Paul has literally changed our lives! We were living in a constant state of anxiety with Wade. He…read morewas aggressive with other dogs and children, and if we had company over he was all over them to the point where we were never able to enjoy ourselves. After 8 weeks with Paul Wade is a totally different dog, and we are completely different dog parents. We are able to have friends and children at our house now and going on walks is actually enjoyable. We never have any anxiety concerning our dog because Paul has given us a solution and plan for pretty much anything we could run into. Paul has the perfect personality for what he does and makes you and your dog feel confident from the start. Believe me if you're on the fence, this is worth the money. Make sure if you invest the money you also invest the time. Do the homework and keep up with it. You and your dog will be so happy you did!

Where do I start? From the minute I talked to Paul on the phone I knew he was the one for us! A…read morecouple of days later he came to our home and met our Lily and Putter. He was able to observe their behavior and talk to us about different plans. Not only did he we feel confident in what he was talking about but we felt his compassion and devotion towards our babies. This is definitely not just a job for him but a passion. We opted to board and train both of them. Lily is our 3 year old. She WAS completely out of control. Lily had become quite aggressive and many times we couldn't even walk past her without her growling and jumping at us. I had been bitten by Lily a few times just putting her harness on her (drew blood once). Outside walking her had become more than a chore. She would jump on anyone that came near us and then started barking and showing aggression towards outsiders as well. Lily was in full control of our home and lives. I was at my end. Putter is our 2 year old. I was not planning on getting any training for Putter until my husband suggested it. Putter's issues WERE his walking me and showing aggression towards any other animals. Keep in mind Putter is only 10lbs. but had no fear towards a 100lb. dog. I had thought as long as I held on to him he would be fine. All in all both were out of control. On the day Paul came to pick them up all I could do was cry and almost backed out (Thank God I didn't). Paul was amazing with keeping us updated on their progress. Over the course of the 2 week training he would text us to let us know how they were and we received many pictures and videos. We always seemed to have questions (I have to admit now some were pretty silly). Paul without hesitation answered all of them. Lily and Putter are home and for the first time in a LONG time we are enjoying them. The first couple of days we were a little nervous trying to maintain what they had learned but again Paul never let us down. They tried to revert back to their old ways but Paul trained us as well! What we also really love is Paul is not done with us. Not only is this a lifetime commitment for us but him as well. Lily has showed no signs of aggression and has stopped jumping on everyone. Putter no longer walks me and shows no aggression towards other animals. We are all so much calmer and happier now. They sit, stay, heel, place whenever asked. They are receiving positive attention now and are loving it. I can't thank Orlando Dog Wizard enough for helping us make our home happy again.

Their entire team has provided the best possible experience we could ever expect from a dog training service. Both the in-home one-on-one trainings and the group trainings have been such a blessing to our miniature dachshund puppies. The improvement they have shown has been unbelievable and we owe it all to the Wagging Willow team. We want to give an extra special shoutout to Susan for the constant tips and advice about food, potty training, and literally anything else we need. She puts in so much extra time and effort. She has truly gone above and beyond our expectations for a dog trainer. I can't imagine a better experience than we've had with Susan. If you have a dog, you need training with Wagging Willow. I recommend them to any dog owner, novice (like us) or experienced. Tell them Hazel and Honey sent you. :)

I cannot say enough great things about Wagging Willow and Susan! Have you ever met someone and felt…read morethat they were doing what they were born to do? That's Susan. Her training program is fun, informative, and effective. I first came to Susan after a recommendation from a close friend. My dog Chloe needed some help learning her proper manners. After the very first class I knew we were in good hands. Susan's training is based on positive reinforcement. Chloe passed through the first and second courses with flying colors. She is now in her third course and is on track to graduate with the Canine Good Citizen certification. We recently adopted another dog that needs training and I knew exactly where to go! Ruby has learned so much after only two classes! If you have a puppy or a dog that needs training I highly recommend Wagging Willow. You will have fun with your pupper, learn a lot, and form a deeper bond with your furry family member.

I met Tai and Lexi at a decoy seminar In April of this year, Tai was the Instructor. Tai is…read moreknowledgeable, precise, and was able to break down the science when it comes to decoying a dog. Since The decoy seminar, I have worked very closely with Tai and Lexi when it comes to obedience and bite work with dogs. Throughout the months, I got to see in person and through their social media pages that they are meant for this profession. They are able to work with all breeds and size of the dog does not matter. I have seen clients walk out the front door with smiles on their faces with their dogs are also really well behaved because of the work that Lexi, Tai, and also their trainer Max does daily. A lot of people always talk about wanting to have more obedient dogs. This is the place to go.

I recently used their services to board my two dogs. They had previously been boarded at another…read morefacility but they were fully booked and Woof Tang, while quite a drive, was highly rated and had the cameras for their rooms that we love to have. First of all the price is great in my opinion. Their facility has plenty of play space and the livery room we got was large. We always want, maybe even need, to be able to check in on them. While on past stays we would look and find them pacing and awooing all night. Something about this place made them zen. They looked out the windows, climbed and snuggled in their bed. We signed up for both of them to get a bath before pick up but due to some error with their system only our little guy got his, which was sad because if we had to pick we would have picked her. For our two dogs it was $115 a day for the luxury suite. When we arrived to pick them up we expected our Dachshund to scream like he does when we come home and our Auggie to go crazy and we were so disappointed when they came up to us like okay cool, summer camp is over? Not one cry or bark, no jumping or crazy tail wags. Next time we hope to board them for training. Our dogs would have required 3 weeks and that just didn't work for us right now.

The pool was clean and warm a very comfortable experience for my pool shy puppy. She was even able to be given a bath after her swim so I didn't have to take her home wet. Will certainly come again.

We are in love with Rocky's Retreat!…read more We dropped off our girl Margot for the week while we went on a cruise. We were bit worried about being able to have access to updates but the team was able to send via email so we were never out of the loop! This was our first time boarding Margot and we were concerned about how anxious she might get. She was adopted from a hoarding situation and is still getting used to the world. I shouldn't have even bothered to worry because the team went above and beyond to work at her pace and make sure she felt comfortable. We received daily updates of how she was doing and even saw her make new friends. When we picked her up she didn't even seem like she wanted to go--in fact when we took her outside later and home she tried to run back to the car (we think she's ready for another week of puppy camp as we call it). Another thing we love about Rocky's is they are inclusive of dogs with additional needs. It's hard to find places that truly care for your pets like you do, and safe to say we lucked out with this one. Can't wait for the next time!

I am so happy I decided to trust the team over at The Calm K9. I have taken a few weeks to write…read morethis review because I almost felt like what I was experiencing was too good to be true. I have a rescued 5/6 year old Lab/Golden mix named Hudson who has always given me issues with walks. Hudson was extremely reactive and it was nearly impossible and quite embaraasing to take him with in 20 feet of another dog because of the lunging, jumping and barking. He is a sweet boy but for some reason could not control himself when we saw another dog. After getting a new job and learning that I would be moving to downtown Seattle, I knew that I had to get Hudson some help to make sure we had an easy transition to one of the most dog friendly cities in the country. I did my research and called around to several trainers but my conversation with Craig gave me a sense of ease and confidence that there was hope for Hudson. I chose a 3 week program and Meredith kept me updated about once every 3-5 days with check ins and progress update videos. On July 13th, the day we picked up Hudson we took about 1.5 hours to go over all that he has learned, how to make sure we keep him on track and how to apply what he has learned into his new life in Seattle. I feel like in some ways I have a whole new start with Hudson, I have been able to take him on LONG walks with no worries of who we might see, he has gone to breweries and has minimal issues when we have to share the elevator with another dog. There are still times when Hudson gets over excited and will have a moment but I have the tools to calm him down and move on. At home he has become so much better- while I am cooking, he automatically places himself on his bed giving me the freedom to cook in peace without him begging for food every second. At his core he is still the happiest sweetest dog and his playful spirit is still there, my life and life has just changed for the better and I could not be more thankful for the team at The Calm K9 for all they have done!

We had a lot of fun learning from Lindsay on how to best train our puppy. Our puppy is beautiful,…read morebut she definitely is a sassy one, and Lindsay helped us teach her how to sit, lay down, stay, and a few other basic commands. We also were able to successfully potty train her after she kept using our couch as a toilet bowl (thank goodness that's over!). Overall it was a great, helpful group of classes.

Lindsay is an amazing trainer. I originally met her when I trained my newly adopted puppy (this was…read moretwo years ago) at the beginner's training course. I proceeded to take the intermediate and advanced courses with her as well. She was so easy to work with, so kind and helpful. She later went on to form Down Home Dog Training. I worked with her a few months ago as I enrolled my dog in a week long boot camp training. I had gotten lazy with his training and let him slip into a few behavioral problems. I emailed Lindsay and explain my problems and she came up with reasonable solutions. When my dog, Hermes, came back after the week, I continued to work with the commands he had been taught. He had completely changed his ways and it was great. I now felt more confident about taking him out in public and to restaurants. He also became more manageable on walks. Lindsay continued to text me weeks after the training to make sure there were no problems. And if there were problems, we met up and had private training sessions to make sure I kept everything in control. She is a great trainer, I definitely recommend.

Prior to meeting Danielle, we had utilized the services of another trainer in the Orlando area who spent more time Googling on his phone for answers to our questions than he did in actual training. With this unfortunate (and expensive) experience fresh in our minds, we did not have high expectations as we contacted a new trainer. We could not have been more mistaken. Danielle, and her training techniques, proved to be a breath of fresh air. After the first training session we experienced progress in training, plus we had been given the tools to continue what our doggie had been taught. Session after session, our girls have made great strides under Danielle's tutelage, and we were given necessary instruction on how to continue/compliment the learning process. We could not be more pleased with Sunny Days Dog Training, and wholeheartedly endorse Danielle and her company for any form of canine obedience training/instruction. We have no connection, personal or otherwise, with Sunny Days Training nor have we been offered or given an incentive for this recommendation.

I had never had a large breed dog before, so we knew we needed to hire someone to professionally train him or else he would grow up to be a nightmare and would end up tearing apart my house. Roy took many calls from both my husband and I because we had a lot of questions, and even took the time to give us crate training advice because our pup wasn't old enough to enter his facility yet. They usually take pups at the 4 month mark, but he took ours a bit earlier because I work from home and this dog was stressing me the hell out. My dog came back a changed boy. He listens to me now, not just my husband. They offer LIFETIME support. If your pup is ever giving you issues, they will offer advice over the phone, do a house visit, and I believe possibly take the pup back for a few days if needed. If we ever get another dog in the future, Roy and his fiance Stacey will DEFINITELY be the ones to train them. We even took the pup to our friend's house the night we got him back, and have already referred 2 other people to them.
