My husband and I reached out to Lauren when we got our puppy. We were eager to start training, and…read moreLauren was wonderful with our new, very easily distracted, puppy. She connected with our dog, Andi, immediately. She taught Andi and us the proper way to train. We received weekly tips on how to practice what we all learned, and the training process moved at an appropriate pace for the development of our dog. When we hit a little snag in leash training, Lauren came up with several ideas to differentiate the way that we trained Andi on a leash. While she told us that these new ideas would not be "magic," one solution clicked instantly with Andi and she was a new dog on a leash. We now have a dog that listens, is able to be outside on and off leash, and is a wonderful member of our family. Thanks Lauren for all of your help with Andi!

I wish I had taken the one star Google review that said she's crazy more seriously. That reviewer…read moremust be a very nice person, because to say she's crazy is definitely an understatement. We had her come over for $100, and it turned out to be a nightmare. She came when my puppy woke up--instead of letting me take the puppy to potty, she insisted playing with him until he peed/pooped at the wrong spot. Then she stopped me to pick up the poo, put a treat right next to his poo, and our puppy for the FIRST time ate a piece of poo, because the treat was placed right next to it. Words can't describe how bad the whole 20-minute session was. Her attitude was unprofessional and very condescending, treating us as if we are ignorant people. She kept saying "poor puppy" as if we are abusing him. The worst of the worst: when I cleaned the mess, she said to me "good job"--who does that? My husband and I were utterly shocked. Before she left, she insisted putting a dirty empty water bottle in the playpen to let the puppy chew, while our puppy has various good quality dog toys. We love our puppy dearly, which is exactly why we've been trying different configurations of his playpen and wanted to start training early. But it's the biggest mistake to have used this service. First time and definitely last time.

He did not evaluate my dog, he tried giving me a therapy session that I didn't want or pay for. He sat there telling me I needed to build my confidence and I'm not happy with my life.

Tried getting a refund and he wanted me to pay him more money to get it back and involve lawyers. This company should not be allowed to stay in business. STAY AWAY!!!!!!

DogWorx, lead by Enrique Marquez, is second to none when it comes to dog training. Our Rottie…read morerescue is part of our family, and deciding with whom she would train was a priority and investment. Scout is full of love but was also fearful, shy and high anxiety. We extensively researched trainers in the area prior to selecting DogWorx. Enrique took a great amount of time and care answering our questions, explaining his techniques, and making sure we understood the process. He is the only one we knew had the heart and compassion to do it. He is AWESOME!! We were a little needy for communication along the way, and Enrique always made time to keep us posted on Scout's progress. I also became chronically ill and Scout needed to stay longer than planned -- Enrique did what he had to do to help us as a family as well - going above and beyond training Scout. He is first class all the way. When Scout returned, Enrique spent over 3 hours working with my husband, son, and me ensuring we understood her commands and were confident using them. Any time we had a question, he returned the call right away. And we had quite a few questions!! The skills and confidence Scout gained during her training with DogWorx and Enrique are truly beyond remarkable! She returned confident, calm, happy, proud -- truly amazing!! Taking her for a walk, running errands, having guests at our home, taking her to the vet -- other people's reactions are total WOW, too!! She's simply confident, calm, and happy. She rocks thanks to DogWorx. The most amazing experience was during the recent hurricane. We evacuated to a higher end hotel in Atlanta. Given her manners, we were able to first STAY at the hotel. She earned attention everywhere she went. She was calm, patient, had perfect manners. The last two days of the hurricane we relocated to a hotel in the historic district in Savannah. As we walked around Savannah, she earned the same praises. However, when asked if she had been trained, and we answered yes, DogWorx reputation is known. The constant response was, "Enrique is the best." and "We love seeing DogWorx here in Savannah." If anyone tells you differently, I would question their motives. DogWorx has a huge loyal following, you can see them in action daily, and they are the ultimate professionals. We are away for the Thanksgiving holiday, and we are happy knowing Scout is safe and happy enjoying her DogWorx family. We wouldn't trust her with anyone else.

I cannot say enough great things about Sterling with Big Blue Obedience. Within moments of his…read morefirst visit, our puppy was responsive to him and following his commands. I was truly amazed at how quickly our puppy responded to Sterling. He is incredibly knowledgeable and truly has a gift with dogs. In just a few sessions Sterling taught us how to have our puppy sit, heal and not pull on the leash. Even our vet commented on how different our puppies behavior was since starting training. Sterling was very patient throughout it all and happily answered texts with a few questions I had. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog trainer.

With us, he eventually bonded but not with our adult children. We, through the rescue, reached out to Emily Beddard. She had him for 3 months. During that time, my husband decided he wanted to keep him and just manage the behavior. When the dog was 'ready', Emily contacted us and we drove down to pick him up. He is a changed dog - no longer immediately aggressive, still requires an introduction but has accepted everyone we have introduced, and is a total lovebug with them. The big test was over the holidays and he passed with flying colors. I credit Emily and her team as they provided him with training, but just as importantly heavy socialization and an opportunity to feel safe. When we picked him up, you could see how they loved him. They were also terrific about periodically sending pictures - I could see how happy he was in their care. He continues to be a happy, relaxed dog and we have maintained the introduction protocol that Emily taught us.
