I enrolled him in this training class with Bob who is the owner of RSC, not having a CLUE what to do. Bob has taught me so many techniques and ways to handle my dog, and it has turned him into an extremely well behaved dog, and myself a well educated owner. People do not realize the hard work that you need to put into training a dog, but I learned very quickly when I started these classes. Not only is Bob a great trainer but he has turned into a great friend in my life. I never thought that someone that is my "dogs trainer" would end up so personal, but I can call or text him anytime I have an issue or question about anything. He is so educated in what he does it blows my mind to even think that my dog is so well behaved now. I am starting the next class with him in June, and I know I will not be disappointed. He is a great trainer, loves his job and any dog that he meets. :)

The class itself was well run, informative and great fun for the dogs. All the dogs had great temperaments which ensured a safe learning experience for all. And it works... see below for what happened this morning! My dog is an adolescent, very large sighthound. This morning we were on a hike with her best friend, a similar aged pointer. We reached a clearing and right in front of us was a deer - both dogs immediately took off chasing it. Thanks to our recall work with COTW (and ongoing reinforcement) when I called her back from the chase she stopped in her tracks AND CAME RIGHT BACK! I'm so grateful that her recall training set her up for success! Thanks COTW!

Hyper, stubborn, nervous, "needy," aggressive tendencies were just a few of the issues we were facing before we sought Randy's help. He was able to see past the issues and assured us we have a great dog in our home. With a few home visits, tips and follow-ups, Randy was able to bring to light our dog's personality, and taught us how to nurture positive behavior. This dog is now obedient, eager to please, calmer, great on the leash and a balanced protector of our family. We now feel like we have control and are able to enjoy our time with our dog.

Jawaan has worked with multiple dogs in our family, so working with ESD was a no-brainer for us. We decided to send Athena to ESD for the board and train program as soon as we picked her up from the breeder. For us, this was perfect, and now, every time we head out of town, we bring Athena back to Jawaan (she doesn't even look back for me once she sees Jawaan) and his team. Your dog is not just being trained, it is being treated as if they are a part of Jawaan's family and that is huge for us! At just 8 months old, Athena is well-behaved around humans, both big and small, walks well on a leash, and is just an all-around good girl, all thanks to the entire ESD team!

The lack of comunication was frustrating They bill you and charge your credit cardbefore sevices are completed. They never answer the phone on the weekends and sometimes during there scheduled buisiness hours. I suggest having a camera due to the fact that I strongly believe that they were not honest about the number of scheduled visits I think they are under staffed and over whelmed. I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt but when i chosse to part ways they refused to return my keys and i had to pay for my locks to be changed.

We were pleased but the service has gone down a lot recently on reliability. During the past month, four walks were requested and never confirmed nor acknowledged.

Not sure if they are having software issues, but the lack of comms made them. It seem reliable which is something we want in a dog walking service.

I cannot say enough good things about Carson from Off Leash K9 Training's board and train program…read more Villa is a fast growing, energetic and excited 6 month old Bernese Mountain Dog puppy -and she can be a lot to handle. Carson handled her with ease, or at least made it look easy! Carson focuses on positive, effective techniques and took the time to educate us just as much as he trained our puppy. She absolutely loved him and the progress made in only 2 short weeks was incredible and we are so pleased. She learned 7 different commands and I continue to be amazed at how she responsds to each of them. It has been a huge help in getting her to settle and she has much better impulse control. We recently went out of town to visit family, and brought Villa with. I was a little nervous, wondering how she would do in a different environment, not on her home turf. I am so happy to share that she did fantastic! Our family could not stop complimenting her in how well mannered and behaved she was. This was no doubt all as a result of the training she did with Carson. Truly life changing for us!

If I could give zero stars, I would. I paid for the two‑week board‑and‑train program that…read moreadvertised "100% obedience" and required a significant financial investment. Instead, my dog came home less trained and with worse behaviors than before. The same day he returned home, he began chewing the carpet and showing new, undesirable behaviors. When we tried to use the methods and tools they gave us, including the e‑collar, he was terrified, and he bit us. He is now clearly fearful of the e‑collar, and he has also started to resource guard me, even biting someone who came near me--behaviors he never showed before attending this program. In my view, they appeared to rely on fear and intimidation rather than humane training, leaving me with a frightened dog who bites and no meaningful obedience training to show for it. When I contacted the trainer about these serious concerns, I was only offered "retraining," which does not address the fact that my dog was not successfully trained in the first place and actually came back worse.

I can't say enough great things about Morgans Dogs. They are great people, caring and loving to…read moreall their animals, and truly helped us with our anxious German Shepherd Onyx. We sent our 3 year old GSD for the 2 week training/boarding class and it was worth every penny. Onyx came home well behaved, more confident, and most importantly a joy to take on walks. Our experience from start to finish was great. They even posted pictures of our girl on Facebook so we could see how great our baby was doing over the 2 weeks. Some reviewers said their dogs were "different people" when they came back, so I was initially nervous that our girl would come home and not be the same sweet, loving GSD she is. But, Onyx came home a better version of herself! More confident, more obedient and still the same loving dog she was before. Just better! The important thing to remember is that training is a way of life with dogs. You have to be prepared to do "homework" each day with your dog when you bring them home to keep their training consistent and reinforce it. Morgans sets a great foundation and its up to you to maintain it. They tell you this upfront, so while yes, you'll have a great dog after 2 weeks, if you let it go, then you'll be back to square one. Have no fear though, the homework isn't hard. Only about 15 min twice a day, which is easy to mix into our daily routine. And believe me, you'll actually enjoy this kind of homework because your dog will respond fast and remember the training and you'll be more impressed each time. We've even implemented new tricks and obedience moves with Onyx and she learned them fast. Onyx is great outside too, she is less aggressive if we see other dogs (no more crossing the street), and even several neighbors have commented that our girl is now a gentle giant. Overall, I fully recommend Morgans to anyone who is considering training. No matter the age or difficulty of your dog, give Elana a call. She is great to talk to over the phone and made me feel reassured that Onyx would be in good hands. And she understood all the issues we discussed and didn't make me feel like it was my fault or that I was a bad owner because I can't get my dog to heel on walks. Elana is passionate about dogs and an amazing trainer. Oh, and did i mention, free classes for the life of your dogs... can't beat that offer!! Go see Morgans to turn your dog into the dog you always wanted. Thank you Morgans!!
