I was pretty nervous to send my fist dog away to board and train, but I couldn't be happier to have…read moresent him to Mahogany Ridge. Theresa put me at ease from our very first conversation - I could immediately tell that she is not only a skilled trainer, but cares deeply about the dogs in her care. My puppy went to Mahogany Ridge as a wild child and returned home with impeccable manners and confidence that I didn't think would be possible to learn in two weeks' time. With the board and train program, Otto was not only taught basic commands and leash etiquette but gained confidence in day to day activities such as riding in the car, visiting other people's homes, and socializing with other dogs. Plus, Theresa shared photos and videos everyday which made the two weeks without Otto more bearable. Since bringing Otto home, almost every sticking point we had before his board and train has been resolved (follows commands, doesn't cry when I leave the apartment, walks on my left/doesn't pull, and doesn't bark at other dogs). If you are considering a dog trainer, look no further than Mahogany Ridge!

Not only is she training the dog, she more importantly trains you. Which is key, you need to be willing and able to continue the work at home.

I can't recommend Blue Ridge Canine enough. Krystal is incredibly gifted in training service dogs…read more(and other dogs!) It's like she has some special insight to how the dogs work, how they think, and even seems to know what they're going to do next based on little things that the dog might be getting ready to do that a handler might miss until they are taught. She's funny, clearly loves her job and is WONDERFUL at it. Her greatest joy, though, seems to be loving the dogs- even the ones that aren't hers, just there for some board and train- and ensuring that they're happy, well adjusted, and ready for the outside world. I'm not sure why anyone would give her one star, unless they are just a terminally unhappy person. I completely trust Krystal.

We've gone to a few puppy social sessions with Dara hosted at Dogtopia and as the pups are playing, she gives insightful comments on what is considered normal and what to look out for. Luna is very rambunctious and excited towards other dogs so with Dara guiding us on how to manage her around those situations, we've been able to practice certain methods which has helped. We've also completed her 7 week Basic Manners Class. What I liked about it is that she taught us how to reinforce the goal(s) we had for each week and everyone gets involved. She has answered any and all questions we had regarding training methods and recommendations on equipment, etc. Luna definitely still has a long way to go but she's done very well so far compared to weeks ago. There are definitely a lot of resources online that you can refer to but training in person with Dara has been a great experience and reassured many aspects in raising our little one, especially as beginners. I would definitely recommend Dara and The Enlightened Dog for any training needs you have for your pup!

I am writing to share how pleased I am with the two lessons I have had with my pit bull mix puppy…read more I was a bit reluctant because of the cost, but Marley is very much still a youngster and super high energy, so in view of so many high ratings I decided to bite the bullet and enroll. We hopefully will have her for many years, and will all be happier if she (and us!) are well-trained. Marley is very smart and I was sure that with the right help she would learn fast. The first lesson was with Ryan...he was knowledgeable, patient with both canine and human, articulate and calm. He even was able to make the experience fun for Marley. Jake was with us the second time, and he was just as terrific as Ryan. There is a lot of information given, but with the way they taught, I have been able to retain most of it and work successfully with Marley between classes. I intend to complete 4 sessions and sign up for 4 more. I'm so appreciative, and look forward to effective training for all of us. I highly recommend Off Leash!! Pam Talley & Marley

We had a two week long boarding training with our two dogs and they clearly got ZERO training. They most likely were stuck in their crates the entire time (we were given their crates back with the blankets thrown away because they deficated and urinated on them which they NEVER did that previously, and the crates were so filthy of poop). The "trainer", well her (what very much appeared to be) drug using boyfriend was in the icu the majority of the time our dogs were in their care. The dogs were also picked up in an ashtray looking car, ash and cigarette butts and trash filled in the car by her bf and herself. They're lucky we were ignorant young adults back then, if all this were to have happened now, it'd be a different story. I still feel so bad for even allowing our dogs to stay with them.
