Our dog Moose did the 14 day Board & Train with Sam and we are so happy with the results. We wanted…read morethe focus of her training to be on e-collar obedience and Sam did an excellent job helping her and us learn. We can now take Moose off leash comfortably knowing she will come when called, sit and stay even in busy environments. I feel like we are happier humans and she is a happier dog thanks to Sam's help. The training style used was also based on rewarding Moose with play rather than food or negative reinforcement, which I really appreciate and didn't know much about before. We couldn't be more pleased with the results. Highly recommend Dog Wizard and Sam!

Probably my highest review ever for a service I haven't used yet. hear me out…read more I just rescued a Rat Terrier puppy called Raffi from Texas, who showed signs of abuse and trauma upon arrival. I've parented/known many rescues in the past and never seen anything like the fear she exhibited. fully freaked out, I shot a message to Atlanta Dog Wizard with an SOS to help. Kat quickly got in touch and we had about a 30-min call, which provided me with INVALUABLE insight into my urgent situation. That information she gave me--keep in mind, I had paid no money for her advice or training to this point--gave me some practices I could use, right away, to make Raffi feel more comfortable. I still might officially use Atlanta Dog Wizard in the future, if Kat is any indication how the company does things. She has a passion for rescues and turning around challenging situations and making dogs (and humans) shine. Cannot recommend highly enough.

The most amazing dog trainer I have ever seen! Gary Adams has a communication skill with dogs that…read moreis truly nothing short of a miracle! I have been in dog rescue for 40 years and have never seen the skill he has with dogs in anyone else. He transformed an aggressive dog, that was going to be euthanized due to human aggression, in front of a group of us. Gary should be on television as the true dog whisperer. I am a volunteer at DeKalb Animal Control/Lifeline and have a lot of experience with many dogs and dog trainers. To watch Gary with this previously unadoptable aggressive dog was like watching a true miracle in person!

I highly recommend Good Dog Academy to all my family and friends.

This is long, but Tenasity SAVED my dog's life!!! Three trainers told me to put Hollywood down…read more Tenasity changed our lives and saved my boy. I adopted a 3-year-old Dobbie / Rottie mix from a rescue group in NC. They said he was great with people, dogs, and kids. We drove from GA to NC to pick him up. He had scars on his body and was so still. He never barked or wagged his tail... just seemed so sad. The physicality was poorly kept and in horrible conditions. After seeing him, I was not about to leave him there. My husband drove us back while I lay in the back of our SUV with Hollywood. As soon as we got him home, I took him for a walk. Someone passing by said beautiful dog and he lunged at them to bite them. I was so scared I had to call my husband to pick us up. Then later that night he also tried to bite my husband. I called the rescue group back and they said to put him down. That they would not assist in any way. I then enrolled him into good citizens K9-Coach. He was kicked out. Next was Zen... which is for aggressive dogs. Yet he got kicked out of that too for going after the trainer, I then took him to a 3rd trainer. She noticed that he was guarding me. She asked how long have we had him; which was a little less than 2 weeks at this time. Yet, just in that short amount of time, he became very very protective over me. We also noticed each time he hear a kid cry or scream on the TV that he would go after the TV. At this point, I had no idea of what type of past he had but he was definitely abused. I came to the realization that he would never have a normal dog life. That he would never be able to be around other people or dog parks. Even at vet visits Hollywod had to wear a mussel and then the vet would give him a sedative shot while in the lobby just to calm him down enough he could check him out. My vet gave me Tenasity's info. I called and set up an apt. Calvin came out to meet Hollywood. Hollywood had to be created because he would not stop going after Calvin. Calvin sat next to his creat for 45 min until he calmed down. then we took him out of the create to start working. All of the previous trainers said to put him down. After our work with Calvin, I started to see little differences in his personality. If my husband tried to hug me; Hollywood would growl but not go after him. Baby Steps Hollywood started trusting us more and more. We kept working with Calvin weekly. We did everything he asked us to do with him. 8 months later ... yes 8 months... working with Hollywood every day and training with Calvin. Hollywood, was able to be in public. We did walk together, He even got to go to the dog park with my other dogs. Hollywood turned into such a Diva. He did not like to get dirty Or be in the Rain. But he finally got to make that choice. We were even able to take him over to White water creek which is a water dog park with people, kids and their dogs all running free. All I can say is if you love your dog and you are willing to put in the work. Tenasity can help you have a loving peaceful home. The funny thing is Hollywood became the welcome committee at the dog park. He only wanted to be around people vs playing with the other dogs. So he would go from person to person just to be loved and give love back. He was with me for 8 precious years before he passed away. But the amazing thing is; because of Tenasity those 8 years were great for him too! I can't thank you enough for helping me bring out his best and loving side! I hope that if anyone has a dog that seems to be too much; please give Tenasity a try and don't give up on your pet!

Before my husband and I got married, our dogs couldn't stand each other. The doggy daycare we take…read morethem to wouldn't dare let them stay in rooms near each other, much less play together. We had Charles work with them while we were on our honeymoon and now they're inseparable. All that to say, Charles is a miracle worker. His rates are fair and the knowledge he has is vast. I will say, be prepared, because he's going to be very straight forward and some may be a little sensitive to his approach, (in short, it's not the dog, it's you, and he's going to tell you that) so try not to get your feelings hurt.

Took their food and bowls but was told they provided bowls, so they gave me back my personal bowls. Wen I returned to picked them up and brought them home, both dogs started coughing. By the next day, their symptoms had become worse. I took them to the veterinarian, where they were diagnosed with Kennel Cough. I contacted Frogs to Dogs to inform them of the situation and was told someone would get back to me. Unfortunately, I have not received a phone call, text, or email addressing my concerns. I understand that kennel cough can sometimes occur even in vaccinated dogs and in boarding environments, but I am disappointed by the lack of communication and follow-up after reporting what happened. I expected better customer service and at least a response to discuss my concerns. P.Johnson[ Atlanta G.A]

If I could give ZERO I would...BEWARE! Please take your dog…read moreanywhere but here. We signed our puppy up for a 2 week board and train hopeful to get her to walk on a leash better. She had a lot of energy and wanted to play with everyone. She was a regular at doggy daycare and never had any issues or reactivity. Everyone loved her. We worked on basic commands at home, but leash pulling and distractions were an issue. After reading reviews and the 100% guarantee spiel, we dropped our girl off with high hopes. I emailed to check in on Zura, we were told we would get updates daily, and I do not feel the trainer was very professional. Several times he sounded too busy, or was out doing other things. 2 long weeks later, we picked up our pup and I was shocked. She was extremely underweight and came home acting off. She seemed nervous and unsettled. The trainer sent snippets of videos everyday and I asked what our dog was doing the rest of the time, I never got a response. My husband reached out to the trainer and the owner and they gave this speech about her adjusting and being consistent. The day after she came home, my husband took her on walk and she freaked out. She was screaming and was super anxious. Naturally we contacted the owner and at first she was extremely condensing and unprofessional. She yelled at me and implied I didn't know what I was talking about. I have actively rescued and rehabilitated dogs for the past 20 years. This is the first time I had ever outsourced training due to health issues. After a heated conversation she decided that "She wasn't happy with our dogs board and train and she would like to take her for a week". JoAnne had our dog for 4 days. Our dog came home with welts on her neck (both sides) from the shock collar and a scab on her back leg. We took her to the vet and she stated that it looked like our pet had been mistreated. Our dog seemed very high strung and agitated. I would take the ecollar off at night or when she was in her kennel, and she was very reluctant and skittish when I tried to put it back on. The trainer told my husband if our dog wasn't listening to turn up the number on the ecollar. It didn't work, it just made our dog panic. When we first started training, we asked about the ecollar and how high it got. They said it was like a tens unit, and didn't hurt them. That is not true. They turn it up very high and told us to do the same. Our dog left to the board and train a goofy puppy and came back extremely fearful and anxious. Our dog had been crate trained since she was 10 weeks old. After her board and train, she started screaming in the crate, and digging at her bed. She also had several accidents in the crate, she had never displayed that behavior before. My heart was broken for our girl. I reached out to a K9 Behavioral Specialist and after assessing our dog, they agreed that our dog had been mistreated. She associated the ecollar with punishments' rather than positive reinforcement. This place does not care about the wellbeing of your dog, they care about money. It is a franchise, and perhaps they have some locations and trainers who actually know what they are doing, but not here. After everything, there was zero chance we were taking our dog back to them and expressed this to Bryan and JoAnne, she stated "your dog will never be off leash, your are going to have to accept that." I challenged the 100% guarantee and requested a refund. We never heard from them again. The guarantee is not real. They never apologized or showed any concern or empathy for our dog. I have several videos that they provided while she was at training that are uncomfortable to watch. They try to conceal the shocker in their hand while filming, but if you pay close attention, you could tell our dog was constantly being shocked to comply. Please take your pet elsewhere. We entrusted our girl to their care and it is the biggest mistake I have ever made. It changed her completely. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE YOUR ANIMAL HERE! Video of Zura after picking her up. More to come https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoUcih4dzCc ***I have attached the text of the date we picked our dog up from the second training session (4 days) and the vet afterwards.
