I spoke to someone and explained I wanted the hair trimmed very short to deal with the summer heat. He was ready to be picked up after 2.30 hours Checkout was clean and he was trying to get out and he peed a little but the staff was great and patient while I paid and out the best in to walk him n out. The shower went great and the nails were trimmed I don't know why but they explained I should have said "cut the hair in half" instead of saying I wanted him to have short hair to handle the summer. They insisted his hair was trimmed and given everything else I considered it when eating it. In reality I added one star because of everything else but as far as what I paid for this was a 2 star experience and I'll give them another chance to make it better when I return. And to demonstrate what I mean... I don't think any trim would leave the results posted. I. Figured the toosh and tail drape would be removed to avoid dingleberries etc.. It wasn't touched at all. I would have preferred they tell me they decided NOT to trim him for XYZ.. and that would have been an easier pill to swallow.

After six months of searching and speaking to trainers across multiple states and Canada, I found them through a TikTok video. When I called, Taryn's incredible customer service, patience, and empathy made the process so much easier. She answered all my questions and worked with me on payments to create the best package for Luna. Before drop-off, I met Wil during an unplanned tour, and his honesty and confidence reassured me I was making the right choice. Wil went above and beyond during Luna's training. Knowing I was anxious, he modified the standard report cards to include videos with voiceovers explaining her progress and the reasoning behind each exercise. This thoughtful gesture made me feel connected to the process and will help me reinforce her training at home. Before the program, Luna was reactive--not aggressive but overly excitable. After three weeks, she's still her fun, wacky self, but now she listens, follows commands, and stays calm around other dogs. While there's still work to do, her foundation is strong, and I'm confident moving forward. Luna is now a service dog in training, and Applause Your Paws laid the groundwork to make that possible. I'm already planning to send her back this summer because they're amazing at what they do. I'm so grateful to Wil, Taryn, and the entire team for their care and dedication!

I would strongly advise anyone considering AYP Training to think twice before sending their dog…read morethere. After having our dog for 24 days, it became very clear there was a complete lack of communication, professionalism, and understanding of our living situation. We live in a high-rise condo, yet somehow they spent weeks training our dog to go outside in a backyard setting -- something that does not apply to our home at all. How this was never clarified during nearly a month of training is beyond concerning. What's even more upsetting is that our dog came back terrified of car rides, which was never an issue before. As owners, that is heartbreaking to witness. After reviewing the videos and conditions of the trainer's home, we were honestly shocked. The house appeared trashed, chaotic, and nowhere near the professional environment we were promised when paying for "professional" dog training services. Nothing about this experience reflected the level of care, structure, or quality that was advertised. We invested a significant amount of money trusting this company with our dog, and the results were disappointing from start to finish. Between the misrepresentation, poor communication, and lack of professionalism, this experience felt extremely misleading. Save your money and do your research before trusting this company with your pet.

My only regret is not coming to Richard sooner. I have had 4 dog trainers before him and absolutely…read moreno one was able to create the positive change I have seen in my dog. My dog was dog aggressive, could never take her to a dog park, taking her on a walk or anywhere where we could possibly encounter another dog was a nightmare. She was stubborn and would listen to me maybe 50% of the time on a good day. Everyone told me to use positive methods, take her near a dog park and give her treats every time she looks at a dog. None of that worked. I was told she was reactive and I just needed to accept that. But my dog was so reactive and fearful she was not enjoying life. On the first day with Richard, I saw an immediate change, she was able to walk by a dog and not even bark or lunge or make a sound. It was crazy! Richard was right... coming into this my dog didn't trust me and let me tell you his methods not only improved my dog's life but improved my relationship with my dog. By the third day of training my dog was in the dog park, playing and running around with other dogs and you could see how happy she was, it was like a weight of fear was lifted off her shoulders, I could not believe it. Now I go to dog parks two to three times a week. At first, I was skeptical about e-collar training, but seeing how quick and effective it was and how knowledgeable Richard was with this I definitely grew more comfortable with it and am convinced there truly is no other way, but the most important thing here is Richard. He knows exactly what he is doing, I would not trust anyone else at this point. The Miami Dog Whisperer has my absolute highest recommendation, I will only train my future dogs with him. Thank you so much Richard!!

My…read moredog, Wrigley, attended service dog boot camp for an entire month with her wonderful trainers. They set up a consultation to discuss my specific tasks for Wrig to work on to help me have an easier life. Wrigley left me as a highly energetic rescue dog with so much love and no spacial awareness. She was extremely smart but didn't know how to use it. After a month with Cadence K9 she came home a smart, fully aware, still so loving, extremely helpful service dog. They not only taught her basic commands to help me in every day life, but they taught her critical thinking in every day life. She went on field trips to get public training and she absolutely knew when she was working and when she wasn't. I was blown away. Just a week or so ago, several months after her training camp, Wrigley and I were out and about shopping. I was standing at a counter purchasing something and Wrigley noticed people walking close behind me. She switched on her own and made herself a protective barrier between me and the crowd. Not long after that I was walking through a restaurant and tripped and fell on a rug. Wrigley ran to the nearest person and got their attention to come help me up. I'm not sure how you train a dog to do that specifically, but I do know they helped Wrigley understand her purpose and role in life when she is working for me. For that I am forever grateful to the wonderful trainers at Cadence K9! They changed Wrigleys life and have helped my life so much! I will always recommend the amazing trainers at Cadence K9 and I think Wrigley's overwhelming excitement every time she sees one of the trainers will back me up on that.

Juan came to us highly recommended by a family with a problematic dog who was completely transformed through his methods. Needless to say, we experienced the same. We have been able to incorporate our dog as part of our family in ways that were inconceivable before. Every aspect of our day to day life with him has become more enjoyable for both of us. And though the E-Collar use was a concern at first, we've learned that it is the best way to seamlessly synchronize our dog's mind with our commands. Juan is an expert in dog psychology, and truly understands how to combat the natural inhibitions of a dog to match your own. If you're worried your dog will come back "different" or "not like himself" like we were, you'd be completely mistaken! All that's changed is that we can actually have a relationship with our pet and practice control of his emotions. Juan is also a man of his word in every sense. Our dog was giving him a harder time than expected, so he kept him an entire other week for free to affirm he could deliver the best result possible. On our day of getting him back, Juan proved how great of a teacher he is. He dedicated nearly 5 hours to make sure my family felt comfortable with all of my pet's new commands, how to implement them, and proper E-Collar use. As with any training, there is a heavy emphasis on how you apply these methods at home. And Juan couldn't be more helpful in this sense, answering our calls whenever we felt confused or doubtful as to how to combat certain problems. Never could I have imagined we could live this life we are living now with our pet. Juan! Un abrazo! Translated (Spanish): Como dueños típicos de perros por primera vez, mi pareja y yo dudamos mucho en enviar a nuestro cachorro a bordo durante un mes. Juan vino a nosotros altamente recomendado por una familia con un perro problemático que fue completamente transformado a través de sus métodos. No hace falta decir que experimentamos lo mismo. Hemos sido capaces de incorporar a nuestro perro como parte de nuestra familia de formas que antes eran inconcebibles. Todos los aspectos de nuestro día a día con él se han vuelto más agradables para los dos. Y aunque el uso del collar electrónico fue una preocupación al principio, hemos aprendido que es la mejor manera de sincronizar sin problemas la mente de nuestro perro con nuestros comandos. Juan es un experto en psicología canina y realmente entiende cómo combatir las inhibiciones naturales de un perro para igualar las tuyas. Si le preocupa que su perro regrese "diferente" o "no como él mismo" como nosotros, ¡está completamente equivocado! Todo lo que ha cambiado es que podemos tener una relación con nuestra mascota y practicar el control de sus emociones. Juan también es un hombre de su palabra en todos los sentidos. Nuestro perro le estaba dando mas dificultad de lo esperado, por lo que lo mantuvo durante otra semana entera gratis para afirmar que podía ofrecer el mejor resultado posible. En nuestro día de recuperarlo, Juan demostró lo gran maestro que es. Dedicó casi 5 horas para asegurarse de que mi familia se sintiera cómoda con todos los nuevos comandos de mi mascota, cómo implementarlos y el uso adecuado del collar electrónico. Al igual que con cualquier entrenamiento, hay un gran énfasis en cómo aplica estos métodos en casa. Y Juan no podía ser más útil en este sentido, respondiendo a nuestras llamadas cada vez que nos sentíamos confundidos o con dudas sobre cómo combatir ciertos problemas. Nunca podría haber imaginado que podríamos vivir esta vida que estamos viviendo ahora con nuestra mascota. Juan! ¡Un abrazo!

And yes he is still fun and cute as long as my pup knows who is the leader. I truly recommend this course. Thank you Juan for all that you do.
