| - Thank you All-American K-9 Dog Training for the wonderful service and training!!
Toby is a 2 year old Terrier- Poodle mix, he is extremely friendly and loving but also very stubborn and did not always want to listen. He wouldn't sit on command and most definitely wouldn't stay! He also had trouble when we would go out on walks, he would take off running after birds and rabbits, and pulling on his leash. After months of frustration, my husband and I decided it was time to take him to a trainer. We did extensive research for trainers all over the Valley- private, group, chain stores and the one thing that stuck out was that All- American had the best reviews. At first, I was skeptical of the E-Collar. I did not want Toby's loving personality to change and I did not want to hurt him or for Toby to be scared of us. On the first day of training we met with Bob, he explained the collar, how he trains, and we were able to feel the different settings of the collar- and I was able to see that it did not hurt me and wouldn't hurt my dog. It was reassuring to me to know that it was more of a "nudge" and when used with training it starts at the lowest setting that the dog responds to. Each class focused on a new command and it didn't take long for Toby to learn how to "heel" and walk pleasantly next to us. Fast forward to four weeks later and Toby is still happy as can be but now he listens! When it is time to put his collar on- he knows this means going for a walk or a car ride and working on his training and he gets excited- tail wagging n all. He didn't lose his personality, but he gained control. We can now walk off leash, he follows commands- heel, sit, stay and will even stay put when we walk away from him! His anxiety levels have even gone down. I highly recommend Bob as a trainer. He teaches you how to work with your dog one-on-one, so that the training sticks. We are so happy that we found All-American K-9 Dog Training!!
