    I had been wanting to learn more about firearms for quite some time, and this introduction to firearms class was excellent. Our class had 16 students (women), and three instructors: Luis, Andrew and Rosi. The instructors were experienced, comfortable and confident and provided excellent information and encouragement. The class included gun and safety education as well as hands-on practice. The instructors went out of their way to provide information and guidance. Whether you own a weapon or not, the class is excellent and will benefit anyone. Tip: if you are sensitive to loud sounds, you may want to bring along some noise-canceling equipment. The class is held at the end of a beautiful canyon with multiple groups practicing shooting, so it can be a little loud, but you will feel very safe.

    In January I took the Women's Intro to Firearms with Sheepdog Firearms Training. They offer women's firearm classes, Co-Ed and other firearms training courses. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a basic understanding of firearms, learn safety and/ or even considering owning a firearm. The class was safe, thorough and professional. Luis and his team are highly trained and knowledgeable. Not only do they show you what to do, they also are right there with you when you are doing it. I like that the classes are small enough for individual help and instruction. We fired training guns, 9MM, riffles and a shotgun. I'll definitely be signing up for another class.

    Best time ever .. You guys are so skilled and professional. We had such a great experience. We felt safe, learned a lot and had fun doing it. Can't wait to invite 2 friends. Sheepdog and all your staff are awesome.!

    The training here is awesome. Very informative and fun. Luis, and Andrew are great instructors. Can't wait to sign up for the next class

    I had fun taking this training course. I learned a lot of the fundamentals on how to handle a hand gun safely. I felt very comfortable at the end of class. Met some great woman that felt empowered at the end of the course. The instructors were great at teaching us and were open to any questions. I highly recommend anyone to take this class. Thank you Sheepdog!!

    Just attended my second women's only class with my daughter and we're both ready for more. If your a woman who's considered owning a gun but don't know where to start and/or feel too intimated by the male dominated classes this is your class! Started with the introduction to firearms last month which helped us get rid of our fear of firearms and today we took Women's personal protection class which just solidified our desire to own a gun for personal protection. Both classes taught us about gun safety and each built our confidence about the use of one. If you're hesitating DON'T. The trainers are very patient and friendly and don't bully you into learning techniques but individually show you when your technics are off. Initially my daughter didn't want to take the class for fear of shooting a gun and now she wants to own one. Mom is not going to be around to protect her so teaching her how to protect herself.

    Staff is professional, helpful and friendly. Instructors give easy to follow prompts, they guide you on what needs to be changed or errors you are doing. Most importantly safety has been top priority specially handling guns. Definitely recommend and suggest to everyone who wants to have more experience in gun handling, or gain confidence and be comfortable when it comes to firearms.

    Highly recommend Sheepdog Women's Intro and Intermediate courses. Intro course provides the basics of gun handling & gun safety. It seems so intimidating at first and yet comfortable because all the other women in class feel nervous in the same way. The instructors are super patient and kind. We practiced handgun and rifle and even got to try a shotgun. Guns and amo were included. Home invasion and defense scenarios are discussed. Intermediate women's course had us review basics and then learn new skills which all build on each other. The pace of class if good and instructors make sure you can do the skills before moving on. We got to shoot a lot more than Intro course and got to bring in our own gun for practice. This was invaluable because I practically got 1:1 instruction on handling and problem solving my new gun. If you have always wanted to learn and feel more comfortable around guns, you should check out their courses. Super fun with family or a group of girlfriends. My sister-in-law and I had the best time and can't wait to go again.

    GREAT CLASS! I found Sheepdog through a Facebook add. The booking process is easy and payment as well. I also received text message reminders, which I found very helpful! The class instructor, Luis is awesome! He's informative and if this is your first time handling a firearm, he makes you feel comfortable and guides you all the way. His two assistants were also a huge help! Definitely going to continue my firearm education through them!!

    I had an amazing experience. The class was very informative and educational. The instructor and his assistants very well catered to the different levels of knowledge on the ground. Everyone was very friendly and the class throughout had a positive and fun ambiance. I would recommend this class for anyone that wants to learn about fire arms. Take a refresher and or perhaps explore further. I'm definitely coming back

    I took the Women's Basics course after moving to LA and it changed my life! I would sign all of my…read morefriends up for this class if I could. This course teaches essential skills for verbal de-escalation, boundary setting, and physical self-defense, but what really sets it apart is how those skills are ingrained through fully-adrenalized, full-force fight scenarios. That, and the fact that the IMPACT instructors are phenomenal. I'm always impressed by their attentiveness, innovative teaching techniques, and their emphasis on students' safety during physical confrontations. Since taking the Basics course, I've successfully used verbal de-escalation tools twice in real-life situations, including during a frightening incident when a muscular man ran straight at me and blocked my path while I was walking in my neighborhood. I've also applied the skills I've learned in the workplace and most other areas of life. It may sound hyperbolic, but the class really changed how I walk through the world. If you can't commit to the full Basics course, consider taking the Intro Class. It's a great place to start. IMPACT also offers an advanced course and a "Defense Against the Armed Assailant" course for those who have completed the Basics. I took both and highly recommend!

    10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I had wanted to take a Basics class for a long time but kept putting it off…read more(so nervous) but one day I thought JUST DO IT, and I'm so glad I did! It's not like martial arts, there's not a ton of fancy tricks; it's accessible and practical skills..AND you get to fight an actual person. I didn't just learn skills to defend myself, I learned about what I was actually capable of. It changed my life! Can't recommend enough!

    I received on my Internet an invitation to go to defense…read morepractice organization for a 1 hour Presentation on how to shoot weapons, including high powered weapons and learn about self defense. I thought that sounds like a lot of fun. So I called the number and was able to secure an appointment a week later and received several emails during that week. Asking me to check off and sign a waiver and also told I could invite a friend. I decided to invite my best friend and later. We decided what day we could go and signed up. We got there a few minutes early and this place was really nice in burbank right off the five freeway near bueno vista avenue and found a parking spot and went in to the front where we were greeted by a receptionist who had us fill out the waiver again and check all the boxes and sign it, and then we were good to go. A very large man came out and said he was our trainer.And his name was robert, and he was an ex army man who had been stationed overseas and had.I've been in many real life.Dangerous situations in combat. He showed us many different training rooms, where he explained that they don't use real guns with real bullets, but they use laser guns or bullets that were round.And made of rubber. Different rooms taught different types of training. Including learning self defense techniques where people can basically learn many types of moves that they can make if somebody were to be attacking them.And they did not have a weapon or didn't want to start by using a weapon. He then took us into our own private training room and explained different laws and different techniques of how you should respond in Different scenarios and then put on videos for us to practice with. But the first thing he did was show us a target and had us use laser guns to aim and fire at a target. He taught us how to get a gun out of our holster properly.And how to aim and shoot and first in a relaxed situation.And then in a real life type scenario with a video in front of us, we were ask to respond as if it were a real life situation. All in all we both learned a lot. How to fun time? And at the very end, we were offered a membership for twelve months.Although it was a little expensive for our pocket books, it was tempting.And if I were maybe thirty years younger, I probably would have gone for it kind of like a gym membership. In any event, it was a great experience. And fun, and we learned a lot about the laws. And how you can defend yourself. And when you can shoot, and when you cannot shoot. So I do think it was worth the hour-long training just to learn that. And had a fun time, so I strongly recommend it, and I will take a picture of Roberts business card. So, if you would like to go to your 1 hour training session, you might call them up and see if you can't at least go. And check it out, like I did. And then you may decide you want to do it twice a month for a year, or longer.

    U.D.T. a.k.a. Until Dollars Terminate!…read more I saw an ad online, went to check it out in person. Took a brief intro class, was brought into a room, and then pitched a deal so sweet, so persuasive, so promising, how could I say no? (I mean all they didn't offer were the keys to the building.) So in this strange pressured situation type deal, I signed up. BUT I still had questions... Like why am I stuck in a YEAR contract? And I can't change my mind or cancel past the initial 45-day time frame? Why couldn't I check out or try out the classes before committing? I wasn't even going to be able to start TODAY, but the guy had the gift of gab, and assured me it would be okay. Then promptly charged my card THE SAME DAY! I attended one session, it was cool... but still felt a little like eh.. Then I had to take a business trip out of town. This was an issue because I wouldn't be able to get the full experience of the trial, and without that how could I decide that it was for me or not? So called and explained the situation, and asked for an extension of the trial time. Well they had to call up the White House then eventually called me back. It seemed like an act of Congress to finally get the bill passed, to give me 15 more days! But after kissing up to the president and telling him how much of a nice guy he was, I guess they got the extension. So the REP called, told me I had 15 more days and off we went. But then the business trip got extended. I tried to tell the business people that I had to get back so I could attend my U.D.T. classes, since they never stopped charging me, even though I only attended once during the trial period. But then they were like, you want UDT or U want this rent money. And obviously UDT was not going to let me stay there... I mean they weren't that nice! So hit the rep again and let him know that I had to cancel A.S.A.P. I reviewed the contract again, and based on the extension I was given by the rep, I was still within my trial period, so I quickly sent an email to the office. The rep was nice and seemed to understand. The office went silent. Before I used to get an answer every time... now, they were like "excuse me, who are you again?" So called for like 3 days with no answer. Then I get an answer and tell them the situation, and well... They could charge my card and take my money instantly without needing management approval! But although they received my cancellation email etc... they had to again meet with Congress! And I guess Congress was on vacation in Hawaii or something, but rest assured WHENEVER THEY GET BACK... WE WILL LET YOU KNOW AND REACH OUT! (And apparently they are still gone... I'm sure making good use of my $200 a month). Well I argued back and said I don't understand... I cancelled and haven't attended classes, so why no refund? The lady then told me... well your card was charged on ___ day when you signed up, and even though you haven't been here, and informed us you would have to be out of the country, it's past 45 days now! So you don't qualify for your refund! Then I said hold on there Susie hot pants! I talked to the rep, they gave an extension and I actually have another week before the deadline! Her response was... "well if they know about it then they will let us know." And you know what happened next?? ANOTHER MONTHLY CHARGE TAKEN FROM MY ACCOUNT!!! Let's recap: Didn't use the membership classes, based on the extension I was given, I was still in my trial period, sent an email notifying them of cancellation, sent several messages to the rep, and still charged! All while waiting for the mysterious owner to get back and have YET to hear back till this day!! So I had to literally take things into my own hands and work with my bank to get it resolved! I then did some digging on them and guess what, I found multiple complaints on the BBB website describing experiences similar to mine (which I am headed to next to add my complaint)! This is insane! And again no follow-up, just crickets while they charge my card monthly for services I haven't even used! RUN AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! There are other options that are much better! Based on my experience, I felt like collecting my membership payments became a much higher priority than resolving my concerns. And once you're in... it felt nearly impossible to get out! (Well you can, but not the money they want to charge you for a year.) If it had really felt like resolving my situation was the priority, then Mr. President would have called to resolve this long before I had to write this review...!! I think I have been going through this since the end of May when I signed up! Serve your country in the military, become a veteran, only to have companies like this treat you this way! And I have never been treated this way with any other company! I will be sure to spread the word with my veteran and other communities to stay away from this organization!

It's only six weeks, do it.
