The training we received from you was instrumental in helping us in keeping our two boys safe. Your training was not for them, but for us. Capone and Pawlie appear much happier now, much more responsive, and Jodi and I are much more confident in our abilities. When our boys started becoming aggressive with each other, it broke our hearts. We had so much happening in our lives, we had forgotten that we project on to our kids. Instead of having one step forward , three steps back, we are now four steps forward and one step back. We just know, now, that we have to be more diligent with them and remember they too are our children. Your guidance, and teaching, has helped us regain our lives, and feel that our kids are safe, and they have been playing together. We, as Mom and Dad, still stress and want to make sure they are always safe, but our lives are much calmer because of you and your teaching. I look forward to actually getting to the group classes, and seeing you soon! Thanks again! Shane Brough

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!!!

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!

Before I discovered all American K-9 I was 100% disappointed and discouraged with all of the…read moreprevious training and gadgets that I had tried. I could not figure out why nothing was working. A colleagusuggested that I try a dog trainer named Bob Solomini that he had used in the past. His passion and confidence in Bob convinced me and even though I was very skeptical and worn out I decided to give it one last try. I am excited to tell you about my invaluable experience and what I learned from it: -my dog was only a small part of the problem, but the majority of the behavioral problems stemmed from me. Dogs aren't born knowing how to behave the way humans would like them to, so we as responsible dog owners need to teach them. -we don't automatically realize what we are doing wrong and unless a true professional who really cares can teach us the correct way we can't be sure that we will ultimately have a happy relationship with our pet. -after four years of pulling my hair out and stressful walks with my dog I wound up moving to a new neighborhood, and my dog was totally out of control when I walked him. When he saw people with dogs, he went crazy and I could not stop him from barking and pulling. In fact, he pulled me down a couple of times where I sprained my ankle and another time where I hurt my knee. In fact, most of my neighbors walked the other way when they saw us and complained about my dog's bad behavior. After the first lesson, I immediately knew that I had found something different. Humane, focused,, professional, and results driven. I am so lucky that I found all American K-9 and especially Bob Solomini. I love walking my dog now, and all of my neighbors have praised the incredible transformation that they see. This was literally a life-changing experience for my dog and for me. I am so thankful that I found somebody that really knows what they're doing and really cares -not only is Bob a great person, but also the Best dog trainer that I have ever met. I highly recommend this trainer and business to anyone who is serious about having a great dog!
