He also isn't incessantly nipping at our fingers or toes! He is so much more pleasant. Still not eating much but, I'll check in with the vet on that maybe if he keeps it up. Thanks again, Fabian! You truly have a gift. " I think that says it all. Fabian is an amazing trainer and a stand up guy. If you want your pup trained with patience and compassion and results, look no further.

I have always relied on Doggie au pair to pet sit my kids when I away on business, which is often…read more The owner writes a daily log of activities and goings-on. Leaving them for long periods of time is what causes me the most stress and Doggie au pair's owner Meghan assures me time and time again that they are in good hands and they are. After the initial excitement of seeing me, they wouldn't be perturbed if I were to leave them with Meghan a few more days. They enjoy the company and excellent care. She often times leaves a little token of healthy treats as a thank you. Their tail-wagging when they see her or her assistants is a clear sign that there's love there mutually-shared. When my first 2 pets (Shih-tzus) passed last year a month apart from each other, at 13 and 15 years, I was devastated and had no idea what to do. I called Meghan in a haze for quick and desperate advice. Without hesitation Meghan drove down to my house and went with me to Pet Heaven on 109th and Flagler to have them cremated. It meant the world to me that she took the time and effort to accompany me on one of the most difficult days of my life. I am eternally grateful for the kindness and empathy displayed without any personal interest. Fast-forward a year and I am the new dad to a gorgeous Shih-tzu and Maltese, which Meghan and her staff are once agin, their adoptive family. Love Meghan and Doggie au Pair! Woof woof! Ernest

Let me preface this review with some back story. A couple years ago I adopted Scooby and I loves…read morehim from the day I brought him home from the rescue. He always had behavioral issues, but when I moved back up to Boca because of COVID they really started to show. Worrying about him bolting through a door or snapping at another dog became a major stressor. I wasted thousands in subpar training over the last year and a half with little to no improvement to his behavior. Enter The K9 Training Academy.... Rick was referred over to me by my friend Thomas who had also utilized his school for his dog. I did a ton of research before picking a school to send Scooby to, especially since I knew they would have my best friend for over a month. Before we even stepped onto the journey of obedience training Rick walked me and my sister through what to expect and prepped us for the fact that once Scooby completed his obedience training it was time for me and my sister to be trained as well. Scooby was with them approximately 45 days and I have to say that I could not be happier with the final result. I never thought I would say this, but I now can walk my dog off leash.... He is completely trained. The staff from the academy made sure that we both completely understood how to reinforce the training and a few days later I can now definitely see that these changes are here to stay. Thank you so much to everyone at The K9 Training Academy, I am very excited to have this well-behaved companion that now can join me all over the place. If you are looking for the right training please make this your first stop and avoid the mistake I made wasting time with incomplete training.

Let me start this review by saying that Richard and his team are AWESOME, and I HIGHLY recommend…read moretheir establishment for your obedience training needs! We have a Husky known for being intelligent, loving, hardheaded, and destructive when bored. Richard had previously trained my parent's chocolate lab, so we knew firsthand the results that his team produced. When I first called Richard, he was warm, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We were able to set up basic training for our puppy, with advance to be completed once the puppy turned six months old. As stated before, Husky's are known to be hardheaded, so basic training did take a little longer than I anticipated, but Richard said he would let us know when Arctic was ready to come home. Communicating throughout the process was light and to the point. Richard is a man that will get right to the point and is honest and fair. But if you are looking for daily or weekly updates, that will not happen. If you text him, he will respond and give you updates; but I tried to reach out only bi-weekly as I realize that they are busy training dogs and running the company's day-to-day operations. I only say this because it is a little challenging to put yourself in the mindset that you will not be getting a play by play each day as a puppy owner. So prepare yourself for that before sending your dog off. That was a minor price to pay for the peace of mind I have with Arctic being fulling trained. I am now comfortable when my son takes him to campus after level one and can't wait to see how he is once he returns home from level two. One of my main concerns with having an untrained dog is my liability if the dog nips or jumps on someone in public; that thought no longer keeps us awake at night. Arctic has gained so much freedom since he is obedient, and he knows exactly how to behave in both public and private settings. My family's massive fear when we first began this journey was that the dog would become some militant zombie dog, and I can tell you firsthand that could not be further from the truth. Arctic's personality is still there, he loves his tummy rubs and playing outside, but he knows when he is "on the job" and how to follow commands to keep him safe. Richard, I cannot thank you and your team enough for the professionalism and dedication you all provide Arctic and our family. The ball is now in our court to ensure that we are consistent for the long haul.

It provides a solid foundation to build on, avoiding the frustration that can come with starting from scratch on one's own. The 5 star reviews that influenced my decision to choose ORA Dog Training are well deserved. My dog's behavior has changed DRAMATICALLY. She is well on her way to becoming the kind of dog that I can enjoy walking with in any situation. I say "well on her way" because although she is completely obedient to Bijan and his trainers, it is now my job to continue that training and build on what they have accomplished. I have to show her that I am also going to enforce the same structure and obedience as well. As I consistently use the tools Bijan has given me, she is consistently obedient. More importantly, she is more calm, more at ease at home and on walks. Bijan didn't just train my dog, he trained me. He educated me so that I now understand what my dog really needs and how to provide the discipline that creates a happy, well behaved dog. He empowered me to become the leader and trainer to my dog.

I honestly never thought I would be writing this review. Liam didn't just train our Maltese, he…read moreperformed some sort of exorcism. Bailey, our Maltese of six years (who was previously supposedly trained in New York) was to put it lightly, a menace. I had gotten to the point where it was very difficult to live in the same house with him. He barked, nonstop, he resource guarded, he continuously nipped my husband when we were putting him to bed every night, he thought that he was in charge of everything and everyone ..and that he was the alpha...when Liam came to the house for the interview process, I know (it was pretty obvious) that I had absolutely zero faith in turning him around. We had just moved downtown into an apartment and the barking had become unbearable. He was all over our very expensive couches digging and licking himself. I pretty much told Liam that there was no way in hell that I believed he could help the situation. I just thought it was too far gone and that you could not teach new tricks to an old dog. I have to say, that hell has frozen over!! Liam brought Bailey back after a month of training and it seems like he is a different animal, he is extremely well behaved, he does not bark..:He does not resource guard. He is a mush and so sweet. We walk him outside where he previously wanted to run down every UPS and FedEx truck and attack every passing human being, he is now minding his own business and acting like a well-behaved citizen. I really have no words, it is remarkable. I am very grateful and again so pleasantly surprised that he was able to perform this miracle for us. We actually are able to bring him out with us to restaurants, the other night he was sitting quietly in the arms of my husband at the bar at a Mexican restaurant, not making a peep and looking happy . Overall, he seems happier than before,, calmer and exponentially so pleasant to be around. I recommend Liam 10,000 fold.

DO NOT RELY SOLELY ON SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE OR SURFACE LEVEL IMPRESSIONS. Based on his online…read morepresence and reviews, Liam initially appears knowledgeable and professional. I will admit that I originally left a positive review, believing my dog had been well cared for and that progress had been made while he was in his care. Unfortunately, the aftermath told a very different story. Once my dog returned home, it became clear that behaviors were not improving and that training methods and expectations were inconsistent. When I reached out for additional support, guidance & clarification, communication quickly deteriorated. He became disorganized, unresponsive, & unable to provide a clear or structured plan to address the issues. After consulting with a team of qualified dog trainer with years of experience working with law enforcement canines.. professionals who understands proper training, structure, and behavioral consistency. It became clear how inadequate and ineffective the training my dog received actually was. As time went on behaviors arise that showed that this experience negatively affected my dog. I strongly recommend that anyone considering this trainer conduct thorough due diligence and seek a credentialed professional with demonstrated, real world experience.
