Unprofessional and damaging: Our dog has regressed significantly…read more We enrolled our 3-year-old Pitbull mix in a 4-week Behavior Modification course specifically to address her severe anxiety and confidence issues. Despite a two-hour intake call and my constant check-ins, we discovered three weeks into the program that the staff had no idea why she was there. Instead of the specialized care we paid for, our dog was passed off to an intern for a "one-size-fits-all" obedience program. They used fear-based methods that were entirely inappropriate for an anxious dog. We were looking for confidence building; instead, they broke her spirit. The aftermath is devastating: our dog has regressed so severely that we are now forced to consider rehoming--a position we never thought we'd be in. When we tried to address this, the management was dismissive. We were told by a trainer (not the manager we asked for) that our dog was "manipulating us." As experienced dog owners, we know this is a lazy excuse for poor training. Do not trust this facility with a dog that needs behavioral support.

I just had my first meeting with Tony and our German Shepherd/Husky. He clearly has an excellent…read moreunderstanding of dogs and is not interested in using excessive force in his training methods.

My husband & I were in DESPERATE need of obedience training for our 6 mo old pit bull puppy Yolo…read more Things were so bad that I wanted to get rid of him. So my husband started Googling and found Knucklehead K9. He called & left a msg and Tony called us back within minutes! He gave us all the details of his programs and pricing, and we setup an appt. From the first session Tony set the tone and showed Yolo who was in charge. We were astonished at how quickly he got our dog to listen with just patience, clear direction & treats! My husband and I needed the most training lol! Tony really understands dogs and how they think. He rewards with treats and praise for good behavior and corrects with firm direction for negative behavior. He really taught us how to be our dog's leader. We really liked his training techniques and learned SO much! He is very straight forward and does not sugar coat. It is truly about the owners being consistent and firm. If you're ready for a real dog trainer then Tony is your guy! But YOU better be ready to do the work! We are so much happier with our dog. He's a year old now and we can honestly say he's a GOOD DOG! Sure he's still a pup and has some maturing to do but he has done a 180 since we did the training. We love Tony!

I explained how Layla always pulls on her leash and can be anxious around new people and dogs she has never met. Dana gave me the tips on how to alleviate these issues. She showed me her training leash, which was included in her fee for me to keep. Her techniques has Layla walking calmly without pulling in minutes. Dana even was able to get Layla to stay for several minutes! We trained inside and out and I was amazed at how quickly Layla was able to understand the expectations and comply with her requests! She also gave tips on showing how to ensure your pet waits for her instruction befor entering or leaving the hose at the doors. I am so thankful! Dana's email is ALTSDOGTraining@gmail.com. She works wonders!

Absolutely amazing. We have a small miniature Schnauzer who had horrible fear aggression issues…read more She would lunge, bite, bark incessantly and, when she was in that panic mode, would not hear any command we were giving her. We talked to Jillian, the owner of Riverfront (and trainer). She came out for a free consultation and after speaking with her, we decided to send Ziggy to her house for 2 weeks and then have follow up lessons. It was worth every single penny. Jillian offers payment plans, too! Jillian's training has been a god send for us. Ziggy listens to commands, follows direction and we have a completely new dog in our home. We no longer have to be afraid to walk her when other people are out, we don't have to crate her for guests to come over and our lives are much less stressed. I cannot recommend Jillian and Riverfront Dog Training enough!

We recently finished with Jillian's home away program with our dog Kane and I could not be happier…read morewith our experience. Kane struggled with aggression issues with other dogs, and people. He was very inconsistent in following commands and we were always scared he would dart out the door to chase the rabbits in our yard. We were never able to bring Kane out with us for fear that he would attack someone. We were resigned to the fact that our dog was just always going to be like this. All of those worries are now totally behind us. Kane is a totally different dog. He is eager to follow commands and is no longer aggressive towards dogs or people. Last night he was in our yard with 4 kids petting him and he calmly sat in the grass and enjoyed the love. The transformation has been incredible and everyone who sees the progress Kane has made has the same jaw dropping reaction. It is unbelievable and such a dream to have Kane reach his potential like this. Jillian is kind and incredibly professional. She does everything she can to help you and your dog be successful. She treated Kane with so much respect and love, it was very comforting knowing that he was in the best hands possible. If you are even remotely considering pet training, please set up a meeting with Jillian. She is remarkable!

Brennan has seen our 14 mos. old hound rescue 3 times now, and the changes are mind boggling…read more yesterday he took my husband and me for a walk with our pup on the rail trail to teach us how to walk him. I anticipated letting my husband do the actual training and just watch, but he made it look so easy that I volunteered to try walking him. wow, to say I was shocked and pleased is an understatement. I will be putting in some steps over the next couple of weeks to reinforce my training, but I already feel confident with what he has taught us. in 3 sessions our dog no longer jumps on us, has played with Brennans dog with no aggression, and was able to walk nicely for an hour with people and even dogs passing us. I guarantee whatever your issue is Brennan can help!

When we picked up our dog, the woman at the check out said our dog got a little scratch. Well, when she came out, our dog had a big gouge on her neck. It looked to us like another dog took a big bite between her neck and shoulder. I don't know what bothered us more, the receptionist minimalizing this or being charged $13, for some play yard service we did not request. Watch out for group play! They either do not monitor the dogs or put aggressive breeds in.

Listen, I'm not sure where to start because there's so much I want to cover regarding OLK9's Day…read moreCamp Program. First things first, Craig [Martin] is a Rockstar trainer. Period. Our very first interaction was great...his energy was wonderful...he did not disappoint! He was very methodical with his approach...explaining every step of the process...very engaging...constant updates of the Boyz progress...videos, photos...wait! The photos that I received were Ahhhhhhh-mazing, I mean impressive...only to learn that he's a photographer as well...but I digress. The Boyz are spoiled and I have no shame in stating this...*smile*. But they needed to learn manners. I have two large and very strong Standard Poodles - Mr. Brown and Max. They're extremely smart, pretty obedient in the house, but a huge challenge on walks...my poor dog walker. I wanted to be able to take them anywhere without the extended conversations of sit, stay, what are you doing? you know better... etc. At any rate, I'd been following OLK9 Maryland for some time online. I knew that training for two dogs was going to be a budget buster. Thankfully, I was able to take advantage of the "Black Friday" or "Cyber Monday" (can't remember which one it was). I cannot say enough about the great experience I had...the Boyz were happy to see Craig each day which was a HUGE relief for me. Yes, additional work/training on my part is required...to me that's a no brainer. As a responsible pet owner, I want to make sure that there is consistency and an expectation that my Boyz are well behaved and well mannered. Which means I have to do the work. Funny, as I was driving home from our final session, I was so tempted to take them on a short walk because I knew it would be enjoyable. But decided to wait until morning... I'm so excited to be able to have an enjoyable walk with these guys... less scolding and more bonding. Well worth the time and financial commitment. Thank you OLK9 Maryland for bringing additional joy to our home... things are definitely more "manageable". I'm really looking forward to our walks, especially since there will be NO more pulling! Can't wait to be able to take them to the "brick and mortar" with me once it's open! "Life Changing K9 Training"

I wasted over $1,000 to unknowingly abuse my dog through Off Leash K9. I sought help because my dog…read morewas reactive toward other dogs, loud vehicles, and people. I was desperate to help my dog and myself and Off Leash K9 had good reviews. What these folks didn't tell me was that my dog's reactivity, what I thought was outright aggression, was actually fear - that she was scared of all of these things and trying to protect herself from them. So with the use of the e-collar (really just a shock collar let's be honest), I punished her every time she showed a fear response at Off Leash K-9's direction. This definitely changed her behavior, but rather than helping her feel more comfortable with the things that scared her, we instead punished her for being afraid and taught her to hide her fear responses. I wish I had looked at the science behind dog behavior, because I now know research shows that punishment through things like e-collars, buzz collars, spray bottles, etc. are incredibly counterproductive to changing dog behavior long term and they seriously traumatize the dog. I'm so very grateful to have met a Fear Free trainer who taught me about positive reinforcement. It has improved my relationship with my dog immensely and it has ultimately lead to the sustained behavior change I was looking for. Please do not waste your money on abusive, ignorant training through Off Leash K9.

So proud of him! We've attended group classes and did drop off CEO training since Noah was about 5 months. Noah has learned basic manners and over 20 tricks here. I learned how to properly handle, correct, protect, and play with my dog. If it wasn't for his caring trainers I would've lost my mind dealing with the Puppy Blues months ago ‍.
