We worked with Tom to prepare our dog for some major life changes, and the experience was beyond…read morewhat we hoped for. From leash skills to preparing for a new baby, he addressed every concern with patience, expertise, and real results. Our dog had a strong prey drive and would lunge at squirrels, birds--basically anything that moved. Walks were stressful and chaotic. After working with Tom, we now enjoy calmer, controlled walks, and continue to work in high-distraction areas. Obedience was another focus--commands like "come," "place," and especially "down" have become reliable, and working still in challenging situations. Tom really emphasized consistency and practice for best results, which helped a lot! Overall, Tom gave us the tools and confidence we needed to help our dog thrive in a changing household. He clearly loves dogs, but just as importantly, he knows how to teach humans. If you're looking for help with obedience, leash manners, behavioral quirks, or preparing for a baby, Tom is absolutely worth it.

There are tons of classes from puppy kindergarten, basic obedience, agility, nose work, fly ball, you name it. Everyone in all the classes has been very encouraging as have all the instructors. It is a great community for dog owners who love their dogs, want to train and work with them, and have a lot of fun. We have learned so much and just began trialing in agility. Whether you're a first time dog owner or a seasoned pro, there is sure to be a class that fits your needs. Make sure to keep an eye on their website as they do semester based classes and it can be tough to get a spot in the popular classes. If your dog has any behavioral issues, you won't be automatically disqualified from class but please disclose it to your instructor to keep yourself and others safe. There is a lot of free parking and a designated potty area right outside. The location is also great right off 95. Overall, I've had a really great experience and am very impressed with the club!

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.

20 months ago my wife bought a puppy golden retriever. It was our 2nd dog since our first one died…read morea few months earlier. The new puppy was a pain in the ass. Somehow the wife found Loinhart and she convinced me to come to interview Linda, the owner with her. When Linda told me she's been training dogs for over 25 years, I asked her how much, she swiped my credit card and I left the dog with her. I picked the dog up 10 weeks later. He learned 10 words. And he learned them well! Now the dog is 20 months old and is unbelievably and extremely well behaved. I attribute Leo the dog's manners and attention and calmness and even his health to the 10 weeks that he spent being trained there. If you want a really well behaved dog I highly recommend this lady. She has some funny rules like don't come inside her facility until you're called but if you listen to her, she won't disappoint you. Now 20 months later, the older the dog gets the better he behaves. It's unbelievable how the 10 words he knows takes care of every situation that the dog gets into that needs correcting. Tell her Yasmin's husband recommended her.

We have been very happy with Molly's boarding, daycare, and grooming. Our latest adventure with…read morethem was training. Mel at Molly's trained our very rambunctious puppy. We did a kind of immersion training where he got 2 full days of training and play every week for 5 weeks. I'll be honest, the price seemed steep to me. But Molly's is the best for daycare and boarding, so we decided to give them a try for training, too. We made the right choice! After Jasper's training, a friend accidentally let him out of the house. I was upstairs at the time, and Jasper took off. By the time I got outside, he was almost 2 blocks away. I yelled, "Jasper, come!" just like Mel taught me, and that dog stopped on a dime and ran straight back to me. Amazing! He also will stay in "place" on a blanket at home or out at a brewery, and heels so well that my little nephew was able to handle him on the leash easily when we took him for his first hike. I know Mel gives him a free tuneup every time he goes to play or board, and there are free follow-up group classes, too. I think it worked so well because Mel basically gave us a trained dog, and all we have to do is be consistent with the simple commands she taught us. And Jasper clearly adores her. Once again, Molly's proved they're the best. Period.

It was so great to see someone always watching over the dogs and letting some dogs take breaks if needed. The space itself is so clean and the welcome area is bright and fun. I love the mural they have as well. I will absolutely use Mollys again! The care and attention that they put into watching your pup is a gift!

I…read morewas her third home (which I still can't comprehend why) and she had pretty bad general anxiety and separation anxiety. Given her size and anxiety, I knew I would need some help. I was given a business card for East Coast Academy of Dog Training. The best recommendation ever. Initially, Paige was unmanageable on a leash. Her fear and anxiety caused her to be hyper reactive to wildlife, sounds, sudden movements. She would not respond to commands and she pulled me wherever she wanted to go. The first time Rob walked into my house, the whole energy changed. Rob has the most wonderful voice. He is soft-spoken. He never raises his voice. He has endless patience. Paige loved him from the first moment. For the first several visits, we worked inside on basic behaviors - come, sit, wait, etc. Paige caught on pretty quickly. So did I! It was as much about me learning as it was Paige. Rob always leaves detailed notes covering the lessons of the day. And consistent practice between visits is paramount. Then we began working on leash training for walks. Rob has given me valuable tools to make walks a positive experience for both Paige and I. We are still a work in progress and, weather permitting, I make a point of walking every day. Paige is so much happier and so much calmer. After 5 visits, I kept telling Rob that I needed more training. In his wonderful, calm way, he said that I didn't need more. That I had the tools to be successful and that he was only a phone call away if I needed to talk through anything. Rob never pushes additional visits if he feels you are ready to fly on your own. He has decades of experience. Go check out his website for additional detail. I appreciate Rob so much. He has made both Paige and I so much more confident. I cannot recommend Rob Hirsch and East Coast Academy of Dog Training enough!!!!

If you're looking for a more supervised daycare environment, structured play, hands-on one-on-one,…read moreor group training, I would highly recommend them. It's very clear how much the staff knows, and how deeply they care about every single dog that walks through their doors. Over the past few months, this is the fourth daycare we've tried for our dog. The first one we chose to leave. The next two either wouldn't accept her or ultimately asked her not to return. Our dog is an over 80-lb American Bully, and she truly doesn't have an aggressive bone in her body. We started daycare and boarding when she was about 8 months old. At nearly 50 lbs already, she was placed with the large dogs. In this large group play, the challenge wasn't aggression; it was that she was young, playful, and didn't always understand when another dog didn't want to engage. Two facilities told us they couldn't keep her in group play because other dogs would become reactive when she missed social cues and it wasn't safe for them or the dogs. After the second rejection, we reached out to friends and were highly encouraged to try Pet-U-Cation. We were told upfront that the training and care are exceptional, but as a small business with limited overhead and office staff, communication can sometimes require patience (which has also been our experience). Her evaluation went great. After two day-training sessions, she became a regular at daycare, and she absolutely loves it! The growth we've seen in her socialization and ability to read other dogs has been incredible. It's also reinforced the training we're doing at home and helping her overall learning and development (consistency really is key). We love that there is no more coming home from daycare with newly acquired bad habits.
