*using same review from broadway location since we train at both facilities *…read more In 2021, i thought that my people/dog aggressive blue heeler was unfixable and possessed the potential fate of being put down. It is now Jan 3, 2023 and I am truly so happy with SMS. My consultation was late December 2021 with Austin at the Broadway location. I explained to him my concerns and goals and he was very enthusiastic about Bojack's potential with the program. Austin had me test the e-collar for my own reassurance as an owner. (test was on fatty area of the palm). I never had doubts about using this sort of training tool, especially with a dog like Bojack which I knew needed something more than just a "good boy! here's a pat on the head". Bojack did the 6 day course where he attended a daycare-like setting at the Broadway facility 3 days for 2 weeks. (He was muzzled for each class which I fully supported). After every class, I would get a lesson on what Bojack learned such as how to use the e-collar and the basic commands that follow with it, (heel, place, sit, down, stay, come). Bojack already knew these commands from a previous program he did but I was mostly looking forward to the years' worth of group classes that are included in the price. (these group classes were the absolute selling point for me. I was very dedicated to Bojack's progress). Bo's first group class was Jan 27, 2022. It has been almost an entire year and I truly can't believe the progress he has made with SMS. In these past 12 months, Bo has truly mastered most of the commands and exercises that we do during group class. Bojack has now been accepted into the brand new Advanced II class that will consist of weekly field trips for higher-skilled exercises and a more challenging environment. This is all credited towards the amazing trainers he has seen throughout the year: Patricia and Mike throughout the year, Zach for the last half of the year and Isaac for these past couple weeks. (also a big thank you to all the trainees/newer employees that help run the facility). I am not going to lie, Bojack still has reactivity issues, but I have accepted and so should you, (if you are a severely reactive dog owner), that these behaviors will likely not go away due to many unique reasons. BUT, what you CAN do is learn how to be proactive. Proactivity and consistency is the key for owning dogs like these. You can't expect to drop a couple grand on SMS, not attend any group classes and then expect a cured dog. Those group classes are absolutely vital to you and your dog's training abilities. Being consistent is so important, I can't stress that enough. With the dedication I put into Bo and SMS for the past 12 months, I can now take Bo to any crowded place and feel confident in his ability to execute an excellent heel walk while walking by distractions amongst other commands. Thank you trainers and Lisa for the environment you created, for the training you provided and the confidence you instilled in me and Bo :)

Guys, I just can't say enough about Shanti! She may be a new business owner and I'm sure there are…read moreother trainers out there that have been in business longer than she's been alive, but her work ethic speaks for itself. She has never rescheduled or been late, and she has the fairest prices in San Antonio. Duke, my 60+ pound rescue LOVES her and more importantly he's a different dog since training with Shanti. Her training techniques are built on positive reinforcement versus punishment as evidenced by his whip of a tail wagging full force when he sees his trainer. Shanti still needs to work more on me, but pet parents are the hardest right ;) I am so happy to support a woman-owned business but also overly satisfied with the excellent service we've gotten so far! ---Duke's mom

Working with Mike is essential if you want CONFIDENCE and FREEDOM for your dog (and yourself!!)…read more There is nothing quite like seeing your dog trust your leadership and overcome one of their triggers! Mike has worked with me and Rockie since she was a pup and has helped her overcome everything from jumping, pulling, excitability to reactivity, anxiousness, and building confidence off leash! I love that he offers group classes multiple times a week to keep our skills sharp/socialize and Board and Stays for when I am out of town! I get so much more bang for my buck vs. sending Rockie to an overcrowded daycare. I can't say enough about how intentional, intelligent, and to the point Mike is. I always leave feeling encouraged, empowered, and more connected with my pup! At Dogzilla, there are NO BAD DOGS! 11/10 would recommend!

His methods and ways of training are immaculate compared to others I have experienced in the past. I would highly only recommend him to anyone looking to have a well behaved pup in the family! It was a big plus that my little lady absolutely LOVED David! She was always fearful of strangers and men more specifically, and David helped change that. Her anxious chewing and separation anxiety were also remedied and subsided as we worked with David and now she is a social happy pup! I highly recommend K9 Clarity to anyone looking for an amazing trainer !

He starts with the fundamentals that allow you give quick corrections as the training gets more complex. He's great at walking you through each step, explaining the 'why' behind it, and then moves at the pace that you're comfortable with. If you're consistent and you practice often, you'll see the rewards! He is very patient, great at explaining and showing and correcting if you're not doing it quite right, and as I said before, he gives you the 'why' behind everything which I think is so so so important. I was able to wrap my head around the concept and now I can better understand my dog and her behaviors, which allows me to effectively correct them!
