Love working with Rob! Our rescue GSD pup has made great strides in training and we couldn't have done it without his knowledge of dogs and training. Always very fun to talk with and an overall really nice guy! Worth every penny! read more

Lose The Leash Dog Training - Maui at 6 months and better trained than we could have doneon our own. - Pet Training Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Rob, I am so sorry this took so long to get posted (technical difficulties). Now, we still do not have full control over our boys yet, and I do stress yet) but it is MUCH better. The training we received from you was instrumental in helping us in keeping our two boys safe. Your training was not for them, but for us. Capone and Pawlie appear much happier now, much more responsive, and Jodi and I are much more confident in our abilities. When our boys started becoming aggressive with each other, it broke our hearts. We had so much happening in our lives, we had forgotten that we project on to our kids. Instead of having one step forward , three steps back, we are now four steps forward and one step back. We just know, now, that we have to be more diligent with them and remember they too are our children. Your guidance, and teaching, has helped us regain our lives, and feel that our kids are safe, and they have been playing together. We, as Mom and Dad, still stress and want to make sure they are always safe, but our lives are much calmer because of you and your teaching. I look forward to actually getting to the group classes, and seeing you soon! Thanks again! Shane Brough read more

Our dog was really out of control when someone came to our door or in our house. We interviewed 2 companies and Lose The Leash had some much more advice and control of our dog. We just finished a 3 home visit training. Rob helped us have a dog we can once again have people visit. I highly recommend contacting and having Lose The Leash work with you and your dog!! read more

They responded right away to my contact request (via email) and gave me dates for an initial meeting. I selected one then didn't get a response back. Apparently their system had a disconnect. We eventually got together and have been training my "beast" for the last few weeks. He's responded so well to Rob that I actually can walk him in my neighborhood without him dragging me around. Now my former "beast" is becoming a real "beauty!" Rob really responds well to dogs and they respond to him, too. Leash walking - check! Next comes stopping the reactive behaviors. I'm so excited to see all that my big boy (1-yr-old, 75 lb chocolate lab) can do and what a gentleman he will become with LOSE THE LEASH TRAINING's tutelage. read more

Highly Recommended LOSE THE LEASH dog training. We received training for our first rescue German Shepherd & then a few years later returned for training with our newly rescued Dutch Shepherd. They are high energy and were not socialized. Both were 2 years old. We could not leave the confines of our yard and house without our dogs flipping out, barking, pulling, reacting to other dogs and just being out of control. We tried 2 other types of training, and they did not work. We saw the trainer Rob in action at a dog park with a group of dog & pet owners. We could not believe a trainer could show his expertise before other onlookers. That was very impressive! We approached him for help. Rob & Erin Owner & Operators of Lose the Leash dog training are amazing. They are highly recommended by our large veterinarian practice as well as word of mouth from other pet owners. The training is motivational & fun. Their training is so in tune with a dog's way of thinking it is remarkable. For us, the training worked 100%! The progress gives you such a good feeling. We now have happy, comfortable & self-confident Shepherds that we can take anywhere with us. Thank you so much! read more

We've had two in home training sessions and I'm amazed at my dog's progress. Our work is centered on fun and making sure the whole family is involved. I am looking forward to the group outings! read more

Rob is absolutely amazing! It is impressive to see how Rob works with the dog to get her to do what we want. I thought for sure I was going to be able to train our dog on my own just by watching YouTube videos and reading but after spending just an hour with Rob, I realized I likely wasn't going to be able to do it on my own. He is extremely friendly and very personable. We have a miniature Aussie that is now very well behaved and is a perfect fit for our family. read more

Rob is magic!! Step by step he's able to explain and help you train your pups. It's easier when you have an excellent guide.

Two separate rescues with behavioral issues. Don't know what would have happened without Rob's help. Highly recommend!

Lose the leash fixed my dog! Me and my girlfriend have a dog, as a puppy he was fun, energetic, and all that good stuff. We thought we could train him 100% on our own, but once he grew out of being a puppy, he started showing his ass and we realized we had zero control over him. We hit several points of "if we can't figure this out, we might need to get rid of him". Lose the leash was our last resort, both Erin and Rob were kind, understanding, and extremely encouraging! They showed us that our dog was not a monster and gave us the tools we needed to tame the beast! We still have a lot of training to do, because our dog is a NUT! But the difference between the first meeting and the end of the private classes is day and night. We got our dog under control and he didn't lose an ounce of his fun personality. Lose the leash truly changed our lives from total chaos, to fun, order, and nothing but possibilities. We got Rob as our trainer. He's cool, funny, and personable. Feels like an old friend coming to visit when he stops by. Nothing awkward about the training process. Get in touch and see for yourself. Your dog isn't hopeless, you just don't have the right tools. read more

Thanks to Rob, we have the best behaved dog in the neighborhood. Others are asking us for who trained our dog!

Rob has done a fantastic job of helping us train our two puppies. He has been able to get the dogs to learn new behaviors - and us too! Our dogs are learning to be well behaved and we look forward to outings at the park. read more

Two hour response time? NOT! I never received a single response. Zero, zip, nada. All I got was an answering machine runaround, encouraging me to send text messages that I apparently sent to no one. read more

We are so happy that we contacted Lose the Leash. Sally May has been amazing since our sessions with Rob. We took her hiking today and she was off the leash the majority of the time. Finally calmer when seeing/meeting other dogs. We are so happy to be able to trust her to listen to us during our walks and park time. Thank you Rob! read more

We just finished our 3rd and final private session. It is honestly the best investment we have ever made. Our 8 month old lab would run out the door, pull on a leash, jump on us in the pool and act so hyper and crazy around any human she saw. With our first consultation it was like they replaced our dog with a different one....the change was that quick. To say the difference is night and day is an understatement. We finally have a family dog that behaves so well, swims politely with our young kids and just an overall joy to be around. All bad manners have completely vanished. I highly recommend Erin and Rob. My 7 year old is so excited now to be able to walk our dog. read more

Rob is the best!!! He has helped us so much with our little guy!! He is a very honest business man. We enjoyed all our lessons. I highly recommend him! Finding someone who is a great dog trainer is hard but finding someone who is a great dog trainer and a great person is even harder and Rob is both!! read more

Call them immediately if you have dog behavior issues!! I've already recommended them to three of our friends. We had two dogs and adopted a third. Alley was sweet and loving for the first couple months and then she became a bit of a nightmare. And our other two started to act out. Since I believe that dogs are part of our family I wasn't willing to give her up so we called Rob. After two short lessons, we have our life back. The dogs sit in their place when the doorbell rings. They behave themselves while were eating and don't beg. We're able to walk them without being dragged down the street. Most importantly, my sweet loving Alley is back. I look forward to what else will learn in our third lesson as and as we continue to work with them. I'm so happy that they saved us and our dog family!! read more

Rob is just awesome: there's not much more to say- he understands the psychology of dogs, you won't regret hiring him!

We are so happy to get started with Lose the Leash Dog Training for our puppy, Sally May. Rob and team were quick to respond and meet with us. We already had our first session and looking forward to more! read more

Our 1st meeting is scheduled for 3/22/2022. Our minimal email/text communication was good...."so far so good".

Rob is a great trainer and an honest businessman. He helped get our puppy, who had some basic training, to listen attentively and respond to commands regardless of the situation. The training has also helped our pup be more confident and calm. He is now a breeze to take out to a patio or to a friend's house on the weekend and everyone comments how well behaved he is. It also provides us with confidence that despite there being crowds or uncertain people that he is interacting with. I would 100% recommend Rob as he has been great and is adept at diagnosing issues both for human and pup. Rob also, if you opt in, has weekly classes you can enroll in for the first year to make sure that you are sticking true to training and can continue to expose the dogs to training to make sure it sticks despite different locations and stimuli. read more

Huge thank you to lose the leash for helping me and my boyfriend get our lives back, we use to have to stress everyday about when our dogs were going to break out in another fight, after just a couple training sessions, they actually listen, we can let them around each other again without having to panic, we can go to a park and don't have to worry about them trying to run off crazy, now time to do some group lessons and I feel so much better about it, I would of never wanted to go to a dog park before the training started. We and our dogs are so much happier! Thank you Rob!!! read more

Rob and Lose the Leash transformed our dog! We found lose the leash to help teach our dog (and us) how to get our 2 year old goldendoodle to listen to us. She is overall a good dog, nice and friendly, knows her commands, but she was incredibly stubborn and would never listen and come when we called her. After years of frustration, we reached a breaking point when she ran across a street to greet another dog. Afraid she'd get hurt from not listening we were glad to find Rob! We did three private lessons and after that it's like a night and day difference! She now comes whenever she's called, even if there is another dog (or her favorite, a bird!). The huge demonstration of how great it worked was we took our dog to Kiwanis park to walk around. All her temptations were there, a lake to swim, birds, kids throwing balls, and even a cat, and she was able to walk by our side WITHOUT A LEASH the whole way around the lake! That would have never have happened without Lose The Leash. Even my dad, a dog owner of 30 years was blown away by how good she is! This was not only an investment in our current dog, but any future pup that becomes a part of our family. I highly recommend Rob and Lose the Leash. We can now take our dog public places without fear of embarrassment and we know she is safe. read more

I'll be honest, this is a premature review since I've only had my consultation. However, I immediately felt supported and relieved. We recently moved to AZ with two French Bulldogs. They have minor issues, but enough for me to want to help them so they can have a better life. Rob showed up and the dogs (who generally dislike men) were completely comfortable with his presence. I referred to him as the Dog Whisperer before meeting, so I wasn't entirely surprised with their behavior. Rob isn't a salesman, he's an educator with an extensive background in psychology and behavior. He gave me an abundance of information without trying to get me to sign up for anything. I probably could make a significant difference with just the consultation alone, but am so excited to be getting private and group lessons. What I really love is that the group lessons are offered over 12 months, not a strict 8 week cannot miss schedule. I cannot wait to see the difference he makes in our lives. I promise to edit the review as we progress. The consultation alone is worth it, don't miss out! read more

Erin and Rob are the best!! Being new dog parents we were pretty lost on getting our adopted rescue Texas Heeler trained out of some old bad habits. We are still in the middle of the program but it is like night and day with her now. They really know their stuff!! read more

Amazing! In such a short time, George completely saved us with training our puppy. Brixxie was a very wild puppy and was hard to manage. We have two small children at home and wanted to have her trained for more obedience. George worked magic. Brixxie now obeys our commands and is easy to walk on the leash, whilst still maintaining her goofy personality. She listens when we ask her to do various things and is gentle with the little ones! 10/10 would recommend George to train your dog, and we couldn't have asked for better results. read more

God bless Rob's soul. We could kiss that man! He has saved my sanity after getting a new golden retriever puppy that has been an extreme alpha female to my male golden. After one session with Rob there was already a huge difference in her behavior. Finally we have our house back after months of chaos!!! He is the Caesar Milan of Gilbert, AZ! We couldn't recommend him enough!! read more

We called Lose The Leash to help us train our wild, six month old Portuguese Water Dog. Rob came out and was super friendly and very knowledgeable. He wasn't rushed to leave, he answered so many questions for us and he had our pup chilled out (which doesn't usually happen!). We are beyond happy to have been referred to this company! We feel relieved that our puppy will now receive the proper training he needs. Thank for all your help, Rob! read more

My husband and I got our Great Dane puppy, Piper, at 8 weeks old and boy was she a handful. She was so energetic, she did not listen, she was a busy and a scatter brained puppy who was growing really fast. We reached out to Rob who came to our house, we had 3 private lessons while waiting for her to get all of her shots, then we started the group classes. She is almost 2 years old now and we still go to class, she loves it. This weekend I needed to go to Home Depot for something and I decided to bring Piper along. It dawned on me that I never would have brought our previous dogs along because they were not used to going in public and I was not confidant that I would have a good experience, but this trip went great. Another positive is that Piper loves going in the car, our previous dogs have not liked the car and I believe it is because she loves class so much and we are in the car a couple of times a week going to class. I would 100% recommend Lose the Leash. read more

Rob came to meet and consult with us a few days after rescuing our three year old terrier-mix dog, Ollie. Scheduling the visit was such a pleasure because he and his wife, Erin were prompt and so friendly in planning. Upon arrival, Rob lovingly interacted with Ollie and answered all of our questions. He was so generous with this time and gave us good tips. He concluded his visit honestly feeling that we didn't really need his services as Ollie's temperament was such that he thought some group lessons at a pet store would be fine to make the progress we hoped to make. Rob is a friendly and honest trainer/businessman and I would highly recommend him! read more

Can not thank Erin and Rob more! These are great people who truly love doggies! Our pup Jack was a handful for us but they came in and quickly and made all the difference! read more

Rob has been great with my dogs. I wish I had used his service earlier .Thank you so very much.

I wish I had kbown about Rob at Lose The Leash when our westie was a puppy. We were at our witts end with our 2 year old Gidget. Gidget would NEVER come when called. She would get loose on the golf course and run away (extremely dangerous). She would hide behind the bushes in our yard at night when we'd call her to come in. I had tried two different brands of E collars that I purchased at Petsmart and they were totally unreluable. I had seen the Pet IQ collar system on a friend's dog who was so well mannered. Rob came out and worked one on one with Gidget and myself. He thoroughly explained how the collar worked and we worked on several com9mands together including come. I'm happy to say that Gidget now comes when called! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rob or use him again should a need arise. read more

We choose lose the Leash a couple years ago. They did make the dog more manageable. We seemed to reach a point where the some of behavior we we tried to remedy could go no further. I worked with the dog inbetween lessons. No results. We stopped with one lesson left. After a two years the behavior did not get any better. We called explained we still needed help with specific behavior. They suggested group sessions. Our specific problem was still not being addressed. We stopped the group lessons after our dog was attacked by a participant who was walking their dog without a leash. I expected Lose the Leash to reach out. Nothing . Now my dog is afraid of dogs barking in the neighborhood. read more

Erin trained our golden Chester.... she did an amazing job, always on time, and always willing to answer all of our questions. We love this family business. read more

I started working with Rob after watching how well his dog listened to him at the dog park. I was blown away! I was in desperate need of help since I was completely unable to walk my dogs on a leash. It used to be a terrible experience, but after working just a few times with Rob things completely changed. Now not only do I love going for a run with my dogs, but they love it too and always look to me for their next command you Lose The Leash, you changed. Thank d my relationship with my dogs! read more

We had Rob come out to evaluate our German Shepard "King" and I was so impressed at how quickly Rob had King obeying simple commands. I was amazed by how knowledgable Rob was to our breed of pet...I liked that he was giving us so much info specialized for King vs most pet trainers give you basic general tips. I am looking forward to having King trained by Lose the Leash! I am hopeful for Kings future! Thank you again Lose the Leash and can't wait to start up! read more

So pleased with Rob and Erin. Our springer spaniel has made great strides after his boot camp and visit with Rob. Great team. read more

Just finished our lessons with Rob. This was money well spent!! We are not the original owners of a German Shepard who had some very bad habits and was very stubborn. As a result of Losetheleash he has turned the corner and is becoming a well behaved animal who listens and follows instructions. If your are struggling with a pet dog, call this guy. You won't be disappointed. read more

Rob and Lose the Leash Dog Training were exactly what our shy, but sometimes naughty, Irish Setter needed. Toby, who we rescued about 5 years ago, thought it a game and lots of fun to run from us whenever he had the opportunity. We were concerned that in his gaiety he'd be injured or get lost. After three lessons with Rob he heels without a leash, comes when he's called, and is an all-around good boy. Thank you, Rob! I highly recommend without hesitation this trainer and the Lose the Leash system. read more
