After having a baby, my frustrations with our dog, Selene, were steadily growing. We had a hard…read moretime getting her to listen when telling her to leave the cats alone, she was very possessive of us, and, worst of all, she was obsessively licking our baby in the face. I had done some research about dog training, and was intrigued by Bark Busters, and was impressed with what I heard when I called to get more information. Nancy, the trainer for the DFW area came yesterday to work with Selene, and I am beyond pleased with our progress already. Nancy gave us so much wonderful information about why Selene was behaving the ways she was, and gave us simple ways to take back leadership from her. Nancy was out for three hours with us, and we are already having great results. Although it is a little more expensive than I was expecting for dog training, the lifetime guarantee for your pet is wonderful, and the information given at the start of training is also going to make life with future pups easier. All this to say, we loved working with Nancy and would do it all over again.

She not only attempted to use a cookie-cutter approach (walking well on a leash + asserting…read moredominance) for our specific situation (fear towards others), but also body-shamed me while laughing. This training method is fear based - she saw that my dogs were fearful + aggressively kept scaring them with her fear tactics to make them obey her commands. She never asked me about my personal approach with training my dogs or what they knew prior to her training exercises. I've never not had a dog in my life + am well versed in teaching basic commands + commanding attention - I just needed a little help with my pandemic puppy who needed some socializing. I could not recommend you further against using Bark Busters.

We had an amazing experience working with Justin. I worked with a different dog trainer in the…read morepast, and let's just say I wish I found Justin earlier! He is incredibly smart, compassionate, and truly understands that every dog is unique. He tailored the training specifically to our dog's needs, using a very gentle yet highly effective approach. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with -- it's not a one-size-fits-all method, and that made all the difference. Our dog responded so well to Justin and his training methods. On top of his excellent training skills, he's also a fantastic dog photographer! He captured some beautiful moments that we will cherish forever. (I included some pics he took in this review!) I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful, skilled trainer. We would definitely work with him again if ever needed. 10/10 recommend using him.

My sister and I got puppies about a month apart. One is a large breed and the other a toy breed…read more We live together and were really struggling to integrate the two pups and it was making life VERY difficult. We were afraid to let them be in the same room together due to the size difference - when they were in the same room, it was basically gladiator warfare! We chose to board and train them together with Justin for two weeks while we went on an overseas trip. We were absolutely shocked at the progress Justin made with them in a few short days. The pups are totally integrated and we are all finally able to relax in the same room together. Until Justin came along, we were sure this was going to be a forever issue. Aside from the integration, Justin really listened to what our concerns were for training and was able to address each and get us moving in the right direction. He approaches training with love and always with the intention of strengthening your bond with your dog and teaching how to behave so that your dog can live it's best life and have as many adventures with you as possible. It's evident that Justin loves his work and loves and really gets to know each dog. We got great updates every day on how things were going and what he was working on with them. He's also an amazing photographer and we have so many gorgeous puppy portraits that he took. Best decision we ever made to use Justin and Modern Dog to help us with our boys. We just got them back yesterday and they are already more calm, having loads more fun and happy boys!

From start to finish, Meranda & her team were incredibly knowledgeable, professional, thorough, and communicative. We received regular updates, photos, and progress reports, which gave us so much peace of mind while Mochi was away. It was clear he was in great hands and being trained with care and consistency. What really stood out was how intentional they were about involving us in the process. They made sure we understood the training, practiced with Mochi, and felt confident continuing everything at home so the results actually stick post-board and train. Mochi came home happier, more confident, and so much better behaved - and we feel empowered as owners, not left guessing. We highly recommend Night and Day K9 to anyone considering professional training. Worth every penny!

She is excellent with her knowledge of puppy and dog behavior habits and traits. She is a very seasoned trainer with lots of schooling and training herself. And having Belgians of her own really helped in my case. With the puppy management training it really helped out with the beginning months, and I'm so satisfied with the results I'm booking for the whole package and can't wait for my precious khaleesi to start a doggy boot camp.

The dogs did well but this type of training did not addresses some of the behavior issues. Amber came n and observed the dogs and all the family members so we could address the issues with all the dogs and family members. We were able to come up with a plan. The first stage of training is going well. There will be home work. It is easy and works well. If you have tried other trainers and still need help, I would contact Amber.

It not only gave us confidence in our efforts but, also gave us hope and motivation to encourage our little pup to be the best she can be.

I was told narcotics scent training was available but at drop off it was changed to birch wood. Then I have a dog with special needs as he will not eat away from home. I had to BEG for photos and updates knowing my dog wasn't eating for a week. Then they pass the SAME PHOTO and even sent me a screen shot of the edited time stamp to prove that they it wasn't edited. Guess they didn't look hard enough because the date the photo was really taken was on their screen shot. Attached are pics of the two weight pictures (drop off and pick up), a screen shot of the text message exchange and a close up showing the actual time stamp. The biggest thing is that I had a dog with special needs that was away from home not eating and I wasn't getting communication.

My fiancé and I adopted a dog in September named Angus from Paws in the City. We live in an…read moreapartment complex with a dog park and we would take Angus to the dog park to socialize and take care of business. Our poor pupper was attacked twice by the same two dogs and it completely changed his behavior. He just lost trust in other dogs and became aggressive when he would come across another dog. We didn't know how to reverse this behavior and that's when we started researching on dog training. My fiancé found Off Leash, watched all of the videos on their training and we decided to go for their 8 week program. We started with the trainer Brandon and he was wonderful. He really took the time to let Angus get comfortable with him and showed us several commands that had us in awe. Brandon was no longer going to be available on Saturday's so we were going to be switching with Sarah. Brandon observed her for a few session and then she was solo. It was the same service all across the board. The last 2 or 3 sessions, we went to dog parks but just to walk around them, allowing Angus to get familiar with being around other dogs, and how to control his behavior. This has honestly made a HUGE difference with our pupper! The training doesn't stop even though we're done with the program. We're now able to walk off leash with him around the complex and he can place anywhere we point to. We still have to work on getting Angus to be more relaxed when coming in contact with other dogs but we're very confident that we have the proper tools to get him there!
