    Better than great. I have been coming at this dog daycare, and also training since it opened a few years ago. The service is commendable. The staff is exemplary. They go above and beyond.

    Doug Salvio worked wonders with our dog, Bruna, a young rescue hound mix, who is SO super high…read moreenergy. Although we love her dearly, she was wreaking havoc in our house- the kids were scared of her, she was making a mess of the house and yard, and quite honestly we had zero control over her. She wouldn't stop barking at my husband, and I was covered in bruises from her jumping on me constantly. We were fed up and desperate, so we hired a trainer who came to our house- long story short, she charged us a lot of money, and we got nowhere. She was a positive reinforcement only trainer, and it basically just made our dog obsessed with performing for treats. In the absence of treats she did not follow any commands, and she'd break the command as soon as she was rewarded. I do think strictly positive reinforcement might work for some, but not all. We opted for a new solution, and I found Dogs by Doug online, with good reviews. Upon our consultation, I got the feeling he understood exactly what Bruna needed, and he recommended a four week board and train program. It's always a risk leaving your dog with a stranger for four weeks, it requires a lot of trust. I instantly felt like I could trust him, and you can tell he really cares for his client dogs and remembers all of them. He sacrifices a lot to constantly have dogs boarding in his home at overlapping times. Well, fast-forward four weeks, and Bruna is home. We instantly noticed a difference in her overall behavior. He told us he was going to teach her to relax, and that is literally what he did. She has been responsive to all of her commands, and at times when she breaks a command or does an undesired behavior, we now have the tools to deal with it. Walking her on a leash has become a great experience. She walks at our side at our pace, no longer dragging us down the sidewalk. I am beyond impressed with Doug's ability. You can tell he's a master of his craft, with lots of experience. He did his job with Bruna, and now it is our responsibility to keep up with the training. We are going to try our very best, and follow up later this summer! We HIGHLY recommend Doug. Our household is entirely different, at peace again and we got to keep our good girl (and our sanity).

    I am writing to recommend Doug, who recently trained our 10-month-old pitbull mix, Lucas. Before…read moretraining, Lucas was difficult to control and didn't follow commands, mainly because of his size relative to our three smaller dogs. After a month of training with Doug, Lucas is now trained on all commands and the e-collar. Since Lucas has been back home, he listens very well and has a much better relationship with our other dogs! Most importantly, it was clear that he loved Doug. Doug was an excellent trainer for Lucas and our family. He is extremely patient with both dogs and humans and is incredibly knowledgeable about all things dogs! He loves what he does, and it shows. I am so grateful to have met Doug and highly recommend him for any behavior or training issues your dog may have.

    We absolutely love Mike he puts the dogs first and focuses on praise based training. Explains the…read moreprocess and takes a family approach working with the dog to achieve the results. My daughter faithfully works with her pup. She is 11 has social anxiety; we wanted her to have training with her dog so she could be in control this has help her as much as her dog. We are so appreciative of everything she has learned and will continue to learn. We also love the quality leather leashes and collars my old leash hurt my hand with these we are able to have a quality grip and last like any collar you need to put have it on the proper size my child buys a ton of fancy ones but when it comes to going out we alway use our leather so we know we have the best grip and our collar won't slip off or break!

The collar was poorly fitted on my dog so that he was able to slip his collar and get away on a pack walk. It also stained my clothing and my white dog badly when we went out in the rain despite using the mink oil on it as requested. As soon as I got to class my dogs would be taken away from me and Mike would mainly handle them. The result being that my dogs listen to Mike in the studio but do not listen at home even though I'm working with them daily. After completing 12 sessions we continued to go to playgroups. I mentioned to him that my dog became aggressive with a friend and he brushed it off telling me that I should pick my friends better and trust my dog. Not sure this is the best advice considering no matter who it is I can't have my dog biting people. After I spent my $600 on classes, and bought into every up-sale I was told that I was no longer welcome in group Because another group member saw me at a dog park with her dog. We were the only ones there, I didn't let them drink out of the water or eat any other dogs poop. The day before Christmas I woke up to an extremely aggressive message (8 am- before business hours even) telling me I was no longer welcome in the group. To be quite honest I wasn't ever actually told that I couldn't bring my dog to the dog park but I need to let them go to the bathroom in between appointments we had that day it's not some thing that I even do often. Besides learning some hand signals that my dogs don't respond to despite continuous personal work with them, I walked away in a worse position then I started in and light over $600. I forgot to mention also that he told me my husband wasn't allowed at training.
