What people have asked about this business.
Do the trainers at your facility use e-collars on the dogs?
Yes they use e-collars. It comes at week 5 of the 10 week off leash program. They take the time to thoroughly explain and show you what is going on with the collars. It is not in any way inhumane!! This was by far the best investment that we made in our dog....so much so that when we got our second puppy, I am currently going through the 10 week off leash program with him as well!!! To me, there is no higher praise that I can give someone other than repeat business!

Yes they use e-collars. It depends on the season that the dog is currently in as to if they are in the e-collar stage. We just completed our 10 week session and we could not be happier.

When I was there I did not see any of the dogs with e-callers
We got a German Shepherd from Larry Phan. Chili took your course on 06/ 2016. We didn't we receive much paper work. Can he be re-enrolled with your school and do you have any paperwork showing he is a pure bred?

LOVE Dogs by ANDY!! Andy and his team Trained “Trump” my Dog de Boudreaux (French mastiff) with the in kennel training for 3 weeks! That was last August I almost daily get compliments on how well behaved my baby boy is! Andy himself even drove to Hickory to brush up on some training at my dealership where I bring trump daily. I wanted to continue with some protection training, and had a serious conversation with Andy about it. He was very direct and honest to the point of telling me, “listen, I can train your dog, but it’s going to be a lot of work, to make your lazy dog do bite work”! Lol... he is VERY LAZY! I respect that Andy would not think about his own pocket but instead be honest and leave money on the table. U don’t find people these days that are like that! I would recommend anyone that has a dog to be trained at Dogs By Andy!!!

Best decision we ever made for our dog Quinn!
At 4 years old, her recall was terrible, she practically ignored us in public, and she’d become somewhat leash-reactive after a few bad incidents. We’d tried another trainer years ago with zero success, so we were hesitant to spend the money again.
Dogs by Andy completely turned things around. Quinn now listens, walks off-leash beautifully, and her reactivity is gone. We can take her everywhere and actually enjoy it again!
The whole team is fantastic—special shout-out to Taz, who was amazing. Wish we’d found them sooner. 100% recommend!

After over a year of Schutzhund training, I brought my boy Iggy Pops to Andy to complete his training. These people have done more for Iggy Pops in the last three months than my other trainer did for him in over a year! We are actually trying to fix bad habits that he picked up from his other trainer. The other person charges you to teach you to train your dog!!!, dogs by Andy’s train your dogs while you watch and learn, huge difference! And they don’t talk down to you when you make a mistake! That was a big thing at his other trainer, let’s make the owners feel as stupid as we can. That old school stuff is out the window, Ne Popo is where it’s at. Of course, it’s my own fault for not doing research before I started my project. every trainer and every prospect trainer at Andy’s are the best. Make no mistake. These people do not fool around you get what you pay for.🥰✌️

Did a 10 week training class with my stubborn Frenchie, Omar. Andy did our initial consult and Rebecca was our main instructor. At the end of 10 weeks I have a dog that is much more well behaved, less willful and easier to train. I've also learned how to properly communicate with my pet, which is even more critical as I now have knowledge I can use when it comes time to train my next dog. Cannot recommend this place enough, they are effective but more importantly you can tell they care about each animal and owner that walks through their front door.
