It turns out First Friends is a little far from me so I wasn't able to work directly with Jean,…read morehowever, in my first week of having my new puppy Jean helped me immensely. I was so overwhelmed and just needed some guidance from a trusted and professional source. Jean called me back and while we weren't able to work in home together she helped me identify ways to start some training and find another training organization who was in my local area that she felt comfortable with me engaging with. I went from being a complete basket case to feeling more confident and supported in just 1 phone call. Thank you, Jean!

Prior to working with Jean, life with Sadie was difficult. After returning from a walk, Sadie was…read morehaving accidents all over the house. As an adult dog, she pulled on the leash, barked at everyone, jumped on people and knocked everything out of my hands. Within a few weeks, Sadie is so well behaved. The top thing is to read Sadie's body language. I know what to look for when Sadie is getting anxious and Jean taught me how to deescalate the situation before bad behavior begins. Another thing I learned is how train Sadie while having fun. I enjoyed our lessons very much. The training program exceeded my expectations. Sadie is potty trained, respects other people and we can finally have an enjoyable walk together.

Queen Tut (my 9yo tabby) and I find this location adequately stocked and staffed. We decided to do…read morean online order and pick up as we had some errands in the area. The estimated wait for pickup was two hours but our items were packed and ready in less than 1. We were notified by email that our order was ready and given a link to let the store know when we arrived. Too late for curbside pickup (ends at 7p) we headed inside. Greeted as soon as we walked in, we let the cashier know we were picking up an order and gave our last name. The cashier went to a well organized shelf, found our order and thanked us. Took us about 3 minutes tops to collect our order and be on our way. Puuurrrfection! Check the app for Yappy Hour deals.

Matt is an amazing trainer! I would definitely recommend him as a trainer. My boyfriend and I have…read morea Siberian Husky who had major behavioral problems. He would not listen at all. He was constantly eating the furniture, jumping on everyone and everything, he didn't listen when it was time to come inside and I would eventually have to carry him in the house, and he would cry and scream when it was time to put him in the crate if we were leaving or going to bed. We didn't know what to do but after looking for trainers, we came across Matt's website. After meeting with him and having him go over a few training techniques with our puppy, we knew he would be a big help. When we got the puppy back, we could see a huge change in his behavior. When Matt started his training, our puppy was 6 months old. He is now 13 months and is still just as great as when we got him back. He listens on the first command, there's no longer a struggle to come inside or go in his crate, and now he understand were the boss.

We have been through 3 trainers before we met Leroy and I have never had such a successful training lesson especially on the first day! After losing our home in hurricane sandy and our 3rd move our female dog started to become very aggressive and her anxiety was worse than ever. She started attacking our other dog and had just become out of control. After the last attack I thought we were going to have to send her away because we just didnt know what to do anymore. I reached out and Leroy answered our message. On the first day of training our dog was not only under complete control, but we understand her, what she needed and what she was trying to tell us. He gave us a lesson on structure and for us to truly understand the mind and body language of a dog. His prices are great and he's no crook. He's genuine and kind and we really enjoyed watching him bond with our dog. We are truly blessed to have found Leroy from allfordogs!

My husband reached out to Paul when our new golden puppy was becoming a tyrant. Paul started…read moretraining literally as soon as he walked on our porch and our puppy excitedly piddled all over Paul's boot (which he handled with great humor). He handles the dog with authority, but great kindness. He doesn't use a treat reward system, it's al based on verbal commands and encouragement. Odin responded right from the start. When he showed the stubborn side we mentioned, Paul gave us several easy techniques we were all comfortable using. After our first session, he called mid week to see how things were going and to offer a few new techniques. It only took two sessions to get us back on track. He's worth every penny!

I called Mike for our dog Bruno, who has SEVERE separation anxiety (he is the famous ROOF DOG)…read more Our initial session with Mike occurred in August and lasted over 3 hrs. Mike was professional, knowledgeable, fun to work with and loved by my whole family (pups included!). His training techniques are easy to learn and effective. We saw a HUGE improvement in our dogs' behavior immediately. What earns Mike a 5+ STAR review from me is his responsiveness. It's been over 90 days since our first session and Mike is as accessible today as he was the day of our first session. Every call and text is responded to promptly, even when Mike has been out of town. Separation anxiety is not an easy fix. It's a huge relief knowing that we have Mike available when needed. Mike is a committed, compassionate, honest, and gifted dog trainer with a big heart. I highly recommend him.

She wanted to me to walk into community dumpster which I wasn't sure I could use. After being yelled at I took me and my dog back home after driving thirty minutes to get there. I'm getting a refund this isn't how you treat anyone who is doing business with you. I wonder how they treat the dogs let alone their owners.

Once we solve the cat / dog issues in the house, there will be peace again. Thank you Felix.

Okay so. Taking Nala to her new trainer/sitter for my trip was ABSOLUTE HELL…read more With her history, I expected a bit of a challenge but nothing like what happened. Please keep in mind we've been through 2 trainers that wanted absolutely nothing to do with her. Also recommended euthanasia. Also, no one would board her. No one. I had to put on my horse boots so I could get a better grip on the ground because she was pulling so hard to either go after him, or me pulling he towards the house and let me tell you- Mastiffs are strong. And I work with horses. Lol. She HATED her new trainer. Barked aggressively at him and threatened him. Felix Rosado was un-phased and calm. It took a lot of logistics and strength to get her into his house and in a crate (I had to do it because she was definitely going to bite him with me around) Felix again, unphased. Almost an hour long drop off. A lot of drama. I admit, I cried in the car afterwards. Then I was thinking....WTF. How is he going to handle her or get near her?! She wanted to eat him. Felix's references put my mind at ease and I did my best not to think about it. This is my baby. I stress. Nope. For once, I felt comfortable. I found someone with the balls to work with her. I respect the shit out of anyone willing to risk an attack to wrk with a misunderstood, aggressive dog. He's obviously very passionate about what he does. That in itself speaks volumes. Not only did Felix keep in touch with me throughout her stay with updates (I call them "PupDates"), he sent me a video of him scratching her, giving massages that same night Nala was putty in his hands. I picked her up today, she didn't give a shit about me. Loved him. LMAO. I came home from my trip with a very happy dog that made a new friend/trainer. I look forward to working more with them both because they're a great couple. I'm so happy and relieved. Thank you Felix Rosado!
