They are responsive to calls and texts in between classes, so you never feel like you're on your own. With dog trainers, you get what you pay for and this is the best money we've ever spent. I only wish we trained with them with our 2 previous St. Bernards! We did the 14 day puppy board and train aka puppy camp. Our girl returned well established in her training. We're continuing with off leash training and it's been highly successful thus far. A well trained dog is a happy dog AND a happy owner!

After reading all of the marvelous online reviews, I paid $3000 for the two week board and train…read moreprogram. It took two months to get my dog worked in with the trainer. At that point, I had pretty reliably taught her to sit, stay, and come. What I really needed was on & off leash heel, lie down, and for her to do all of the aforementioned with distractions. I've had my dog since she was 7 weeks old, she is pure-bred pedigreed Labrador Retriever, sweet tempered and quite bright. No behavioral issues! When I came to pick her up after two weeks, she had learned NO additional skills! She would not heel or lie down, and would not come to me when distracted. I return her to the trainer, and expressed my disappointment, that my $3000 was essentially spent on dog sitting. She took my dog back for an another full week at no additional charge. Afterwards she told me that she received NOTHING from her boss for doing this (the franchise owner) and took my dog back simply because she did not want me to be dissatisfied. She made some progress in that final week, but we still have a loooong way to go. I do not fault the trainer! She did her best and took my dog on for an additional week for free. The company is a franchise. She shared with me that the owner is in Greenville, he is not even a dog trainer (she described him as a businessman), and she has never met him. She also shared that she JUST QUIT! Her issue was that 2 weeks is not enough time to train a dog to do all of this things that they advertise. Customers were regularly upset when their expectations weren't met. It takes at least 4-5 weeks to accomplish good on-leash results, let alone off leash. I feel like "Off-Leash" over promised knowing that they would likely underperform. The franchisee relies on internet marketing, and a slick phone call/email/text sales pitch. Perhaps the other training service are good, because the trainer that I met seemed excellent - but with the 2 week board and train, the trainers are set up to fail. I wouldn't call it a "scam" but from my experience, and that of others I have talked with since then, you are VERY unlikely to be satisfied. There are other operations right here in Lexington that will do board and train for 4-5 weeks, charge about the same, and not make any "off leash promises". That seems much more realistic and honest. Buyer beware!!!

My experience with Pack Pride Academy has been absolutely miserable. Amber admitted on the phone…read morethat training was not provided as contracted, and even before that, it was very difficult to get any updates about our dog during his alleged training. My dog came back to me not at all himself and not improved in behavior either. The trainer, Sean, said that my dog was still having the problems that we asked to have fixed when we picked him up. Later, Amber said Sean "shouldn't have said that."Even though Amber agreed to a refund months ago, we have yet to receive it or any verification that a refund has been initiated. She has fought our chargebacks through our credit card but not contacted us. It also appears that she has removed her Google business listing and replaced it with a listing for web development. Had I known what I know now, I would never have left my dog in the care of Pack Pride Academy.

First off, Richard is a passionate and talented man, it's easy to see from the moment you meet him; Richard does what he loves. Second, he speaks dog... like direct communication, but what's cool is before I knew it, I was communicating with my babies even better. He was teaching me to talk to the dogs the whole time and I had no clue. Third, he inspired me! It is not often you meet somebody with the courage to walk away from every comfort they know to pursue something they love. Richard listened to what I wanted to do, I wanted to strengthen the bond between myself and the dogs. I already see a difference, they do too. I've worked with several trainers in the past and never felt a comfortable, or confident connection and neither did my dogs. I don't know who's more excited about our next lesson, me or the dogs. I can tell you there's more to come. If you want to get to know your dogs better and really strengthen that bond, call Richard. I assure you; you won't have any regrets.
