in that stressful moment, I relied on everything Maggie had taught me--and we got through it without any incidents. Maggie's training is rooted in positive reinforcement, and she provided guidance not just for Dobby, but also for my grandpup, Spades. Her knowledge, support, and dedication have made a lasting impact on our lives, and I will always be grateful. If you're struggling with your dog, Maggie is the trainer you want by your side.

I began the search for my third service dog at age 80. My particular disability requires that i…read morestart with a puppy who grows up knowing only me and my issues. In addition, I wanted to get a Bahamian potcake. Every trainer said I was making a mistake. And,that at my age, I would not be able to control him. That potcakes were too exicitable, distractable and from wild stock; but I knew that they were also loving, with strong attachment to their owner. I chose a 10 week old potcake, Skipper, who was all of the above, with everyone telling me ,"he will never be a service dog." A client of Sofia's put me in contact with them and they immediately stepped in. Everyone knows that trainers don't really train the dog but they train the owner/handler. The important thing about Sofia's and Adolpho is his ability to go beyond the obvious and see where both dog and owner are at emotionally, physically, and psychologically and personalizes that training to match their abiity, atachment levels and needs. I now have the perfect service dog, the one they said couldn't be trained, the one who saved my life already, not once but twice. There is no one better than Sofia's dog training.

We had just recently adopted a new Golden retriever, Felix, who had been found as a stray. Like…read moremost strays he came with the issues of abandonment and leery of people. We have had 5 previous dogs most had been Golden Retrievers. We have also worked with several trainers over the years. I looked around at different trainers in West Palm Beach and I really liked the approach used by Adolfo and Sandra. Of all the trainers I have worked with, they really work to understand the dog and the owner. In just a couple of sessions Felix was demonstrating confidence and felt more secure. He likes Adolfo and Sandra. That is important! The dog should like and respect the trainer and feel comfortable in their presence. They introduced us to the Martingale collar which is clearly superior to either the choke or prong collars, we had used in the past. I not only highly recommend Sophia's Dog training, but strongly encourage all dog owners, to call Adolfo and Sandra. Your dog will thank you!

It became so stressful as my dog was demand barking, showing signs of aggression, would not behave on the leash and simply just would not listen or behave at all - she is STUBBORN. A friend of mine recommended Carrie so I reached out and we began training immediately. Since we have trained with Carrie - the stress is GONE. My dog is no longer aggressive, she is the happiest ever, she does not bark for hours for attention and she listens and behaves. I feel like I got a brand new dog after we finished at Alpha Dog Training. The training we did has changed everything and made a huge difference for my dog and myself. My dog was also a picky eater but Carrie introduced us to great new food that is healthy and that my dog LOVES. Thank you Carrie for being the amazing dog whisperer you are. You are incredible and I would be lost without you and so would Rory.

Owner appeared to have great credentials, and i was initially impressed by the first consultation,…read morewhere "she determined" my dog was a good fit for her program. She charged for that initial consultation, and I also paid for half of the board and train program up front. Unfortunately, after only one night there, I got a call in the morning to pick up my dog because she was barking all night, and the trainer couldn't get her to stop. I actually thought she was joking, but she was not.... After all, crate training in a room, other than my bedroom, was one of the goals. After the trainer offered to continue a training program if I would bring my dog to her daily, I decided not to as I wanted someone who could do a board and train. I was sent a refund for only a portion of what I paid. She kept the initial consultation fee, and she also charged me for the overnight, which was more than four times what my kennel charges for an overnight. I kid you not! All of the above is "fact", and needless to say I was upset that she didn't give me a full refund. So decide for yourself whether this trainer is right for you! Fortunately I found another board and train, that accomplished all goals, and could not be happier with the results.
