Although my experience with New Beginnings is limited, all it took was a limited experience with…read morethis place to learn that the staff -and specifically the owner- cares deeply for what they do. It's clear that their passion for taking care of dogs extends beyond ensuring physical well-being, but to temperament, energy, diet and all things dog. All areas of their business point to a hands-on approach of taking care of your pets first. New Beginnings is absolutely the best it gets.

If you have a dog who is testing every last nerve you have, call Cheryl Kocher at Raise The Bar Dog…read moreTraining in Cincinnati. We did, and it changed our home. Our puppy, Buster, came with the full menu: separation anxiety, jumping on everyone who walked through the door, pulling on the leash, barking at everything, and almost no obedience. We were overwhelmed. Cheryl came to our house and, over several months of at-home training, turned that around. The difference is night and day. Buster is calmer, more obedient, walks nicely, and is finally a joy instead of a project. Cheryl has been training dogs for many years, and it shows. She is kind, patient, professional, and clearly loves dogs--and animals in general. She didn't just give us a list of commands. She taught us how to work with Buster in our own home, which made the training stick. She has been a real blessing to our family. If you have been looking for an outstanding trainer, do not keep searching. Call Raise The Bar Dog Training and speak directly with Cheryl Kocher. You will be glad you did. -Dennis

I use to struggle to take him on walks or go to an outdoor restaurant without him barking, whining, and getting overwhelmed. Now he sits under me and watches calmly.

He has an extensive knowledge on dogs and does an amazing job of teaching you about your dog and their behavior. Would 1000% recommend!

Our dog went to Training Tracks total immersion boarding program twice (initially and then again…read morewhen the owner realized the first experience failed) and still cannot walk on a leash or greet people politely (our two main goals). He is not an aggressive or anxious dog -- just a lively and energetic pup. We reached out to our trainer and to the business owner many times for additional support and guidance (the immersion program supposedly comes with lifetime support). They have been difficult to schedule with (sometimes taking months to get on their calendar) and often don't respond to our communications unless prompted many times (even though their contract states they will respond in 24 hours). When we could get a hold of them, the guidance they offered was not always particularly useful (i.e. just don't let your dog meet anyone ever - this suggestion came from the owner). We have tried to work this out privately with the business owner, Jeff, and he blames us for not communicating, reaching out, or following up with training, which couldn't be further from the truth. I have text and email records that prove we've been engaged and have consistently asked for the support we were promised/paid for. In the end, Jeff has tried to gaslight me and eventually called me aggressive for assertively asking for the training I paid for or for a refund so I can get my dog the training he needs and deserves. I would not recommend Training Tracks. Not only because their training skills are questionable, but because the owner is dishonest and unprofessional.

We had high hopes but are unhappy with the outcome…read more We took our dog to Training Tracks for their total immersion program. We didn't get the results we wanted the first time around so our pup went back for a second stay. It went much better but the training regressed after a couple months and we needed help again. Our trainer was unable to commit to helping us and the owner has refused to help. Jeff (the owner) goes days or weeks without responding and has now told us he is unwilling to move forward with a resolution. He has been very unprofessional and I would not recommend this company. Here are a just a few of the issues the owner Jeff still refuses to respond to. I think these issues will help potential customers to understand the environment at Training Tracks. -when we picked our dog up from his first stay with you we found out he had run out of his special diet dog food days before and you had been feeding him some other food without our consent. -we also noticed that the "treats" you were using to train him were goldfish crackers and random human food. We also recall a time when our trainer was going to use cat food but luckily we had actual dog treats. -one of the proposed solutions for our dog biting our hands while giving him treats on a walk was to carry a large wooden spoon with peanut butter on it in the park. This was a major red flag but we tried to trust you as the experts. -one situation that really stands out is your implication that our dog maybe should just never meet other dogs because people in Europe don't allow their dogs to meet others. Really? -also in the training tracks contract, under your responsibilities it states you will respond in 24 hours to our communications. Obviously you are aware that this rarely happened.

After speaking to the owner and explaining that the training was not working, he did not offer me any kind of resolution or refund. He recommended that I get a different breed of dog and so "kindly" offered to train a new breed for "free". My dog did not get the training that most dogs do, which is within their facility. So many dogs at their facility had kennel cough, so my dog received training outside of the facility for a very short amount of time every day (within the training duration) maybe, if my dog had received the type of training that I had paid for and there weren't so many sick dogs at Bulletproof, which is very questionable in itself my dog may have benefited from the training.

I could not be more unhappy with the training that we received for our dog from Bulletproof Dog…read moreTraining in Eastgate. Our dog was a barker and jumper. She didn't have any terrible behavioral issues. She was the most friendly, sweet, LOVING dog we had ever met. Once she cam home from the training, she was very sick. I did not receive updates on her while in training as promised. I was never notified that she was sick. When we picked her up they said she was sneezing from getting bathed. That was not the case, she was sick for a month and on antibiotic for a month. After speaking to Bill about the issue of her being sick and not receiving updates, he refunded $500. Which now in hindsight, I should have received a full refund. Once our dog started to feel better, she has become more aggressive, which she never was. She will not allow us to put any training collar on her as she is so afraid of it and snaps at whoever is putting it on her. We rescued our dog from the side of the road at 8 weeks old. She was not mistreated. She was the sweetest jumping, barking baby. Now, she doesn't trust anyone but our family. No one can go near her in her crate, come to the door, stop for a visit, on walks or in public that she doesn't know. I am not saying that Bulletproof has bad training, I am saying that whatever they did to our family dog was bad training. If she was unable to be trained with normal measures then we should have been notified. She should have been pulled from the program. I believe that she was "zapped" too much and at too high of a level which has made her so afraid and aggressive. The dogs that they train should be trained through positive reinforcement, not zapping the h3ll out of them through fear and PAIN!!!!!! Shame on you, Bulletproof, Cincinnati!!!!!! Shame on you!!!!!!
