My dog recently graduated from the program, and recently, we had a test in this. So a dog escaped out of a moving car and attacked my 11 month old 80 lbs puppy. Now, this dog was a good 100 lbs I managed to separate and subdue the other dog, but in the process, my dog got loose. But he sat and listened perfectly while I and the other owner got the other dog under control. So I say thank you, it could of been much worse.

This is a wonderful training experience for yourself and your dog. My dog has learned so much more, as I have never been a handler before and learned so much as my dog's partner. I highly recommend this school.

Look no further if you need intelligent and consistent dog training. I have been going to A+ Dog Training since 2010; for 13 years! The facility is by far the best, and I’ve tried other dog training facilities and trainers to put A+ Dog Training to the test; and hands down, A+ Dog Training beats them all. My dogs were (for the one who have sadly passed on) and are the most well-adjusted and well-behaved dogs due to the owner, Lindy Sander, and her trainers using tried and true training practices. My dog is constantly welcomed to friends’ and families’ homes, as well as breweries and outdoor food establishments due to my current dog’s calm loving nature, friendliness, confidence, and his ease adhering to rules. This would not have been possible without professional training by Lindy Sander and her trainers at A+ Dog Training. Before I knew of A+ Dog Training (before 2010), I had three dogs that were nervous, or barked constantly, or were fearful of someone or something. As a result, those dogs in the past couldn’t be trusted to be brought along to lots of places. Looking back, it was such a shame that I, or others, couldn’t enjoy their company. And if you think about it, our beloved dogs don’t live that long, and to not be able to enjoy their company in the company of friends and family is truly sad. No longer the case since 2010! My dogs are the best companions I have ever had and have, and I must give credit where credit is due!
