I'm sad to read some of the negative reviews, because I have had such a pleasant experience with aawl.
I adopted my dog Morrison 9 months ago. I was told that when the shelter took him in, he wouldn't even let staff put a collar on him. One of the employees kept him in her private office for his first 2 weeks until he was ready to go into the kennel with the other dogs. When I came and adopted him, that same employee started crying because she had bonded with my dog. My dog is still initially uncertain with new experiences, but he is the happiest dog and I really think he would have turned into a much different animal without aawl's nurturing.
Secondly, we returned to aawl for basic obedience school. The training was fantastic. I have since taken Morrison to another obedience class, taught at Petsmart, but aawl's was way better. I am going to go back for intermediate training. I also like giving my money to a nonprofit rather than a corporate pet store.
