Dog Training Club of Chester County - My dog after his AKC STAR puppy evaluation

Dog Training Club of Chester County

We have taken many classes with several different instructors and have nothing but good things to…read moresay. We have done everything from basic obedience classes up to more specialized dog sport and focus classes. Overall I have been very pleased.

Our dog is an AKC certified cane corso. We took a full…read moreclass, following the trainers instructions and we could see our dogs behavior deteriorating from class to class. We took the 6 class behavior training 1 for puppies ( our dog was 5 months old when we started) and when we finished we got an email asking us to repeat the class. Two classes after we got another email asking us not to come back. They also suggested that there was something wrong psychologically with our dog and asked us to look into medicating him. At that time we were devastated with the news and we were really concerned with the situation we were in. We thought our dog was a lost cause and felt hopeless. That was a few months ago, we since started training with a new trainer and our dog is amazing. We made more progress in two classes with a trainer that had experience with the breed than in all the months we had at the DTCCC. We had to work really hard to get him to "un learn" the bad habits he had picked up at the Dog Training Center of Chester county. We never had to medicate him, and there's nothing wrong with our dog. Before signing up with them I had e-mailed them asking if they had any experience with the breed and they said that they had. I sincerely doubt that after seeing the way they dealt with my dog. There are some other reviews that say that they're not good trainers for working breeds and I agree with that. If you have sociable breeds that are easy to train I'm sure that the DTCCC will do a fine job, but if you have a working breed that needs a strong hand and firm leadership you'll do better looking for it somewhere else. With all of that said I want to make a note that our trainer, Scott, was amazing. He was extremely helpful and never made us feel un-welcomed. We could tell that he was making an honest effort to train our dog within the limitations of the class. After we got kicked out he continued to reach out to us and offered help. We never got a refund for the classes that we didn't take after they kicked us out.

He's knowledgeable, skilled at what he does, & overall, you can tell his calling is to keep dogs in loving homes with owners who just need the tools plus support to train & love on their pet babies. If our Ketsia (Sisi) didn't love us so much, I think she'd hop on over to Alex's place :) She's strong-willed & protective but sooo loving & sweet. We're making great progress! Thank you, Alex.

I recently adopted a 9-month old dog and wanted to jump into training right away. I retained…read moresomeone who lived very close to me and had great reviews, but after a few sessions I realized our schedules were not compatible; I was not getting consistency and reliability from her. It's important for me to make progress with my dog, so I Googled alternate options and stumbled upon Alex's page. I called him on a Friday and he picked up the phone right away. We spoke for a while about my needs and he came out the following Tuesday for what was supposed to be a 2-hour visit. I fell in love with him immediately, he is not only so personable and likable on his own, but he really takes the time to LISTEN to what you need and work on those things right away. I had mentioned my priorities to my previous trainer, but I found that she was teaching my dog commands that didn't actually accomplish what I was after. In our first meeting, Alex worked on SO MANY of my priorities. He got my dog to go into her crate on command, taught her to "stay," showed me how to "walk with" my dog better on her leash, and (using a 30' leash outdoors) started working on recall with her. We were so immersed in what was going on that Alex started to go a little bit over our time, but he didn't want to stop because we were making such great progress. I told him if he wanted to give me a third hour right then and there that I was prepared to pay for it, and he did!! I learned a lot of things from Alex myself during our first meeting, like how to employ the use of "deltas" (which my old trainer never once mentioned) and how non-verbal cues are arguably more important than verbal ones. Again, my old trainer actually discouraged me from using hand motions, but once incorporating them into my routine I noticed that my dog was much more compliant than she had been. Another positive difference between my old trainer and Alex is he really takes the time to teach you why he's doing what he's doing, and encourages you to participate. My old trainer just taught my dog a command and had me replicate/practice when she left. Alex really makes you feel like you are a part of the teaching process. After our private session Alex recommended some "Small Group Therapy" for my pup. He came at noon on a Thursday to pick up my dog and she proceeded to go on a several-hour outing with his two chihuahuas and a dog he was fostering. The entire time he was out with her he was recording and sharing videos on an iCloud album. It was INCREDIBLE to not only see everything that was happening, but to hear him narrate why he was doing the things he was doing. I could not get enough of his videos and felt like I was there during the session. On top of Alex's excellent communication, punctuality, reliability, friendliness, competency, and effectiveness, his rates are OUTRAGEOUS in the BEST way! I truly believe he is under-charging for his services. I can get three hours with Alex for less than I paid for one hour with my prior trainer, and I feel much better about the work that is done during that timeframe. I adore Alex, and most importantly, what he is doing works. He really gets into the mind of your dog, and has such a wonderful way of connecting with them and their needs. I am elated to keep our work going - my pup has lots more Small Group Therapy outings in her future and it's wonderful that I have the option to use him one-on-one to teach her even more commands in the house. One day I hope to move on from essential commands to more fun ones, like "roll over" or "go get X toy."

I'm writing this after my mom came to visit, and my 8-year-old rescue pittbull sniffed her then…read morecalmly walked away. He's now passed out on the sofa. I can't say how miraculous this is. Prior to working with Daniel, my dog, Eugene, would bark, spin, mouth, run, and turn into a high-energy dog whenever someone entered my space, then stay high-energy after they left. It made me nervous having guests over. I put off dog training because I thought I could Google and read my way to a solution, we had a decent foundation in obedience on our own, and, frankly, Eugene and I had been stuck in our ways for some five years together. I wasn't sold on dog training. How wrong I was! Daniel's expertise went above and beyond anything I could've figured out myself. He helped me apply the obedience work we'd already done to create stronger boundaries and a better relationship. He noticed a few quirks in Eugene that meant generic dog advice just wasn't enough. Because Daniel has read so extensively in addition to his real-life experience, he could call out advice I'd picked up that wasn't serving us or help put it in context. Daniel is also dedicated to making the training process efficient -- he's not trying to sell you sessions you don't need -- and he makes himself available between sessions, which was a godsend as we were working through new behaviors. The result is a dog (and an owner) who is more confident and less anxious. Eugene has become a pleasure to be around, and I am so grateful for this. Thanks, Daniel!

Daniel immediately stood out when we were looking for a trainer for his credentials and after a short phone call we already felt confident he was the correct choice. At the initial assessment he observed us and Asher before sitting down & creating a gameplan for training. His training proved priceless, after a week we began to notice a difference & now a month later it is like he is a new dog. An additional benefit is that Daniel made it clear that we could text him any time with questions. We can't thank Daniel enough for how he's helped us and can't recommend him enough to any other dog parents looking for assistance. Thank you Daniel!
