Art of the Dog did a great job working with our dog, Squid. He walks better on the leash and overall listens better. We appreciate all that they did for him and us. One of the best things about the program was the daily update and pictures.

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat 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.

Our black lab Benny was treated so well by the AoD staff. Their constant updates, communication, and education on how to transition Benny home was stellar. We would recommend anyone who has a struggling dog to AoD!

Art of the Dog did an amazing job with our dog, Teddy. Previous to Art of the Dog, he pulled on his leash non-stop when walking, was easily distracted, and begged during every meal. After three weeks working with Isaiah, he is a new dog. He does not pull on walks anymore, other dogs and distractions are no longer an issue, and he lays on his bed during family meals. I highly recommend Isaiah with Art of the Dog!
I was looking for some help with my Dog, a Shiba Inu , to correct some behavior and so far so good. Ian is a wonderful person with a great temperament , and will be very good to help me with our boy Bolty with his Shiba tantrums. Thanks for a wonderful introduction and guidelines

It has been a great experience working with Art of the Dog Academy for the past month! Our dog Goose is almost 8, but still learned so much at the academy, and his behavior, specifically on walks, has significantly improved. He remains the same silly energetic dog though, which was one of my biggest concerns with a board and train program— I did not want to get a sullen, subdued dog back. The updates we received 5 out of 7 days during his 3 weeks there were very detailed and reassured us the trainers were taking the best care of Goose! We got pictures and videos of Goose, as well as training videos that were relevant to his point in training. Graduation day was comprehensive, and the trainers made sure we had a good foundational grasp of Goose’s training and correction pattern, as well as answering any questions we had. Since returning home, they have been making sure we still feel confident in his training and are always available for questions that might arise. Highly recommend AOD for a board and train program!
