If you are looking for a dog training facility that treats you and your doggo like family this is…read morethe place! Cory and her staff treat you like they have known you forever from your first phone call and beyond from picking up your baby. They will be blunt and honest about the changes that need to happen on our end, but it is absolutely necessary to get the best doggos out of it and for continued growth. My Oliver Marsh was with them for 3 weeks, I received report cards with pictures reinforcing the sense of trust I had in them. When I say that if I felt even 1% off about them, I would have ate the non refundable cost and walked away with my boy. Cory and her staff continue their communication even after you are home. They never make you feel like you are asking too many questions or that they are stupid. We are excited to continue our trainings at group days and Oliver will be boarded to get any refreshers, plus he just fell in love with everyone there!! It has only been 4 days from picking up Oliver but the entire family can see a difference and the progress him and I have made. Just remember if you invest into your dog when these wonderful human beings, the work really start when you bring your baby home. Can not say enough great things about these ladies, i feel as if they are an extended part of our family!

My husband and I purchased both the boarded puppy camp & the specialized boarded service dog…read moretraining for a total of just under $8k. Before starting puppy camp, we explained behaviors our puppy was having trouble with at home. They assured us they would be able to help with everything. After going through the 2 week boarded puppy camp, none of the behavioral issues showed any improvement. Our puppy also did not display competency with the basic obedience commands he was supposed to learn. I figured he's still a puppy & the additional service dog training will get him all worked out. Unfortunately the service dog training was a complete waste. After all that training, our dog would only perform basic obedience tasks with a correction leash over his nose. If the leash was not on, all bets were off. As for the service tasks, they're non-existent. This facility prides themselves on not using treats to train. However, when they demonstrated the service task he "learned" on pick up day, they brought out peanut butter. I was very confused. While holding the peanut butter in the air, they got our dog to jump up & put his paws on them. His service task IS to jump up & put his paws on my husband when he's having a mental health episode. The problem is, my husband won't have peanut butter on hand when his dog needs to alert. Our dog only learned to jump on people carrying food. Nothing more. After I took some time to think about the situation, I sent an email explaining our disappointments, & that we have to put our dog through another program. (We did find a great trainer that was able to train our dog correctly-but it cost another $6,000.00). They responded to my email without taking responsibility for anything and refused to issue a refund. We would have been happy with even a partial refund, because they did board our puppy for weeks, even though he didn't get the training he was supposed to. How they explained their training methods, the training we were supposed to receive, & our responsibilities as the owners in their response email, was completely different than what we were told in person. In a nutshell were told we would be getting a dog that was finished in basic obedience & his service task training. They ended up saying we misunderstood, & that their program is a 'hybrid' model where they start the training, but we complete it ourselves at home. No where on their website are the services we purchased described that way, nor does it say anything about a hybrid model in the contract we signed. We were very clear we were looking for a program that would finish basic obedience & service task training. They confidently told us they would do that, & at home we would only need to reinforce what the dog had already learned. I don't think anyone would pay $8,000.00 to have a dog started only, & need to be self trained to finish. Especially not a service dog. After this, we did training classes at Petco to keep the puppy learning & socialized until his start date with the new trainer. Petco initially let us join their intermediate class, thinking our puppy would be ok since he'd been through so much boarded training with US Dog Training Camp. We were demoted to level 1 basic puppy training on our first day of class. That's tells you everything you need to know. We actually had an employee put their dog through a boarded training program with these guys at the same time. Neither of us knew the other had our dogs at this place until we saw the dogs together on their social media page. He was just as disappointed with his results & was sick he spent $5k. He feels his dogs behavior is actually worse after coming home.

It was after several years of dog-sitting a Dog Wizard graduate (Cooper) for weeks at a time that…read morewe knew when we brought home our (Tizzy), mannerless, hyper, barking, stubborn, six pounds of fur and bark, we needed the Dog Wizard's help. Destiny Spence, was assigned to us by The Dog Wizard (louisville@thedogwizard.com). Their system worked well and met our needs. First, we were able to easily schedule all of our appointments in advance. Because Tizzy was six months old and we had a time crunch for completing her training, we opted for the private "in-home and public spaces plan. After meeting Tizzy, AND US, Destiny agreed that was what Tizzy needed. Destiny took charge and quickly showed us how to get Tizzy's attention, reward, and NOT reward her behavior. She did the same with us, too, because only one of us is almost a disciplinarian. After each class, Destiny sent us a reminder of what was covered and expected in the next class. Tizzy successfully graduated by passing all her classes. She knows how to walk correctly on a leash, place on the spot where I want her, come to me ALL OF THE TIME, even when she's outside, and that NO means stop whatever she's doing. Our house is much quieter now because she knows NO means stop barking and being hyper. An added compliment to Destiny is that she was prompt, consistently communicated with all of us, and was honest in pointing out when we were the problem, not Tizzy. Yes, we highly recommend The Dog Wizard and Destiny Spence for both dogs and their family members. ADDITIONAL COMMENT: THE ONE NEGATIVE COMMENT ON YELP IS ABOUT THE FRANKFORT LOCATION. PLEASE IGNORE AS IT SHOULD BE REMOVED.

Stephanie is INCREDIBLE!! I would recommend her (and have) to anyone with a new pup or rescue dog…read more The difference was night & day with my 7 month old rescue lab. Prior to training she would drag me on walks and didn't know a single command. After just one session with Stephanie she was walking nicely by my side and by the end of training is a well behaved canine citizen. She can sit, down, place, and much more. I feel more confident with my handling of her and it has taken a lot of stress out of my life. I also love that Stephanie works on whatever you and your pup are having specific issues with (food aggression, reactivity, car riding, etc.) and it's not a cookie cutter program for every dog. She comes to you and is flexible in scheduling your weekly sessions! I highly recommend her!

In my opinion, you will find none better than Doug with Bark Busters.

WORTH EVERY PENNY AND ASTONISHINGLY FAST!…read more Doug Rountree with Bark Busters of Louisville is fantastic! In the first hour, he completely changed the way we interact with our dog. Before we began the training, our puppy was lovable but demanding and thought she was in charge of our whole family. Practically 90% of her behavior problems (like mouthing/biting, barking, jumping on people, pulling) are virtually gone in less than a day! The rest are already much improved and I'm sure those will continue to get better as we reinforce our expectations with her. Our home is a much more peaceful, enjoyable place and our pup definitely seems happier and less stressed now that we have set clear, consistent rules in a language that she can understand. I love that it's done without treats or physical correction but instead uses how dogs naturally communicate to change behavior. Thank you Doug!
