Every dog store we went to in Charlotte could not give us a solution we could live with. (Choke chains, shock collars, etc) I had found The dog door online with the campaign of Asheville being a dog city. We were going to stop in Asheville on our way home from a hike. When we came into the shop and shared our issue, the staff member took us in the a separate room. She gave our dog treats and created a positive experience in trying on her suggested new harness. The harness is amazing and he has yet to slip out of it. He loves his harness and has made him a more confident dog, in stressful situations. I will be back!

We have learned so much from her, and the progress I've seen with Aaron has been amazing! Aaron and I appreciate her dearly and are so grateful for her dedication, compassion, and expertise. I would recommend Mars and the amazing staff at Kabler School for Dogs without hesitation! You will not be disappointed. Thank you Mars!

Pepperoni fell into our laps after a friend started fostering her to get her out of a kill shelter in South Carolina. We were in love with our snuggly girl from the start, but she was also timid, skittish, poorly behaved on the leash, and terrified of strangers (especially men). We tried to take her to a doggie daycare for socialization, but she was so terrified, she escaped within a half hour and was not allowed back. Over the course of six months, David helped us build Pepper's confidence and bring her out of her shell. She now sits with us at dog-friendly restaurants, greets every guest at the door, and just spent her first day at doggie daycare (no escaping! No hiding!) We cannot thank David enough for all he has done and his patience in going the extra mile for a more difficult case. We're so grateful to have a happy, healthy dog!

Please do not take your dog here. The "trainers" are not educated or certified and are using…read moremethods that are at best out-dated and at worst harmful to your dog. I was going to take a puppy training class here and came to the humans-only intro session. There, a person asked what to do when their puppy mouthed them-a perfectly normal thing for a puppy to do-and the "trainer" said to grab the puppy by her cheeks, roll her on to her back and yell in her face until she stopped struggling. This was to demonstrate the owner's dominance. In my opinion, that is abuse and there's no better way to destroy your relationship with your dog.

Apparently it's okay that a dog can't even do a basic down for $2000 and while Adinna claims she will do anything she can to support me in the transition of his learned behaviors at home, she refuses to show me those "learned" behaviors. All that I have received is excuses, implications that issues are based on my inability to read a manual and it's the transition period. Adinna is unwilling to stand behind her "work" and if she couldn't show trained commands and had to constantly make corrections, how is that dog supposed to be able to do commands at home? Save your money and invest in a prong collar as you will be better served!

Adinna is very knowledgeable when it comes to behavior issues in dogs and I would highly recommend her. It has been an amazing learning experience for us and made us realize that not all dogs are perfect, and that's ok. Adinna is passionate about her work and a professional at what she does.

Good for me because Dog Training is crazy expensive I noticed ( so expensive that I m going to become a dog trainer in my next life!!!) This place is different Gail tries to make dog training affordable and fun. First I went to puppy class, every Saturday for $10 a mixed puppy class with socialization training and simple tasks for owners and dogs alike. This is a hands on place , the dog is not getting "fixed" you learn how to work with the animal and what to do in any situation. After that I went to "manners 1" a six week course where you meet once weekly and work with your animal . The classes are small the place is big with a large agility area , a playground and a piece of forest to walk in. There are all kind of fun things offered Agility Training, Treibball and ongoing Manners classes up to training for service dogs. Gail is full of knowledge gives you direct feedback if you call her and a certificate after a successfully finished "Manners" class. The approach is gentle with lots of treats, no yelling no "NO" it's about leading the dog in the right direction, about being smart with the opportunists they are and build a beautiful and trusting relationship. We are happy here and will stay and come back many more times!
