Sergio had her to her vet in minutes and even took her to the emergency vet for overnight observation. Meds are on board and we are working on what is triggering the seizure. Sergio's quick action in getting her treated asap gave me peace of mind.

You can find aquariums very reasonable when they run specials on them, too! (Bought a 45 gallon with stand for $150). The only complaint I have with this store is that there are NEVER enough registers open. You will be in line longer than it takes you to shop.

Our dog Moose did the 14 day Board & Train with Sam and we are so happy with the results. We wanted…read morethe focus of her training to be on e-collar obedience and Sam did an excellent job helping her and us learn. We can now take Moose off leash comfortably knowing she will come when called, sit and stay even in busy environments. I feel like we are happier humans and she is a happier dog thanks to Sam's help. The training style used was also based on rewarding Moose with play rather than food or negative reinforcement, which I really appreciate and didn't know much about before. We couldn't be more pleased with the results. Highly recommend Dog Wizard and Sam!

Probably my highest review ever for a service I haven't used yet. hear me out…read more I just rescued a Rat Terrier puppy called Raffi from Texas, who showed signs of abuse and trauma upon arrival. I've parented/known many rescues in the past and never seen anything like the fear she exhibited. fully freaked out, I shot a message to Atlanta Dog Wizard with an SOS to help. Kat quickly got in touch and we had about a 30-min call, which provided me with INVALUABLE insight into my urgent situation. That information she gave me--keep in mind, I had paid no money for her advice or training to this point--gave me some practices I could use, right away, to make Raffi feel more comfortable. I still might officially use Atlanta Dog Wizard in the future, if Kat is any indication how the company does things. She has a passion for rescues and turning around challenging situations and making dogs (and humans) shine. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Before, she was unable to be near other dogs, couldn't let her off leash unless we were completely alone, and constantly worried about her in public. He taught us how to correctly read her and understand her so we could then set her up for success. He used lots of desensitization, counter-conditioning, and reinforcing positive decisions to communicate to her the correct response to things that scared her. We are able to reinforce her trust in us now, and now have gained priceless knowledge for both ourselves and her. She has been able to greatly reduce any anxiety and stress she has and we now have a much stronger bond and can see a visible difference in her. We are thrilled with the work Clint did with her and how he gave her and us the training to allow her to live in a much happier, stress-free, and confident place.

I met Les Tippen when he was teaching at Birmingham Obedience Training Club, and I was so impressed…read moreby his dedication towards positive and practical training. As a result, I was thrilled when Les opened Good Dog Training and Kennels - it soon became my "go to" place to board my dog Athena, even though I had to drive forty minutes out of my way to drop her off and pick her up. I can't even begin to tell you how grateful I was to Les for always taking such good care of her. She was so happy to be there, that as much as I missed her when away, I almost felt guilty about picking her up and depriving her of her new playmates. Now that Athena's passed, I've moved to Texas, and I'm considering another puppy, I'm terribly saddened at the thought of having a dog that won't know Les and his property.

Dale Buchanan is a top notch dog trainer! He comes to your house for one-on-one training with your…read moredog. Dale is reliable, on time, and communicates well. He worked with our 3-year-old French bulldog and taught me so many invaluable skills to bring out Louis Mac's potential. I learned the importance of mental stimulation and problem-solving to keep our dog out of mischief. Dale helped me to find what Louis enjoys doing, which "rewards" motivate Louis, and all along the way, Dale was there to demonstrate and to provide valuable feedback. I highly recommend Top Gun Dog Training with Dale Buchanan.

I can't say enough good things about Dale at Top Gun! He's been amazing with our mini Goldendoodle,…read moreLala. When we first started, she was super sweet but a little unsure of herself in new situations. Thanks to Dale's guidance and calm approach, she's gained so much confidence and it really shows in how she carries herself now. Dale really took the time to get to know Lala and tailor the training to what she needed. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with. Lala was always excited to see him, and we've learned so much as owners, too. If you're looking for a trainer who's patient, knowledgeable, and truly loves what he does, I highly recommend Dale and Top Gun. We're so happy with the progress Lala's made!
