Our Training Journey with Advance Canine Developments Mark,…read moreHayley, Erica, and Ali, we wanted to take this time to express our heartfelt thanks for the exceptional service and dedication that all of you provided in training our dogs Mio and Enzo. Your expertise, patience, and dedication put us in a positive direction with both. When Mio came to you, he was grieving with the loss of his brother Tuffy. He was sad, aggressive, and lost. You helped him gain his confidence back and let him find his happiness again with us. We brought an eight-week-old puppy, Enzo to our home about a month after the loss of our 12 year old Shih Tzu Tuffy. The puppy is adorable but has some personality quirks that have challenged us. You gave us the tools and information to help us deal with his severe separation anxiety. It is a journey for both of us. Your approach to training humans is paramount in the success and journey of training dogs. The human part of the training is to set yourself back to "zero". We had to acknowledge that we knew nothing about the training journey we were embarking on. All the dogs and experience before is just what it was ...before! We are learning to use our experience and knowledge to apply to our puppy, Enzo, and our six-year-old Mio who are different dogs with different personalities. We are grateful for the positive impact you've had on both of our dog's behavior and our overall relationship. Mio and Enzo will continue their training journey with us and an occasional refresher back at the training facility at Advanced Canine Development! Regards, Jack and Bridget Pantaleo Punta Gorda, Florida

We can't say enough about Mark and all the great trainers at ACD. My son and I found Mark online…read more I called and spoke with him and setup a consultation. We had looked into a couple trainers, but knew that our Maya needed someone special to help bring out her personality. She was a shy, scared and nervous puppy when she checked into her Board and Train ("Boot Camp" is what we called it). What a difference even just a week made! We were able to visit Maya each weekend at the Gilchrist park/Farmers Market walk. Every time you could tell how much she had changed. Mark even took time with our son Hayden to coach him on how to work with her and his skills of handling her in the show ring. Every day we received videos and photos of our baby girl. If we had questions or concerns the staff was always quick to respond. Our girl stayed an extra week, which she needed, since she's going to be such a big girl (Great Dane). We have recommended ACD to several friends and would definitely recommend you give them a try if you have a dog that needs some help with manners.

When we got them back they went from completely untrained to trained in every way! Door manners, in the car, on the leash, and other basic commands, you name it! They were crazy about food and now they will sit in front of food and wait to eat it when they are told. It's amazing! We then brought them back for a tune up when our son was born. It was awesome knowing they were with people who knew them and loved them. Our dog Charlie ran and jumped in the lake immediately! Happy as can be. A huge shoutout to Derrick! When our son was born 4 weeks early he went out of his way to pick our dogs up when we were stuck at the hospital. He truly loves the dogs and cares about the families. You can tell this is his passion and it shows through his work! Lastly, Anthony has been fantastic to work with throughout too! Due to him and Derrick we will continue bringing our dogs back here when we need boarding knowing they are in the BEST hands. If you're looking for a great training facility with the best people, look no further. You found them!

We walked in (no appointment needed for several services), were assisted immediately and the entire visit was fantastic start to finish. We worked with Kylee in the grooming area and she made the extra effort to help ease my girl when we arrived, and the grooming was fast and trimmed to perfection. We have visited this Petco on prior visits and this is by far our favorite pet store - every staff member we have encountered has been warm and helpful. If in need of a groom when visiting, or if you are looking for a new local groomer, we highly recommend!

My little Frenchie needed a lot of help if he wanted to continue to be invited to Grandmas house. Since Eric started working with Piggy and training me, the change has been remarkable. Eric utilises positive reinforcement and is extremely fun to work with. The change in just two visits has been remarkable. On the third visit Piggy has learned to sit, stay, and come. This is remarkable considering how rambunctious my little guy was. My love and relationship with my pup has increased 10 fold. This is all due to Eric at Elite. He also has a website speakingdog101.com. He really teaches you how to speak to your dog. Look no further for a trainer. He is also a great value. Athens quotes were insane. Eric is the best!
