Do not recommend this trainer. We were promised a partial refund for services not rendered and we never received it.

We are so happy we found Dennis! Our Golden doodle Hailey is also very happy. Dennis is a unique trainer who obviously loves what he does. Dennis is on time, professional and knows exactly what to do and how to teach it. He uses a very unique approach which actually works! We are certainly better parents to our puppy and she is so much better behaved now, more than we thought possible. We highly recommend Dennis, he is awesome. read more

Dennis's approach is a new concept for me and I LOVE it. It just makes so much sense. Dennis is awesome. He gives you the tools you need to connect with your dog and he's just a phone call away whenever he's needed. We appreciate Dennis very much! Shari and Shane read more

Dennis is a genius! We've been seeing Dennis for over 4months now and Bruno our 7month Cane Corso has learnt so much! Mind you, you can only teach a puppy so much but we're really happy with our experience so far. We found Dennis through our vet Dr Barbie' at Magnolia pet wellness on Saint Rose Parkway. I believe word of mouth is still the best way to advertise. Our first visit was all about our puppy and what our goals were and really to see if we (pup,family and trainer)were a perfect fit. Then following that we saw Dennis on a regular basis, once a week for 1 and a half hours or so. Thank you Dennis for being able to translate what is happening With our puppy and why they happen in the first place. read more

Dennis has truly transformed my dogs in just a few short weeks! I have an 8 month old golden that wouldn't stop jumping and invading everyone's personal space. I also have a 6 year old cocker spaniel that was fearful, barking constantly, and having a hard time bonding with the new dog. Dennis came out for a free consultation just a few days after reaching out to him. I could immediately tell he was knowledgeable, caring, and extremely passionate about what he does. I love that he only uses a leash and focuses on teaching the dog respect instead of using treats or shock collars like other companies. He comes out to work with me and the girls every week right here in my house. After the first training visit my golden Winnie learned to not jump on people and my spaniel Daisy learned to walk without pulling my arm off. I thought, "Has it really been this simple all along??" I couldn't have done it without Dennis showing me how. The most rewarding part of working with Dennis and my dogs could really be seen last week when I took them out to Downtown Summerlin. For the first time in Daisy's 6 years she walked around without barking, getting scared, or trying to run back to the car. Her tail was wagging the entire time and she was even greeting strangers! I recommend Dennis to anyone that asks how my dogs are so well behaved (because people say that now after only working with Dennis for about a month!). Seriously, just pick up the phone and call him! read more

I can not say enough amazing things about At Home Dog Training and Dennis. We have always rescued our dogs, however they have always been older and set in their ways. A few months ago we adopted a 4 month old puppy and it was the most stressful first two weeks. We didn't understand what it involved and knew immediately that dog training was NOT in our skill set. We looked on line and we found Dennis. I had an appointment with our Vet later that week and we asked for recommendations - and they referred us to Dennis, so I knew it was a sign! We contacted AHDT and Dennis came out to do an evaluation. His approach is unlike anyone else and trust me when I tell you that if you are in need of help with training - Stop the googling, don't try and figure it out yourself - Call Dennis. You must put in the work on your end, but when you do, the results are incredible. Cooper is on his way to being a very well trained pupper and we are thrilled to have found At Home Dog Training! read more

We are so happy to have found Dennis. We had a really bad experience with another trainer and we were nervous about finding someone who actually knew what they were doing. Dennis came to our home and spent over an hour assessing our dog and answering the millions of questions that we had. He was very sweet and gentle with our puppy. Dennis explained how he works with both the pup and the owners. It totally made sense to us. We really liked everything he had to offer. We hired Dennis right away and are really looking forward to having a well trained dog. If you are looking for a great dog trainer, give him a call. read more

My wife and I recently rescued a dog and decided to contact At Home Dog Training, for a consultation. Dennis (owner) returned my call promptly, answered all my questions thoroughly, and we scheduled a free eval. Dennis arrived on time for the appointment. He then evaluated our dog and spent over an hour with us. He patiently listened to our concerns, answered all of our questions, and gave us a ton of great advice and pointers. At the conclusion of the evaluation, we were pleasantly surprised to hear Dennis inform us that we were on the right track and didn't require his services. He simply gave us a list of problematic dog behaviors and advised us to contact him if we encounter any and need assistance. Dennis didn't BS us in order to needlessly sell a training package. Hopefully my pup will behave and I won't need to reach out to Dennis, but if need be I wouldn't hesitate to do so. Dennis is extremely knowledgeable, personable, professional, and most important honest. If you're looking for a dog trainer give him a call. I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

I am so glad I came across Dennis on yelp. We have two beautiful and crazy Pomskys. My husband and I were at the point that we were going to give our dogs away. They destroyed furniture, ran out the door, and constantly jumped on people. It was so bad that family couldn't come visit us because they would get knocked over or scratched up from our dogs jumping on them. We figured we would try dog training before moving forward with giving them away. We have been seeing Dennis for the past two months and WOW WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!! Our dogs no longer jump on visitors, they don't run out the door and the chewing has gotten better. I wish I would've found Dennis a lot earlier. Thank you for help Dennis! We appreciate you soooooo much. God bless! read more

Dennis is the best. Found him on Yelp. Talked to him a couple of times and selected him to help introduce a puppy into a house with senior dogs. He has been helping us now for a month. We've made good progress. He is patient with the dogs and with us and uses a praise based system that seems very effective. Thanks Dennis! We enjoy having you in our family! read more

I really enjoyed my free consultation with Dennis for my five year old German Shepard. He was very knowledgeable and you can tell he is passionate about his work. He isn't just in it for the money; he genuinely cares. I appreciate that. Thanks Dennis for the free consultation. I would highly recommend him! read more

Dennis is awesome to work with, has a great training technic (no shockers/treats involved), very flexible and kind man. We checked over 6 different trainers before and Dennis was best value for our money. True behavioural specialists, highly recommended. read more

At Home Dog Training - Boss loved working with Denis - Pet Training Near Me

AMAZING!! HELPFUL! Dennis is a great trainer, he teaches the owner as much as the pup. We asked him to come by the house to train our 5month old lab puppy, instead he came, evaluated and said we dont need him we can do it ourselves, he taught my dad and i how to use the leash to train Klaus and after ONE WEEK of doing what he said out baby is leash trained! He got potty trained in ONE WEEK. Our baby is smart, but Dennis had to teach us. Loved it!! Wouldn't go to anyone else but him. Trust him with your pup, every other trainer i have talked to has been rude to me, stuck up or to aggressive, dennis is the perfect trainer! read more

Dennis is great. He's blunt, honest and to the point. I was having problems with my female frenchie, 1-year-old Mazie, and her level of excitement when meeting people, leash pulling, and potty training. Dennis visited us at my home to assess Mazie. This was paramount to the advise given because how can Dennis know what needs help if he doesn't get to know your pooch and their disposition & personality. Mazie liked Dennis a LOT. She's a friendly pup to everyone, but I could tell she was completely at-ease with him. We talked about the issues that concerned me in depth while Dennis observed Mazie's behavior and our interaction. Based on this visit, Dennis provided insightful and helpful information which we have put into place. Mazie's well on her way to being a nearly perfect pup. In the future I will not hesitate to contact Dennis for any issues or questions that may arise, and I've referred Dennis to a friend who's dog has social anxiety around other dogs. Thanks so much! read more

Dennis returned our phone call the same day and scheduled a free consultation. We are so happy that he comes to our house and that he uses humane and positive behavior modification techniques. Dennis listens to our concerns and trains us to train our dog. Dennis has a calming demeanor and is on time, professional and responsive. In less than a month of training, our puppy is much more pleasant to be around! He does not bite or jump nearly as much and has curbed other destructive behaviors. We are so thankful and are glad that training is offered into the future as much as is needed. Dennis is well worth his price for much less stress and more peace in our lives. We have also saved a lot of money on treats as they are not needed for training. We highly recommend this business! read more

My experience with Dennis has been second to none. I contacted him when my French Bulldog littermate puppies came home at 10 weeks, hoping I could give them a good start on house training. Not only were we able to housebreak them quickly, they have responded to his method beautifully and at just six months old have responded to the basic commands. We will continue to work hard and know that Dennis will lead us through the next training phase professionally and with a smile. He uses a praise based training system that really should be called "At Home Dog Owner Training"!. Thanks Dennis! read more

We are new puppy parents (of Georgia) and can't imagine this undertaking without DENNIS! It's only been 2 sessions, We are making progress in Every area And we're almost potty trained! We wouldn't want to be puppy parents without a trainer like Dennis. read more

Called Deniss about my aggressive dog and he was honest and kind enough to let me know that since my dog has try to bite multiple people, he would refer me to another trainer how would be better at instant gratification. I really appreciate his honesty and will definitely be calling him back once this aggressive behavior is gone so that Deniss can help with the rest. read more

Dennis has been phenomenal to work with. We have 2 very energetic dogs that needed some training, and we noticed huge improvements within the first few visits. Dennis explains everything thoroughly and has provided us with the tools we need to have obedient dogs. It's so convenient that he comes to our home and is always available if we have questions. We are very thankful we found him! read more

I am a first time dog owner and wanted to get the training right from the beginning. I contacted Dennis and he was very prompt to respond. He started working with my 8 week old mini goldendoodle and its been an amazing experience. I love that Dennis comes to my house each week so the puppy is being trained in his environment not at a training facility. We have seen an amazing transformation from week to week! My dog LOVES Dennis! He makes dog training easy and understandable! I would recommend him to anyone that has a dog and is looking for training due to behavioral challenges or to anyone looking to bring a new dog into their home! You won't regret it! read more

We are so happy we found Dennis! We adopted a 2 year old Shepard/Lab mix who was absolutely terrified of most things, didn't know any basic commands and would hardly leave the couch. Most of the trainers we contacted used some form of domination trainer or a shock collar which we felt was the last thing we needed for our already terrified new addition. From the first consultation with Dennis we knew that he would be a great fit. He is very knowledgeable, patient, and kind. He puts the training on you. You are giving all of the tools (and reading material) needed to work with your dog throughout the week. During each session Dennis explains the next skill you will be working on, demonstrates it with you and then reviews. I LOVE that he doesn't use treats as the reward, only your praise which she responds really well to. I would hate for her to only respond to me when she knew I had a treat. Within 3 weeks we had a completely different dog. She is so much more confident and happy. We couldn't be more thrilled with her progress! We really love that Dennis will always be here for us if any new problems arises and couldn't recommend him enough. read more

Dennis was referred to us by our Vet, and we can't say how thankful we are to work with him. Our Wheaten Terrier was a rescue and had aggression issues. This really was our last change to remediate his unknown issues before taking him back to the rescue. After a few months of training, he is a completely different dog. We can tell that he trusts his family, he listens and obeys, and is a very happy dog. We haven't experienced even a growl since his sessions began. Dennis really understands how Dogs think and react (I would also call him the dog whisperer). Without the use of choke chains/collars, shock collars and other negative devices, our dog was actually happy to see him every week, and I think that increased his ability to understand and react to the training. We recommend At Home Dog Training to anyone looking for help with their four-legged friend. read more

Our experience with Dennis has been great. My family adopted a puppy and had no previous experience with a pet! It has been a challenge for us and we were at out wits ends when I found Dennis. Dennis came to our home and has given us invaluable advice as we get to know our puppy. I was hesitant to call as I was worried he would suggest harsh training methods. This couldn't have been further from the truth. Dennis specializes in positive training methods and building up your dog and your relationship with him. We are so grateful to have found Dennis!! read more

Dennis is great and is always there when we need him, my dog was chewing on everything but Dennis taught us that we need to differentiate his toys from the items in the house for him to chew. He also taught us early potty training techniques and positive reinforcement. Thank you for being our life time dog trainer read more

Could not be happier with Dennis! First he is a great guy and incredibly easy to work with. He is doing a wonderful job training us...uh I mean our dogs. Seriously he gives us the tools to understand our dogs and how to act and react which is 90% of dog training. We have two German Shepherd pups, brother and sister, which is its own unique situation. Dennis' techniques work and we love the fact he comes to the dogs environment to observe and train. He adjusts the schedule based on progress as each dog and owner is different. While he adapts based on needs and what is and isn't working his model is based on praise and respect and not treats. It works and creates a bonding relationship between you and your dog which should be everyone's goal. Give Dennis a call, get and evaluation and don't look back. You will not be disappointed. read more

At home dog training has been amazing! Dennis has been so helpful with his techniques, training tools and advice. Before training, our dog was guarding toys and bones, had a bad barking habit and was getting aggressive to our new puppy. Now he is a completely different dog! I could not be more grateful for Dennis! read more

Dennis is very dependable, show up on time and always with a smile. Takes his time teaching us how to raise a well behaved pup! Easy to learn and train with your dog. Best part is you don't need any extra products or food to train your dog. Just your time, a leash and praise. read more

Thumbs up ! If you want logical stress free training and your dog to respond positively, you will have to reach out to Dennis! He is awesome , always there for you and giving you the confidence for the years to come to truly enjoy your furry friend ! read more

I cannot say enough positive things about Dennis. He is incredibly professional and incredibly knowledgeable. He will make time to come out and evaluate your dog. We were thoroughly impressed with him for the following reason: when he came for the free evaluation, he took a lot of time with us (and our puppy) and gave us a lot of good tips, and did not push for a contract. We were the ones who pushed for the contract because we were so impressed with him. He will not try to sell you his services for more money if he does not believe you need him. I also really like the fact that he does not use shock collars and also doesn't use treats. His method is incredibly effective and makes things easy. It does not involve hurting the dog, while in fact it encourages praise and support for your puppy. We are already seeing positive changes in our puppy for the better. We are so happy with the guidance we are getting. Highly recommended! read more

Tonight we met Denis from at home dog training! FREE session :) Contact him, your pets will love him I contacted him after reading my fellow Yelpers reviews. He responded quickly to my message through Yelp. Our meeting was scheduled at 7pm and he was right on time! I were seeking Denis help and training for our little Sheltie Muppett (5 months) to learn how to 1- not jump backward when you try to grab him 2- Muppett started to bark a little when we are eating 3- finish his body train (he is so so good but encounter little accident here and there). Denis came to our home, he arrived with a big smile, very friendly gentlemen and so kind! Humphrey (our 12 years old Border collier) and Muppett (5 months old sheltie) greeted Denis at the door. We sat down and while explaining how he works and giving us some great tips about raising our doggies, he was analyzing our dogs behavior. He kindly show us and explain the positive and negative of our "saying" and our "gesture". Left us a training memo he prepared and gave us a leach :) (thank you) After 1 hour, Denis told me, our dogs well behave and Muppett like any baby or child needs time to become a little man LOL. Denis said so far we did a great job on our own, to continue to do so, that we don't really need his help or for us to spend money when it's not needed (body training, sit, play, chewing...actually Muppett never really chewed on anything!) he offered us to call him if we have any training question! I was like "Whaaaaat?"! I was proud of myself :) I truly appreciated Denis training advice, care and Honesty! My training with Muppett since we brought him home (he was 1 month) was / is simple... When he had water or food, I will take him out like 15mns later and wait till he did his business. Since he was a baby, the Vet told me he can hold only so much. Also to avoid jealousy between the dogs, I feed them at the same time, when I pet one I pet the other :) I never gave any treat when training muppett, only big kisses and petting. Good luck with your doggies To Denis! THANK YOU from the bottom of our heart for coming to our home on a friday night and tell us we trained our dad good. Means a lot! Thank you for your Honesty and Advice I HIGHLY recommend Denis care for your little hairy ones read more

After my first phone call with Dennis, I knew I was in great hands. I have a Rottweiler puppy who is crazy! I was originally planning on trying to train him on my own after watching lots of Youtube, but quickly realized I was way over my head! Dennis dove into the psychology of dogs and their innate drive to please their owners. Gone were the treats and days of sticky hands from passing them out. Within the first week, our puppy stopped chewing everything, was learning to walk on his lead, and stopped crying in his crate when left alone. So far Dennis has been a miracle worker with the pup. He is always available for my questions and is prompt about returning my calls outside of our meetings. Working with Dennis has been nothing but pleasant and it is clear that I will have the best-behaved dog I could ever wish for! read more

We feel very fortunate to have found Dennis and his approach to training dogs (At Home Dog Training). Actually it's more about training dog owners. We have two younger dogs who were good in some circumstances but not in others. We needed help with them when greeting visitors, walking on the leash and passing other dogs, and barking in the back yard when hearing our neighbors' dogs barking. After a few sessions, Dennis helped us improve or change their sometimes rowdy or intimidating presence. Dennis's approach focuses on praise, patience, and practice - no yelling, no treats for incentive, no intimidating behavior. Our dogs responded very positively and very quickly. They became at ease with new guests in the house, they react quickly to our commands (e.g., come inside, go in your kennel, sit), and they are getting better on the leash. Dennis is professional, thoughtful, easy to work with, and his approach is humane. We highly recommend him. read more

Dennis is great, easy to reach whenever you need him and always has tips to help. Helped my dog become exactly what I wanted her to be

I contacted At Home Dog Training because a dog that was bequeathed to me by a friend, was having difficulty adjusting to his new home. Dennis came over for the free consultation the other day, he gave us some verbal cues along with a leash to use while correcting the dog's behavior. We started immediately using the leash and commands and saw an improvement. I'm very optimistic that in a short time we will be able to correct Buddy's behavior. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge Dennis! I highly recommend contacting Dennis At Home Dog Training if you need training for you dog. read more

I called Dennis for help with my mini labradoodle, who is extremely vocal and is constantly jumping on our guests. I enjoyed our visit with Dennis as I could have just talked to him for hours! He's a great guy and very knowledgeable. He gave us some tips and told us to call him if we ever need anything. He didn't push us to purchase any of his trainings, he just gave us the knowledge we needed and he went on his way. We've been working with our pup, as Dennis instructed, for about 3 days now and we can already see an improvement. I'm so excited to see how much she improves after a few months. We've tried trainers in the past that use specific collars or other items and I'm so very happy his technique doesn't involve any of that! Thanks so much, Dennis! read more

So glad we found At Home Dog Training! Dennis has been great and after one training session we saw a difference in our dog who was a rescue with some bad habits. We have had our dog for 3 years and Dennis is our 3rd trainer the difference is his approach, its simple but unique in the fact that he teaches you the basics in your home and gives you all the tools you need to accomplish the goals to have your dog be the best he can be. Dennis is easily reachable and shows up to our weekly appointment on time and ready to work with our dog. I highly recommend and so happy to have found him! Give him a try -you won't be disappointed! read more

Hello! My name is Fabian Barco and I just wanna say that Dennis from " At home Dog Training" is the real deal. This gentle man has the right recipe for training YOU and then your dog. Nobody understands dogs like this man does! He's educated ny wife and I quite well on dog behavior and reactions. He is truly the " DOG WHISPERER "! Now that said, theres a lot work to be done on our part! Wally is our 6 month old chocolate Labrador that we KNEW we would need help. We still have a long way to go but without Dennis, the progress we've made would have never been imaginable. We've had two Labradors previously and we decided to nip this in the butt right away. Of course, in time they turn out great dogs no matter what, but with proper training you can reduce the length of time if will take to TAME the little beast. In 5 meetings with Dennis we've made good progress, however now it's up to us to implement the training tools that Dennis handed down to us. It takes practice and consistency. I'm very optimistic that Wally will be an awsome dog thanks to these tools I e been provided with by Dennis. That said, HIRE DENNIS! There's only ONE of him....... read more

Dennis came to us for a consultation. We have a 7 month old baby and wanted better handling of our 2 year old rescue. Unlike other trainers, he let us know that we didn't need him we just needed guidance. He gave us useful information, and we have already found it to be helping! Thank you, Dennis! read more

After the passing of our 15 year old Lab our 8 year old Beagle started having major separation anxiety. He's not your typical Beagle that howls at everything and anything. But since the separation anxiety has kicked in his true Beagle side has started to come out & some of our neighbors have complained. After many attempts on our own to help him nothing seem to make him feel better. My husband found Dennis on Facebook and we contacted him right away. We had our FREE in home consultation with Dennis 3 weeks ago. We felt very comfortable with him and our Beagle seemed to respond to him very well. After doing our first week of training with our dog we noticed a significant change. Going on our third week of training we have noticed some huge improvements. Dennis is great at what he does and it has helped us tremendously being able to do the training. It's not just about training your dog but also you as an individual. We are very happy we found Dennis and can't wait to see how we all progress. Thank you Dennis we very much appreciate your help. read more
