We are so excited to have well trained dogs that can go places with us without being a nuisance! They will have so much fun ! we plan to continue all of our in-home training sessions and then we may consider having them board and train with Yoni depending on what our ultimate goals are. If you want a well-trained dog please reach out to BP!

After months of reading books, scouring the Internet on diff approaches to handle situations, I adjusted daily and felt defeated at times with a smart, stubborn/strong willed puppy. Thankfully, he was in the Bay Area visiting and I got a session in with him and instantly saw a difference during the session (and after while I continued his tips and suggestions). I've already recommended friends and old colleagues to watch his free content and reach out for 1:1 training for their dogs. @GOTTATRAIN is worth the investment for a strong and happy, lifelong bond with your doggo!

Now John has given me not only the tools to help with our walks, but how to properly live with my dog and give her what she needs to be happy - not what I want (cause what I want was NOT working). I just walked her today and it was the most fun I've had with her. There so SOOO much work I need to do, as John implements changes that are life long - not just "band-aids" training tools - but my dogs and I's happiness is worth the work. If you are struggling, HIRE JOHN!!!! He flew out to Houston, Texas to help me!! He's worth every penny!!!!!!! Best thing I've done since I got my dog was hire Gottatrain

I am so grateful for the time I have spent with Hunter and Abby to help my one year old pup with…read moresome reactivity issues. They took time to evaluate what was the cause of his reactions. As opposed to making assumptions, they got to know him and to learn what was causing it. While I had thought it was fear, they actually helped me to nuance that he was frustrated because of his excitement that he couldn't play with every dog he saw! They helped me to create a plan, and were great to work with! I can see my how far we have come, and have plans for how to continue to make progress. I wouldn't hesitate to refer "Heel Yeah" to anyone looking for a dog trainer, and especially for reactivity. They take time to understand dog behavior, and approach teaching humans from the dog's perspective!

So grateful that we found Hunter & Abby! Our 7 month old puppy, Maverick, had been showing…read morereactivity towards other dogs, people, children, and pretty much anything, when we would go out of the house to a pet store, the park, or just on a walk. Then Maverick started to show signs of resource guarding, which was worrisome as we didn't want our small Yorkie or anyone to get hurt. We knew we needed professional help, so my daughter did her research and found Hunter's business, and read all the positive reviews. We scheduled a consultation with Hunter and Abby, and during that meeting we immediately knew that they could help us. Hunter and Abby took the time to get to know Maverick, and to learn what his triggers are, and they explained how we were going to correct the behaviors. After a couple sessions with just Maverick, Hunter brought his dog Tyson to work with Maverick. It was incredible to see how Maverick learned to play appropriately with Tyson as Tyson would not tolerate any bad behavior from Maverick. Tyson was so well mannered, patient and gentle with Maverick, yet firm which was a wonderful learning lesson for Maverick on proper doggy behavior! Maverick quickly learned that he is not the biggest thing around and learned how to interact with dogs so much better. The next couple sessions was a mix of one-on-one training, adding more dogs to the playgroup, going on outings to the dog park, and a walk through Home Depot. On our last session we worked on the resource guarding again, followed by a trip to the park to work on loose leash walking, and reactivity - which has been reduced significantly to almost nonexistent anymore. It was apparent from the consultation meeting all the way through the last session that Hunter really knows how to interact with dogs and loves what he does. Abby was also incredible. They both took the time needed to work with Maverick and his specific issues, each session was tailored to what he needed and not following a strict regimen. We now have quite a few tips and training techniques that we can use to continue to further Maverick's training. We cannot say enough good things about Heel Yeah K9 Training, and would highly, highly recommend Hunter and Abby anytime! Well worth the investment, and so glad we chose to do this and not give up on our puppy.

My rescue, Rexi, didn't listen (even when she knew some of the commands) and didn't have any manners. Walking her around people and other dogs became so stressful and I wasn't always able to control her. During the consultation, Chris was really informative about his approach, talked through any concerns I had, and explained dog behavior in a way that made sense by using real-life examples I'd be able to relate to. He understands their behavior and what method to best use for the individual dog's needs. Rexi went through a 3-week program, and it was so worth it! She is such a different dog, while still being her silly self. Chris kept me in the loop, answered any of my questions, and was very professional. I am so amazed at the dog I got back! Also important to highlight is that with the follow-up sessions, Chris empowered me with the knowledge on how to best handle her and keep her progress and our training going for continued success. This shows me he cares about long-term success (and he's able to give you on the spot feedback so that you can continue to get better at giving your dogs commands). Now I'm able to walk her each day, and when people walk by, I am no longer afraid of how she'll react. She also knowns her commands, and I know how to reinforce / correct them. Each time we practice I get even more excited because it's becoming more fun than the stress I had before getting her training, which has also helped us bond. I'm so glad I found Chris' Best By Farr Dog Training, and you will too!

Things started fine-ish, but by the 3rd visit, the problems began. Robert missed a scheduled session without calling or texting. When I finally reached him, he rescheduled for the next day and we explicitly confirmed he would be at our next regular session the following week. However, he no-showed again, no call or text. I called and left a voicemail. When he finally called back, he blamed the holiday weekend followed by other excuses, but he had known about the holiday and never communicated the need to cancel. He even used the excuse that he had been to too many Pink Floyd concerts and forgot. Due to the lack of professionalism, we decided to end the training. We had received 4 visits (including the evaluation which turned into an evaluation/session), meaning we were owed a refund of $597.50. Instead, Robert insisted we switch to a different plan we never asked for, claiming our refund would only be $400. He constantly delayed us. He also claimed that he did not understand why we were upset with him and kept on with his excuses. When I refused to let it go regarding the refund, he ended with someone named "Mo" would call to handle it between 10:00 and 5:00 the next day and that he's "done talking about this". I had to text Robert the next day that I had not been contacted in that time frame. Mo then reached out. We agreed to the refund of $400.00 to get it over with and received it via Venmo. Getting our money back proved to be a nightmare, one that we are glad to be over. Based on what my husband and I experienced, this is our personal opinion: Save your time and money. Look elsewhere for a dependable dog trainer.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!! Tom came for a first visit and he…read moremade a good canned presentation. We accepted his pitch and believed he would follow it up in a professional manner. That was not a reasonable assumption. First "Training" Session - As others have noted, he basically consulted on the need for us to go out to purchase recommended snacks, enclosure, leash / collar, water spray bottles, etc. We followed all recommendations. Second "Training" Session - More of the same and about 45 minutes on the treadmill. Our puppy is a Boston Terrier and is approximately 15 lbs. Tom was flipping her through air with harsh tugs on the leash. That prompted me to yell at him to "stop yanking her by her esophagus"! This past week, she has reacted oddly when either of us even touches her collar. Related? We are not qualified to say but we certainly do question. Third "Training" Session today - As I requested in person and in the following text I sent him one week ago, I asked him to provide a list of what would be accomplished in upcoming sessions. Tom was adament that he would tell me what he would cover but HE WAS UNWILLING TO LIST ANYTHING IN WRITING. He expected $2,700.00 for training but refused to put in writing what he was going to do for that very material amount. That is his way of claiming we misunderstood what was in our notes, that he never committed to whatever we took issue with. This is common for people with a history of unsatisfied clients. Text sent to Tom on Thursday, April 23rd: Tom: Thank you for the copy (of the Waiver we signed but did not receive a copy of until we followed up). We will let you know if the training will continue with both of us or just me. Your condescending manner toward my wife, a high functioning business executive, caused her discomfort and was unnecessarily stressful. It will be her decision to participate or not. Additionally, please list the scope of the upcoming sessions so that I can manage my expectations accordingly. As you know, house-training was my #1 priority and it received a very uncreative approach and no training, just tips for us to incorporate. You and I both know I am not the first to make these observations in social media forums. Thank you in advance for your compliance, Ed Doyle Suffice to say, we are done with Tom and K9 Katelyn. I will not subject either my Wife or my Puppy to his abusive behavior. Robin B nailed it in her review which I only wish I had seen prior to hiring this fraud. I am happy for any reviewers who claim to have had a good experience. We were, unfortunately, not in that club. Edward M. Doyle, North Scottsdale, AZ
