The way my dog Rowan has calmed down with the training is wonderful, I get to watch him make decisions and I love seeing his brain calm down. Rowan was already my emotional support dog, but we needed him to be very well trained for when my husband comes home with his service dog. The staff kept us up to date several times a week with pictures on their Facebook page, and Shannon also called to update us. With the training package we chose, Man's Best Friend provided us with their Top Dog Academy online videos. We have lifetime access and we watched them several times at our own pace, we also watched the videos with our kids so they were fully aware of the expectations and new rules with our dog. The 3 hour training session with Shannon was so informative, Shannon clearly loves dogs and is very passionate about her business. She was patient with me, explained things clearly, answered all my questions, and really made me feel like I CAN be the leader my Rowan needs me to be. I know in my heart that Man's Best Friend will be there for us for the life of my Rowan. This training is worth every single penny and I am so grateful that I can trust myself and my Rowan to be a part of every aspect of my life. Thank you Shannon & everyone at Man's Best Friend! We LOVE you!

She is crazy smart, our dog, but also high energy and was bowling over the other (smaller) dogs. I thought I had a good handle on every-day dog training but I was mistaken! In a single lesson, I knew this was a great plan and worth every cent and every minute we spent working between lessons. More than that, though, she gave us suggestions and assistance with the other dogs, since they are part of the household and were part of Essie's needs. I 100% recommend this trainer and have no regrets at all.

Fifi and I were matched with Meredith. Together we chose the Board and Train Camp which included on-leash obedience level 1 and off-leash obedience 2. Meredith is a highly skilled dog trainer with impressive credentials. She has some kinda magical powers over dogs. But, what I liked most is she understood my Fifi's personality and capabilities. . I knew Fifi was in good hands and would be safe during her time away from me. Fifi was returned to me with a solid, SOLID, set of skills. She also is confident, brave and excited to join my daily excursions. We are able to understand each other's language and now we work together very easily. We are very grateful for Meredith's magic !

Did the board & train for a 4.5 month Doberman. First and foremost, my dog came back with a white…read morepatch of fur HE DID NOT HAVE BEFORE. This is from TRAUMA. Vet verified. That should tell you everything you need to know about their training. That horrifying fact aside, they didn't kennel train him or potty train him. Reached out after bringing him home where he peed on the floor 5 times in a three hour period. They said he needed to be on a schedule (that is unreasonable for anyone who isn't retired where they can interact with their dog every hour) then sent me three YouTube videos to train the dog on potty training myself. Which is hilarious because the first video explains how to potty train using the kennel...which would be great if they kennel trained him. But they undeniably did not. He'll bark for HOURS in his kennel even after being fed, walked, and gone to the bathroom. Asked for at least a 50% refund since they finished teaching him how to sit (we already started this and had this working most of the time) taught him how to lay down (we didn't care about that) and taught him how to place (we also didn't care about that) everything else we asked for and was offered on their site for the board and train (which is about 8 or so things) was not trained. Their solution to not get him to pull on a leash was to give him a prong collar. Cool, except not. They stopped responding and issued no refund. Have disputed it with the bank as I've clearly been scammed and didn't get anything nearly out of this for what I paid for. I've reached out to two other dog trainers. One saw him 4 days after he left their facility to confirm what was and wasn't trained. They've confirmed whatever Enzo's claims to have trained him for potty training and kennel training were false. He howls for hours in his kennel and still had accidents. Total waste of $2,500. Save your money, go somewhere else if you want anything trained into your dog that isn't "sit"

I had my dog at Enzo's Acres about 4 years ago now and had a horrible experience that they never…read moremade right. I wrote a review about my dog being injured when I got him back and had zero response from the trainers at all. They blamed the metal on the ecollar and said he might be allergic to the metal and suggested that he may need the hypoallergenic version (which is funny because I bought that collar and gave them the entire contents of the box that included the one they were talking about him possibly needing) As I've already written a review about that experience, I don't want to go into too much detail... but as it was so long ago I can't update the post at all, as I'm looking at getting my younger dog into a board and train soon I was given more resources from reputable trainers to know whether a training facility has met certain requirements or not in order to know if you should take your dog there. Well I just happened to be curious and did a search for Enzo's acres on these resources and come to find out they aren't a certified member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers... or any other training association that I can find. I thought I would make sure that this information is out there so people can make an educated decision of where to take their beloved pets to. This picture is of one of the 2 wounds that my dog came home with from Enzo's acres. It required an emergency vet visit and antibiotics. What was the worst was they didn't even mention it to me at all! They also removed my review of them on Facebook and blocked me from commenting/replying on anything on their page. That is HORRIBLE business practice as I only went there due to amazing reviews. So if they deleted my review and blocked me I ABSOLUTELY KNOW they did it to others as well. This is HORRIBLE BUSINESS PRACTICES!

Unfortunately, even…read moreafter much due diligence in asking for personality and ability to live with other dogs from the shelter and rescue- we were given false information. What arrived at our doors was a thin, traumatized 15 month old dog that was very reactive to all dogs. Thankfully she was good with people. We tried everything to get her to integrate with the current "pack" and sought (and paid) for several dog trainers, with no success. After two months we were exhausted and thinking of returning her. Then we found Paul- with his advice and assistance we were able to turn this scared (large) dog into a love bug. She now gets along with the pack, is quite the snuggler and listens to her commands. We have also realized that she will never be "a dog park" dog, but she is doing well on leash and is continually improving her leash reactivity with dogs She meets and greets people calmly. Would highly recommend Paul. He's not fancy and is very direct, but it works and that's what counted for me. We continue to visit Paul weekly for doggy daycare or if we needed boarding for a trip and she always comes home tired and relaxed. Highly recommend.
