You have to sign up for training with John! He goes above and beyond for dog training. He not only teaches you the basics (sit, stay, come, etc.) but also how to solve behavioral issues such as jumping and counter surfing. He will train you how to be a pack leader and gain the respect and trust of your dog! His class was worth every penny!! Rachael & Rusty

My dog's haircut that the groomer butchered.

Groomer butchered my dogs haircut then stopped. Manager wouldn't listen to my complaint and just walked away. Me and my family came here for TWENTY YEARS. Now never returning. You should never come here either. Any issues and they will not fix for you. This is insane.

The moron management & vet clinic have lost my business forever. Not only has the vet been completely dumb about reading vital vac records but the manager of the store wants a certificate of rabies. This is a passport from overseas and is clearly marked with signatures throughout the book from the veterinarian. I will not double up on vaccines just to go here. Lost a forever client and I'll make sure everyone I run into knows thier off the street employees and policies. Spend your money, go elsewhere. BTW vet clinics that have true veterinarians accept his documents and groomers do too. Petsmart is blinded & dumb.

Belinda is so caring and thoughtful. We hired her to help us with our rescue Siberian husky. She…read moreneeds a lot of work with basic training like sit stay etc she was very door reactive ( she actually ran out of her house once with the door cracked). With Belinda's help We taught our Siberian husky to sit,stay, climb, ext and she would sit even when I had the door open. Unfortunately for our lifestyle we were not able to keep our Siberian husky because she is too active and we are very busy with work and outside responsibilities and couldn't give our Siberian husky the type of a lifestyle that she needed... so with the heavy heart we had given her back to the rescue shelter Fortunately for our Siberian husky we had fostered her back to health taught her quite a bit of obedience through the help of Belinda. Knowing that our heart was broken that we had to take our Siberian husky back Belinda called us and was very comforting. She went above and beyond to let us know we were making the right decision and gave excellent support Belinda is a fantastic trainer!

I called and interviewed two other trainers before Belinda and, as much as they tried to sell me on…read morethe use of shock collars, in the end I just couldn't do it to either of my dogs. My oldest boy was a rescue who came to us extraordinarily scared and timid. It took me a good 6 mos to get him to trust me, and now he's my little shadow. He remains timid and very shy, and I fear a shock collar would make him revert back to where he was when we got him. My younger dog is also a rescue but he's just a little guy and when I felt the "shock" of the collar even at a very low number I knew I couldn't put one on him. Enter Belinda! Positive and explains dog psyche. Gives advice on adding a new command onto a learned one. She spent some time getting to know my boys and they loved her. I just wish she were in Arizona year round, as I lost several months training time with her due to a knee surgery.

I actually didn't directly come to AAA for an audition. My dog was "discovered" by Kama when I…read morebrought him in for an agility evaluation. He knew a few tricks, and had a good sit/stay, which he demonstrated quite well that day! Since then, he's been in a commercial, a print ad, and they've even asked me to do some modeling for an ad! My dog has had fun on these shoots, and comes back home eager to practice some more (What dog wouldn't love constant treats for doing tricks in a short amount of time?)! My younger dog has also been in a print ad, which was a great experience for her. Please please, know these things before auditioning your pet for an acting agency: 1. It's very important for your dog to be very good with other animals and people (Non-reactive), and as distraction proof as possible. Many acting and modeling gigs run on a tight schedule, and an obedient dog that won't get easily distracted is a must. It's also important for your dog to be trained to do tricks not just at home, but in different environments. If your dog isn't ready quite yet for any jobs though, Kama and Jubie are excellent at training, and any suggestions they have are only in the best interest for you and your dog so that you can both be better prepared for the industry. 2. Once your dog auditions and is part of the agency, it's just like being a human actor at an acting agency. Many jobs require a certain type/breed of dog, so if you are relying solely on the agency for jobs, you might be waiting for the right part to come your way. 3. A lot of jobs happen at the last minute, so having a flexible schedule is important. In all the jobs I've been to, Kama and/or Jubie have been there to make sure everything runs smoothly, and to give any helpful hints to make sure the talent hired performs reliably, admirably, while having fun at the same time. Overall, it's been an interesting experience being in the pet entertainment industry!

Registered with this business more than a year ago and got an email for an opportunity to…read more"audition". My impression was this is more like a bait and set up. They lure you in and if your animal doesn't perform to the owners level of acceptance you are then given you information for someone they work with who can give your dog obedience lessons and then they imply after which you will be put in their files for future consideration. The standards in which they test vary from one dog to the next. The person that sent the email extending to me the opportunity had made assumptions about my dogs temperament . They allowed an owner to run their dog in an agility area while asking for specific behaviors, but they did not give any information about the location, environment, activity, or anything of location. You're simply asked to come. All of these things made it look like they're drumming up business for someone else and in turn getting some kind of a return on any business sent that way.

I can't say enough good things about Lindsey!…read more We recently brought home a rescue that I knew would be challenging but had no idea how hard she would be. She was food aggressive, she was aggressive with our family - bit all of us at least once - attacked our other two dogs and literally went to the bathroom wherever she preferred. I'm not one to give up on dogs but knew that if we kept her we needed help! We decided that if we were going to work with one of our dogs - we'd also work with our other naughty dog to retrain him of his bad habits. IN THE FIRST SESSION we saw significant changes in their behavior! She is so knowledgeable, so professional, and she got my kids involved so they know what to do! We just finished our last session and I'm so grateful to her for all of the tools she's given our family to help our dogs be the best behaved versions of themselves! We still have our homework, and they still have a ways to go but this experience has been so amazing! Thank you girl, love ya!!!

Lindsey is the real deal and you'll be hardpressed to find a better training and sitting service in…read morethe Chandler area. We moved away earlier this year and were so SO bummed to leave such a great training and caretaking provider. All of her team is prepared to deal with difficult dogs and help reinforce good behavior, so all of our lunchtime visits included built-in training for our little pups. The team also sent photo updates and left detailed report cards every single day without fail. Lindsey herself is such a boss when it comes to training and is so so patient and welcoming. All of her own dogs are super patient too and were incorporated into the training sessions to help our little pups get used to being around other dogs. We (pups included) miss Lindsey and TLDSH tremendously!

We searched for months to find a dog trainer who was not only effective but also responsive and…read moretrustworthy. It wasn't easy. Once we found All-American K-9 and Erika, we knew we had hit the jackpot. We handed our sweet (but crazy) Labrador over to her for a 3-week Board & Train, with a little trepidation. After 3 weeks, we were amazed to get back the most well-behaved, calm dog. Not only did Erika train Finn, but she also taught us how to keep up the training. The responsiveness is unparalleled. I always get well-thought-out and specific answers to my questions within a few hours. I also love that this isn't just a one-and-done training. We have lifetime access in case we have questions, which is a relief, since we have someone who knows Finn and can help in the future. The Board & Train might not be affordable for everyone, but it was absolutely worth every penny. I wish we had found Erika months ago.

The transformation after finishing the program is incredible. I now have the confidence to take Dovi into any environment and know that I can keep his attention. He walks better, is more attentive, and his overall behavior has improved. Best of all, I feel our human-dog connection is better. We are both happier and more confident after Bob's training. Bob is straightforward, matter of fact, and easy to learn from. Can't recommend it enough!

This review is a bit overdue. We adopted a cute little terrier mix from a local rescue and, after…read morehaving to toss out many shoes and experiencing several days of frustration, hired Mark to train us and our new pup. We were convinced that our new pup was the devil incarnate and we were being karmically punished for something horrible we'd done in a past life. Mark offered scheduling options and we opted for him to come to our home for training. We mostly stuck to our schedule, but he was flexible when circumstances changed. The training was fantastic. He provided a curriculum and modified it, when necessary. By the end of the 8 training lessons, our pup was absolutely transformed. Seriously. It's not magic, though. It was up to us to consistently train between lessons. And we did. And we still do. Mark provided exactly what we needed to be successful in understanding and managing our pup's needs, and how to get him to respond to us favorably. Our 11th week with our new pack member is coming to a close and we are so happy that we called Mark to help us through the frustration. We highly recommend his services. Thank you, Mark!
