Still waiting for 3 additional sessions as i its been over 5 years . I wouldnt waste my money.

I had a handful of an aging lab with serious aggressiveness toward other dogs. I'm pretty familiar with dogs over the last 30 years and have trained my boys throughout, but this was beyond me. A friend recommended them, and I was given Mary Casey to assess us both, and show unbelievable patience, concern and guidance to help right the ship. After 6 training sessions, he is on his way to living a much better life than I thought. Mary also helped me to stay calm and project it to my dog as well, while also showing him that he was not in charge. Lance and I will be forever grateful for the calm and caring direction she provided throughout. My suggestion is not to wait on things because they will inevitably get worse; I was fortunate to realize early that we both needed intervention, and I highly recommend Lorenzo's and Mary specifically for the professional help that likely saved this dog's life. read more

I went through hell getting my dog trained here. We definitely did get some training, but it wasn't worth the drama and trauma starting with Jason, then Lorenzo himself along with his assistant Rashied. I was emotionally abused and recently witnessed my dog being physically abused by the man himself. I wrote a review of my awful experience with Jason, but Lorenzo got me to remove it promising to complete the job himself by doing "three weeks of training in five days". I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them. Hopefully I've saved someone reading this from the stress, abuse and trauma we've endured. I stayed and kept trying to fight for everything I'd already paid for as long as possible. Say one thing, do another, treat people like poop when it's convenient and don't even appear to care one bit, pretty much sums up my experience. Pretty sad and disgusting actually. Lorenzo is good at putting on quite a show, however I discovered the hard way what's hidden behind the show curtains. There was one woman trainer who I worked in group with that was very kind, personable and helpful although I sent her a dm asking for advanced training and gave compliments on her skills in which she forwarded to Lorenzo after which Lorenzo told me I couldn't return to her group because I was harassing her. read more

My wife and I have two corgi's. One of them had bitten my wife in the past, was aggressive towards other dogs and we were expecting a baby. On top of this both Corgi's became extremely aggressive towards each other. We had to keep them separated at all times, unless we wanted to risk getting a stray bite from trying to break them up. With a baby on the way I was faced with a decision. I could either get rid of one of the dogs, who was my first dog or look at alternative options: try to adopt out a dog known to be aggressive or probably end up euthanized. I was fortunate to be put in touch with Anton Yablonsky who scheduled a consultation came over and did an assessment based off of listening to our past history with the dogs. I love my dogs to death and was tearing up at the end knowing that I might have to say goodbye because I couldn't trust them around my child. Anton took the time to understand everything and both dogs were boarded once he could see that they both were aggressive towards each other. They were boarded for 6 weeks while he worked with them and what I appreciated was his honesty. They were initially scheduled to come back at 4 weeks, but he let me know that he didn't believe they were ready yet, so he kept them for an additional two weeks in order to ensure they were both properly trained. He did also stop by with the dogs, so we were able to see them in person during the training process which we both really appreciated because we did miss them. When our dogs were introduced back into our home, I was amazed at the change in their temperament. They are now calm, confident and well-behaved pets. We are truly able to enjoy our fur babies again! I can place them both on a doggy bed in my home office right next to each other and they will stay their all-day side by side without any aggression towards each other. They also understand commands on and off leash to a point where I said to my wife it's like they understand English perfectly now because they always listen to what I say. Walking with them is easy and I don't have to worry when another dog is walking towards them because they will follow my commands and sit while I speak with another dog owner. This is also true when I take them to the vet. The anxiety of having our dogs with a new baby in the house has subsided. I can't thank Anton Yablonsky enough for what he has done to save our dogs-literally. I continue to go to the group classes that he offers to continue to socialize and keep the dogs sharp with their training. I have already recommended Anton Yablonsky to friends in need. If you are struggling and want your dogs to be as happy ours, then Anton is the best trainer for the job!!! read more

Alyssa was wonderful with our behavioral Golden Retriever who would bark, jump up, and run up to people and other dogs on walks. She gets down to business immediately upon entering the house and is patient with people and the dog. She trains firmly but with care. You cannot go wrong when choosing to work with Alyssa! read more

I had been refused and told to return my puppy from all other trainers due to how fearful he was of people. A friend recommended Lorenzo's and it changed everything for us. I was at my wits end and had no idea what to do with my dog but I knew I couldn't just give him up he was only 4 months old. My trainer helped me build his confidence in our sessions and now he gets to enjoy his life on and off leash. read more

Such a disappointment with your constant cancellations and not seeing my dog for 3 weeks. No training completed, no updates and no pictures. Most communication was initiated by me. If you were that sick, Cosmo should've been brought home right away and boarding rescheduled. How sick were you really? How much training did he really get being boarded with you for 3 weeks? Would not recommend Anton handling any animals, his behavior is irresponsible and lacks any type of professionalism. read more

Do not bring your dogs here! They use shock collars, prong collars, and correct them with a harsh yank of the leash using a choke chain! The training was so horrible that I couldn't finish the last two sessions. They're also very expensive. They also claim to, "Fix this and fix that," but they don't do it. I let them take my 2 dogs home to train for 2 weeks, but they came back with none of their issues fixed; one issue was worse, and a new one surfaced. There was a lot of very bad reviews here but it looks like someone removed them. I will tell 2 of them because people need to be warned of this company. One lady brought her rescue dog to them for aggression problems; after the session at Lorenzo's his aggression was so much worse that she had to have him put down. She swore she would spend her life trying to get them closed down. I hope she succeeds! Another one said they used food to train his dog with and when he got his dog back, he was skin and bones. The horror stories went on and on. I'd say there was 90% bad reviews with only a few good ones. I see someone has taken down all but 2 bad reviews and there's a lot of good ones. That's disturbing. Anyway, I do not recommend this company. Don't think different trainers here train differently; they all believe in and practice the Lorenzo method; I call that method abuse. i wish I had believed all those bad reviews and saved my dogs from 2 weeks of suffering at their hands. I would also like to add that when I got my dogs back, the white's of Ernie's eyes were red. I wondered what it was so I looked it up online. It said it could be trauma or an eye disease; he'd just seen the vet so I knew it wasn't a disease; I seriously think it was trauma from being choked too much. Also, when they come to your house, they put the choke chain around your wrist and snap it and say, "Now that didn't hurt did it?" I thought, " Well no, that didn't hurt at all." So I decided it must not be too bad. That demonstration together with the person that said it doesn't hurt them, it only corrects them, had a lot to do with why I decided to go with them. But when they put that choke chain around the dog's neck they do not just snap it quickly. They make you get the leash in a baseball like grip and yank it really hard! Your poor dog's head goes straight up in the air while you yank his neck. It's not a fun thing to watch or do. I am still really upset that I not only allowed these people to do that to my dog, I did it to him too. I'll never do that again. I'm still so upset about the whole ordeal, plus like I said, they were VERY expensive. I'm talking $3300.00 for 2 wks. at the trainer's house for 2 dogs. Ridiculous!! On top of all that they, and we, went through they didn't even learn a thing in the 2 wks. they spent at the trainer's home. They're a horrible place in every aspect! read more

What was promised was not what we received, our dog is still the same as before the training. I would not recommend Lorinzo to anyone as least not in Colorado. read more

I was referred to Lorenzo's by my vet at Scottsdale Ranch Animal Hospital, and set up a one-hour initial consult for mom and her dogs. I was out of town at the time and wanted to talk to the trainer while he was at mom's home. I called 30 minutes into the appointment, but trainer was longer there. Trainer stayed 10 minutes and left read more

My experience with this trainer was less than satisfactory. Please reference the facebook review inwhich the trainer responded with inaccurate information. You can also see my response to the trainer's on there as well. read more

I can't say enough about Mateo who trained and boarded my precious puppy, Chloe. The Coordinator, Anton, was a big support as well. They provide firm guidance to both me and my pet and we're always available for my many questions. Many thanks to Mateo from Chloe and I! read more

My family and I adopted a shelter dog one year ago, and we quickly realized that we had taken on a tough dog with a rough past. We've had pets, including dogs, before, and we read the books and researched websites on training and proper introductions, but we were no match for our headstrong pup. Post adoption, our new dog proved to be very smart, rather pushy, and fear aggressive toward other dogs and some people. Despite our best efforts, he quickly took over the house. Our cats hid in fear, and our lives started revolving around the dog and his bad behavior. At one point, we stopped inviting guests over because his behavior was so stressful and embarrassing. We love our dog, but we were struggling. We didn't want to give up on him, and returning him to the shelter was simply not an option I could live with. I knew training would help, and initially, we tried some other basic classes through other organizations. Our dog mastered the basic skills quickly, but that didn't help us with his dominance and aggression issues. We bought every gizmo, leash, treat and toy recommended, but nothing really seemed to work. Our vet recommended Lorenzo's Dog Training. I was initially a little skeptical, but wow, these folks know what they're doing! Anton and his crew have been training and rescuing dogs for years, and he quickly picked up on the issues that we were facing. Over the last several months, Anton has worked to get our head-strong pup to settle into his role as 'dog' and not 'King of the House', and he's helped us be better dog owners. It has rebalanced our relationship, and while we still have more work to do, I am so impressed by my dog's progress so far. There are a lot of people who call themselves 'trainers' out there, but there are few that can match the skill, experience, and dedication that Anton and his team can offer. I wish we would have found them sooner! read more

Anton Yablonsky is an incredible dog trainer dedicated to show you how your dog can be obedient and respectful. We have two dogs that have been through on and off leash and retrieval training. We proudly bring them everywhere with us. We are always getting compliments about how well behaved our dogs are. We recommend Anton to anyone who is looking for basic obedience or service dog training. He's a great guy. read more

I have been lucky enough to work with the members of Anton's team through the rescue I work with. Galen and Mateo have literally changed the fate of three of our dogs. One I personally fostered as a bottle baby. They are professional, dependable and the level of commitment they have to making the dogs upstanding members of the household is incredible. They know what they are doing and I cannot sing their praises enough. Have recommended them a few times and those referrals have had outstanding results as well. read more

I adopted a dog from a local rescue back in May 2017, a St. Bernard at 150 pounds, that turned out to be a very aggressive dog. My philosophy on adopting a dog, you know it will have history but you have to figure it all out - taking the dog back is not an option. Ti (his nickname) challenged me on this in a very, very serious way. He was great with me and my other dogs but he was very aggressive to humans. He was 150 pounds, and I hated to say this, but he became, within a few days of adopting him, a (potentially) dangerous dog. (I didn't know any of this when I adopted him and was not told). I had a friend start to come up to the door after I said "come meet my new baby" and Ti jumped up on the screen door, pretty much covering the whole door, barking, growling. Obviously my friend was terrified. On another day, he tried to attack one of my friends - lunging at her - but I had him on two leashes (I was afraid one would fail) and I was able to pull him back. I talked with everyone I could think of about what to do. I spent an hour with the vet asking him what to do. My philosophy kept coming back to me and bringing him back to the rescue was tearing me apart. I also felt since I didn't know any of this when I adopted him, I would have to watch the rescue to make sure they included this in his profile going forward. If they didn't I would have to take action, if they did, who would adopt him?? I emailed back and forth to the rescue as they continued to deny any knowledge of it. At one point there was a 4 day period that I didn't hear from them and in that time, I totally fell in love with Ti. Now I had to figure out what to do, for real. I asked around about trainers and was eventually referred to Lorenzo's Dog Training and Anton Yoblansky. When he came to the door, Ti was extremely aggressive (again, remember, 150 pounds) and even made Anton nervous - I don't think he expected this level of aggression and the size of the dog it was coming from. I put Ti outside and he kept banging his head on the doggy door to try it get in and we were both concerned he may be able to do it. We had the initial evaluation (which was just that introduction from a distance before putting him outside). It ended up that Ti had to be taken away for 3 weeks with Anton for more intense training because of his serious aggression and size (I know I keep saying aggression, aggression, aggression, but that is to really get across the potential that was there). Anton was so patient with me as cried when he took him away. I texted asking for pictures of Ti, which he sent, and even a video at one point. I would be crying afraid that he would love Anton now and not me. Anton reassured me over and over that Ti would still love me. He was always available and attentive....funny and fun too - and always on time for appointments. He spent time with me and the dog, training us both. Today, Ti is great, obedient, lets people pet him, loves to be groomed in the bubble bath, had shots at the vet, his paws looked at, temp taken and he was cooperative through the whole thing (and obedient). All this while I let him "be a dog" at home. He barely barks at the door. I am so proud of him and while I believe love and security have been critical in his turn around, so was his work and training with Anton. There continue to be weekend group sessions that are also very helpful. I have read some other reviews that talked about shock collars and the controversy around them. Anton did make me put my own fingers on the shock to see what it felt like. He taught me how to use it but he also knows my hesitancy to use it. At this point, although Ti is sooo good, when we go out he still wears his prong collar and the shock collar. The only reason he wears it is for protection should he decide to go back to his old ways. I have never used it. But also keep in mind that at this point, thanks to his training, a light pull on his prong collar is enough and I rarely even have to do that. When my neighbors see him now they are very surprised and even joke saying "did you put him on sedatives". LOL Ti is the best dog, and this would not have happened without Anton and Lorenzo's. Love and security helped too but would never have been enough given Ti's back ground - it turned out he came from an extremely high crime, very, very dangerous area in California and was passed around to multiple homes in one year - I was number 4 in that one year. I highly recommend Anton. I don't know where Ti and I would be without them! read more

My family has two herding dogs (Australian shepherd and Border Collie) and they are crazy smart, but have more energy than any of our previous dogs, even our two prior border collies. So, our vet referred us to Lorenzo's and we called them as well as other trainers in town. Other trainers' techniques just didn't seem to make sense to us (between the metal chain bags or electronic collar work before leash handling). So, we made an appointment to meet with Lorenzo's. They focus on handling on-leash before going off-leash, which leads to your dog both respecting and actually listening to you. We are only partially through our second training, but we have worked with Anton with both and he is phenomenal! Handles the dogs so well, is a very good and understanding instructor to those who are beginners and tries to work with your schedule as long you're understanding of his. Another perk of Lorenzo's is they allow you to continue with group training after your personal sessions have ended. We highly recommend Lorenzo's and think you'll avoid spending a bunch of extra money if you choose them first. read more

I've had an amazing experience with Lorenzo's Dog Training Team, and more specifically with Anton Yablonsky as my trainer. I have a 3 year old male Pitbull and his name is Tucker. I adopted him from the pound a little over a year ago. Tucker is the biggest ham and loves other animals, children and adults. In recent months Tucker has begun marking in my home and showing aggression towards me when I discipline him for his bad behavior. What at first started out as low growling towards me, soon escalated to Tucker charging and trying to bite me. I was at my wits end with him before I reached out to Anton, contemplating on humanely euthanizing. Anton took Tucker for four weeks and I joined him for training sessions a few times. Tucker has made an amazing transformation. Anton saved Tucker's life, and there's really no other way to put it. I have my lovable dog back, only now he respects and see's me as the person in charge. I couldn't be more grateful for the hard work Anton has put into Tucker and all the tools he has given me to ensure I am successful as his owner. read more
