I really thought I did my homework... national company, written guarantee, lifetime training for…read more$1K. What is the saying... if it seems to good to be true, it is. TOTAL SCAM. Check the BBB website for Tempe AZ complaints and F rating. My complaint is exactly the same as those on the BBB website. The "trainer" Jim in this case, shows up one time, gives a three hour boiler plate presentation about pack animal behavior and about 30 min of actual training then gives YOU all the responsibility to train your dog...for $1K! He only came once for first meeting I mentioned and after almost 6 weeks went by with zero follow-up, I reached out and told him in person that I hired him to train my dog and that I want my money back. The Bark Busters website is purposely misleading and vague indicating they will work with you to develop a training foundation, etc. They won't..they'll gaslight you that you are doing it wrong after ONE 30 min hands-on session. I am currently filing a complaint with the NM Attorney General and BBB to try and get my money back...These are bad people taking a lot of money up front with no actual training given. If I could choose minus stars, I would.

I adopted a four year old dog from Animal Humane about four weeks ago. Lobo had severe separation…read moreanxiety to the point that he scratched my front door and would bark for minutes on end as soon as I stepped out of my house without him. Additionally, he felt the need to 'protect' me from intruders and barks constantly when I have guests over and even when the sit down, once they stand back up or make any sudden movements, Lobo goes back into his barking frenzy. I felt it was imperative for me to seek help with this behavioral issues. The vet recommended I look into Bark Busters and I'm so glad I did. James Landers came to my house right on-time and within a couple of hours my dog was put on track to recovery. I have homework to do, but I feel extremely confident, based on the progress he has already made, that as I continue his training his problems will be a thing of the past. I also really like their lifetime guarantee and feel confident that I could always call with questions should any issues arise. I highly recommend you call and talk to James about the problems you may be facing with your dog. You'll be glad you did.

We LOVE Dogland. Almost a decade ago, I took my first dog to Arie for reactivity training, and…read moreArie's guidance was a gamechanger for us. My current pup goes to day-play almost every week- she absolutely loves it, and I feel totally secure that she is being cared for and is safe. Most other daycares don't offer the "day play" model- which focuses on individual attention and out-door time with staff. After my previous dog had a couple bad experiences in daycare situation with many dogs all in a large room, I am so grateful that day play is an option- it really eases my mind knowing that there is so much oversight. We are so grateful for Dogland! (Now they just to start boarding so I can go on a vacation! *wink*)

Jon (the owner and dog trainer) is FANTASTIC!…read more My husband and I adopted an adult, 4 1/2 year old rescue/stray named Bolt in January 2021. He's a whopping 8lb. and a Chihuahua/poodle/Yorkie terrier/Maltese mix aka a mutt! He had no training at all. He was definitely a mess. Anyways, we desperately needed some dog training, and I searched all over Albuquerque. Jon was the only person I could find that offered a free consult. I really didn't want to pay to meet a trainer. What if it didn't work out? However, He came to our house for the consult, and Bolt LOVES him. Jon does 3-4 private lessons (sit, place, walking on a leash) and then "promotes" them to dog group class. He's really patient, loves to talk about dogs, and helps to trouble shoot weird dog behaviors. We have been in group class for about a month to 6 weeks. Bolt went from being scared of poop bags and not knowing his own name to being able to sit, place, come when called, and is working on down, off, leave it, and leash walking. Group classes are great, everyone is very supportive and friendly, plus Bolt gets to work on tuning out distractions, as they are held at local parks. Overall, I have been SO happy with Jon and Swagger Dog Training. He's amazing and the service he provides is top notch. If you need a dog trainer, PICK JON.

I own an Aussiedoodle that's crazy anxious. I figure I should name the breed up front, because I…read morewas looking for other doodle people when I perused dog training reviews and ultimately went with Amanda at ABQ Bark University. I wanted to hear from someone who knew my struggle, man. The struggle of owning a dog that everyone else thinks is a bad animal. The struggle of a dog who gets spooked by strangers, strange dogs, strange sounds, strange places. It's not her fault, it's how she's wired, and as Amanda explained, I could, over time, rewire her. That's what we've been doing over the last five lessons; No shock collars, no strict scolding, just a slow reintroduction to the world she'd learned to fear. Lots of teensy, tiny treats, plenty of praise, and an easing of the natural world around her. Five lessons and we're in a spot where I'm feeling ready to send Tillie to group classes, to socialize her and improve her confidence so that, someday, everyone else will know just how incredibly sweet and loving she is. So is Amanda worth it? Absolutely. She has me writing my first review in years. That's saying something, right?

I love that her techniques require patience and not the use of choke chains and harsh techniques used by other trainers in the past. She's had to work on the people working with the dog, aka us. It took awhile to get an appointment with her. She spent above and beyond the time we were charged for, because we needed it. She has a true gift for working with dogs and the people that come with them. Looking forward to working with her more in the future.
