Do NOT recommend. Scheduled a consultation which was confirmed earlier today. The appointment was canceled by them less than an hour from our scheduled appointment time claiming a emergency (huge red flag - don't they have more than one employee?) We live almost an hour away so we were already in route. Decided to take a drive and pass by anyway to see what the place looked like. There was NO sign in what looked like an abandoned store front with broken mini blinds. Super shady!!!

Teresa Taylor has been a life saver for my last dog. He had some serious aggression issues which almost caused him to be euthanized on more than one occasion. Teresa did more with him than I ever even knew was possible. She is extremely knowledgeable and helped us every step of the way. Because of her we were able to keep our dog and gain the control we so desperately needed. When we got our new puppy I sent him to Teresa for training right away. I highly recommend All Purpose Dogs.

I have trained with Ben for the better part of a year, and my skills as a trainer have superseded any expectation that I could have possibly imagined! I do weekly lessons with my dog Morgan, a GSD, starting with basic obedience which we took all the way to the advanced level, We've done protection training, and we are currently focusing on her forced retrieve, which she is progressing very well with! Our sights are moving towards getting her titled in CD, CDX, UD, UDX, as well as the competitive obedience aspect. Morgan is not a very high drive dog, like you typically see in the competition ring, the Malinois who's teeth start chattering the second they catch a glimpse of a toy, which makes me even more impressed at how far we've come, and how hard Morgan works for me! I am incredibly proud of Morgan for how far she has come, and though I seldom give myself any credit, I must admit that my skill in handling, training, reading dogs, and the like have all come VERY VERY VERY VERY... far from my beginnings as a typical dog owner and even from where I was as a dog trainer. NONE of my achievements would have been possible if it was not for Ben! Whether you have a problem dog, or you are looking to have an obedient, well mannered house pet, or you are looking to train a specialized working dog, or you just want to improve your own skills, THIS is the right place, and the right people!!!
