ADU came highly recommended by a friend when I was looking for a boarding and training facility for my 4-year-old corgi, who was dealing with several behavior issues. He had become quite stubborn, was jumping and lunging on walks, and was reactive both on and off leash. Walks were stressful, and I had to time them at odd hours to avoid encountering neighbors. Now, three weeks after his stay at ADU, our walks are a completely different experience! My pup is confident, happy, and even checks in with me when we approach another dog. We've gotten so many compliments from neighbors about how calm he is on walks. Choosing ADU for boarding and training was absolutely the best decision I could have made. I've even brought him back for daycare, and it was heartwarming to see how excited he was to greet the staff--it really showed me that he felt loved and cared for throughout the process. For anyone curious about the details, I've added a more in-depth breakdown of my experience below. Before Boarding: After talking with Aaron about my pup's behavior, we decided on a three-week boarding session. I also scheduled two private sessions before the stay--one so ADU could assess my pup and another to help him get familiar with the space. Honestly, this also helped ease my nerves, especially since I was told there wouldn't be cameras for me to check in on him. In hindsight, I'm actually glad there were no cameras; it allowed me to trust the process fully and focus on his growth. During Boarding: Throughout the three weeks, I received regular updates with pictures, videos, and notes on what my dog was learning and how he was adjusting to training. If I had any questions, ADU was just a text or phone call away. I always felt informed, and I was thrilled to see how happy and smiley my pup was in the updates! Post Boarding: For pick-up, we spent over an hour with Aaron and Melody going over the new commands and expectations to help ensure a smooth transition back home. Their "Guide to Success" was also incredibly helpful for keeping the momentum going. This time spent together really helped solidify everything we had learned, and I felt confident and ready to continue reinforcing his progress at home. read more

Wow! I could not be more impressed with Aaron! He reached out to me a few weeks ago after I had put a picture up of my dog on FB. I was considering rehoming him secondary to some leash aggression and obedience issues. I was not sure what to do & just unsure of how to handle my dog. He was so caring and truly wanted to help, so I would not regret giving my dog away without trying some training out first! Aaron is very competent, professional and good at his job, but he also truly cares about the owner just as much and only wants the best for them too!! He allowed me to vent and cry to him once our session was complete. I was just so overwhelmed with the situation, but once the training was complete and seeing my dog happy as well as worn out, it just made me cry!! He just listened and even let me hug him! Lol! He is so easy to talk to and made the session with Lincoln and I very comfortable and easy! I have been so stressed about my dogs aggression and disobedience on a leash and thought I would have to rehome him, but after a 2 hour session with my sweet Lincoln, there is truly hope for him and for us!!! Aaron is truly the sweetest and most compassionate dog trainer I have ever met! If you are looking for a dog trainer, he is your guy! I promise he will treat you right and you will feel so much better even after just one session! It's amazing how he can help transform your dog in one lesson! Thank you Aaron! I truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you! read more

Aaron is such a dedicated, patient, knowledgable trainer, I am forever thankful for the changes he has made in our lives as a family with our pup Cooper. We have a high energy labrador retriever puppy who learned very quickly how to take charge of our home to get attention. He would bark to get out of his crate incessantly at 5:30 am., counter surf non-stop to steal paper towels, and was pulling up and eating grass in our backyard. If we put him in the crate and tried to watch tv in the same room he would bark. I was literally hiding in my bedroom when I was home so he wouldn't see me and need me. He had a very short attention span and would never just lie down on the floor, he needed to be watched every single second. When Aaron brought our pup home after the 2 weeks, Cooper absolutely adored him, and was amazingly obedient. Every single problem behavior we listed was drastically reduced or non-existent upon his return home. Our friends and neighbors have commented on how smart and well behaved he is in listening to our commands, that for a 10 month old puppy he behaves like he's much older than that. You do not need to wait 2 years for your dog to "settle down." While Cooper still has a lot of energy and needs socialization and exercise, he now knows how to settle down on his own and be relaxed in our home. read more

Aaron at All Dogs Unleashed is amazing! We adopted our 7 year old German Shorthair Pointer recently and he was only housebroken. He had absolutely no leash manners and is extremely stubborn. We chose to do the in home training since we wanted to be more hands on. I used to have people tell me on the trails "I remember those days" (training). Now all I hear is "Good dog!" It really is an amazing feeling to be told you have a well mannered dog. Copper has calmed down so much and is listening better than ever. He still has some work to do, but the turnaround time for improvement has far exceeded my expectations! We recently boarded our dog with Aaron for 5 days since we were out of town and couldn't take him with. Aaron worked with him, sent us updates and pictures. I was a little nervous about boarding since he was a mess and full of anxiety at the shelter. We could tell Copper received lots of attention and was well taken care of while we were gone. He was even returned home recently bathed! Aaron obviously cares about the dogs he trains and loves his job. He is so patient with Copper and me. I have called him with a ton of questions and always takes the time to call me back and ensure I understand the answer. I highly recommend Aaron! It is worth every penny and the results speak for themself! read more

I first heard about All Dogs Unleashed KC through a friend. We were walking downtown one day, and her dog was so calm and well-behaved--even as we sat on a busy dog-friendly patio. I asked her where she had trained her pup, and she raved about Aaron and ADU. I remember thinking, If I ever get a dog, that's exactly where I'll take them. Fast forward to bringing home my Cavapoo, Banks. As adorable as she is, we were really struggling with things like barking at neighbors, nipping, and making progress with basic commands--especially with my full-time work schedule. That's when I knew I needed to get in touch with them. Banks went through the 2-week board and train program, and the difference has been amazing. She came home a new dog--still sweet and full of personality, but now with the ability to listen, follow commands, and truly communicate. It's made our bond so much stronger, and I honestly love her even more now that life together is less chaotic and more connected. I also love that we can board her at ADU when we travel, knowing she's not only being cared for, but also getting refresher training to keep her sharp. It gives me so much peace of mind. If you're thinking about training or boarding, I can't recommend All Dogs Unleashed KC enough. They changed everything for us. read more

I can't say enough about All Dogs Unleashed! They saved us from potentially having to find our dog a new home. Our pup Layla is almost 2 and she is a wild one. Lots of energy and we just didn't know how to control her. I had research several board and train places and they were all so over priced and you got what you got, not guarantees. One day my dad said he had seen a dog train out and about with a couple dogs and they were so well behaved. He got some info for me and I called All Dogs Unleashed the next day. We met with Aaron, who's is the head trainer, a few days later and he reassured us that we could change her behavior. They worked with us soo well from the start! Seeing that our dog needed a little more work than your typical puppy, no problem Aaron kept Layla a few extra days to work with her and she came home a changed dog! Now Layla has so much more control over her energy and if a much happier dogs. Now all my fiancé and I need to do is reinforce what Aaron has done for use. I highly recommend All Dogs Unleashed for anyone having issues with their dog, or anyone getting a new puppy. They are Life savers!! read more

We could not have asked for better results with All Dogs Unleashed! After 2 weeks with Aaron and Ben, our dog Kona came back extremely well behaved with the same lovable personality. Kona walks calmly on a leash, isn't phased by distractions and is overall happier because she knows her role! From the moment they came to pick up our dog, you could tell how much they love dogs and how dedicated they are to helping. Although it was sad to see her go, we knew she would be in good hands! We received picture and video updates to help the time pass. At the end of the two week training camp, Aaron and Ben both spent many hours with us to make sure we fully understood the training techniques and didn't leave until we were 100% comfortable! My wife and I are extremely excited to keep up with the training and will definitely recommend All Dogs Unleashed to anyone and everyone! The best part is we can call or text and meet up with Aaron and Ben to continue to reinforce training. You can tell they care and really love what they are doing! Thank you both! read more

Anyone who has a dog understands how quickly they become a new member of the family. Also anyone who has ever had a sibling understands how jealousy can bring the worst out of someone. All of this is to say my husband and I were devastated when our sweet year old puppies started having sibling rivalry. The fighting between them got progressively worse over six months and we decided to find a professional to help .We are so grateful we found Aaron and dogs unleashed. After a particularly bad fight we decided to board them with Aaron for three weeks to give them a fresh start and a better training foundation. Our dogs came back almost unrecognizable. They were so calm, confident and well trained. It made me tear up a few times. I was so relieved and happy to see them doing so well. We were worried we may have had to find a new home for one of them and this was one of our last resorts. We are all one happy family now and I couldn't recommend a better trainer than Aaron and dogs unleashed. read more

Aaron helped us with our dog Luna at the Texas location. Luna was a 2 year old rescue with severe separation anxiety and destructive habits, and overall a very nervous and fearful dog. We were nervous to drop her off at a kennel for 2 weeks, thinking that she would think she got abandoned again, but we are so glad we did it. Aaron was very patient and understood our struggle, and provided a lot of information and assurance as we made our decision to move forward. Fast forward to now, she has absolutely blossomed and through our hard work based on the training Aaron gave both Luna and us when she returned home, she has a lot of confidence, and can even stay at home alone outside of her kennel. One important thing to note is that Luna stil loves going back to daycare at All Dogs Unleashed, and is so happy to see Aaron and all the other employees there, so I know she was treated well during her time there. read more

I took my one year old pit bull to Aaron and learned very quickly that he is very organized and thorough in his training approach. We met and spoke on the phone multiple times before signing up, during training, graduation day and afterwards during Lotti's maintenance phase (aka home training). Besides Lotti's high energy as a one year old pittie, she also had a unique issue of spraying/marking in our house when in the presence of my wife. This was driving us crazy and we were running out of options until we found Aaron. The problem is not completely gone, but it is under control and we have learned that it is up to us to continue the training process EVERY DAY to get the results that we saw during her training. I continue to use All Dogs Unleashed for boarding purposes which also serves as a good refresher for Lotti. I highly recommend Aaron and All Dogs Unleashed. read more

Aaron is amazing! I hate writing reviews but this is worth every single penny!!! If I could give this place 10 stars I'd do it in a heartbeat. I have a one year old pit bull who is so sweet but EXTREMELY hyperactive. He's always jumping and pulling on the leash, making it impossible for us to go on walks or basically anywhere. After reading all the other yelp reviews, I decided to take a leap of faith and give their board and train service a try. I was not disappointed! Aaron, the trainer, did an amazing job! After 2 and a half weeks, my furbaby was sitting, staying, and laying down on command. Not only that, but he walked side by side with me with minimal pulling! Aaron also went through every little detail as far as training methods and tips and tricks for about 2 hours when I went to pick him up. I would HIGHLY recommend this place to everyone, from boarding to training. read more

My dog was behaving very nicely at the groomers. This gentleman was dropping his dog off and noticed how my dog was behaving. He asked me if I had ever heard of dogs unleashed. I told him no. I researched this company and ran into Aaron. Aaron introduced me the the E Collar. I was totally against negative training. Aaron assured me that this was a very humane way to train your pet and get great results. My dogs were jumping, barking and bolting out the door and gate. After just one session at home all these problems were gone. I couldn't believe how effective the E-collar was. I continued working with Aaron for 2 more home visits. I couldn't believe how well my dogs reacted to the E-collar. I continue to use All dogs unleashed. I highly recommend Aaron to anyone who wants to have full control of their pets on and off leash. read more

All Dogs Unleashed's training is one of the best things I've ever spent money on. Before my 8 month old Bichon Frisé was trained by Aaron at All Dogs Unleashed, he was so disobedient, mean to my other dog, and would destroy anything from cars to furniture to doors. My puppy also was not very affectionate with me or my other dog. Aaron worked with him for two weeks and kept me updated and answered all my questions. He returned a very obedient puppy that does what he is told and is now very loving, affectionate, and a complete pleasure to be around and love on. Aaron worked with me for a couple hours until I felt comfortable having my dog back. I've had a couple of questions since the training and Aaron has been prompt to respond and help me. This service was worth every penny and I will be using every time with future puppies. read more

We have had our two dogs, Harley and Bubba train and board with All Dogs Unleashed and the transformation has been incredible. They now walk well on the leash, they even run off leash, and come back to me, when called. It is so much more enjoyable taking them out, knowing I can trust them and be proud of my dogs. They are both very energetic young dogs, a Malinois and a GSD and the training has helped them be off leash to get that energy out, and also be calm in the house, when asked. They place when we have friends over, and they are much more settled and relaxed. We also board them there and take them to day care. They always come back happy and exhausted from all the fun. Very trustworthy and caring staff. read more

All I can say is WOW!!! We met Aaron at BarK and I was so impressed with his dogs so we got in conversation and next thing I knew, Gemma was signed up for training. Gemma was ok at listening to commands but I wanted more and Aaron delivered!!! Gemma now walks with no leash, stays i the front yard without running off and listens to commands on first try. I love taking Gemma everywhere with me and showing her off with how disciplined she is. I had friends who were nervous to stop by the house because of Gemma's aggressiveness but now they see how much she has changed and love to stop by and say hello! Because of such amazing results, my brother will be using the same company in Austin. Thank you Aaron!! read more

After looking at other board and training facilities we knew that all dogs unleashed in KC was the one for Mabel! Aaron is very informative and knowledgeable regarding their training process and what the experience will be like for your pup! After getting our puppy back from a 2 week board and training, we noticed immediately most of those stubborn puppy behaviors disappear! I appreciate their process of how they teach the dog owners the commands used and how to best train your dog. Our dog has since had better control over crazy puppy energy. Our puppy is only getting better since she's been home! Looking forward to taking her back for anytime we would need to board her. Highly recommend! read more

I used Aaron when he was at the Carrollton Texas location. He did a great job with my pup Jake. He is gentle and caring with the dogs and has a good outlook and attitude. Jake did the 2 week board & train learning the basic things that were on the list for him to learn and continues to do well after a month at home. Remember this is BASIC training, so keep your expectations modest, your dog is not going to come home in shape to compete in obedience trials or behave like the dogs on the videos they point you to before you sign up. If you keep you expectations in line with the actual list of things they explain to you that they will work on then you will be happy. read more

Aaron could not have been better!! Jasper always had a lot of energy and we couldn't always control it or channel it, but after training, Jasper behaves like a whole new dog! He still has his infectious energy and love of play, but now he doesn't jump, bark unnecessarily, or pull on walks. The adjustment period didn't take too long, and Aaron stayed with us the day we got him back until we felt like we knew what to do. We are SO thankful for his impeccable service, prompt response, disciplined training, and strong communication while Jasper was away. If you need to train your dog, All Dogs Unleashed will meet and exceed your expectations! read more

I have to begin by stressing how picky I am about where I leave my dog (Ranger), and who I leave him with. After spending some time with Aaron reviewing Ranger's problem areas and what my expectations were, I had no reservations about leaving him for a two week board and train program. Aaron was so kind and patient with him. He would send me pictures, videos, and updates almost every day. When the two weeks came to an end I was thoroughly pleased with the results! Couldn't recommend anyone more highly! The facility was clean, organized, and had very friendly staff as well. I wouldn't take my dog anywhere else! read more
