My 82 year old mother last month was given a 3 month old female German Shepherd. I knew this…read morebeautiful puppy was going to be a large 90 to 100 lb adult so I sought out locating a qualified professional dog trainer. I chose private training lessons with Lisa Newman. Upon our arrival I could see immediately Lisa was a person who was an advocate for the ethical treatment and loving environment for animals of all kinds. Our first training session with Lisa Newman and my Mom's dog Duchess was amazing. Duchess was comfortable and felt secure with Lisa and although Duchess was resistant at first by the end of the first lesson Duchess was compliant with commands. By the fifth training lesson Duchess was sitting, staying, laying down, heeling, coming on command and not aggressive with the cats, chickens or other animals there. Following Lisa's instructions my Mom & I took Duchess to Tractor Supply and I had no trouble out of Duchess she stayed to my left side at all times not pulling ahead of me would sit on command was social with allowing adults and children to pet her. I now have the tools necessary to build upon to have a controllable, compliant, and loving dog. Lisa is most defiantly a professional trainer and well professed in her ability to help you achieve great results with your pet which is also the family guard dog.

We love Lone Star Dog Training. Travis is a fantastic trainer. Our pitbull Rosie arrived in…read moreour garage in July hot, emaciated, and starving. We initially thought we'd foster her for adoption due to her dog aggression issues. After working with Travis, we decided togive Rosie a forever home ourselves. We brought Travis in to privately train her so she didn't have to deal with the stress of a group setting and because we wanted a tailored training program. With Lone Star Dog Training, we received an excellent job. Travis educated us about how training is important and what results he felt we could see. Over the course of 4 months, Rosie went from being aggressive toward our other dogs to feeling safe and comfortable with them. She's even adopted our 12 year old border terrier as her sister. Rosie has progressed from a frightened stray who did not wag her tail or understand how to take affection, to bounding and leaping with joy when she sees her people. She now seeks out our affections and looks forward to spending time with us. If not for Lone Star Dog Training, we would not have decided to keep her. It showed us what a wonderful, fun and loving dog Rosie is. Thank you, Travis , for your dedication and patience with us.

I wanted someone who was knowledgeable with dogs and compassionate as well. I thought the price was terrifically acceptable and the amenities that came with the price were very good. Cameron comes every week to help me train. I like the patience that is shown to my dogs and to myself as well. I like the camaraderie that we have that makes me feel comfortable, whatever the setting with my animals. I like the group sessions and feel that we have made a great deal of progress, not only privately, but in the group sessions. I started out feeling I could train my dogs like I trained my horses. I was considerably disappointed in my knowledge. With Cameron, at no time did I feel belittled or rushed. At all timesI felt that if I did not understand something, we would go over it again. I was very pleased with the schedule that was developed. We covered everything from walking, confrontation with other dogs, sensory skills, feeding and using on treats, bring collar, E-collar, whether inside my home or outside. On the dogs' side, they are happy to greet Cameron every time he comes over. They are content and much less rowdy, and a joy to be around. I had not even been able to take them into the front yard without being afraid they would run away. I have been trained with the voice commands, as well as hand commands. I have no complaints, only plaudits for a job so well done.

My mini-aussie loves the play dates with other OAK9 clients too. Mallory has a fountain of knowledge when it comes to animal behavior and has helped me in modifying unwanted behaviors through gentle and loving methods.

My dog is thrilled to show off his good behavior now thanks to all Mallory taught him and me.

He's a little terrier with his own demands and he wanted to rule our home and it was getting out of control. My husband and my 2 kids where so concerned because we had 2 different dog trainers and nothing seemed to work, but once we met Mallory she helped our dog and more importantly instructed us on what to do to have our dog be a loving & obedient member of our family. Mallory has so much knowledge on dog behavior, it was so fun to learn from her and within one week of implementing her strategies we saw a drastic change for the better in our little rescue dog. We went from thinking that we were going to have to give our dog back to the rescue place to now having this adorable, fun, loving dog who brings us laughter every day. Hands down, Mallory is the best at helping you understand what a dog is thinking, what the dog needs and how to respond.

I have to give Bob 5 stars for our first lesson that gave my dog a good push for heeling. He was…read morestruggling with this. Bob gave me the tools to overcome this bump in the road and for that I was very grateful. It just was not happening before I hired him. We were and are in training with someone else to pass the AKC CGC test to become a Therapy Dog and he just wasn't getting it. I felt that this $350 was money well spent. When it came time to test, I got nervous so I called Bob again to help me with the portion of the test that was to have my dog have no reaction to another dog. There are certain tasks your dog has to pass and this is one of them. It is more than just walking by another dog. He was to take the test the next day but I was nervous to take the test in case he was to fail this portion. He suggested we meet in front of Petsmart. I was hesitant to stand in front of a store asking customers for help, but hey he is the trainer. I don't know if Bob is unfamiliar with the CGC test as he kept asking me what was expected. Maybe, he just wanted to visit. I kept wondering, "Why is he asking me? He is the professional, not me." After 3 customer's dogs pass by he said, "This lesson was a bust. I'm not going to charge you. You can use me for something else."He encouraged me to take the test anyway. Little did I know that the encouragement would cost $350. My dog did pass the test today, but it is not because of yesterday. My dog and I work every single day together. I absolutely use the tools I was taught by Bob for heeling. My dog is also still in obedience school with another trainer and doesn't need anything Bob has to offer. So, I asked for a refund and he said no. What he did for my dog that day was just look for dogs from customers, pace around the sidewalk and we pretty much just visited. Bob is quite an entertaining guy. This is a picture of Bob's response when I asked for a refund. My response was "Merry Christmas. Keep the money. God Bless." I guess he needs it more than I. Bob knows that standing in front of Petsmart talking and hitting up a few customers is not what got my dog to pass the test. It was hard work for the last 6 months and we have more to go. We are on our way to help those who need a great big dog hug.
