I called to enroll in the classes, but found that online was the preferred method. I went online and signed up, put in payment info, now what? A few emails later I saw where I needed to watch a couple of videos in order to get into the training. Okay, done.. I waited for instructions as the class time was quickly approaching. Nothing.. training day arrived, I found my way to Gigi's. Pretty impressive facility, multiple buildings, and multiple parking areas. I will admit it was a bit confusing. Luckily someone from the neighboring building came out and explained where to go. We got situated in the class and made it through. Positive reinforcement training is the preferred method, and the tips and information provided by Rebecca is top notch! My only reason for not going 5 stars here is that the signup portion of this experience was lacking a bit in my opinion. I'm old school, I like to speak with someone, get a name and a face. Working strictly online feels cold and impersonal to me. The classes most definitely make up for it as my dog and I do get lots of personal attention during class sessions!

He sends you detailed daily recap videos which is an incredibly useful for when practicing at home. Dana used both controlled corrections and positive reinforcement. He let us know that at any point after the program we can text or call him with any questions (including questions pertaining to our other dog). He shows that he really cares for your dog and what your family needs in order to make your day to day life easier. We will definitely be sending our dog to more of his classes and are looking to sign up our other dog. I highly recommend his services, you will not regret it!

It's very evident that Allison's goal is to have both owner and puppy "trained" with realistic expectations. In our case, she exceeded our expectations completely! In 8 days at Marcum K9 Obedience Bindi has learned sit, down, place, walk on loose leash, and so much more! I know it was WELL worth the 3 hour drive. We will be back for second board and train in a couple weeks for continued service/therapy training. Another bonus is that Bindi absolutely loves Allison. I can relax knowing she is well taken care of and learning more than I ever expected. Thank you Allison .. Marcum K9 Obedience!

Our trainer, Lisa, was AMAZING and so kind and helpful. Despite having multiple people in the class, she took time to observe each dog and give positive feedback and guidance.

It definitely requires you to put in the majority work at home with your dog but they do an amazing job of showing u how to do it!

...you had me saying goodbye at "your dog is medicated right?" No. "Maybe you should look into…read morethat." My response here isn't going to be any different really than the other low marked reviews, other than we were in the aggressive dog training and not puppy dog training. I had high hopes after pre- screening other facilities. I didn't know too much or was well versed on positive dog training coming into that first meeting and wish i did before we committed. I will say this, that before going into any sort of training for your dog. Research. Research. Research. I clearly did not and ended up spending an extra $150 on treats. I would have been good on going to just the 3hr orientation. She taught a lot of good info, but it's a lot. Bring a snack. ;) If you know and come to understand the breed (or breeds if mixed) you and your dog can work to correct the behaviors. Positive dog training is adding something positive to increase the behavior (reinforce) you want or stop a behavior (punishment) although we're taught it's not really punishing. The class felt like I was constantly just giving him treats all the time for no reason but to distract him from other dogs barking but to me it felt like i was rewarding him FOR barking when other dogs bark, not distracting him from doing it. One key thing I will say that affected me negatively was the attitude from the trainers to us dog owners. Some days he seemed to have a good attitude and most times not. (read other reviews for more info on that) There was lack of organization after orientation; no follow-ups ever and no one during class came to check on us hardly. Even if i asked, it was moved like a few inches so i didn't really feel like we made progress. The last class we took was great. The trainer wasn't there but 4 others were and they all came around to check and ask us questions, move our barriers. They should just do that all the time. We came to class once with our barrier set in the middle of two other dogs - there was a gap in the barrier and the dogs saw each other and went bazurk. AND both dogs on either side had loud dog tags on. the trainers didn't do much to take care of it... in orientation they explicitly told us no tags being an aggressive dog class we needed as little distraction as possible. Anyways, since the classes a year ago, I've dived head first into dog training books in order to train myself and I'm happy to report I understand my dog and the energy I bring into the space with my dog. All things associated if you want to cohabitate with an animal in your house. Here are some things I looked into and what i can recommend; - do your research about your dog. know them. - Follow Pack Leader dogs on Instagram. Found it randomly and I have learned SO MUCH from him! - Read the book 'Be the pack leader'. Great stuff! - YouTube Cesar Millan on Ed Mylett's show titled "you can do whatever you want!" - I read books on what dogs hear and how they interpret sound - very interesting. There's music out there to help block noises outside if you have a barker (YouTube) - Like anything you're trying to learn, it takes patience and time. Research. Get educated. Find what works for you and your dog. Save your money on these guys. Enjoy life with your furry friend!!

But, what I got back after the 20 day program was a much happier, more confident and calm dog. Things that used to cause him severe distress are now actually enjoyable: meeting new people, crossing paths with other dogs, going out in public, and even having guests at home. My only regret is that I did not do this sooner. I felt selfish thinking I was doing this for myself and that my dog might not be able to handle it. If I had any idea how much this program was going to improve his daily life, I would've done it much sooner.
