    My pack is a motley crew all adopted from ACCT Philly, where i have volunteered.each has his own…read morefears, anxieties and personality.i needed obedience training and cohesion and confidence in my pack. Melissa Windsor and Elisa LaFont are rescue partners of ACCT Philly and they pull many dogs through their rescue, Balanced Buddies. After researching various dog training philosophies, I felt that the Pressure and Release approach would work best for my fearful dogs. This method is basically leash training. They came to our house and we formed a group for lessons. Over 5 weeks in my backyard we saw an amazing transformation in my pack. They recognize and enjoy my leadership.They are mych more relaxed and trusting of my leadership. Basically, I learned to lead and communicate to my dogs what I expect of them. Elisa and Melissa are smart, funny and professional. With an easy to understand philisophy and lots of laughs, they did amazing things with my dogs:) dog training with the Unmistakeable Dog was one of the smartest decisions I ever made

    Elisa and her team worked wonders with our headstrong little cockapoo. We slipped up and needed to…read moreretrain her in the crate at 9 months. One night was all it took! Elisa also helped us discover that our picky eater (rejected all kibble) would devour "puploaf," which is easy and affordable to make. We have a whole new pup thanks to Elisa. Her attention to detail and responsivenesss were so appreciated. Strong recommendation!

    MY Dog was trained up at their farm . Now He is a mentor dog and goes up to the farm one a week …read more It is great he loves it Laura is really fantastic with him in the van in East Falls drop off and Pick up .

    I had a terrible experience with Opportunity Barks. The City School program keeps the dogs crated…read morefor 6 of the 7 hours they are there. The 1 hour of training includes potty breaks. When I picked up my 8 month old puppy she was so desperate to pee and poo, she went on the sidewalk in front of their building. She was so thirsty she was panting and needed water immediately. I sent food but she did not eat there. To compound the problem, Communication is awful. They don't let you into the space. You stand on the sidewalk - they crack open the door and pull her in or give you the leash to take her out. You get 1 email a week with some photos and videos. They don't appear to read the form you fill out and don't discuss goals. I told them that my puppy has had training since birth, but their first video was showing me how to hold a leash. The second video was of a different dog being trained - they said my dog was tethered watching. Throughout the entire video I could hear her crying. No one attempted to soothe her at all. I provided constructive input verbally and in writing by email. Despite my bad experience at the City School, I was still interested in the Farm School. I went to the open house and they were much more transparent about what a typical day looks like there. But before the evaluation day (which is separate from the City School evaluation), they called me to say that they were cancelling the evaluation because I am not a good fit for their program. They said it had nothing to do with my dog, who is a very sweet Labrador, it is because I am not "aligned" with them. They were not willing to even listen to why I thought the Farm School would be a better fit than the City School, saying that the decision had been made "by senior management" and it is not worth wasting time talking about it. Wow!
