What people have asked about this business.
Is there any funding help for this training? I have brother and sister German Shepards that are aggressive with each other and pull on the leash, don't obey, etc.
Hi Stephanie! I’m sorry to hear your pups are showing aggression towards each other. I know how stressful that can be. We offer a variety of payment plans and financing options. We also offer discounts for two dogs, and a few others as well. If you’re interested in setting up a consultation with us, I would recommend just filling out a form on our website! We’d love to help.

Will the training stick? What if they come home and then revert back to their old ways?
One very important detail to know is that once the dogs have learned the training, commands and communication system they will not forget it! Even if you were to not follow through with any of the training, we would be able to get them back on track after a one-on-one private session (of which are unlimited and a part of our lifetime guarantee). Dogs don’t forget the training, but they do learn that breaking the rules is okay if there isn’t any accountability. This is why our lifetime guarantee is so important. If you ever need help, we are always there to make sure things get back on track immediately.

What AOD and their staff did for us and our puppy Auggie is absolutely amazing and we will always be grateful. We were afraid how we gonna feel about the whole process but AOD staff communicated with us every day, kept us in the loop and send up pictures and videos of Auggie which made us very happy. Auggie was still silly boy when he came home but he responded to commands he learned at AOD so well and made our relationship with him so much easier and enjoyable!

I enrolled my dog to improve her leash training. 3 weeks later she was returned to me with the brand-new behavior of lunging at children and other dogs in public. I haven't been able to reverse the damage and have had to consider re-homing as the only suitable option left for my dog's wellbeing. I spent $5k to have them turn my dog feral and could not have regretted it more.

We've had our pup back for 4 days now and the transformation is absolutely incredible. We were very hesitant to get started, worried about the e-collar and how it might change our goofy loving dog, but he is the exact same + more manners and listening capacity. He is able to settle himself, walks are no stress and his general demeanor is still fun and goofy but able to maintain a sense of composure as well. Highly recommend and will send any future dogs of ours through this program with no hesitation.

I cannot say enough great things about this facility. I have a severely anxious German shepherd who was badly abused before we adopted her, so she is difficult around strangers. The trainers gave her so much grace and patience. Allie has never listened to any commands and despite only being out of training for 24 hours, she is a different dog. This business also provided exceptional daily updates and videos regarding dog’s training progress, weight, etc. Special shoutout to C.J. and Sami!
