Lucy took to our trainer, Faith, immediately and Faith's love for & knowledge of dogs was evident from the start. I received photos & updates regularly in which Lucy was obviously having a great time. Lucy's confidence grew tremendously & her ability to focus and comply with what is expected from her has greatly increased. I am looking forward to further training opportunities with Lotus K9 Academy & would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who wants to have a better relationship with their dog.

I was on the verge of tears, the day I was informed my two year old Aussie/Lab mix was not being a…read moregood citizen at doggie daycare. He was guarding resources, dominating other dogs, and had zero recall. Now, after working with Rachel @Integra Dog Training, he's a gentleman that sits and waits at doorways, until I walk through first and release him. He greets others, while sitting. He heels beside me as we go grocery shopping. He sits or downs and stays, while I walk away and out of sight, until I return to him and he is released. Most importantly, when I call him, he comes running to me and lands a sit in front of me. Rachel tailored our training to our life, visiting our home and addressing any issues or specific needs. She even taught him to safely enjoy kayak fishing with me. In the past month, my dog has been completely transformed into an amazing companion and I have been taught the tools to properly handle an intelligent, confident dog that has incredible drive. My dog is happier, with the consistent structure and leadership. I couldn't be more thrilled with the results!

I was really worried we were wasting our money because I felt like she was too old and too far gone with bad behaviors, however, she did GREAT!! It takes practice for sure, I can't wait to see the "finished product." Howard is such a pleasure to work with. He makes you feel comfortable. He's very thorough and answers your questions with a direct, honest answer. I will forever recommend him to my friends, family, a random person on the street. For the price of EVERYTHING you're getting, it's amazing. He does this job because he loves doing it. It's not just a "pay check" to him. If you're looking for training that actually works (not Petco/Petsmart) he's the guy. He offers in-home training, private lessons at the training center and said he will soon do virtual training. He trains police dogs. Howard is NO joke. Hopefully this review SOLD you and you pick him.

Not that she is cured, but we now have the tools and training to get the desired results and she is making leaps and bounds in her behavior on the leash and in the house! Our puppy failed to get better with two other trainers after four very expensive private sessions, but Dan was able to get her to stop barking within minutes. He was so great with our sweet little girl and we can finally take her on walks without the embarrassment and fear that she will start barking uncontrollably. If you have a reactive dog hire Dogs Mind now, you will be glad you did.

When we took…read moreour 6-month-old (now almost a year old) German Shepard to them, he was very reactive, scared of going out to stores, the vet, or meeting new people... All of these were a nightmare for me (and him). Now we can go out to stores, do outdoor activities, and even with groups of people. I was so impressed with how they turned his training around that I have also taken his "sister" a 4-month-old German Shepard to have her trained as well (dropped her off for training at 12 weeks old to start her off right). I took 2 handfuls (fur babies) in and got 2 very well-behaved best friends back. After 6 months we are now in protection training, and it is going great. The classes are very informative and, most importantly, fun because let's be honest, if you're not having fun then your pet is not having fun and now, you're not going to classes. Everybody I have interacted with at MuttWorks has been very professional, friendly and more importantly, THEY LOVE AND TREAT EVERY SINGLE DOG THEY TRAIN LIKE THEIR OWN.

I dropped the class in September 2025 & began working weekly with Shawn. Shawn was unfamiliar with the sport BUT she's worked with Shelties & knows the gentleness of my breed. Her method of fear free training & positive reinforcement was exactly what I needed. She provided effective training solutions based on my individual needs to build my confidence. Attended my 1st flyball tournament in March 2026 & was amazing!!! I completed the pattern multiple times with a box loader, spectators, & running against a dog in the other lane. The best part is that I'm not afraid of the game but truly enjoy it now. So many people congratulated Mommy on my improvement. My improvement & joy of the sport is all due to working with Shawn & her dog, Ollie. We're so grateful to Shawn for her dedication & commitment to help her clients put their best paw forward.
