What really stood out was how she took the time to explain the specific traits and characteristics of our dog's breed and personality. That insight alone helped us understand our dog on a completely different level. Her training techniques were clear, effective, and easy to apply at home even though we only have few sessions. Instead of just telling us what to do, she explained why certain methods work, which made a huge difference in how consistent and confident we felt during training. You can tell she genuinely cares--not just about training the dog, but about making sure the owners are set up for long-term success. The guidance she provided has made everyday interactions with our dog so much smoother. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and effective dog trainer. Thank you Dory! Will see you soon.

We adopted a six year old beagle mix from a rescue and my wife informed me that we both needed to…read moreget trained. He would bark at EVERYTHING, and when walking, he would pull incessantly. We found Dory through recommendations by friends and started working with her with private lessons. For us, this was the best way to begin. Dory did a GREAT job training Stitch and me on how to be a better dog and dog person. After we completed our private lessons, she invited us to observe one of her group classes. After his initial vocalizations, I applied the techniques Dory taught me to get him to settle down. In no time he was quietly sitting and watching, and NOT barking. Near the end of her class, she invited me to walk Stitch around the group and NOTHING! We were ALL amazed! I'm looking forward to continue OUR training with Dory by taking her group classes. If you want to improve your (and your dog's) training, you won't go wrong by going with Dory.

I have a small child in my house and decided that if we were to keep the dog we had to get a dog trainer in the home to correct some of his behaviors. My husband searched around on Craigslist and decided on Travis. When Travis arrived to our home he was very professional and prepared to immediately begin working. Within the first few minutes of Travis interacting with our dog we noticed a change in behavior. Clearly we were not interacting with him properly which is part of the problem. After the first lesson my dog was coming on command to his name and learning self control. After our second lesson he was learning not to bother my small child as he played nearby. We have 4 more lessons in our package but as of now we are definitely satisfied with the progress the dog is making.

Your dog is NOT safe here and DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE ALONE WITH YOUR DOG! My dog was attacked by…read moreanother dog during a 4 week board and train twice in the same day here on 06/21/21. They had a fight in the morning and a second one in the evening. The dogs were left unattended, together during day play. The "handlers" apparently blew the airhorns to get the other dog to stop attacking my dog, that didn't work so then ran to get Adam. What if he wasn't there? My dog would probably not be here today. My dog and the other dog were put back together later the same day, which does not make any sense to anyone with a functioning brain. I didn't know the extent of my dogs injuries due to the attack. Adam tried to negotiate with me to pay the vet bill from his vet even before me being able to see my dog. MY DOG GOT ATTACKED DUE TO YOUR NEGLIGENCE. He offered to give me a free week if I paid $500-600 for the vet bill. Just goes to show you how absolutely money hungry he is and what he's willing to put at risk ( YOUR DOG). I took my dog to our regular vet that Thursday and he had to have 2 drains surgically put into his leg to let it drain and keep swelling down. Not once did Adam apologize for what happened. Not once did he express any compassion or sympathy. That's when I realized it's all just money for him. You and your dog are just another dollar sign to him. This is just a warning for those of you thinking of coming here. He hires people off the street who have 0 dog training or experience with handling dogs to work for him. He is an extremely rough handler, i've watched him myself. The things that are done to your dog when no one is watching makes my blood boil. Please think twice about what may happen to your pup while in their care. My dog paid the price, don't let yours also. We've had a long 3 years of recovery for my dog to be able to trust other people and dogs again. He will never be the dog that he was before because of Adam and Obedient Paws. Please, if you love your dog, don't walk, RUN far away from this place and this man. You will be doing your dog the greatest service.

He would bark, destroy things and literally make himself sick. I was on the brink of having to re-home him. Booker went to the 4-week board and train. Heather sent twice weekly updates on Bookers progress with videos (which helped with my separation anxiety ;). When he came home I was incredibly pleased and honestly a little surprised, knowing him from before, at how well he did. Now, when I leave, he goes in his crate, settles down, and doesn't bark (I have a video to watch and listen to him). He is a completely different dog. Heather has come back for follow- up visits (included with training) to work on leash walking and his reactivity to other dogs. In less than an hour, Heather showed Booker and me how to have an enjoyable walk together. I cannot recommend Duality K9 enough.

No. Go anywhere else, don't waste your time or money here. Upon leaving this review, I was also contacted by Meghan who, once again, made empty promises of a refund only to later be blocked from her page on the day of agreed meeting. After reading the positive reviews, we were so excited to hire Meghan to train our new puppy. After discussing our goals, availability, and making plans to move forward, we paid and anxiously awaited her arrival the following Sunday. On Saturday evening she asked if we were comfortable with the anticipated windy Sunday or if we wanted to reschedule. We were not worried about the wind as we would be indoors for the introduction / first session. Unfortunately, Meghan never replied to the conversation to confirm or deny the appointment. We waited for her arrival but she never showed. After the appointment time had passed, we reached out to her in hopes of setting another appointment in upcoming week. She was very short with the conversation left us wondering what to expect as she stopped replying until we reached out AGAIN for confirmation. The next appointment scheduled for the next day at 1:30pm. At 12:36, Meghan texted and said she would be late. She asked again if we wanted to reschedule, we said we wanted to continue with the appointment and would work around other plans due to her late arrival. Once Meghan finally arrived, she showed potential as she worked with our puppy and educated us on training techniques, however, she also seemed very distracted in her cell phone. At the end of the appointment we talked about the process of filing papers to provide our dog with the type of training we purchased, she talked about her puppy classes and invited us to join, and she offered to email material for training. We know life can be unpredictable and decided to disregarded her previous unprofessionalism and happily scheduled our next visit. The day of our scheduled appointment came and Meghan didn't show. We reached out to ask if she was still coming and she attempted to reschedule. The availability we agreed on upon hiring Meghan was very clear due to work and our child's health conditions that required many doctor appointments. We expressed our willingness to wait if she needed to come later than scheduled as we weren't available again that week. Meghan didn't show up, again. By this point we were three weeks in and had only one completed session that Meghan suggested to reschedule and arrived late. The lack of effective communication, accountability, and effort took its toll as our puppy was growing bigger (we emphasized the importance and urgency of her training to accomplish safe behaviors around our disabled child) and we were constantly being let down. We told Meghan we wanted to cancel her "services" and refunded. She was defensive and referred to the contract that stated a refund would take up to 14 business days. We are currently on 22 |business days| and have not yet received a refund. We asked for a confirmation or ANYTHING showing that it is being processed, however Meghan continues to give reasons why it hasn't gone through or simply ignores us. I'd give negative stars if it were an option. She will also contact you upon leaving a review of your experiences and not only yell at you but threaten to take you to court.

I was so nervous to take my dog out because she usually freaks out... bad. I went to Zoom Room with…read moreher for an evaluation to see what type of training might help. The staff was so patient and kind to a worried dog mom. Molly & I got set up for some private lessons and had our first one today. I really appreciated that the trainer, Emillie, recognized when Molly was stressed or nervous. She worked with us at Molly's pace, not mine. That made all the difference in how Molly got comfortable in the new environment. On the ride there she was antsy and scared in the car. On the way home she was relaxed and happy. That alone was a huge WIN on day one! I can't wait to see what comes with our next lessons. Check out their dog peanut butter (I had to buy more) and selection of treats (we took home some Valentine's Day dog cookies).

They were very knowledgeable and very pleasant. Based on our observations, I would recommend zoom room for groups and group training. But unfortunately I wouldn't recommend private lessons. Our new rescue puppy did have some temperament issues and they said that private would be better place to start. The only training that was offered was click training. It's a very methodical approach that takes a lot of time and patience. The trainer was very well-versed in this method but the bottom line is that one type of traing doesn't fit all. This was the only method that was offered. They didn't give us the handouts in the beginning, which would've greatly assisted us assimilating the rules and expectations of click training. They gave it to us after three sessions and we paid for four 30 minute sessions. This sessions were conducted in the main room of the facility. Unfortunately, we could hear clicking sounds from people waiting for the next group lesson which totally threw off our dog's training and was an expensive waste of precious of time. So I would definitely not recommend private training at this facility - especially at $75 for 30 minutes! On a personal note, we eventually solved the problem by having our dog visit daycare on a regular basis. Our rescue puppy simply needed exposure to other dogs and a whole lot of TLC!
