We are so grateful for Fathom K9 and their team. Over the last few years, our sweet 5 yo pit mix,…read moreWillow, had become dog aggressive. After an unprovoked fight, we decided to seek out some help. She went through the three week board and train program and came back so much better behaved and trained. We now understand how to properly correct our pup and have full confidence that we can control her through any situation. Simms and Samantha were incredible. They went above and beyond to accommodate and we really feel that they looked after our dog as if it were there own. I also feel that OUR training after was crucial, and they did a great job teaching us too. They have continued to follow up with us and answer questions well after getting our dog back.

Ellie was an amazing find! She recently relocated from California to Charleston. I recently rescued…read morea Boston Terrier who had been a stray saved from a shelter by a fostering organization called Black Tie Boston Rescue. I was so happy that Ellie only used positive reinforcement, and like me, does not rely on electronic "shock" collars. In 4 weeks of private, very reasonably priced training, Tillan learned not to lunge in fear at strangers or dogs. He learned to heal and walk calmly beside me, mastering "Leave It", heal, side, sit and SHH. I can take him for walks in the park, farmers markets and outdoor events/ restaurants. Next up is Service dog training for my hearing impairment. There is a 4 year wait for these service dogs, and I knew Boston Terriers were a smart breed.

She empowered me as an owner with positive means of communication and training skills to help guide my dog through training and daily scenarios. Having a high energy, leash reactive dog is often overwhelming and initially felt like a lost cause. Ellie came to the rescue and immediately broke through that defeat and positively changed the attitude for both myself and my dog to navigate these behaviors moving forward. Four fantastic weeks of training, I know have the knowledge and skills to confidently walk my young shepherd on leash past other dogs and feel prepared in any situation. Thank you Ellie! 10/10

It became very clear that this sweet girl had no training (even her foster mom had JUST potty trained her). Knowing that we had a headstrong, older dog, I didn't think the regular PetSmart/Petco standard training would work. Someone from the rescue recommended Nildan at Z&E and holy cow, she gets dogs! She focuses more on positivity training and getting the dog to do things on their own by playing to their instincts. Even after the first class, our girl was picking things up quickly! For $120, we got 5 weeks of classes (plus a week for orientation- 6 weeks total). For this price, Nildan is the best kept secret in dog training. She offers several different levels of training as well as individual at home training. I highly recommend her-- my dog adored her!!

We are beyond impressed with what a great job Jeff did with our dog! We realized very quickly that…read morewe were in over our head when it came to training our adorable, but stubborn, new puppy Maggie. We are a busy family with a toddler and I wanted to make sure Maggie got the training and attention she needed to succeed. Finding Jeff was like an answered prayer! He listened to all of our concerns and went out of his way to make sure Maggie became an excellent family dog. We are now able to take our pup wherever we go and strangers always comment on how well behaved she is! You can tell Jeff truly loves dogs and has endless patience when it comes to training rambunctious, high energy puppies! I can't say enough how beyond impressed we were! I would absolutely recommend his training program and will be using him again with any future dogs we get.

It's really surprising they boast a long history of business if they don't even return phone calls; I wonder how they make any business?

I waited a long time to write this review... Jonathan had our dog maybe 6 months ago and he's now a…read moreyear old. I wanted to not just write a simple review but to really be honest and sincere because we researched for months to find the right place to train our pup. Our dog is a German Shepherd - Great Pyrenees mix and while he was doing well at wanting to please, he was super stubborn, guarded our home and WOULD not come back for any recall. Now, now, he's the most well behaved and amazing dog, he comes back 100% of the time with just the word "here" and he can jump up where I tell him, he barks once at passers by, but knows that's all. He can do off leash like a pro, today I took him to the trails and he stayed right beside me off leash the entire time I asked. Right now he's sitting in his "place" as he does whenever someone comes to the door. These are all things I tried training him before we sent him to Jonathan that did not work or stick no matter how hard I tried. Right now, I can open the front door, invite him out, and he will stay with me, if he does walk away, he'll come right back when asked. All of this would not be possible without Jonathan. There are some caveats I would say though. If you read the reviews you'll see Jonathan isn't the greatest communicator, and I won't disagree, he's really a dog person, not a people person, but for the care of my dog I want a dog person; if he was great with me but awful with my dog I'd be pissed. His services are expensive. And it will take longer than expected, so expect to bring the dog food and meds and maybe buy him a bed for being at Jonathan's, but it's very much a trust the process, he tells you up front, but he won't bring the dog home till the dog is ready. The other reason I waited for the review is so I could review the extended care and warranty. Upon his return I was unhappy with my dogs progress and I called Jonathan and he came back to me for another whole session to help. Not surprisingly, I was not doing it right... and the true value of his work is what you put into it after, we have been texting and videos and emails with him for the last six months and he's been able to guide us and has invited us to come back for more sessions to fine tune our concerns. If you just give him the dog and then don't expect to train after, you'll loose, because that's just not real, but if you use the essential and reinforce them you'll have a dog you love to be with every day. He mostly gave us the language to talk to our dog, and now we can work with him with ease. I would suggest if you want to invest in your dog, your life, your friendship and relationship with the dog, invest in Jonathan.
