How soon can you start your dog in this?
They take new dogs weekly usually. They are absolutely wonderful about getting your dog the training they need!!! I have brought all 4 of my dogs here, & they don’t usually make you “wait until the next class starts” as there are Always dogs, & Their Humans in need of help!! 👍🏼❤️

Holly and her team of trainings are very knowledgeable and helpful. They really want you and your dog to be successful and will give you in real time and honest/direct feedback and help during classes. Their structure of class is different in that you are always practicing loose leash walking throughout the class and that they add the exercises learning and practice during. They all take training really seriously and it really does work. You are preparing for the exams each week and are able to voice and address specific things with their help and instructioneach class. The prong collar and corrections were intimidating at first, but my dog really responded well to them and then needed less and less corrections as we went through classes. We ended up getting cgc and cgc-a titles after our 6 weeks of class prep!

When I walked in the door with my energetic puppy and saw 4 german Shepards and a yellow lab laying in the center of the room without flinching, I knew we had found the right experts to help us. Knowledgeable yet able to explain things so us novices could understand.

We were not sure what we were getting into with training a small breed dog but Holly was SO helpful with our puppy Six and daughter Hattie!

Last fall Koda completed the six-week puppy course and it was an amazing success, and I highly recommend it! The small class size provided a great instructor-to-client ratio, allowing for quality focus on the handler—which I believe is the key to this program's effectiveness.
This weekend Koda completed the Obedience training course. He worked his way through beginner, intermediate, and the advanced course. As we transitioned into the advanced, Koda began to experience a rebellious phase. I spoke with Holly in person and via email and as she has always been, very responsive and helpful through all phases of training. This was the most stressful and trying experience but as she explained due to his current age it was quite normal. She gave many examples and suggestions of how to train through this experience. The advice was very specific and strategic and it helped us perfectly work through this difficult period. Holly was and is always very positive and focused on the improvement of the dog and the handler to ensure everyone’s success. This weekend’s testing marked the completion of the Obedience course but the training always continues. Koda received his CGC and CGC-A certifications. Koda is now three weeks into his Therapy training and preparing for his CGC-U testing. We are eager to continue our training with Holly and All Breeds Dog Obedience Training.

My dog just passed the Canine Good Citizen Advanced test after we took a training class with Holly. I really appreciate her ability to adjust training techniques to different dog personalities. Dog training with Holly has been a great experience!
