He sits when we stop and has become very good at laying down on command. He is a joy to walk, no pulling or side trips while on the leash. The techniques that are taught are easy for both handler and puppy to learn. We went with them because we saw a couple of their students at a local Fleet and Farm and were impressed with their pups behavior. The Trainers are super knowledgeable and eager to share with the Handlers how to get the best out of their pups. Highly recommend All Breed Dog Obedience Training!

I have had other in home trainers in the past and definitely would recommend Clint over anyone else. We had Clint in our home for I believe six in home sessions for our year old German Shepherd rescue, Konah. We adopted Konah at 8 months after she was abandoned by her original owners. We did not have a lot of information on her upbringing. She started exhibiting concerning behaviors every time we had guests over, she would not stop barking, she also had lunged at and nipped at a few guests - which can be really scary for a guest to have a 70 lbs German Shepherd lunge at them. She would also freak out on walks anytime we walked past other people, especially if they had a dog as well. In general at home, Konah is such a great dog, she is a huge cuddle bug and sweet as can be. She also excelled at two different group training basic obedience classes, so we were really not sure how to stop these fear based behaviors with guests and strangers. Clint was a huge help!! He provided us with tools and support and was very responsive to any emails when we had questions and concerns for Konah. He would go on walks with us to observe her behavior. He was very kind and polite to us and very understanding. He provided us with great insight into what was happening with our usually sweet as can be pup. She still has a lot of work to do, but I wouldn't hesitate to ask for his help again. It is not a miracle solution for your dog and you will have to be willing and patient to put in a lot of work with difficult behaviors!

I highly recommend!

The…read moreclasses are engaging and actually fun to attend, and Kai does a great job keeping everyone involved while still expecting a lot from both the dogs and their owners. What really stands out is that this isn't just basic puppy training. The program goes far beyond simple commands, and dogs can continue on to earn certifications and develop much more advanced obedience skills. Watching the more experienced dogs walk completely off leash and follow commands with total focus is incredibly impressive. Kai clearly knows what he's doing and the structure of the program helps both dogs and owners stay consistent. If you're looking for a place where your dog can truly learn strong obedience skills and keep progressing over time, Kai's Obedience is a great option.
