Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
Winnie was trained by your experts several years ago. She still is very obedient. However, I am unable to stop her digging up my yard. Does she have to wear her collar all the time and use it ? Or do you have another idea.
Hello Judith, please give us a call for this follow up training question we would like to help. It’s best to discuss follow up training issues via phone or in-person from one of our trainers

I LOVE THIS PLACE!! I love everything about this place. It started with a phone call, then listening to my complaints about our dog (mini bernedoodle, just over a year and a half) and then giving us the best options that would work for our dog to get him trained up! The training options were a couple 2 hour sessions for a few weeks or sending our dog off for two weeks to get constant and consistent training. I didn’t hesitate one bit, we chose the two week option! Yes it was pricey, but it is worth every penny to me! The people here are the kindest, most understanding, and sweetest animal loving people I’ve ever met. They came to our home, explained everything that was going to go on with our dog, and the trainer and our dog were off. Yes! They picked up our dog from our house and dropped him off when the training was completed!!! When training was completed, the trainer came to our home, explained/demonstrated the training from the last two weeks, showed us a live demo with our dog, and then trained us on our dogs training. We got to keep the training collar, the bed, and got to have a new sense of peace and tranquility with our dog now being so well behaved. There is definitely more training that is needed to be done, but that is simply just because our dog has been used to someone else for the last two weeks. Again, this was the best experience and WORTH the money!! I’m so grateful for this team, and especially the love and patience they gave to our dog! I will be recommending to whomever I can and I can’t wait to take our dog there again! P.S. they do refresher training after your dog graduates when you board your dog there, so great perk! THANK YOU ALL DOGS UNLEASHED! ERIC AND MIKE, please don’t ever leave this place if you don’t have to :) WE APPRECIATE YOU ALL!

I can’t say enough good things about Mike, Eric and the team at all dogs unleashed! Not only was Mike helpful in guiding us as first time dog owners even before boarding our dog but the training we did was fantastic as well as the subsequent boarding! Our dog is very well trained and behaved. I’ll admit she was not a problem dog to begin with but her behavior after the training is incredible! So much better than what we could have done on our own. I highly recommend all dogs unleashed to anyone thinking about professional training!! They do really, seriously good work! Love them!!!

After getting a puppy, I knew I wanted some sort of formal training for him. After doing a lot of research across many different facilities in Iowa and surrounding states, I decided to give Mike a call at All Dogs Unleashed. I could not be happier that I did! Mike was so helpful in going over my main concerns and assuring me that they could and would be corrected. I sent Chester to the one week board and train program, and I am so happy with his progress. He no longer barks at me for no reason, no more chewing/biting, and I can finally take him on walks so effortlessly as he stays right next to me (among countless other things that have been fixed)! Eric was also awesome when returning Chester. He took his time going through everything and answering all my questions. Even as I’ve had questions come up after the training, he is more than willing to help out. The entire crew was awesome to Chester and I know he was nothing short of loved during his stay!!! Highly recommend! Thank you Mike & Eric!
We had the best experience taking our dog here. She is like a whole new dog!! She listens to all commands even when the kiddos give them.
