This will forever be my go-to boarding and training facility. My good boy Shadow was gifted to me in April in memory of my late father. He is two years old, which makes him an older dog, and he also carries trauma from spending most of his days in a kennel after my father had a stroke. My dad was a true dog lover and adored Shadow. This training experience was extremely emotional for me because I wanted to do it for my father, who was also a veteran, and that is one of the reasons I chose this facility(both Mike & Troy are veterans! Thank you for your service). Mike, Troy, the kennel techs, and the other trainers at the facility are amazing. They truly care for Shadow, which speaks volumes given the stigma often associated with Pitties. Shadow is one of the most loving Pitbulls you will ever meet. He has never growled or bitten anyone, and my goal was simply to help him develop better social skills. Shadow attended a two-week board and training program, and I am beyond pleased with the results. While continued training at home is essential, simply picking him up showed me a remarkable change in his temperament; he was calmer and less reactive. Before training, he would lunge at other dogs, particularly females, and jump excessively. These behaviors have improved significantly. As someone who isn’t very knowledgeable about dog training, I appreciated how patient Mike was with me on pick-up day. Continuing training at home is largely the owner’s responsibility, so it’s important to learn the proper techniques to maintain progress, which they will teach you on pick up day. This investment will only be worthwhile if you remain consistent with your dog. I also want to share the photos the facility provided to show how happy Shadow was during his stay. This will not be the last time Shadow visits All Dogs Unleashed. Additionally, if anything happens under their care, they go above and beyond to make it right, which I truly appreciate. Thank you, Troy, Mike and everyone at ADU. I missed Shadow so much, but knowing he attended board and training and benefited from it was worth every single dollar. I now have a happy, well-adjusted Pitbull that I can continue to work with and help reach the level my father would have wanted. Thank you again; you all are truly a blessing🫰🏾
