Best time ever .. You guys are so skilled and professional. We had such a great experience. We felt safe, learned a lot and had fun doing it. Can't wait to invite 2 friends. Sheepdog and all your staff are awesome.!

I had been wanting to learn more about firearms for quite some time, and this introduction to firearms class was excellent. Our class had 16 students (women), and three instructors: Luis, Andrew and Rosi. The instructors were experienced, comfortable and confident and provided excellent information and encouragement. The class included gun and safety education as well as hands-on practice. The instructors went out of their way to provide information and guidance. Whether you own a weapon or not, the class is excellent and will benefit anyone. Tip: if you are sensitive to loud sounds, you may want to bring along some noise-canceling equipment. The class is held at the end of a beautiful canyon with multiple groups practicing shooting, so it can be a little loud, but you will feel very safe.

In January I took the Women's Intro to Firearms with Sheepdog Firearms Training. They offer women's firearm classes, Co-Ed and other firearms training courses. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a basic understanding of firearms, learn safety and/ or even considering owning a firearm. The class was safe, thorough and professional. Luis and his team are highly trained and knowledgeable. Not only do they show you what to do, they also are right there with you when you are doing it. I like that the classes are small enough for individual help and instruction. We fired training guns, 9MM, riffles and a shotgun. I'll definitely be signing up for another class.

The training here is awesome. Very informative and fun. Luis, and Andrew are great instructors. Can't wait to sign up for the next class

I had fun taking this training course. I learned a lot of the fundamentals on how to handle a hand gun safely. I felt very comfortable at the end of class. Met some great woman that felt empowered at the end of the course. The instructors were great at teaching us and were open to any questions. I highly recommend anyone to take this class. Thank you Sheepdog!!

Just attended my second women's only class with my daughter and we're both ready for more. If your a woman who's considered owning a gun but don't know where to start and/or feel too intimated by the male dominated classes this is your class! Started with the introduction to firearms last month which helped us get rid of our fear of firearms and today we took Women's personal protection class which just solidified our desire to own a gun for personal protection. Both classes taught us about gun safety and each built our confidence about the use of one. If you're hesitating DON'T. The trainers are very patient and friendly and don't bully you into learning techniques but individually show you when your technics are off. Initially my daughter didn't want to take the class for fear of shooting a gun and now she wants to own one. Mom is not going to be around to protect her so teaching her how to protect herself.

Staff is professional, helpful and friendly. Instructors give easy to follow prompts, they guide you on what needs to be changed or errors you are doing. Most importantly safety has been top priority specially handling guns. Definitely recommend and suggest to everyone who wants to have more experience in gun handling, or gain confidence and be comfortable when it comes to firearms.

Highly recommend Sheepdog Women's Intro and Intermediate courses. Intro course provides the basics of gun handling & gun safety. It seems so intimidating at first and yet comfortable because all the other women in class feel nervous in the same way. The instructors are super patient and kind. We practiced handgun and rifle and even got to try a shotgun. Guns and amo were included. Home invasion and defense scenarios are discussed. Intermediate women's course had us review basics and then learn new skills which all build on each other. The pace of class if good and instructors make sure you can do the skills before moving on. We got to shoot a lot more than Intro course and got to bring in our own gun for practice. This was invaluable because I practically got 1:1 instruction on handling and problem solving my new gun. If you have always wanted to learn and feel more comfortable around guns, you should check out their courses. Super fun with family or a group of girlfriends. My sister-in-law and I had the best time and can't wait to go again.

GREAT CLASS! I found Sheepdog through a Facebook add. The booking process is easy and payment as well. I also received text message reminders, which I found very helpful! The class instructor, Luis is awesome! He's informative and if this is your first time handling a firearm, he makes you feel comfortable and guides you all the way. His two assistants were also a huge help! Definitely going to continue my firearm education through them!!

Definitely the best place if you want to get trained for home defense, everyone is just so helpful and patient and very knowledgeable. They have the best set up so you feel safe ALL THE TIME...they have different classes you can take, some specifically for women . Im on my second class and already looking into booking my 3rd. I most definitly feel like I'm more aware and smarter and even stronger... thank you guys and girl... looking forward to seeing you in the next class...

This review is long overdue. Attended the Women's intro to Firearms course recently and it was by far one of the best experiences I've had. To start off, I had no experience with firearms whatsoever and I was a bit nervous to attend the class. The instructors made all of us ladies feel comfortable, confident and most importantly, they made us feel safe. I was glad that I took the course and I left feeling empowered and confident. I am planning in continuing my learning and signing up for other courses as these skills are priceless, especially during these times. I encourage anyone, especially ladies to attend these courses and to learn how to properly and safely handle a firearm. A big thanks to these amazing instructors Luis, Andy and Edras. Thank you, gentlemen for such an amazing experience!

I took the Women's Basics course after moving to LA and it changed my life! I would sign all of my…read morefriends up for this class if I could. This course teaches essential skills for verbal de-escalation, boundary setting, and physical self-defense, but what really sets it apart is how those skills are ingrained through fully-adrenalized, full-force fight scenarios. That, and the fact that the IMPACT instructors are phenomenal. I'm always impressed by their attentiveness, innovative teaching techniques, and their emphasis on students' safety during physical confrontations. Since taking the Basics course, I've successfully used verbal de-escalation tools twice in real-life situations, including during a frightening incident when a muscular man ran straight at me and blocked my path while I was walking in my neighborhood. I've also applied the skills I've learned in the workplace and most other areas of life. It may sound hyperbolic, but the class really changed how I walk through the world. If you can't commit to the full Basics course, consider taking the Intro Class. It's a great place to start. IMPACT also offers an advanced course and a "Defense Against the Armed Assailant" course for those who have completed the Basics. I took both and highly recommend!

10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I had wanted to take a Basics class for a long time but kept putting it off…read more(so nervous) but one day I thought JUST DO IT, and I'm so glad I did! It's not like martial arts, there's not a ton of fancy tricks; it's accessible and practical skills..AND you get to fight an actual person. I didn't just learn skills to defend myself, I learned about what I was actually capable of. It changed my life! Can't recommend enough!

I received on my Internet an invitation to go to defense…read morepractice organization for a 1 hour Presentation on how to shoot weapons, including high powered weapons and learn about self defense. I thought that sounds like a lot of fun. So I called the number and was able to secure an appointment a week later and received several emails during that week. Asking me to check off and sign a waiver and also told I could invite a friend. I decided to invite my best friend and later. We decided what day we could go and signed up. We got there a few minutes early and this place was really nice in burbank right off the five freeway near bueno vista avenue and found a parking spot and went in to the front where we were greeted by a receptionist who had us fill out the waiver again and check all the boxes and sign it, and then we were good to go. A very large man came out and said he was our trainer.And his name was robert, and he was an ex army man who had been stationed overseas and had.I've been in many real life.Dangerous situations in combat. He showed us many different training rooms, where he explained that they don't use real guns with real bullets, but they use laser guns or bullets that were round.And made of rubber. Different rooms taught different types of training. Including learning self defense techniques where people can basically learn many types of moves that they can make if somebody were to be attacking them.And they did not have a weapon or didn't want to start by using a weapon. He then took us into our own private training room and explained different laws and different techniques of how you should respond in Different scenarios and then put on videos for us to practice with. But the first thing he did was show us a target and had us use laser guns to aim and fire at a target. He taught us how to get a gun out of our holster properly.And how to aim and shoot and first in a relaxed situation.And then in a real life type scenario with a video in front of us, we were ask to respond as if it were a real life situation. All in all we both learned a lot. How to fun time? And at the very end, we were offered a membership for twelve months.Although it was a little expensive for our pocket books, it was tempting.And if I were maybe thirty years younger, I probably would have gone for it kind of like a gym membership. In any event, it was a great experience. And fun, and we learned a lot about the laws. And how you can defend yourself. And when you can shoot, and when you cannot shoot. So I do think it was worth the hour-long training just to learn that. And had a fun time, so I strongly recommend it, and I will take a picture of Roberts business card. So, if you would like to go to your 1 hour training session, you might call them up and see if you can't at least go. And check it out, like I did. And then you may decide you want to do it twice a month for a year, or longer.

My intimidation melted away when I heard the stories of women like me who has needed to use self-defense in their real lives. The class teaches real life moves for real life scenarios and helps you to maintain calm and focus so that you can get yourself out, get away and get help. I especially appreciated that we would be paired up with people who are very different in size and height from us, it didn't feel like a cookie cutter program. Having a male in the class to practice 'choking out' our attacker was the highlight of the class for me! Very empowering! I would recommend this class to all of my friends, high school and college aged ladies, even as a business team building exercise.

After the second week of the class I knew that I wanted to pursue Jiu Jitsu. This class really helped build my self confidence and make me feel that in a terrible situation I could act in a way to get myself out of it. The camaraderie in the six week class got stronger each week!!! The only down side was how fast the six weeks go by. I would recommend this class to any women out there regardless of age. It's only six weeks, do it.
