Transformative Training Experience

After experiencing a violent mugging, I enrolled in an eight-week training course focused on obedience and personal protection with my 19-month-old Rottweiler. I now feel secure thanks to the training I've received. Prior to this, I lived in constant fear due to the attack. I can't express enough gratitude to the team for their incredible training and support. I would gladly give more than five stars!

A heartfelt thank you to the team.

To the team, I must say, you are the best trainers I’ve encountered. We were on the verge of needing to part ways with our rescue due to various challenges and several trainers, but after just the assessment, our family feels hopeful that we can make this work without resorting to any harsh methods! Our dog has shown remarkable improvement in just half an hour! I assure you, the team will provide the support you need!

Incredible progress with my dogs!

I’ve been working with a trainer and their team for the past 7 weeks, and I have two dogs that have always been reactive and quite a handful. We’ve been having weekly sessions, and the improvement has been remarkable; my children can now walk both dogs with ease. Their behavior has significantly improved, and interacting with other dogs is no longer a concern. I’m extremely grateful and excited to see how much further we can go!

An exceptional resource for personal protection dog training

This guide comes highly recommended – it’s the most thorough, ethical, and practical resource I’ve encountered for personal protection dog training. From the beginning, it addresses the harmful misconception that protection training leads to aggressive behavior. Instead, it emphasizes developing a calm, vigilant, and loyal companion capable of differentiating between genuine threats and normal situations. The structured, step-by-step method is outstanding: it begins with essential obedience and socialization (the crucial foundations), then progresses to protection-specific skills such as controlled alerting, safe apprehension, and immediate disengagement on command. Each exercise is detailed with clear, actionable steps suitable for both novice and seasoned trainers.

A fantastic guide for training personal protection dogs

I highly endorse this resource – it’s the most thorough, ethical, and practical guide I’ve encountered for personal protection dog training. Right from the start, it debunks the misconception that protection training leads to aggression in dogs. Instead, it emphasizes developing a calm, alert, and loyal companion who can differentiate between genuine threats and regular activities. The structured, step-by-step approach is excellent: beginning with essential obedience and socialization, then progressing to protection-specific skills like controlled alertness, safe apprehension, and prompt disengagement on command. Each exercise is clearly explained with actionable steps that benefit both novice and experienced trainers.

Regret not researching this service more thoroughly

While searching for a dog trainer experienced in protection training for my Doberman, I discovered a service that appeared ideal. Their website claimed extensive experience training Dobermans since 2002! After reaching out, I spoke with a man who introduced himself as the head trainer. Unfortunately, he was abrasive from the outset, sharing his personal grievances instead of focusing on my needs. In hindsight, that call should have been a red flag, but I was reassured he wouldn’t be the one assessing my dog. However, he showed up for the assessment, claiming a cancellation from another client. As soon as I handed him the lead, it was clear he lacked the necessary skills for personal protection training. His method involved provoking my dog without proper equipment or assessment. Frustrated, I asked him to leave, which led to an unprofessional outburst from him. Afterward, I researched the company and found numerous unhappy clients and cases of mistreated dogs. I’ve learned the importance of thoroughly vetting dog trainers.

Repeat offender in dog training scams

If you’re researching this service, consider looking into their previous name. The owner is clearly rebranding while employing the same questionable methods. Check social media for numerous customer reviews detailing their experiences.

Experience of dog abuse and scam

Before any training occurred, I was asked to pay a significant amount in cash, which I reluctantly did, and to leave a positive review in advance. After the training, I regretted my decision, especially after witnessing the trainer mistreat my dog. The trainer was excessively rough, disregarding my concerns, and even physically assaulted my dog during the session. Furthermore, he was late yet still charged me the full amount for only a half-hour of inadequate training.

This business is rebranded; beware!

This service has undergone multiple name changes due to the owner's notorious reputation for negative reasons in the dog training community. Investigate their previous names and you'll find concerning information regarding their training practices. Do your research; don’t fall for the marketing tactics.

Avoid this service if you value your dog

If it were possible, I would rate them zero stars. This company is run by someone infamous for taking money and mistreating dogs. Their idea of boarding includes transporting your dog across the country in a van, charging exorbitant fees. Don’t be deceived by their claims.
