Having adopted Ellie recently, she did not have the best manners, and really had not undergone any sort of training her whole life. We knew she could use the extra help with some professional training. She had poor leash skills, jumped up on us and strangers all the time, and chewed objects around the house. After the two week training camp, Ellie is basically a different dog (see YouTube video below from her second week of training camp). She has great leash walking skills, responds very well to "no", will sit in "place" (her bed) and stay, and is all around a better behaved dog. We even had follow up lessons with Jonathan to make sure we know how all the training commands and techniques worked and to help us stay on top of it. Jonathan was nice enough to even work with our other dog and give us tips for him. I would definitely recommend San Antonio Dog Training Co to friends and family and believe the price is very worth it (Yet their prices are much more reasonable than many local training camps). https://youtu.be/LMe1qWVPWkY

Cyndi's approach using positive reinforcement has made all the difference in the world. She has been incredibly patient and supportive with us too as we learned along with Willow in the comfort of our own home.

Im confident that Cyndi's professionalism and commitment to the best interest of our puppy helped us accomplish in one short month what otherwise would have taken many months. I highly recommend Cyndi, especially if you want a trainer who is dedicated to helping your furry family member get a terrific head start.

They worked really well with her, gave her time to settle in. When I would drop her off in the am we greeted in a nice friendly way by Scott. Robert took her every morning and walked her around. I mentioned she was leery of the techs going to vans in the parking lot and he got her out there to observe them. Kendall her main trainer was a positive force for her and she really likes her now. (This is big for this girl and her fears) She has become more focused and listens much better. Took her to pickup curbside on our way home from class, normally she backs away from the curbside employee or tries to go up front. Today she sat nicely in the car, watched them and didn't try to get away from. Big improvement. I look forward to watching her become even more confident with her group classes. Highly recommend!

Kaitlan Rester is wonderful with our littermate puppies, Reggie and Lambeau. She was the first…read moreperson they met, outside of our vet, when they were only 5 months old. Ever since, they truly love seeing her! We have worked with Kaitlin in two private lessons and enrolled in the puppy kindergarten class for them both with her and Hannah Barrera (they love Hannah too). In the private sessions with Kaitlan, she has helped us work with both dogs on basic commands, long leash training, and behavior issues. (they're still learning manners!) Here's the thing...litter-mates are hard and a LOT of work...more than anything I've ever done. There are days I literally feel like I just want to collapse from exhaustion. It is a job in and of itself. The upside? If you want to lose 10 lbs. ....get litter-mate puppies. :) I do love them, though. In all seriousness, litter-mates are a whole other ballgame that I wouldn't recommend to anyone because it's so much work and there can be a lot of issues. It's better to get one dog that's older. All that said, we're working DILIGENTLY to manage behavior and avoid serious issues and, of course, we love our dogs so much. It's absolutely critical that we provide the best training....which means we have a lot to learn ourselves! Maybe that's why we were drawn to rescuing them as litter-mates. We take training our super cute, litter-mate, exhausting puppies, sometimes gremlins, very seriously. Both Kaitlan and Hannah have a calm presence with our energetic dogs (and me) and got us through the first round of basic training in puppy kindergarten by using positive reinforcement techniques. Kaitlan has helped us in private training. If you're looking for puppy or dog training classes and/or private training, I highly recommend!

We waited a full year to share our experience with All Dogs Unleashed to reflect the long-term…read moreimpact on our dogs. While staff were friendly, the program felt largely misrepresented to us. In October 2024, we enrolled our two dogs (8 y/o + 2 y/o) in a 4-week board-and-train program specifically to address resource guarding. Both dogs had a history of resource guarding, which we had managed successfully, but the behavior had recently escalated and we wanted professional support. We were assured multiple times that resource guarding would be addressed through individualized obedience training. Communication during training was limited. We had to initiate contact, and updates generally indicated that the dogs were doing well. No concerns were raised to us about their behavior or suitability for the program. Upon returning home, our younger dog appeared extremely fearful and hesitant, taking nearly 15 minutes to approach us despite reassurance. During the "live demo," commands like "place" were enforced with excessive e-collar corrections. The dogs seemed confused, stressed, and did not appear to have any understanding of the commands being given. Bad manners, like jumping, were still present even during this session. When we asked how resource guarding had been addressed, the sole reason we signed up, the trainer said, "We never saw this behavior ourselves, so it wasn't addressed," without further elaboration. The dogs displayed resource guarding behaviors during this session, and she instructed us to "just use the e-collar whenever they do something you don't want," which directly contradicted advice from the manager that punishing guarding could significantly worsen it. When we raised concerns multiple times both during this session and afterward, we generally felt dismissed and were told for a long time to "let them adjust" before seeking more training. Our youngest began frequently urinating in her crate, a behavior she had never displayed before. When we asked about this, we were recommended to see a vet. They did offer another training session, but we ultimately felt it was not the right decision to continue with them. A veterinarian confirmed her urination was stress-related, consistent with the behaviors we noticed during the return session. She has since required daily anti-anxiety medication for fear-based behaviors that arose immediately after she returned home. Over a year later, their obedience is unchanged from before the program, and we have had to cope with long-term stress and anxiety for our dogs. We spent about $5,000 on a program that failed to address our primary concern and left lasting negative effects on us. We don't recommend this business and encourage anyone seeking professional training to choose a trainer whose approach is tailored to their dogs' specific needs and training goals.
