First, I'd toss out that 2 star review from the person in Savanah, GA. Seems unlikely someone from…read moreGA would call for a dog assessment from a company in King of Prussia - but that's just me. We have 2 dogs, both rescues from Lancaster puppy mills. One was a mill momma for 7 years and very traumatized. We spent 2 years working through her trauma. Then we adopted a 4 month old through the same rescue. Far less trauma, but we knew 2 things - she was smart as a whip - and going to be a handful so we decided to find a trainer. The rescue partners with At Attention so we looked into them. At first I was turned off by the aggressive, military bootcamp style name - then was pleasantly surprised to learn they do only positive reinforcement training. We looked at their services and staff and chose Andrea. Loved her back story and felt she'd have the vibe that would be right for our trauma dog. And she did. We'd never worked to train our trauma dog beyond the absolute basics because her trauma was so deep she'd revert. The pup however needed active training. We did the initial consult and Andrea observed all the things with little input from us, suggested a plan that included giving the trauma dog the basics. So we signed up for 5 sessions of the basic puppy training at our home because - again - the trauma dog would not have done well out of her environment. I can't say enough positive things about our experience with Andrea. She's got definite "dog whisperer" mojo. She's knowledgeable, loves the dogs and is just a kind hearted spirit (which the trauma dog gravitates to). The new puppy hit the extra willful stage so we signed up for another 5 sessions and it's been kind of miraculous. The puppy is learning the rules and older trauma pooch is learning how to be a dog. The two now play together for extended periods of time, something we never thought the trauma dog would have in her life. The trauma dog is helping to teach the puppy the rules of the house, and the puppy is teaching her how to be - well - a puppy. Money well spent and Andrea is an amazing trainer!

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 was told that my position change was temporary, but months later I was informed that the transition I had been expecting was no longer happening. I was never clearly informed of that change and only found out after asking for an update myself. I was also told that I was approved to work an 8:30-4:30 schedule moving forward. This schedule adjustment was discussed due to previous attendance write-ups related to delays with the city bus. My understanding was that this change would help ensure I could consistently arrive on time and avoid any further attendance-related disciplinary action. Then, without warning, I received an email informing me that my employment was being terminated. I was not given a clear explanation for the decision, which left me confused and frustrated. In my experience, there was a lack of transparency and consistent communication regarding decisions that affected my employment. I often felt unclear about expectations and changes to my role. Thankfully, I already had another job lined up. However, my experience left me disappointed and reinforced my concerns about how employees are communicated with and managed

Taylor taught me how to greatly improve Dawgue's response to the command "come" to me in about 15 minutes. I learned a lot about the psychology of dog and what motivates them to respond to my commands. After working with Taylor, I saw a great improvement in Dawgue's response to me in our first walk outside, she was much better behaved and is learning to come to me when told to do so. There is much to be learned by me and more training for Dawgue to help me reach my goal of having her walk beside me without a leash and not be distracted by other dogs, people and other critters etc. I am very encouraged that by working with Taylor and heeding his advice Dawgue and I will accomplish this goal.

I've been taking my dog to Braxtons for the self-serve dog bath once a month for over two years…read moresince we moved to the area. I always find the staff incredibly kind and professional--they deserve ten stars. However I feel some customers who come to use the self-serve dog bath are "abusing" the facility. If you have a big dog that sheds like crazy and you don't really know how to do it, you should spend more money and send the dog to a professional groomer. It doesn't feel right when you need to use 20 towels and make a huge mess. The self-serve dog bath isn't meant to be used in this manner. This is just my honest opinion. I truly feel sorry for the store and staff in that kind of situations. I know it's hard for Braxtons to come up with a policy about what kind of dogs can use the self-serve bath (which would definitely causes backlashes), but people should have known better.
