She was kind enough to send me links and give advice on separation anxiety in my then 8 1/2 week old puppy. I knew then that she was going to be our 'person'! Our first consultation was yesterday evening and she was seriously beyond anything that I could've wished for. She blew me away with her knowledge, warmth and love for our stubborn and sweet-ish boy. Ana accompanied her and was equally as amazing and kind. They both gave suggestions, examples, paperwork and lessons to me on everything that I had questions about and more! They both were able to see right away what difficulties that I was having with Jax and assured me that we were all going to work together to make him successful in his training. We're working hard on our homework and we look forward to our future meetings with Glenda and Ana. I honestly believe that with the two of them in our corner, Jax's future looks extremely bright!

This place is by far the best training facility I have seen! I have a 3 yr Great Pyrenees Rescue…read morethat had no training and he was to much for me to handle on my own. I had used some other trainers in the past for some of my others but I never had any success so I was not getting to excited about trying another place. But after reading about them and being owned and trained by Veterans I was sold. I took him in and I met the new trainer Gage. I liked him and facilitates right away. i left my baby there 15 days and Gage was awesome, he was constantly sending me videos and photos of his progression .Then after the time was up we went in for the training of me. Anyway, my dog is perfect, and I would not suggest a better place!

Waste of money. $2800 for e-collar training over a 15 day period and it barely made a difference in…read moremy dog. Ashley was his "trainer", although I really don't know how much time she spent with him, since communication was very spotty during his board and train due to "phone issues" and a "medical issue". I got one video of my dog training with two other trainers at a Lowes, and just a couple pictures of him during his time there. Upon pickup, it was clear he didn't have a mastery of the "place", "heel", and "off", all of which are in the contract as skills the dog will learn. Even with reinforcement, I feel most of his time there was wasted. You can buy the mini educator e-collar for $180, which is the one they send you home with, and train your pet yourself with just a few hours a week and save yourself a ton of money. The worst thing, was that immediately after he came home he was sick with a virus that he was exposed to during his stay and cost me $5000 in vet bills to save his life. He was fully vaccinated, but still got sick, and after I contacted Bulletproof, they made no effort to help or follow up. Now, clearly this is a one-off review, but do yourself a favor and research e-collar training before you spend so much money on this training facility.

Mark from Off Leash K9 Training delivers real, consistent results with daily communication and true…read morereal, world training. This saving you time, money, and frustration. I wish I had found Off The Leash first because it would have saved me thousands of dollars and a lot of frustration. Before Ronnie came here, I had already paid, the Same Money for another board,and, train program through Dog Wise. Ronnie already knew her basic obedience commands before she went. We hired them because we needed help with her resource guarding and wanted her exposed to real, life situations and people. She came home knowing how to "place" on a cot, but that was about it. I tried to convince myself it was worth it, but in my heart I never felt like she was getting worked with every day. I received very few basic train videos or updates during her stay, and honestly, it felt more like she spent her time in a kennel than in training. She even came home without her personalized collar and leash. We did not receive any of the follow up sessions promised. I also spent a lot of money on private one-on-one lessons with another trainer through Sit Means Sit. Four 50-minute sessions later, I still wasn't getting the help Ronnie really needed. I spoke with two other companies that turned Ronnie down because of the outcome from Dog wise. Then we found Off The Leash. From the very beginning, it has been a completely different experience. Ronnie bonded with her trainer Mark almost immediately, and you can see how much he genuinely care about her. Every single day I get videos, updates, and a summary of exactly what they worked on, how Ronnie did, what they're building on next, and what I need to know when she comes home. I never have to wonder what's happening because they keep me involved every step of the way. The biggest difference has been the real-world training. Ronnie isn't just learning commands in a building. She's going on field trips to busy stores like Lowe's, pet stores, sporting goods stores, parks, and other places where there are real distractions. She's learning how to be confident and how to make good choices in everyday situations. I also love seeing videos of her in mark's home interacting with his family. Watching Ronnie become more relaxed, more social, and more confident has meant so much to me. As someone who works full time, travels for work, and is also a full-time caregiver, I simply don't have the time to give Ronnie this kind of daily exposure and consistency. That's exactly why I chose a board, and, train program, and this is the first time I truly feel like I'm getting what I paid for. I'm actually excited for the leash handover because I know they're going to teach me how to continue everything Ronnie has learned. They've made me part of the process instead of making me feel like someone waiting on the sidelines. If you're looking for a trainer, ask questions. Ask how often you'll get updates. Ask to see training videos. Ask how much real world exposure your dog will get. For me, Off The Leash has restored my confidence in professional dog training. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. I will use them again.

SADTC helped me through one of the most difficult times in my life - raising a lab puppy…read more When I chose Kona as a puppy 7 weeks old, I knew her parents - a 110lb male and a 100lb female. They were short and stout and STRONG. I used my brain and decided I did not want a 100lb lab ruining my life, my things, and my patience, so I decided to put her through some training classes as opposed to buying a few books and doing it on my own. I had watched through the window at a few of the PetSmart training sessions and not blown away by what I saw, or by the people who were attending the class (classmates are very important in dog training classes, as you don't want to be with somebody who can't or doesn't want to handle their jerky dog). Luckily, I bought a wire dog crate from a woman on Craigslist who told me all about the wonders of SADTC (I met her at the Humane Society where she and her German Shepherd were attending a class). I kept SATDC stuck in the back of my mind until I felt Kona was ready for some good ol' fashioned learnin.' SADTC holds their classes at the SA Humane Society at 410 & Fredericksburg. Each of the classes I took had about 15 people in each. All dogs are to have their shots, and luckily, most of the dogs weren't total dbags to begin with. Kona and I took the Clicker 1 and 2 classes, and both instructors were smart and knew what they were doing. By the end of the Clicker2 class, Kona can sit, stay, down, "leave it," walk very well on-leash, and do a few other entertaining tricks. If you are a crazy-dog-person, the further classes include something to do with Dog Dancing, as well as more involved obedience classes to prepare you for showing your dog if that's your thing. A caveat: Your dog will only be trained as well as you train it. Don't expect magic to happen if you aren't willing to practice and learn along with your dog. A+++ Would train with again!!!

I can't say enough good things about Arfordable Dog Training. When I first adopted my dog, he…read morestruggled with excessive barking, demand barking, and reactivity, and I felt overwhelmed trying to help him on my own. From day one, the Arfordable team was fully invested in his success. We started with a 6‑week 1:1 program, but day training ended up being a better fit for my schedule. After only a few sessions, his barking habits were significantly reduced. Even with how stubborn and difficult he was in the beginning, they never gave up on him. They gave me the confidence I needed to handle him in social settings and never once made me feel discouraged. Thanks to their guidance, patience, and consistency, he even earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen, something I never imagined would be possible when I first brought him home. Fast forward to today: he lives for Playcare. He adores his best buds and his favorite aunties, and the joy he has walking through their doors says everything. Arfordable goes above and beyond with their attention to detail between themed days, dog birthday parties, Secret Santa, and group outings. All the little touches that make this place feel like a second home. When we're out of town, I never worry. I know he's safe, loved, and cared for as if he were one of their own. Arfordable has played a huge role in shaping the dog he is today, and I'm endlessly grateful for the care, dedication, and heart they put into everything they do. Thank you, Arfordable, for loving my boy like family and giving him a place where he truly belongs.

We took a six week class which I felt was helpful, but he did need some basic obedience and we enrolled in that class.

I can't remember all their names, but Fab was excellent. when Rudy graduated from his class, he got a certificate and had a graduation picture taken. Right now I feel that I need to work on these basics before I enroll him in intermediate class, but when he's ready, I will definitely go back.

Charlie Blu, the Aussie, here telling you about my recent experience at Tails are Wagging…read more Even though Dad takes me everywhere, sometimes he needs to board me when he leaves town for my own sake, so this doggie camp was my first choice. It has a nice time range of drop off and pick up times which helps with Dad's schedule and ensures that I get to come home without delay. I like that we get an opportunity to play outside 90 minutes at a time, 3 times a day. The outdoor area is 1/2 covered and 1/2 in the sun, which gives me options in various weather conditions. Since I'm just a year old and under 40 lbs, the helpers also put me in the small doogie group with others my size, so we can play together. There is a separate area to go potty and plenty of time set aside to rest. The owner is friendly and answered questions quickly. After an interview, updated shots, and a 3 hour daycare trial , it was determined that I could come back here for an overnight stay. The 4'x6' kennels are big enough to get a good night sleep. It's a good thing Dad remembered the dog mat because the floors are concrete and would have been too cold for me. Glad we found this place because next to sticking to Dad and Mum like velcro, this boarding facility is a good fit when they can't be with me.
