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 literally saved Doug and me. After a terrible first training experience, I was worried Doug wouldn’t be able to do therapy training, or we’d need to start at square one. Holly gave us an honest assessment, told me the couple things we should sure up, and got us into therapy class right away. Her instruction is clear, her demeanor is caring and understanding, and her credentials are, well, out of this world! Doug and I are so happy we stumbled across Holly and All Breed Dog Obedience, and would recommend them to anyone looking for all level of training for your dog.

Holly has been nothing but amazing through our whole time in training! We started training at 4 months and are still in & out of training classes with Athena at almost a year. We’ve had our challenges with her being a guardian breed but with her training and help throughout, Athena is becoming very well behaved. Classes are obedience training within it all but the thing we have gotten out of them the most is the realistic aspects that are incorporated and worked through! Being able to flow from beginner into advanced classes and push her(and us) out of her comfort zone while being in a controlled environment has been super helpful for a dog that has a tendency to watch everything and everyone.
Really good instructors transformed my pups obedience highly recomend
Great place to train your dog! Obedience and rally…
