BADDogs

I joined the Puppy Club at BADDogs Inc., Family Dog Training & Behavior Center in April with my 4 month old Labrador Retriever. The results have been amazing and we have benefited greatly from the experience. BADDogs is a clean and safe environment and provides the perfect setting to socialize your puppy. Certified instructors monitor the dogs at all times. Your puppy will learn basic manners and how to properly interact with other puppies. The staff at BADDogs teaches you how to be a good owner, what to expect as your puppy grows up and most importantly how to raise a well-behaved dog. BADDogs offers Canine Life & Social Skills Dog Training for ongoing education and manners classes after your puppy graduates Puppy Club. I am looking forward to more fun learning with my puppy and highly recommend BADDogs Inc., Family Dog Training & Behavior Center.

Do not give them your time or money unless you are willing to pay about $3000 to be belittle and talked down to. We took our puppies in for behavioral issues which includes what we think to be resource guarding and for unwanted barking. We should of noticed the red flags but we were naive due to some of the good reviews on yelp. Both training session consist of them doing exercise which involve ALOT of treats, so many treats that our puppies will not eat their food for 2 days and the best part was she was on her phone/computer 90% of the time. There were some uncomfortable moments that we brushed off because we wanted to give Barbara a benefit of a doubt but then it happened again and again until she made us felt so bad that we don't want to continue the remaining 8 sessions. The worst part is that we brought it up to her attention then she dismissed how we felt about the matter then continue to say no one has complained about that before. We kindly asked for a partial refund for the remaining unattended sessions because we want to make sure that she gets the money for the sessions that we did attend, we asked for that partial refund so we can find a trainer that would be more willing to work with us and not belittle us in the process, but she refused due to "legal and liability ramifications". she asked us to clarify, and we did provide her with plenty of situation that made us felt uncomfortable, but she refused to see our point of view and gaslighted us. These were some of the points and issues we brought to her attention but I guess it wasn't valid enough to even get a partial refund.

Barbara is amazing! She gave us great training tips for our newly rescued pup and they started working immediately. Our little pup has anxiety issues and Barbara was able to give us solid techniques that were extremely effective. She also helped us understand how dogs experience stressful situations. She was accommodating with scheduling and was responsive to follow up questions. We are grateful for her knowledge. It really has made a huge difference in our pup. Thank you, thank you!

Barbara is awesome. Her kind methods for training really pay off. I don't normally write reviews, but I have had guidance from Barbara for my dear dog on and off for about 2 1/2 years. I stayed the way she taught, hubby thought it was wrong and I should be stricter with the puppy. He seemed to want to undermine her methods. Well now sweet puppy is a dog that is well on her way to becoming an amazing service dog. She has handled tough problems with the general public. One big boy pulled her tail very hard. She barked to show her displeasure while the mom was yelling at her son. Dear doggy did not show any forward aggression. She continued the day among many people who would pet her if they could reach her (in spite of having a service dog in training vest) and she was sweet and wonderful. WOW!!! Thank you Barbara for all your help.
