Mike and his team are extremely professional and exceptional at what they do. Moose had issues with everything from digging and biting to pulling on the leash and difficulties with kennel training. Within two weeks with their board and train program, moose was a new dog. He was just as lovey as he was before, but now a great listener as well. Mike and his team helped us learn how to communicate with Moose. If I could give this company 20 stars, I would. I trust Mike with Moose, and I recommend this company to anyone who is looking to train their dog. Don't hesitate.. book with All Dogs Unleashed!!

Deb is my trainer, she's very hands on, patient and great to and with my dogs. I saw an immediate change in them. They are far from "fixed" but we are working on it and taking it a step at a time. I can't thank Deb enough for giving me the guidance to correct their behavior w/out strong/aggressive tactics. Bark Busters and Deb specifically are great. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. I've used other dog trainers but have found profound issues with how they treated the owner and/or the dogs. Deb treats us all with respect.

Kai's Obedience is a really unique training program and we've had a great experience so far. The…read moreclasses are engaging and actually fun to attend, and Kai does a great job keeping everyone involved while still expecting a lot from both the dogs and their owners. What really stands out is that this isn't just basic puppy training. The program goes far beyond simple commands, and dogs can continue on to earn certifications and develop much more advanced obedience skills. Watching the more experienced dogs walk completely off leash and follow commands with total focus is incredibly impressive. Kai clearly knows what he's doing and the structure of the program helps both dogs and owners stay consistent. If you're looking for a place where your dog can truly learn strong obedience skills and keep progressing over time, Kai's Obedience is a great option.

This large facility has either 3 or 4 large (rectangular) rings with a different class being given in each. There are a few daytime classes, but most are in the evening. All of the instructors are dedicated, experienced, and knowledgeable volunteers who must love working with all breeds of dogs and their owner/handlers, as evidenced by their patience and understanding of the many dog training challenges. My dog also took basic obedience and the Canine Good Citizenship class which upon completion, he and 6 of the 7 the other dogs in the class passed on test day. My only criticism of this class is that we trained with treats the whole time, but the class before the test, we were told treats were not allowed by the AKC certified tester. (If we were told before, I must have been in denial.) This made a huge difference in my dog's willingness to listen to my commands once he realized there wasn't going to be any "pay/reward". I worked with him the week before the test giving him treats randomly as the instructor had suggested, but I feel that transition could and should have been emphasized and practiced more during the previous classes. DMOTC is still a terrific place for a wide variety of classes for your dog and I plan to continue taking my dog to their classes. They are also more affordable than other private for-profit dog training schools. We are lucky to have this established club in our community.

We decided to try DMOTC because it was closer than our previous trainer- Rover's Ranch. Signed up for puppy class. What a waste of time. Not only will you spend 45 minutes trying to listen to someone read a page of information to you, with two other classes going on at the same time, but she will only pause briefly periodically to let you try something occasionally with your dog. Useful things for good dog behavior like scooting their butt back while in down position or doing high fives (versus walking on a leash or good solid recalls) There is absolutely no socializing of your puppy with any of the other puppies in the class. One woman had a puppy that had not been around other dogs. It was trying to play, but no one was allowed to let dogs off leashes and people were encouraged to leave as soon as class was over. No playing-little, if any, interaction between people and other dogs or any actual skills the dog might need. We stopped going as it wasn't worth the time. If you are new to owning a dog or want your puppy to have experience with other dogs, save your money and look elsewhere.
