Fantastic experience!!!!! We acquired a sweet Belgian Melanosis that was 8 months old. She was…read moresmart, energetic but generally hard to control on leash and would be apprehensive on walks when confronted by cars, other dogs, people, and other animals. At the end of a walk, I felt drained and have sore shoulders, it was not much fun. Since we RV and travel a lot, we wanted to be able to take the dog along without worry. We did a lot of research online and choose Daisy's Canine Academy. We opted for the two-week emersion program. We provided a list of commands and traits we were hoping for: 1) RVing, come, stay, fetch, heel, drop, sit, get, etc., 2) Socialized around people, other dogs, cars etc. and be calm and under control, 3) Go to Kennel, Basket on command. This was a lot to expect for just a two-week program. Daisy her trainer delivered in spades. The dog came back transformed; she did not do everything 100 percent, but honestly the most important thing was she trained the trainer, yes me I was able to continue working with the dog to fine tune her training, which is still a work in progress but fun for me as well as the dog. She does most what we outlined above and even more, can't wait for our first RV trip in the New Year. Daisy stays in touch and has had frequent follow-up visits. I would highly recommend Daisy's Canine Academy!!!

We have one dog, Carlos (3), and another Lolla (1), they both were in need of training. Carlos…read morealways pulled when on-leash and jumped all over people. Especially kids. Lolla knew nothing. She would barely come or sit. After realizing our situation, we decided to do something about it. Sit Means Sit came highly recommended via a FB group for Frenchies. We tried their FREE evaluation and boy, was it worth our time. Chris had our dogs walking without pulling in 10 minutes. After signing up for 3 day sessions, both our dogs listen well to about 6-7 commands. Attached is a photo of them staying in "place" for about 30 minutes without leaving. If you're looking to really take back command of your pups, give Sit Means Sit a try via the free evaluation. The clean facility and friendly staff went above and beyond to make our and the dogs experience pleasant. From the field trips to the text messages, we felt like family from the beginning. Smiles all around.

Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Sit Means Sit. I have a 6-year-old American Bulldog mix,…read moreThor, and we live in the Old Fourth Ward area near the Beltline, which is heavily populated with dogs. After being attacked at a dog park, Thor became extremely reactive toward other dogs. It got to the point where simple walks became stressful, and I could no longer take him to public places because of how intense his reactions were. I tried working with another training company and even attempted training on my own, but after losing his sister, his behavior worsened. I didn't want to give up on him, so after researching options, I decided to move forward with Sit Means Sit. After our consultation, I felt hopeful and enrolled him in their board and train program in November 2025 with clear expectations: improved leash behavior, reduced reactivity, and the ability to safely take him out in public. During his stay, I communicated that he has anxiety during storms and provided Trazodone from his vet to be used only as needed. I received daily updates and was told he was doing well. However, I was later informed he was still highly anxious and had been taken to a vet and given additional Trazodone. While I understood the situation, I was concerned about how frequently it was being used, as it was not intended for regular daily use. When I picked Thor up, I immediately noticed he was still pulling hard on the leash, even just walking to the car. Within a week of being home, his behavior regressed significantly. Walks became difficult again, and attempts to bring him to public places like coffee shops were unsuccessful. We did attend one group class in December 2025 at Truist Park, and that experience was very discouraging. Thor was extremely reactive, to the point where I felt like I needed to leave the session early. It was upsetting to see that he had just completed training yet was behaving as if he had never been trained, especially while other dogs in the group were responding well. The board and train package was also presented as including unlimited follow-up sessions, including in-home visits to address ongoing or situational behavior issues. That was a major reason I chose this program, as I expected continued support and the ability to work through real-life challenges in our home environment. Because of that, I did not leave a negative review immediately after the program ended. Instead, I reached out multiple times requesting in-home sessions so the trainer could address the issues that were clearly still present. In a five-month period, we only had two in-home sessions. Despite this, I remained consistent in working with Thor--taking him on regular one-hour walks and continuing to train with him on my own because I truly do not want to give up on him. Five months later, I am still dealing with the same issues. Thor is difficult to walk, remains reactive toward other dogs, and cannot comfortably be taken to public places. This has been extremely disappointing given the investment and expectations set at the start. To be fair, the team did organize group classes and invited us to attend. However, due to the distance from our home and conflicts with my work schedule, I wasn't always able to make them. When I asked for alternative support, I often found availability to be very limited. Most recently, I was told the trainer is fully booked for at least 60 days. Throughout this process, I felt like I had to chase support rather than receive it. I was not asking for additional help without reason, but rather trying to use the follow-up support that was included as part of the program. I was willing to invest in training because I truly want a better quality of life for my dog, which is why this has been so disappointing. Overall, I cannot recommend this program based on the lack of progress and limited accessibility for continued support.

We couldn't be more pleased with the results. Highly recommend Dog Wizard and Sam!

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.

Not only did we work in our home but also took trips to parks and Lowe's to work on behavior. We recently joined in our first pack walk, which is included upon graduation. We were so proud of our "Brock". Several months ago we wouldn't have been able to do this. We still train everyday to keep up his lessons.
