I still regret it a few years later. She was being buzzed for behaviors she didn't understand. It was punishment rather than training. The trainers drank the kool-aid and are inexperienced, The group classes were an absolute mess. Owners were confused and just zapped away without proper training and guidance, I pulled my dog out immediately. If you truly love your dog, and want to learn proper communication, consider positive reinforcement. The only situation I 'maybe' consider this is a pup with aggressive behavior. Otherwise, I would NEVER recommend this type of training. NEVER.

The owner does need to be diligent with taking their dog to the trainings (we kind of fell off at the end but it was okay) but as long as you stick with it, your dog will learn new skills and will be better behaved than before. We can literally walk our dog without a leash now, I never thought that would be possible. She will sit in her place when people come over and we are always getting compliments on how good she is. We can do things in the front yard and have her stay in the garage and she won't run after other dogs that walk by or other other people or children. She has learned to stay in her place for as long as we need her to be. It's funny because she was a really wild dog before and now that she's trained everybody loves her. overall the training here was worth it and we are really happy that we did it!

Earlier this year, my pup Ryder was viciously attacked by two large dogs who slipped out of loose…read moredog collars as we passed them at the park. Fortunatley he healed well after two weeks of dedicated TLC but the trauma of the experience remained with both him and me well after Ryder physically healed. I reached out to Matt for virtual dog training appointments to help us through that, and his guidance and great wisdom around dog psychology and behavior and deep empathy for Ryder and in general made such a huge impact. I learned from Matt how to help Ryder through his fear and trauma and how to recognize when he was experiencing trauma (for example, he developed a new and strong fear of rumbling engines). By applying Matt's empathetic practices, Ryder has become much less fearful, is no longer afraid of rumbling engines or playing with other dogs and he's back to his old happy, playful, super enthusiastic and friendly self!! :) Matt also greatly helped my dog Ellie through the excessive anxiety that resulted from my marital separation and helped us learn what an impact the breaking of that social bond had on her and how to address it! We now give her the extra attention she needs when doing hand offs to switch between homes. Thank you so much, Matt working with you has made a WORLD of difference in Ryder and Ellie's quality of life!! :)

The people at the facility that I interacted with or capable and knew what they were doing. My dogs were obedient to the trainers when I picked them up. However, the two 30 minute to 45 minutes training sessions were supposed to be 1hour sessions but we're cut short because other customers were arriving. We did not have enough time with the trainers to become skilled at reinforcing what our dogs had learned. We did get written instructions and email instructions. But for the price, I thought we would get more thorough training. The owner Lisa is knowledgeable and nice. Austin, her son, answers the phone he is also very nice. Leaving my dogs at their facility was stressful. I was told I would have communication and pictures or videos daily. What they didn't tell me is the pictures our poses and videos that match canned statements, not real communication about my dog and only once daily. I was given the direct phone number of the owner but couldn't reach her until three or four calls were made. I felt upset that I couldn't determine my dogs well-being from the poses and the canned comments that were generic to every dog. It was upsetting waiting for a callback. I couldn't visit my dogs while they were boarded for training and one of the pictures they looked very stressed. So I was upset by the time. I finally got a callback. The owner Lisa was helpful when she called back. I did get more personal interaction from the trainers. After speaking with Lisa. When I had a scheduling issue, she was also accommodating. My issue is when we got our dogs home we were not trained to reinforce what they had learned. We are not trained to get the results we saw when we picked up the dogs from boarding training. Then there are the group classes. They last for six months. I had terrible health problems for two months and could not attend and they will only allow me one month credit even though I offered MD proof that I was sick. So two months later, our two, very reactive Frenchies in tow, we were late to class and exhausted due to late night, long flight delays. I called talked to Austin told him we would be 36 minutes late.. He said no problem come on in, we will take care of you when you arrive. After a 45 minute drive , we arrived and employee Jerry was very rude. Turned us away and said "I don't know what to tell you, class is over why are you here"? I explained what Austin had said, Jerry said again. "I don't know what to tell you class is over" and shrugged. I called Austin back, he said "I don't know what to say, sorry come back next week". Even though we arrived at the exact time, I told Austin we would arrive. I expect better customer service for $6,000. The sales pitch I was given, led me to believe they would be very present knowledgeable, and helpful. that has not consistently been our experience. We attended class today and were pleasantly surprised. Lisa was teaching and it was a good class. We went over the basics of what they had taught our dogs and how to do it at a very basic level. I feel like I should've had today's training and several other training sessions during the time my dogs were being boarded and trained. There would've been more value in boarding them if I was better equipped to deal with them when they got home.

She has problems with reactivity on a leash, poor recall, and general stubborn behavior. We are still working through these things, but in six weeks with Sit Means Sit the difference is huge. She will not bark at other dogs now. If she does, it is once and she stops when I ask her to. She does not pull on the leash like she used to. I can actually get her attention when I need her to do something now. We trained at day camp with Ashley and she was incredibly helpful and knowledgable. She was so supportive and even stayed late with us to work through some problems together pretty much every lesson. My husband is reluctant to enforce rules or make our pup do things she doesn't want to do, and Ashley helped him with a few pep talks to understand why training is so important, even if it can be frustrating and uncomfortable. We are still learning and still have group classes to take, but so far I've been impressed and grateful.

We did get one update after a week but it was simply a few pics below, a 3 second video of her on a leash, and a generic text which referred to our dog as " they." We created an account on their portal which has different tabs including a report card, pics and video updates, etc. Ours was never updated; no pics, no report card, no nothing. The most disappointing was what we received for the $2500. From the first discussion, then reiterated again at the meet and greet, and yet again when we dropped her off, was our main concern potty training. They asked us to fill out in writing what concerns we had when we dropped her off. We noted potty training, again, along with nipping, jumping, leash tugging, stay and a request to teach her to shake/roll over. We also expressed our concern with our puppy interacting with other dogs. 3 weeks prior she was viciously attacked by another dog and thankfully an emergency vet saved her. Since the attack was on her throat, she ended up with a hoarse raspy sound when she breathes heavily. We left our puppy and made an appt to come back in 2 weeks, at 1:00, for our owner training session with Matthew. We arrived on time and thought it was odd that Matthew left for lunch shortly after we arrived. Samantha was very nice and spent time going through what our puppy was taught; ie walking on a leash and sitting in PLACE - which was exciting. Matthew came back from lunch and stopped in to say hello. They thanked us and said we were finished. I then asked how the potty training went? They said they don't offer potty training and the owner of the company does not let them potty train. We explained the other trainer we used years ago with our other dog taught him to ring a bell when he had to go out - which worked perfectly. Matthew jokingly replied that doesn't work because the dog then rings the bell all the time just to go outside to play. Well it worked for us. As we were leaving I asked if they could show us what fun tricks our puppy now knows. He looked perplexed and said "tricks? What do you mean by tricks?" I said like shake or rollover? He then said they don't teach tricks and this is so easy to do myself. Wow.... Samantha asked if our dog had an allergy problem because her breathing was hoarse sounding. I guess no one remembered me telling them about the dog attack which makes me wonder if they did in fact train her around other dogs. They told us they would do this but never mentioned this at our final meeting. They told us to continue using the shock collar for jumping, biting, barking, etc. I had expected these concerns to have been trained over the 2 weeks. In conclusion, if they don't include potty training, our main reason for paying $2500 for the training, they should have told us that at one of the 4+ times we brought it up. And if the "tricks" were so easy to teach why didn't they do this since this was on my initial concern list they asked me to provide? Proper expectations were not set, utilization of their program portal sections were not used and no follow-up so far. There is no way I can honestly give them a 5 STAR rating on Google - even though they would give me a free 2 night boarding stay if I did.

Hiring Amanda was one of the best decisions we made. The investment is worth it because her support doesn't end after one session--she's committed to helping you as your dog grows and life changes. Four years later, after moving from an apartment to a house, new behaviors popped up. Amanda came back, gave us the tools we needed, and we're already seeing improvement again. If your dog is struggling with behavioral issues, don't wait. Amanda is knowledgeable, passionate, and truly cares about helping people build better lives with their dogs.
