Hello...I'm back. I wanted to just do an update about how Howie is doing. Howie is doing great…read moreand going strong. I think I mentioned in the previous review that I feel like it gave a very strong and stable foundation. He is walking like a good dog- before he would lunge, bark, at everything and nothing and people would cross the street to get away from him. Now, he is pleasant, confident, and not a stressful walking experience. Thinking back, I probably would still send Howie back to Off Leash. I think I could have trained Howie if I had the patience and determination but I found it easier to pay someone to train him and have me take over through their guidance. I believe if you are consistent, it will stick to a dog. I'm thankful that I made the decision to send Howie to board and train program.

Andrew was great to work with. He obviously has extensive experience in this field and knows dogs…read more We just completed a 5 session training and our 7 month old puppy has responded great. He still has some issues with "puppy brain" but he waits to go out and come in the door, he will sit, walk on a loose leash and stay. The training is intensive and oriented to reinforce proper behavior with commands and gestures. I am very pleased with the results and highly recommend Andrew as a trainer. I also purchased his book from Amazon and find it to be an excellent resource to reinforce knowledge on specific commands and as a general resource for training help.

Using his methods we instantly had results and in our case it really was a "one and done" Other trainers purpose seems to be to get you to buy their long term package or they use lots of food treats to correct behavior. This is more of a psychological approach which was exactly what we needed! I highly recommend.

We were at our wits end with our rescue puppy, Moxie. She has vision and neurological problems and…read morenone our training methods were working. We tried 2 other highly recommended trainers before finding Joe. At this point she was totally out of control, barking incessantly, extremely high strung, no socialization, afraid of everything, and relentlessly tormenting our other (much larger) dog. Then came Joe! He is head & shoulders above any trainer we have worked with. He is extremely knowledgeable, confident, easy going, flexible, patient and honest. He let us know she was going to require a LOT of training but if we were persistent it would pay off. After her 21 day (and then some) board & train we saw significant improvement. Joe is always happy to answer questions, make suggestions and find solutions. His training is tailored to your dogs needs. His wife, Lisa, runs a train & play that Moxie goes to once a week. It's been 4 months and we continue to be amazed at Joe & Lisa's dedication, and Moxie's improvement!

He has always been there for us and I appreciate his knowledge and experience. I can't thank Joe enough!

Life changing training taught with love and respect…read more I cannot say enough great things about Susan & the services she offers at N.D.O.T. It was soon into our initial consult with Susan that I knew she was offering something special with the training methods and communication structures that go into her Board & Train services. At the time of our consult we had a 2-year-old energetic blue heeler that was a perfect storm of energy, anxiety, and smarts. Arriving from HSSA, we are the second home for our little girl and knowing she's a working breed we tried to keep her both physically and mentally stimulated. We had already been through courses with another highly rated training facility here in Tucson (multiple individual 6-week courses: beginner-advanced as well as private lessons with trainers from the facility focusing on reactivity). One of the difficulties we still ran into was leash aggression and her anxiety around other dogs. Concerned she was going to hurt another animal or cause health problems to herself we were struggling to find a path to harmony with our little one. During the initial consult we discussed our backstory and the current training methods we were practicing. Susan shared the outline for how her typical board & train program progressed and then she spent time discussing how she planned to tailor the program to focus on the areas we were most concerned with. We left the first meeting with a boarding start date, some diet adjustments [we were overfeeding / treating :( ], and a ton of relief knowing how much we clicked with Susan's outlook/experience/reassurance. After starting and throughout the program Susan gave us regular updates on our little one's progress. It was incredible to witness the growth of confidence and trust this cattle dog gained during her first week with Susan and the pack. She transformed from an anxious, reactive, & lungeing terror around other dogs to a playful, curious, and happy member of Susan's pack. She was getting along with and safely learning how to interact off-leash around dogs of all sizes. During the final half of the program Susan went out of her way to ensure life 'post-graduation' was going to be set for success. We were able to join pack-walks at N.D.O.T. to learn and demonstrate the communication techniques Susan provided us. Susan brought our little one home prior to finishing training to join us for neighborhood walks in our own streets (helping us discover new opportunities for successful play and training in the future). We even got the opportunity to join Susan for multiple field trips with the pup. The communication had improved so much that we were practicing public training outings at everywhere from hardware shops to farmers markets. The program ended after enjoying a wonderful meal on a Resturant patio the pup calmly resting throughout (this is something 3 weeks earlier I never would have believed possible!) I am unable to overstate the gratitude I have for Susan's training and the improved communication skills we have developed with our four-legged loved one because of it. This training pays dividends. Keep Susan's contact info saved because even if it's not today someday you will want it. To me N.D.O.T. is the equivalent of a low-key amazing restaurant or bar. If you know someone who could benefit from working with Susan and you want to give that person the gift of a lifetime then just share Susan's info and let them know she really is life changing.

At the same time I broke my wrist so five months later I had a young dog who had not been socialized and was totally out of control. I was completely overwhelmed. Susan took Benny and after three weeks he was a totally different dog. He is socialized so I can now take him out in public without him causing total chaos. He is now attentive and well mannered. Susan constantly stays in touch with me to check on his progress. It was worth every penny to have Susan work with our dog. I am very grateful for what she has done. Roni Woolston

Cindy is absolutely a master dog trainer. She cares not just that your dog is learning but cares about the overall well being of our dogs.

I am so excited to continue to take classes and watch my dog grow into the great pup he is meant to be with the guidance of Cindy. If you need a superb dog training place, this is where you want to go! I can't wait for our next class to start! Thank you Cindy!

Jeff to the rescue!…read more We have two Jack Russell Terriers and they are a happy handful!!! We have had previous training with some good, but mostly lackluster results. We worked with Jeff for one session and he trained us to be the pack leader in a way where the dogs understood and accepted it. Now instead of rushing the door and being all crazed, it's calm, even when the doorbell rings. They look to us for direction instead of trying to 'protect' us from what's on the other side of the door. We wish we had found Jeff years ago! But you can teach a not-so-young dog new tricks! We will be calling on Jeff again soon to help us be better pet parents!
