Dog Gone Amazing Dog Training and Boarding

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! THEY ARE MIRACLE WORKERS!! Everything about their center is incredible! I AM SO GRATEFUL! I can not believe that in just 14 days, they have taught my pup so much! I honestly did not think this level of progress was possible in such a short amount of time. Enrolling him in the 2wk board and train was one of the best investments I have made for our family! DGA certainly overdelivers from beginning to end! Their intake process, training ethics, facility management, client communication, training knowledge, education philosophy and thorough daily updates are both impressive and inspiring. I was blown away by the variety of locations the trainers explored during the 2wks, including malls, coffee shops, restaurants, parks, markets and more! Mochi was introduced to cows, skateboards, a wheelchair, statues, babies, kids, an aquarium and even a Ferris Wheel! The variety of exposure was such a bonus! And of course I must shout out the incredible team at DGA! The staff work as a team, but Mikaela was our primary trainer. She’s basically a dog-psychic with Santa Clause magic - a true miracle worker! From day one, she clearly demonstrated her depth of knowledge, range of tools, commitment to healthy long-lasting behavior change, and a loving obsession of her job! We had and unforgettable experience with her as our trainer!! BACKSTORY: Before sending my rambunctious 60lb Samoyed to DGA, my walks with him were embarrassing and out of control. He would pee on everything, pull me in all directions, jump on guests and create leash-burns on my hands from lunging at squirrels and rabbits. I had hired a private dog trainer before, but due to sudden medical issues, I was unable to keep up with the trainings. Fast forward to today, Mochi and I went for our first walk since his graduation. I felt the emotions of gratitude bubble up bc for the first time in 1.5yrs, I could let go of anxiety and finally enjoy a safe leisurely walk with my dog. It feels like a dream come true and I am so grateful!

We had private training with Sally over the course of about two months and it was nothing short of amazing. My dog had developed separation anxiety over the last couple of years after so much sudden change so quickly. I had been struggling to get him back to normal and decided to call and work with DGA. Sally was incredibly thorough and helpful during our sessions. With our first lesson she was able to pinpoint his behavioral issues, their causes, and start modifying them almost immediately. From there and over the course of the next few lessons, I was provided the tools and proper instruction to take the training even further. I now have a dog that heels during walks, he no longer tries to run up to other dogs or bark at them on those walks, he has amazing off leash recall when we go on hikes, and who can now be left at home alone again while I’m out. He’s still the same sweet and fun dog, but our relationship is even better and more healthy like it was when he was younger. I couldn’t be happier and cannot recommend DGA enough! Thanks for everything!
