This review is long overdue. I sent my puppy to The Collar Academy about 18 months ago for five…read moreweeks. He was never a bad dog but I wanted him trained to walk with me off-leash and he would occasionally have resource-guarding issues that I wanted to break. During the five weeks, I got to visit him only once but I knew he was in great hands. Shortly after I picked him up, we went on a road trip. And that's when strangers first started complimenting how well-behaved he is. After returning home, we started going back to his favorite dog park and people always asked how I got him so well-trained. A few months later, I guess I finally decided to try walking with him off leash following not only the training they gave him but me. I was shocked I actually had better control of him off leash than on. The Collar Club is definitely the best investment I've made in my dog and I'm so grateful I did.

I opted for their board and train program to accommodate my busy schedule. They trained my dog to…read morewalk properly on a leash and to follow many other commands. They provided support when I made mistakes in giving the commands to my dog. I highly recommend the Collar Club Academy for any training your dog may need.

I was told narcotics scent training was available but at drop off it was changed to birch wood. Then I have a dog with special needs as he will not eat away from home. I had to BEG for photos and updates knowing my dog wasn't eating for a week. Then they pass the SAME PHOTO and even sent me a screen shot of the edited time stamp to prove that they it wasn't edited. Guess they didn't look hard enough because the date the photo was really taken was on their screen shot. Attached are pics of the two weight pictures (drop off and pick up), a screen shot of the text message exchange and a close up showing the actual time stamp. The biggest thing is that I had a dog with special needs that was away from home not eating and I wasn't getting communication.

My fiancé and I adopted a dog in September named Angus from Paws in the City. We live in an…read moreapartment complex with a dog park and we would take Angus to the dog park to socialize and take care of business. Our poor pupper was attacked twice by the same two dogs and it completely changed his behavior. He just lost trust in other dogs and became aggressive when he would come across another dog. We didn't know how to reverse this behavior and that's when we started researching on dog training. My fiancé found Off Leash, watched all of the videos on their training and we decided to go for their 8 week program. We started with the trainer Brandon and he was wonderful. He really took the time to let Angus get comfortable with him and showed us several commands that had us in awe. Brandon was no longer going to be available on Saturday's so we were going to be switching with Sarah. Brandon observed her for a few session and then she was solo. It was the same service all across the board. The last 2 or 3 sessions, we went to dog parks but just to walk around them, allowing Angus to get familiar with being around other dogs, and how to control his behavior. This has honestly made a HUGE difference with our pupper! The training doesn't stop even though we're done with the program. We're now able to walk off leash with him around the complex and he can place anywhere we point to. We still have to work on getting Angus to be more relaxed when coming in contact with other dogs but we're very confident that we have the proper tools to get him there!

My 4 month old Cocker Spaniel, Wally and I are currently in Rebeccas puppy/beginner class at What…read morean Obedient Dog. We are going into our 4th week this week, and after only 3 classes I am seeing amazing results. Wally is showing more focus, better household manners, obeying extremely well... I have always trained my own dogs with good success, but Wally, being a service dog in training, I wanted professional help from the beginning. Rebecca has made all the difference in the world! The best part is that she doesn't necessarily train our dogs (in group classes), she trains pet parents to train their dogs, and has enlightened me to techniques and animal thought processes that I would have never aquired without her insite. She is full of great information, makes herself available via phone, email and text. Saturday evening I left her a message that I was having an issue with Wally turning a leave-it command into a new game. She returned my call on Sunday morning, and spent a good 10 minutes on the phone with me to correct the behavior. With the advice she gave, once again, by the end of the day I was seeing results. What an Obedient Dog, and Rebecca are amazing. They shed light on how dogs think, how to relate/think like a pup, practice positive reinforcement and are always available to help address each pets particular nuances. I can't say enough great things about them. I will definitely be following up with her intermediate classes, CGC classes and testing and then service dog trainings. I highly recommend What an Obedient Dog! They have so far surpassed my expectations.

He also spent so much time on the phone before our training session as well, when he didn't have to. He truly cares about whether your dog is trained properly or not & knows everything you could ever know about fig & dog behavior! Can't recommend him enough. He is even affordable & could charge way more than he does. I will be referring him to all my family & friends. Thank you for all your help!!!

Aaron is AMAZING!!! Very personable and TRULY cares about not only the owners but the dogs as well…read more He was very prompt and attentive to our needs. Very quick to recognize and address problems that we were having and offered a quick proactive approach to correct. We couldn't be happier with the service provided. What we learned today is it's not only the pet that needs help it's US the handlers that can be ill prepared. Thank you Aaron and Educated Dog for your services! Job well done!

For the first hour Lauren provided some good information and things to try with Darwin to help him. After that she said she wanted to bring in her dog for Darwin to be around, I stated I wasn't really comfortable with Darwin being around another dog and I didn't think it was the best idea. Lauren assured us that her dog Mable was extremely friendly and did not care about other dogs (Mable is a pitbull mix that is only 1 year old and about 50 pounds)! As Mable was brought in Darwin was barking and growling (his normal), and Mable was ok but then she started growling and getting aggressive. Her hair was standing up and Lauren said she was just correcting Darwin, so we just kept watching which was a mistake. Mable snapped at Darwin's ribs and bit him. We didn't see he was bleeding until she left. The next day our dog was very lethargic and sore, he couldn't jump up on the couch or walk with out crying out. Lauren did send me Mable's medical records at my request and was made aware that Darwin was bleeding. She did not offer a refund for the training. We already knew our dog has issues to fix, that is why we hired her, now he is even more scared of other dogs. The good news is he is healed up, but we will never use this company again. Please make sure to communicate what you want and you know your dog better than anyone else, do not put them in danger.

I hate to leave my dog anywhere and I have cancelled trips to stay with Rettung. But, I believe Rettung likes to go here more than he likes being with me! This place has it ALL! This is an actual RESORT for pets! They have beautiful rooms, awesome beds, TVs(yes, TVs!), SWIMMING POOL, and plenty of activities for the pets/FAMILY! They constantly place pictures on Facebook. They have veterinarians close by and the pets are SECURE. The whole complex is IMMACULATELY clean! I know business is about making money, but I do not get that "feeling" here. The staff really does appear to love their jobs and the pets. I have YET to pick Rettung up one time when he wasn't clean and looking great. I WILL NOT take Rettung anywhere else if I have to board him! They have a customer forever! Thanks again for taking care of my pet/family member! Trey and Rettung!
