My wife and I both have had dogs all our lives. But we never took the time to train them properly…read more When our old dog died, we knew we wanted another dog or two. This time though, we wanted to train them. Our vet recommended Drop the Leash. I liked that Valeria came to our house, rather than taking the dogs out of their own safe environment. Within minutes of Valeria working with the pups, they were responding to her instructions. It just got better from there. We took the six week course and not only did my wife and I look forward to Valeria coming, so did the pups. The end results were more than we imagined. We continue to work with the pups, now that the official training is over. Drop the Leash gave us, and our pups, the tools to make our lives together better. When we decide we can't live without another dog, we will call Drop the Leash before we go to pick the dog up. I highly recommend calling Valeria for your new dogs or dogs that have happens you want to break. She will get the job done. Greg & Vickie Baker

We have been customers for decades. The service has always been over the top wonderful until a…read moreday ago. I needed a replacement collar strap for a Sport Pro system we purchased in 2019. "Vanessa" claimed I could not have purchased the unit from them. Even after I gave her our account number, invoice number, and item number, pictures, etc., she still claimed I could not have purchased from them. So, after asking for something compatible and receiving no response, I Googled and got my own info and relayed it to her. Again, no effort or helpfulness from "Vanessa". It's too bad the wonderful small businesses get sold to bigger companies who in turn hire ignorant, lazy customer service reps. Needless to say that I will never be doing business there again. I found the strap I needed elsewhere.

It stopped working after less then 30 days. I didn't begin to use it for about a month after I received it. It took me a while to reach out and ask what my options are..... The only option is to ship it to California for repairs and pay for the shipping and wait 2-3 weeks....I am not pleased with the quality of the product and I would say customer service is non existent from Dogtra..I am going to purchase a mini educator elsewhere....

DTE's owner and trainer doesn't know how to train dogs so owners can keep them under control. The…read moreproof: his own dogs. April 7, 2024, Grand Traverse County Civic Center. The owner set up a tent near the entrance to promote his service during the Up North Lake & Cottage Show. His two unleashed terriers are under the tent. I'm walking my leashed terrier 20-30 feet away. She didn't make a sound at his dogs. Suddenly, they charge out, run across the lawn, and chase my dog. She's been attacked by dogs in the past, so she's scared to death and trying to get away from them. Only she can't, because I'm trying to pull in the leash to pick her up. The owner made no move to stop his dogs; he just stood there speaking with prospective customers. After I gathered up my dog, he called out "Sorry, they just wanted to play." Here's what shows the owner doesn't know what he's doing: my dog didn't know they were playing; she thought she was being attacked. If the owner's dogs had caught her, she'd have defended herself by biting them. "Play time" would have been over! His dogs might have backed off. Or they might have attacked my dog, mauled her, and either killed her or required me to euthanize her. Irresponsible owners always say "My dog just wants to play" when their dog is out of control. The problem is, they can't know whether the pet their dog is chasing "just wants to play;" that dog may fight instead. If DTE's owner wants to let his dogs play, he should have known to take them to a dog park. Instead, he let them run loose at the Civic Center. And he couldn't control them off the leash. As a result, they went after another dog, creating an unpredictable situation which could have ended tragically. If you want your dog trained, find someone who knows what they're doing. Don't trust DTE's owner/trainer. His own dogs and bad judgement prove that he doesn't.

After the first time out, our pony was much easier to catch and with consistent work at home, she improved greatly. Recently, we took our 4 year old saddle-bred horse for a "back to basics" 30 day training. Upon return, she is now standing tied with much more patience, standing and waiting to mount, and ultimately more responsive and secure in all human interactions. I had a friend ride today who had not ridden her since last season (he rode her about 6 times) and he commented on the noticeable difference. Seriously, in 30 days, the improvement was evident. Wendy also sets up the owner for success by providing a detailed plan going forward and is very responsive to any questions or follow up. Wendy, and her daughter Faith, will be life-long horse friends and experts for my family!

I was completely blown away when I called to order a replacement collar and was informed that it…read morewould cost $430! Just for a replacement collar! That's not for the installation of the wire, training or anything else. Just the basic, simple dog collar. I really wish I would have been made aware when I purchased and had installed the system that their replacement collars were so stupidly expensive. That is half the cost of one of those more up-to-date, portable, changeable GPS fencing systems by Halo or Cesar Millan. In hindsight, I should've purchased one of those systems first instead of wasting my money on the Invisible Fence brands.

We have a one year old Boxer pup who is full of energy and crafty as heck. When she runs outside the Picket-fenced in yard she is pretty much impossible to catch until she tires out. We were suspect this would work for her but it has been absolutely great. From the first call to the expert, patient and wonderful consultation to the installation and training it has been unbelievable. AND - we needed an adjustment to the layout (totally my fault) and they took care of it quickly and with such a positive attitude. I said this to everyone I met at Invisible Fence - if the phone and internet companies could learn to provide service even half as good as them the world would be a much happier place!
