    Laying down in her "place"
    Justin M.

    I have a Catahoula/Border Collie/ Aussie mix. Needless to say, she's very energetic. Being away for work most days, it was a little hard to polish up on my dogs skills. I contacted Shayne and she responded quickly. We discussed over email what needs and wants I wanted for my dog. I chose the private boarding class. After some weeks, my puppy was ready for me to pick up. It's crazy how just a few weeks changed my dog. Her obeying commands, waiting, sitting, leave it and a few others were on point. I was really impressed. Since then I've taken my dog to the beach, mountains and even a few local restaurant that allows dogs on the patio. Well behaved and obedient. The best part was receiving compliments from strangers and friends on how well my dog is and has gotten. Of course, it's up to you to keep up with your dogs teachings, but it's well worth it to be able to have a dog that listens and obeys you. I would highly recommend Shayne to anybody looking to perfect their dog in anyway. Thank you!

    If you are searching for a professional dog trainer who is committed to helping you and your companion, then Shayne at Star Maker is who you are looking for. We are first time owners of a Frenchie. Vinnie was out of control and we were fed up. He would not listen, guarded his food, harassed my other animals and eliminated in inappropriate places. I contacted several local dog training services and Shayne was welcoming and knowledgeable from the beginning. She came to our home and spent time talking to us about our concerns. We were never rushed and felt comfortable sending him for the Board and Train. Highly recommend this program but if it is not in your budget, she does offer private in home sessions. Either way you will not be disappointed. Vinnie is back home and he is completely transformed.

    Maddie was great! We've been working on teaching our 3-year-old GSP how to walk on a leash without…read morepulling, and she made a huge difference right away. She showed us simple, practical techniques--starting with how to properly leave the house and how to consistently correct pulling during walks. She also walked alongside us and provided real-time feedback, which was incredibly helpful. Everything she taught was easy to follow and actually works. You can tell she really knows what she's doing and cares about setting both the dog and owners up for success. Highly recommend Maddie if you're struggling with leash training or just want better structure on walks.

I came across Maddie and thought I've give her a shot. I am not too fond of going to someone's house and I thought I would give it a shot. I am glad I did. She was very nice, very fast, and very understanding. Not to mention, she is fairly priced compared to other places, especially the place i've already stated for a piss poor job. All in all, I found my new place to take my 5lb dog! See you soon Maddie! Barking Beauties, take a hike!

Before coming, I'd suggest selling a kidney first. They only care about your money and not your pet. I was originally told it would be $120 for two baths, sanitary trims, and nails. I go in and they laid out a million additional fees and stated that they'd have to shave them because their undercoat was shedding out.. Not a big deal, I agreed to that. After they spent over 6 hrs there, I went to pick them up and was charged a bunch of additional fees for "behavioral issues". I asked what happened and they said one was anxious and moving around. I've been getting both dogs groomed regularly for 5 years and have always asked how they do. They have all told me that they were absolutely great but one gets anxious when separated. I told them that up front and they stated that they'd keep them together. When I showed up, they were both tied to a wall in separate rooms... I wonder why he was anxious? Then I get home and see that their toes are all bloody and chopped off. They also had nicks everywhere from the shears. After being there over 6 hrs, they got home and downed water so I'm sure they didn't have any ALL DAY. There wasnt any in the kennels or the wall that they were tied to. My dogs were also shaking like they were terrified when I picked them up. My dogs are very well behaved so I'd hate to see what they charge others who may not be. If I could give zero stars, I would.

    ABSOLUTE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE--DO NOT TRUST ALLIE DOG TRAINER WITH YOUR DOG…read more I handed over $3,500 in March 2025 for their heavily promoted "On & Off Leash Advanced Obedience Program," explicitly promising 100% reliable off-leash control--full recall in any environment, off-leash heeling, the freedom to hike/camp/park/beach while maintaining total control at any moment, no matter the distraction. That was the core selling point I paid for. What I got? Zero off-leash reliability. Gunner is nowhere near off-leash safe--he ignores recalls completely in real-world settings, bolts toward people/dogs, and shows no dependable control whatsoever. The "training" was a total fraud on that front alone. On top of the complete failure to deliver the promised off-leash obedience, they returned my once-confident, healthy Cane Corso as a trembling, emaciated shell--ribs protruding like a rescue case, eyes filled with terror, cowering from me (his owner) for days as if I'd abused him. He arrived without the expensive bed and slip leash I provided, which they simply kept--no return, no explanation. No video updates ever arrived despite promising them every 2-4 days to monitor well-being. The fallout was immediate and severe: on April 14, 2025, Gunner exploded in panic while I was gone just three hours, shredding his heavy-duty crate into foam confetti and twisted metal. He later lunged aggressively at my girlfriend--behavior he never had before. They ghosted post-program, relocated without a word, ignored months of desperate messages for the promised follow-ups, and when cornered, gaslit me: blaming his starvation-look on the raw diet they approved, pretending they "tried" to help, and inventing a fake "remaining balance." These are not trainers--they are negligent scammers who traumatize dogs, steal belongings, pocket your money, and disappear. I'm thousands deeper now repairing the damage they caused to Gunner's body and trust. If you value your dog's safety and happiness, stay far away. Allie Dog Trainer delivers the opposite of what they promise--especially the off-leash control that is 100% nonexistent here. RUN--DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR DOG OR YOUR MONEY. I paid $3,500 in March 2025 for their "Advanced Off-Leash Obedience Program" that explicitly promised 100% reliable off-leash control--perfect recall in any environment, off-leash heeling, freedom to hike, camp, go to parks/beaches while always having total control. That was the #1 reason I chose them. Reality: Gunner is 100% NOT off-leash safe. He ignores recalls completely in real-world settings, bolts toward people and dogs, and has zero dependable control. The core promise I paid for was a complete lie. When Gunnar was dropped off, my once-confident, healthy Cane Corso was a terrified, emaciated wreck--ribs protruding like a rescue dog, cowering from me for days as if I were a stranger. They kept his expensive bed and slip leash without a word. No video updates ever arrived despite promising them every 2-4 days. The fallout was immediate and terrifying: on April 14, 2025, Gunner panicked while I was gone just three hours and completely destroyed his heavy-duty crate--foam shredded everywhere, fabric ripped to pieces. He later lunged aggressively at my girlfriend, behavior he NEVER had before they "trained" him. Their public response to my concerns is pure gaslighting: claiming weight loss is "normal" for an anxious dog on a lean raw diet (a diet THEY accepted and monitored), saying dogs "regress" when returning home (so why charge $3,500?), and blaming me for not booking follow-ups--while conveniently ignoring that they relocated out of state without notice and stopped responding for months. They never provided the three promised free follow-ups, never sent care instructions, and now hide behind excuses like "communication was inconsistent" when I have the full text history showing me begging for help and them ignoring me. These people are not professional trainers--they are negligent, dishonest opportunists who take your money, return a traumatized and physically worse dog, steal belongings, disappear, and then post polished deflections when called out. I'm out thousands more fixing the damage they caused to Gunner's body, trust, and behavior. If you love your dog, stay far away from Wild Tails Dog Training / Allie Dog Trainer. They deliver trauma, not training.

We used to board at a facility but we love that our pup Phoebe can stay with Allie in her home and she's comfortable. I'll never board Phoebe in a facility again. Allie is very communicative and sends updates via text each day which I appreciate so much! Drop off and pick up is so easy. When we pick up Phoebe, Phoebe is in great condition meaning she's not stinky or dirty. We trust Wild Tails with our precious angel because we know she's taken care of. She treats our pup as if she was her own. We will be forever loyal to Allie! And Phoebe loves her!

She worked with…read moremy Pom-Pug, Titus, over the course of five lessons--and the progress has been incredible. From the very first session, Titus was immediately receptive to Dawn. She has such a calm, confident presence and a clear gift for connecting with dogs. What really set her apart, though, is that she didn't just train Titus--she trained me, too. Once she showed me how to properly work with him using clear, consistent commands and rewards, everything clicked into place. The improvement in his behavior has been fast and honestly kind of amazing. Dawn is patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about setting you and your dog up for long-term success. I can't recommend her enough--if you're looking for a trainer who really knows what she's doing, look no further than Happy Dog Obedience!

Dawn's gentle, loving methods guided both Sadie and us through the commands sit, down, stay, look, and leash walking. She answered all of our questions which went well beyond the scope of the training. We learned that we (the family) were in training right alongside Sadie. Dawn has been training animals most of her life and understands their behavior. She immediately and correctly assessed Sadie's personality, which she then aligned with her personalized training. We appreciate Dawn's patient, gentle methods and are thrilled with Sadie's progress! We can't wait to begin the Good Citizen program in a couple of months!
