Daniel has an incredible talent for understanding how your dog learns and communicates so you build an unbreakable bond with them. This bond translates into pristine obedience because your dog respects you and from our experience, it's truly life changing for everyone involved. We recommend him to everyone we've ever met and strangers we are struggling with their pups on the street! Every dog can benefit from time with Daniel, big or small, old or young!

I originally thought it might be expensive, but he is absolutely worth the lifetime investment in my dog. I'm very happy with the results and he continues to follow up and see if we need any more support. I highly recommend him for any kind of training. I still think my dog likes him better!

BUYER BEWARE!!!!! I hired Mike, ( paid for a lifetime guarantee $1,500) the dog trainer from Bark…read moreBuster to train my dogs to stop barking at the windows and rushing the front door at visitors. His training was fear based and did not help with either problem. A year later my large dog started attacking my smaller dog. Reached out to Mike, He came by and had me buy a muzzle from him and told me to keep it on her. No plan other than that. We had a facetime call a week later. Still no plan. A week later when muzzle was removed, she attacked my smaller dog and seriously injured him. Tried to contact Mike and he ghosted me stating he didn't know me. I had to put my large dog down and the injuries to my small dog was over $3,000. I contacted the Bark Buster's corporate office and they responded with an apology. I asked for a refund since I felt like the training was an epic fail. I used all of their ridiculous BAH... techniques and it was a bust. They also ghosted me.....DO NOT USE THEM! There is no lifetime service or anything else.

***LONG REVIEW BUT WORTH THE READ***…read more This is my sweet, rowdy, rambunctious, and very demanding pup Rhodi! As a first time puppy owner, I just wanted to keep her happy. I let her get away with a lot! I quickly realized that I was not in charge of her but she was in charge of me. What I thought was being sweet was in Rhodi's mind "I can do whatever I want because I won't be punished for it." She would chew any object she could find, bark at me constantly when I wasn't doing what she wanted, would not listen to me when I would call her name, jumped on me and other people, tried to escape out the front door, and peed in the house. I watched videos upon videos but nothing helped! I was doing research on dog trainers and the first thing I thought was "this is so overpriced!" As a young college student with a rowdy dog, I was determined to find the best price with the most qualified trainer and I did! Bark Busters and specifically Cody are the best thing I could have done for both me and Rhodi. I was really nervous about having someone in my home "telling" me how to train my dog, but Cody TAUGHT me. If there was something I was struggling with, like leash training, he showed me an alternative way for me to get her to listen to me. The thought in my mind was "wow, he's not making me do it this way because it's the right way, but he found me a way that was Rhodi's right way I could do confidently." Cody was validating my feelings about not wanting to hurt Rhodi's feelings and continued to talk to me about ways that would not harm my dog or hurt her feelings. Simply being able to "talk" to Rhodi in a way she could understand that I was in charge and that she would still be safe and okay was the goal. In a matter of 2 hours Rhodi was trained! Cody did his job and now it's my turn to do mine with her by following through with the keys to success only Cody could have given to me.

Frankie helped my dog so much, and myself as a first time dog owner. She is so down to earth, compassionate, and intelligent -- she truly understands canines and how they operate. You will not find a better trainer!

Prior to his training with Robin, he knew some basic commands but he'd only obey them if he was incentivized by a treat or toy. He constantly pulled on his leash and we definitely did not trust him off leash. Our primary goal with training was off leash walking and recall and Robin knocked it out of the park.It's been 7 months since his training and he's still crushing it. During training, she sent us updates almost every day so we could watch his progress and he had a great time with them. When Robin dropped him off after his training, he cried when she left - that's how much fun he had during his board and train. Since then, we have boarded Milo with Robin and David 5 or 6 times and Milo's always so happy to see them. David always picks Milo up and drops him off at our house and he's always professional and on time. We're planning on getting another dog in a year or two and will absolutely have Atlanta Dog Stars do their training as well. We did a lot of research before choosing a dog trainer and we could not recommend Robin and David enough.

He teaches you that consistency in your training will make a happy and well behaved pet. I found this to be true.

We had Charles work with them while we were on our honeymoon and now they're inseparable. All that to say, Charles is a miracle worker. His rates are fair and the knowledge he has is vast. I will say, be prepared, because he's going to be very straight forward and some may be a little sensitive to his approach, (in short, it's not the dog, it's you, and he's going to tell you that) so try not to get your feelings hurt.

She is extremely high energy and struggled with leash/dog reactivity, making walks stressful and kept us from taking her basically anywhere public. We did the 2 Week Board and Train program. After training, walks are calm, controlled and actually enjoyable now. We can take her to Downtown Woodstock and other public spots without anxiety -- it's been a TOTAL game changer for our family. Everyone at OTCK9 is professional, communicative and made sure we understood how to maintain everything at home. We love that they offer group classes for life on Saturdays to continue reinforcing the training! We also take crazy Luna to Doggy Daycare and she loves it! Cannot say enough good things about the staff and OTCK9 - Highly recommend!!!

They are so much more than a training facility--you and your dogs become family. They are always there when you need them, and I truly mean always. Their passion for what they do shines through in the level of care and dedication they show. I cannot recommend them enough. They will love and care for your dog just as much as you do.

At his age, grooming can be stressful, but their team treats him with such patience, gentleness, and genuine care that he actually relaxes -- something I never thought I'd see during grooming. From the moment we arrive, they greet Poke like he's family. They take their time, move at his pace, and make sure he's comfortable every step of the way. His coat comes out soft, clean, and beautifully trimmed, and he always smells fresh without any overpowering fragrances -- perfect for a sensitive senior pup. What really sets them apart is the love they show. They understand senior dogs, they honor their quirks, and they make the whole experience feel safe and calm. I trust them completely with Poke, and that peace of mind is priceless.
