My wife and I took our 1 year old golden retriever, Ellie, here for training, after luckily…read morestumbling upon it on google and reading the outstanding reviews. Having adopted Ellie recently, she did not have the best manners, and really had not undergone any sort of training her whole life. We knew she could use the extra help with some professional training. She had poor leash skills, jumped up on us and strangers all the time, and chewed objects around the house. After the two week training camp, Ellie is basically a different dog (see YouTube video below from her second week of training camp). She has great leash walking skills, responds very well to "no", will sit in "place" (her bed) and stay, and is all around a better behaved dog. We even had follow up lessons with Jonathan to make sure we know how all the training commands and techniques worked and to help us stay on top of it. Jonathan was nice enough to even work with our other dog and give us tips for him. I would definitely recommend San Antonio Dog Training Co to friends and family and believe the price is very worth it (Yet their prices are much more reasonable than many local training camps). https://youtu.be/LMe1qWVPWkY

They worked really well with her, gave her time to settle in. When I would drop her off in the am we greeted in a nice friendly way by Scott. Robert took her every morning and walked her around. I mentioned she was leery of the techs going to vans in the parking lot and he got her out there to observe them. Kendall her main trainer was a positive force for her and she really likes her now. (This is big for this girl and her fears) She has become more focused and listens much better. Took her to pickup curbside on our way home from class, normally she backs away from the curbside employee or tries to go up front. Today she sat nicely in the car, watched them and didn't try to get away from. Big improvement. I look forward to watching her become even more confident with her group classes. Highly recommend!

We were so lucky to have Josh as a trainer to work with our mischevous pup. He's enthusiastic and knows dogs really well, and his guidance is much appreciated.

We now work with Kendall who has been super helpful with pointers on how to sharpen Piko's skills. All in all, an excellent staff.

While he has bitten people before, I didn't want to do something that drastic without getting some outside help. So, I called Marcus and ... long story short, after just maybe 30-40 mins, I am fully confident I'll won't have to put down my dog. He was just fearful and aggression was a strategy. I've learned to 'speak dog' and although it will take a few weeks, I'm so grateful and appreciative because I see a clear path forward that is very simple to implement (although it does take effort but it's not complicated)

I am especially impressed by the enrichment activities provided. It is hard to make time to take the pups to a group class, and the training that they receive during their weekly visit is a real help. The pups get their share of social interaction, play, some group and individual activities. Jenna took the Reactive Rover class and really benefitted from the training. Courage is taking her first Sidekick class. Lilly will join a class soon. The owner, Stephanie, and manager, Maggie and staff genuinely love dogs. My pups love them right back.

My husband and I adopted Drake from craigslist a few months ago. We were told that he was a…read morewell-behaved family dog. What we found out, however, was an entirely different story! He bit my husband all the way home from Austin (where we picked him up) and then proceeded to let us know he wasn't potty trained the moment we got to the house. Shortly after, he also let us know he did not like visitors to our apartment. He'd follow them around nipping and growling at their feet relentlessly. We gave him grace for awhile thinking it was the new environment, but after he bit the Petco Trainer during the graduation of Adult 1, we knew we had to do something. From the moment that I called Karma Dog Training, I felt very comfortable. Jeff answered my call and he patiently listened to me explain the situation. He went into detail about dog aggression and referred us to Carolyn. Carolyn was prompt in helping me get scheduled for an appointment and arrived on the decided time. Our first secession was last night. The moment Carolyn arrived I could tell she was perfect for the situation. She is very soft spoken and gentle. My husband and I watched as she went through a series of potential trigger test on him. She isolated sound quickly, which never even occurred to me! Carolyn informed us that Drake's aggression is definitely fear based. She gave us exercises that we can do with our guest to help build his confidence. Also, she walked us through the steps of greeting guest, from the moment they knock on the door. We know that this will be a journey of replacing fearful situations, with positive ones, but I can tell with the tools and advice she gave us, that we have a starting foundation to build on. On a side note, we recently adopted another dog named Elena. We have not had the time to start obedience training with her, and she is only six months. Needless to say, she's quite the wiggle worm. Towards the end of the session, we let her down for the greeting the guest portion. She literally would just plop down in a sit at Carolyn's feet, and spend minutes calmly looking up at her. I was baffled. Her attention span is about two seconds. Overall, we received 10-star customer service! The whole process was fantastic, and we are looking forward to having another session. Let it be known, that I researched, and spoke to over 10 dog trainers/ behaviorists in San Antonio.. and can honestly say my experience with Karma Dog Training was the best! My husband and I have no doubt in our minds that Carolyn will be our go to trainer for any issues here on out.

We had such a wonderful experience working with Dean from Double D Dog Training! We did in-home…read morepuppy training for our Cavalier, Henry, and I truly can't say enough good things about the entire process. From the very beginning, Dean was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient - not just with Henry, but with us as well. He has a way of making training feel approachable and even fun, which made such a difference as this was our first experience with a dog trainer. Nothing ever felt overwhelming or intimidating. Dean was also very reassuring that a lot of what we have experienced with our Henry was normal puppy behavior. What really stood out to us was how personalized the training was. Dean took the time to understand Henry's personality and our lifestyle, and then tailored everything to fit our home environment. That made it so much easier for us to stay consistent and actually implement what we were learning day-to-day. Henry has learned all of his basic commands and is doing so well. We've seen such a transformation in his behavior, confidence, and responsiveness. It's been such a joy to watch him grow, and we truly feel like Dean set us up with a strong foundation that will last. If you're looking for someone who is not only skilled at what he does but also genuinely cares about both you and your dog, we highly recommend Dean. This was one of the best investments we've made for Henry and our home!

We just might be one of the most difficult cases LOMA has ever had. Our two rescues were fighting and we called LOMA in absolute desperation. They seemed to get along really well at first and then things went really wrong. We had no idea what to do. We were at a loss. Dr. Lorraine had to use every trick and tool she has to help our boys and to help us too! At that time, our two boys were about 2 years old. We had many so many trials and errors. Dr. Lorraine was incredibly patient with us. The training really was for us just as much as it was for our dogs. Our boys are now 7 years old and they have both made a complete turn around. They aren't the same dogs anymore. They have developed some good manners and they have learned to get along with each other. They actually enjoy having people come to visit versus having the meltdowns they used to have when someone set foot into our house. We have consistently kept Dr. Lorraine's instructions as part of our daily routine. The time and money we spent training our dogs was a very valuable investment for us. We very highly recommend them.

We have three dogs and it's not fair to keep one of them separated from their humans, so I reached out for help. One of our neighbors shared with me that Anthony was able to significantly decrease the aggressiveness in their bulldog and felt like he could help us with our situation. After both Scout and Neo spent three weeks at K-9 Collab, and our continuance of the training at home, we continued to see improvement on Scout's part to tolerate Neo. We no longer have to stand guard over Neo when all three go outside...Scout will still stroll by to sniff, but she mostly ignores him.

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. They taught us how to train our dog to sit , stay, wait ,place as well as learning how to go to his designated space for down and settle. I felt the instructors were excellent. 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.
