But also very fun. My dog looked forward to going to class and practicing the homework. Any time I emailed, the trainer responded quickly and answered whatever question I had. I look forward to taking another class with there!

Andrea is the best at what she does, hands down. I had hit a wall trying to train my dog myself and…read morefinally gave up. I booked a session with Andrea Arden because she has been doing this for 30 years, and you realize very quickly why she has lasted that long. Andrea reads canine behavior perfectly and showed me exactly how I was messing up the training at home and gave me a clear system to fix our dogs bad habits. Once we got his basic obedience under control, we started doing agility with her just to burn off his extra energy. My dog finally listens, and my house is quiet again. Andrea is phenomenally talented and I highly recommend her.

Connecticut Off Leash K9 Training is fantastic! After adopting a puppy last year, I enrolled him in…read morethe "Basic & Advanced" training package. I was paired up with Rachel and my dog and I couldn't be happier. Over the past 8 classes, Sheldon has learned sit, down, stay, place, heel, wait, touch, and more! While Sheldon took some time to accept the concept of heel, Rachel was patient and positive as Sheldon learned the ropes. Rachel is always excited to see Sheldon and is upbeat and enthusiastic every week! She is always available for questions that arise between classes. I can't say enough positive things about K9 Off Leash Training or Rachel. I look forward to using this training company in the future. Thank you, Rachel!

Amber did an amazing job with Bailey. I was so nervous before bringing Bailey for her first day of…read more2 weeks of board and train. I was concerned about the e collar and how Bailey would respond. She's a 5 month mini goldendoodle. Amber not only reassured me that Bailey would be fine but she also took the time to answer all of our questions. All the videos that Amber sent showing Baileys progress was amazing to see her learn! Bailey learned so much! It's been a week since she was in "school" and she continues to do well. Consistency, patience and discipline is key for any training program so my role is just as important. I definitely recommend Amber as a trainer. She showed genuine care and concern for Bailey. Thank you

Stacey's heart is in the right place but she served us terribly. I have used her twice. Once with a…read morefearful dog. Stacey's training worked fine in that case but I decided to try something new. She responded unprofessionally. Here service is expensive but enticing because she offers to train the dog with no work on your part. The second time, we adopted a puppy. After a week he started biting. Stacey assured us that she could help. So we kept the dog for a year, spending thousands of dollars with Stacey. Then our dog walker refused to walk our dog anymore because he was too dangerous which means we, a family with two young children definitely should not keep him. Stacey responded very badly. She was defensive and tried to get us to pay her more money to retrain the dog and was really rude about it. I regret using her. Without her bad advice the dog would have been sent back within a week saving all parties (especially the dog) a bad experience. I highly recommend you stay away.

I have only had one evaluation so far so I'll be back for a follow-up…read more I have a rescued pit-mix who has some issues so I called WWW for an evaluation, thinking I'd take her to the Growl Class, a special class for naughty dogs. Stacy and an assistant met with me and my dog Cola for 90 minutes, watching her with other dogs and asking very detailed questions. I was impressed with her methodical attention to detail and seemingly no-bullsh*t manner. She asked me what my goals were and told me what Cola and I would need to do to reach those goals. She said Cola could probably do a regular obedience class even though she has some leash aggression, which was good to hear. But Stacy assured me she was being honest and not just telling me what I wanted to hear. On the downside, she doesn't come to Brooklyn so it's kind of a treck but we loved the 2 plus hour walk home over the bridge! Also it's QUITE pricey for an evaluation but so far I think it's worth it.

We have a rescue dog that is very fearful of new situations. Sometimes he appears aggressive when…read morehe is just trying to make friends. Consequently, it was very important to find a good trainer and a good daycare program. Our dog needs a gentle touch, as he is already fearful. Cassidy was able to size up our dog very quickly and was able to help us help our dog to become less fearful of new situations. Her daycare was also a good place for our dog. Cassidy and her dog handlers quickly learned which dogs would make good buddies for our dog and helped Grover gain his confidence when meeting the other dogs. He loves daycare so much that when I am about a block away he tries to pull me to daycare. When we arrive at daycare my ultra protective dog turns his back on me to happily go and play with the other dogs. Every time our dog off at Cassidy's program I know he will be happy and well cared for.

Best place ever. So loving, so professional, our German Shepherd loves daycare there and we have…read moreboarded her as well and she comes home every time happy, happy, happy. Cassidy and crew are amazing!

Courtney is a GOD SEND. I would trust this woman with a newborn, which I did- my 1.8lb puppy. I've…read morebeen using Courtney's service for a year now, and when I started, I was a frantic, paranoid, overprotective new dog owner. She followed every annoying instruction I left her, to the T, no matter how ridiculous I was being. My dog is not easy to take care of, he is a 4lb ball of energy who thinks he can take on a pitbull. When walking him you have to be really careful not to let anyone kick or step on him, as such an action could be fatal. I witnessed Courtney walking my dog once when I was on the way home from work, and not only was she careful to avoid pedestrians, but when a stranger tried to pet my dog without asking I saw Courtney step in and tell the man he couldn't pet him (as I'd asked her to do). That was just further proof of how she really listens to your dog needs and acts accordingly. She also walks my boyfriend's dog and manages to walk them both together: my 4lb and his 65lb dog- a feat that is still difficult for me at times, and I live with them! I could go on about Courtney for pages, but what should take from this is if you want someone responsible, careful, fun, who tailors her work to your needs and above all is dependable, Courtney is your girl. **PS I know it might look suspicious that so many good reviews are popping up around the same time. That's because word spread that a malicious false review was posted, and clearly all of us Walk Around the Clock clients love Courtney and her team. Just goes to show how a 'woman who walks our dogs' is now more like a friend!

I just started working with Courtney about a week ago and have already seen dramatic changes in my…read moredogs behavior. We had one in person meeting which was amazing and she has also been available 24/7 for all of my questions and concerns. My dog is 3 years old and I sort of thought it was hopeless at this point to train him - not true! So far I am extremely happy with my dogs awesome new behavior.

I'd recommend her to anyone in LA interested in a super high quality program. She's awesome and Leo loved her!

This review is WAY over due. But due to disrespect I choose to do one…read more If I can give this "dog training " business no stars I would. Taylor is very unprofessional !! I sent my dog here for a "board and train" for a month because he was VERY LEASH REACTIVE and had SEVERE SEPARATION ANXIETY. He came to my home to evaluate my 9 pound Maltese and said "yea I'm going to make your dog more confident ". Which I believed that he would. The complete opposite !! He told me he's going to "crate train " my dog to help with the separation anxiety. " His dog ended up sleeping in MY dogs crate as he said. And in the bed with him and his girlfriend. ( We are working on separation anxiety right?) sent me text saying he's doing great in the crate. When he came home left him in the crate for an hour and he threw up, urinated, and stool. Complete mess. Didn't understand my doing being with this JERK for a month and came back 10 times worst. Was still very leash reactive to other dogs. Completely nothing was done. Never received any updates on how my dog was doing on a day by day basis, it would be a text days later, when I made it clear my dog NEVER been away for me for such a long time. I know my dog had a bit of issues and was out of his league to train him. He could of simply said that. But took my money and did absolutely nothing. DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE !! Here's some proof how unprofessional he is and hope this can help some people not to make the same mistake I did. By the way my dog is doing a great job now Sit, Whoa, Place, Heel. Here, Down, kennel, Out,Hold. Not leash reactive and separation is WAYYYY better. Thanks to (PETER CAINE)

Taylor and Dina are absolutely amazing trainers AND people. We adopted our dog Val from them about…read more2.5 years ago. They rescued her from some deadbeat neighbor in the middle of the night, and had they not done that, her story may have turned out very different. They trained, fostered and loved her until I found their post online and fell in love with her as well. Since we adopted her, we have taken her to them several times for boarding and she goes completely NUTS whenever she sees them, but then will calm down instantly with just a slight move of Taylor's hand. He has a way with animals that you just see instantly.

She has wonderful communication skills with dogs and people. And Taylor's professionalism, warmth and willingness to help with every detail and any challenge have been invaluable and deeply appreciated. Brianna's encyclopedic understanding of dog behavior combined with her fluidity in decoding it for us has been so incredibly helpful. Her skills and intuition are pretty amazing. She absolutely speaks canine. Her enthusiasm for her work and the calm energy she radiates are contagious and extremely instructive. Both of our dogs (our older guy is gone now) benefited immensely from their work with Brianna. And we've had richer and dare I say less stressful relationships with both of them because we understand so much more, thanks to her. If you couldn't tell, I recommend Kapooch as highly as possible. Honest and lovely people doing great work.

If you're considering Kapooch, I couldn't recommend them more highly!
