The first time we met Andrew, he came to our house to meet our newest editions: two 7 m/o, rescued,…read morepitbull littermates - Frankie and Ellie - who had developed some issues while running the streets but had not lost a bit of their boundless puppy energy. Andrew spent an hour or two at the house, observing the dogs and talking to us about what we were hoping to accomplish relative to what he was seeing. Before leaving, he gave us a couple of simple things to work on prior to the start of our consecutive board-and-train sessions two weeks later. Frankie and Ellie are now back with us and while they still have enormous amounts of energy, their ability to respond to commands, walk with a loose leash (zero pulling) and maintain their "place" is incredible! Selective use of the e-collars has even allowed us to redirect their attention in the midst of their loudest, most raucous roughhousing episodes. We can't recommend Andrew enough. He has a way that brings about significant behavioral changes in the dogs while building the confidence of owners: it's amazing to witness the transformations. We are so grateful that we found Andrew and would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone looking to reconnect and improve their relationship with their dog(s)!

Ruby is our rambunctious 3-month-old golden retriever and they helped her become much more self-regulating, polite, and confident--it feels like we have a much happier and secure puppy now. Madison worked with her on all the essentials--basic commands, leash manners, and appropriate behavior in new environments--but what really stood out was how thoughtfully they approached real-life situations. They helped her learn how to walk calmly, settle herself, and even confidently handle outings into stores and unfamiliar settings. They clearly understand how to help support a well-adjusted, secure dog. We feel so much more confident as owners, too. Couldn't recommend Bark Tutor Training more highly!

But if you've got new young puppers in your family, this is the place to take them. The trainers and staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable and genuinely love all of the doggos so much. They get a very good read on their personalities in the small group setting, and mix and group dogs accordingly in different spaces while also allowing time for breaks and hydration. The space is always super clean and inviting, with big windows in the front to see the main play area. Our dog Oliver is a very assertive player, and they always make sure he gets to play his way -- even if it's with the staff! If I'm honest, our guy has probably aged out of Bark Tutor, but we keep bringing him back because it's his favorite place in the world. He's been to daycare at many other places in and out of town, but nothing gets his bottom wiggling like a day at Bark Tutor.

I enrolled my dog in Level 2 training but chose to withdraw due to ongoing concerns with both the…read moretraining approach and overall customer experience. During sessions, communication from the trainer was often abrupt and, at times, dismissive. Instructions would be overridden mid-process, with the trainer stepping in to physically take control of my dog instead of allowing me to complete the exercise. This created confusion for my dog and disrupted the trust and consistency I was trying to build. I noticed big regressions in my dog's behaviors who had already mastered simple behaviors but simply signed up for permission of the social part to allow my dog to take advantage of their play area which has also been condemned by others. While Camp Bow Wow owners, who are also the trainers, are sold on reintroducing known skills, i.e., "sit," with their incentive methods--such as hand signals that were not part of her original training--without a clear transition seemed to add to that confusion. The inconsistency between my handling and the trainer's approach made it difficult to reinforce anything effectively at home. There were moments that felt unnecessarily harsh. For example, when my dog was in heat, the situation was handled with urgency and comments that came across as unprofessional rather than constructive. Customer service was another issue. Phone interactions were often abrupt, including being placed on hold without explanation and occasionally met with argumentative responses. In person, there were instances where staff handled situations without clear communication--such as physically repositioning my dog without first asking--which could have been handled more respectfully. Overall, I expected a more collaborative and professional environment, especially for a training setting where consistency and trust are critical.

I searched a lot, and then I found Alpha K9 for swimming. I wanted a place which can train and let my pups play for a bit. The process of registering my puppies was easy. I had to send a couple of documents online. Hannah was very quick each time giving me a call back and she explained everything to me. My first and second session were great Hannah helped and although me my pup was fussy she she got it. I think the place is huge. There's a lot for every pup. Boarding, training theres quite some activities. The only thing that could be a concern for me in the long run is $75 for 30 minutes, which is a lot for my budget. Otherwise I think that's a great place with kind people who love animals.
