I scheduled a session with her for my 3 month old puppy as I needed to know how to best handle his teething and house training.

I had a terrible experience with Opportunity Barks. The City School program keeps the dogs crated…read morefor 6 of the 7 hours they are there. The 1 hour of training includes potty breaks. When I picked up my 8 month old puppy she was so desperate to pee and poo, she went on the sidewalk in front of their building. She was so thirsty she was panting and needed water immediately. I sent food but she did not eat there. To compound the problem, Communication is awful. They don't let you into the space. You stand on the sidewalk - they crack open the door and pull her in or give you the leash to take her out. You get 1 email a week with some photos and videos. They don't appear to read the form you fill out and don't discuss goals. I told them that my puppy has had training since birth, but their first video was showing me how to hold a leash. The second video was of a different dog being trained - they said my dog was tethered watching. Throughout the entire video I could hear her crying. No one attempted to soothe her at all. I provided constructive input verbally and in writing by email. Despite my bad experience at the City School, I was still interested in the Farm School. I went to the open house and they were much more transparent about what a typical day looks like there. But before the evaluation day (which is separate from the City School evaluation), they called me to say that they were cancelling the evaluation because I am not a good fit for their program. They said it had nothing to do with my dog, who is a very sweet Labrador, it is because I am not "aligned" with them. They were not willing to even listen to why I thought the Farm School would be a better fit than the City School, saying that the decision had been made "by senior management" and it is not worth wasting time talking about it. Wow!

First, I'd toss out that 2 star review from the person in Savanah, GA. Seems unlikely someone from…read moreGA would call for a dog assessment from a company in King of Prussia - but that's just me. We have 2 dogs, both rescues from Lancaster puppy mills. One was a mill momma for 7 years and very traumatized. We spent 2 years working through her trauma. Then we adopted a 4 month old through the same rescue. Far less trauma, but we knew 2 things - she was smart as a whip - and going to be a handful so we decided to find a trainer. The rescue partners with At Attention so we looked into them. At first I was turned off by the aggressive, military bootcamp style name - then was pleasantly surprised to learn they do only positive reinforcement training. We looked at their services and staff and chose Andrea. Loved her back story and felt she'd have the vibe that would be right for our trauma dog. And she did. We'd never worked to train our trauma dog beyond the absolute basics because her trauma was so deep she'd revert. The pup however needed active training. We did the initial consult and Andrea observed all the things with little input from us, suggested a plan that included giving the trauma dog the basics. So we signed up for 5 sessions of the basic puppy training at our home because - again - the trauma dog would not have done well out of her environment. I can't say enough positive things about our experience with Andrea. She's got definite "dog whisperer" mojo. She's knowledgeable, loves the dogs and is just a kind hearted spirit (which the trauma dog gravitates to). The new puppy hit the extra willful stage so we signed up for another 5 sessions and it's been kind of miraculous. The puppy is learning the rules and older trauma pooch is learning how to be a dog. The two now play together for extended periods of time, something we never thought the trauma dog would have in her life. The trauma dog is helping to teach the puppy the rules of the house, and the puppy is teaching her how to be - well - a puppy. Money well spent and Andrea is an amazing trainer!

Cody adores her and passed his test with flying colors due to her techniques and loving guidance!! I highly recommend Alicia, she was a pleasure to work with!!!

When I first called and spoke to Larry, I could tell he was very knowledgeable. After I filled out his pretreatment questionnaire, it was obvious that he would be very thorough in determining the cause of the problem and the best course of action to resolve it. My Jack Russel Terrier had separation anxiety and Larry got results on the first visit. Before he left, he told me how to continue with reinforcing the new behavior and looking for signs of remission before they got too bad. I did have a few questions in the following 2 weeks and Larry answered his phone and my questions without any hesitation. I can now confidently leave my best friend home without any hesitation (or damage to the furniture). Thanks Larry!
