Where to start.... meeting April, and her meeting my little Lucci has literally changed our lives…read more Lucci is a rescue, who suffered some abuse in his previous life, and was holding quite a grudge. I've had a few different dog trainers attempt to work with him, with slow to no results. He's a challenging little guy, but an absolute love (full of kisses) once he trusts someone... but that was a very small circle of friends and family (most of whom don't live in LA). So, I was without reliable care for him. It was preventing me from being able to travel for work as much as I needed to, and was also sad for him to have such a limited social circle. Then, a friend at work told me about April. I will admit it took a few weeks to call, and I was expecting similar results as we've had in the past. Our appointment finally came, and well.. what happened next still amazes me. Within an hour, not only was she able to pet and leash my usually untouchable-by-strangers dog, but he was rushing up to give her kisses?!!?!! I was shocked and happy and emotional and just so very very relieved. In the last 6 months or so, she's been working with Lucci regularly, and the change in his demeanor is astonishing. He's a new little man. He has overcome an aversion to big dogs, made friends with many other dogs and returns to me happy and relaxed. I'm able to have friends over to my house without being concerned about him being aggressive, and needing to go in his crate (where he would bark non-stop). Instead, we now have a great routine for having people over, and he is actually excited to see friends come over to the loft. I've been able to travel stress and guilt free, knowing that he's having a fabulous time in my absence. ....and this last week, for the first time since I've rescued him, he was able to go to an off leash dog park. He did great! No issues with dogs or people, and just enjoyed himself. I'm so incredibly grateful for what April has done for us both.

Jason and Laura are the trainers behind Tally-Ho and they are LEGIT! We had five weekly visits with Tally-Ho to help us understand our female chihuahua (who is a handful) and we got concrete advice that genuinely improved both her behavior and our ability to communicate with her. Jason has studied extensively and is licensed by one of the top schools in the US for canine obedience training, and it shows. His style is direct and he will tell you exactly what you need to work on and how to maintain your results. Prices are very affordable for what you receive; we were always impressed by how Jason and Laura would take extra time with us if it was needed in order to truly ensure that we understood the lesson. Our little chi girl is much more relaxed now that we are all on the same page and she has the structure and guidance which her breed needs in order to feel secure. We couldn't be more grateful. If you want common sense and evidence based support for you and your dog(s) give Tally-Ho a call and thank me later :)

Mookie joined us 4 1/2 years ago when our grown daughter rescued him from Animal Control and brought him home to me as a surprise. He had been a stray for some time and was in poor physical condition. He was critically emaciated, had an extreme case of mange, and had several serious infections. Mookie and I immediately bonded on his joining the family. We became inseparable, everywhere I went Mookie followed. He even slept snuggled with me and his head on my chest. With his newfound health, Mookie became quite active, wanting to play, go on walks, run in open spaces, and explore the surrounding world. Unfortunately, it was not long before my wife and I could not control him due to his increasing strength and strong independent alpha personality. Additionally, Mookie began jumping up on anyone entering the house. He also began barking unrelentingly and jumping at windows whenever he noticed anyone in our yard. Most concerning, Mookie went from a shy dog who cowered at the sight of other dogs to becoming increasingly aggressive toward other dogs. On a couple of occasions when dogs approached Mookie, he initiated fights. This brought walks and outings to an end. My wife and I became seriously concerned that we might have to give Mookie up or worse if we could not find a means of correcting his growing behavioral problems. The thought of losing Mookie devastated us both, as he was such a loving and affectionate dog who had won our hearts. I brought the situation to our veterinarian's attention asking for advice. He suggested I take Mookie to a trainer and recommended one in our area. I contacted the trainer, and we began our training. Mookie and I went for four months of 2-hour private sessions 3 days a week. While Mookie showed some improvement, he could still be a handful and had made no progress with his dog aggression. Frustrated, I began to search for a new trainer. After an extensive assessment of over 15 dog training services in Harris and Montgomery counties, we found Jason and Laura and knew immediately our search was over. Jason clearly stood above all other trainers we had spoken with. After Jason's meeting and assessment of Mookie, he agreed to place him in his three-week intensive board and train program. On Mookie's return, my wife and I were both speechless. We couldn't believe this was the same dog. Mookie sat, laid down, and "Parked-It" on his raised bed repeatedly. More impressive, he remained in the commanded position and location until he was "Freed" regardless of duration. Further astonishment came when Laura rang the front doorbell. Mookie remained quiet and at my side in our living room. The same held true when Laura knocked on the door. Following this, Jason pointed out how Mookie no longer jumped on anyone entering the home. He now sat patiently, waiting to be approached and acknowledged. Next, Jason took us all for a walk. Again, Mookie was a completely different dog. He no longer pulled or even led the walk. He remained immediately at Jason's side regardless of any change Jason made in speed or direction. On Jason handing me the reins, Mookie did just the same for me. Most impressive was when we encountered a dog. Mookie remained calm, not bark or even a growl, he just kept on walking at my side. We observed several additional behavioral rectifications and obedience compliances, all of which were just as impressive as those mentioned above. One year has passed since Mookie returned home from his three-week training camp and I am in awe of Jason's achievements. He truly transformed our dog. Mookie remains a wonderful, well-behaved, and obedient dog. Mookie's metamorphosis is remarkable. It is allowing us to spend considerably more time together. We are now able to explore and share new experiences together, which is bringing us ever closer and enriching each of our lives. I cannot thank Jason and Laura enough! Ken & Julie Goodhue

**Extremely Disappointed and Concerned About Safety Practices**…read more I had taken my 9-month-old Rottweiler to The Dog Club for several months, trusting that he was in a safe and professionally managed environment. Unfortunately, I later learned that the owner had knowingly allowed a highly reactive--borderline aggressive--Sheltie to interact with the general dog population for over two years. I first became aware of this dog's unstable behavior during a Saturday class led by one of the trainers, and I had hoped the situation was being responsibly managed. It was not. Eventually, I received a call notifying me that my pup had been involved in an "altercation." What actually happened was far more serious. The aggressive Sheltie had lunged at another dog, rebounded into my Rottie, and when my dog tried to set a boundary, the Sheltie escalated. My dog was left traumatized and had visible scabs on his neck after the encounter. As is often the case, the larger dog was unfairly blamed. The fact that this Sheltie had a long history of reactivity--and was still being allowed to roam freely among other dogs--is completely unacceptable. Using the general dog population as a "buffer" for this Sheltie's behavior was reckless and dangerous. Most reputable daycares would never allow this dog to remain in group settings, let alone for two years. To make matters worse, when I met with the owner to express my concerns, she took absolutely no accountability. Her proposed "solution" was to isolate my Rottie behind a gated area where he could watch other dogs play, while staff would spend one hour a day with him--an arrangement she admitted was also being used for the Sheltie. In other words, my well-adjusted, social dog was being punished for defending himself against an unstable dog who should never have been in group play in the first place. The Dog Club failed my dog, and I would strongly caution other dog owners--especially those with large breeds--to think twice before trusting this facility with their pets' well-being. The owner herself even stated that her staff cannot handle my Rottie as he is "too Strong". That should probably be put in her advertisement then!

I have taken my dogs here for a few years, both for boarding and daycare. The staff has always been…read morenice, and I fully trusted them to care for my dogs. Recently I took them in, and when the webcams came on, I saw that one of my my dogs had an extra collar on. I called to make sure it wasn't a shock collar, and was assured multiple times that the collar was not capable if shocking, it only beeps or vibrates. I was also told the collar would only be on her for short periods of time. I was watching the cam extra, to make sure my dog was not reacting badly to the collar, and saw the video attached. My dog (white/red on right hand side) was just standing there, no bark or anything, and obviously the collar either shocked or vibrated. My dog goes spinning out of view, and is still losing it a bit when she comes back in view. The employee takes the collar off and puts it back on a few seconds later. I called immediately and this time the owner answered. I let her know I was on my way to get my dogs and told her to have the collar taken off immediately. She asked what kind of collar my dog had on, and I told her it looks like a shock collar and asked if they use them. AGAIN I was told, this time by the owner, they don't use shock collars, they only vibrate. When I got there to pick up my dogs, she stated that what I saw online was just the first time the collar had vibrated (this was at 1:00, and she had been wearing it since at least 10 am when the cameras turn on) and that's why she had a strong reaction. When I asked to see one of the collars, they finally admitted the collars do have the capability to shock, they just "don't use that function" the lead trainer came down and tried to explain that they had taken the collar off multiple times, but had to put it back on again. Unfortunately, I know this not to be true. The only time they took that collar off was to adjust it. He admitted the collar was put on shortly after they got there, which was somewhere around 8 am. Whether the collar shocked my dog, or just vibrated, I know that the owner, lead trainer, and the lady that is usually at the front desk, all lied to me, and they used an e-collar without letting me know, didn't remove it when my dog had a strong reaction to it, and they used it in a manner that is outside their own policy, as the owner herself told me they should only be on for short periods. This situation would have been easily solved with a little honesty during my first call. Unfortunately, my dogs won't be returning, and I would never again reccomend this business for anyone who needs trustworthy care for their dogs.
