I have a 12 week old Border Collie, can I ask how much does it cost for a 2 weeks puppy training?

I took my four month old German Shepherd puppy for assistance with jumping and leash pulling. We also discovered that she had pretty bad separation anxiety when not with someone all the time. Hayley, Ali, Emily and Mark all helped get her back on track. They answered all my questions and still support me if needed. Today Focus went to Home Depot and acted like a nice well behaved little lady! Highly recommend using ACD!!!

We are super happy with our training experience! Mark and his entire team (Emily, Hayley and Ali to name a few) are so professional and were amazing with our puppy Yogi. They updated us daily with great pictures and videos which was so helpful. We would highly recommend them if you want results and great care taken with your fur baby!

Just brought my little horse (100 lbs + Saint Bernard) home after 5 weeks of training at ACD! What an incredible experience, the place, the amazing team, the steady communication throughout the whole process was excellent. Will definitely miss them all and I will definitely bring my other two fur babies for training sounds good. Thanks again for all the help with my special Molly! 100% recommend!

Our lives were chaos until we got the training for Gracie! Everything is calm and peaceful and we are able to enjoy her in our lives as much as we had hoped for. I would have only changed one thing….i would have taken her straight away when we got her❤️

Our VERY stubborn golden retriever came for training and after a few weeks she left a completely different dog. We were desperate to get her help because we could not handle the behaviors anymore and now we are living in a peaceful home with a well behaved dog. We are so thankful for their program and highly recommend Hayley!!!
