Einstein Dog Training

I highly recommend Einstein Dog Training. We adopted a rescue German Shepherd in August 2020. Mia was approximately one year old when we got her. She lacked confidence and pulled a lot when walking. She loves other dogs, but was sometimes too excited. I researched training programs. My daughter-in-law's twin was using Einstein so I contacted them. It has been worth every penny. Mia's main trainer, Serenity, has been the perfect match for Mia. She uses lots of positive reinforcement and has given Mia so much confidence. Whenever I have any questions she responds with suggestions and tips. We are continuing training with Serenity and Einstein beyond our initial day train. Mia loves to go and have refreshers. They also offer a variety of group classes, which gives Mia the opportunity to practice with us and multiple distractions. About a month ago at one of the group classes another dog owner, who was with me on the first pack walk I took with Mia back in October 2020, commented on how far she's come. On that pack walk in October Mia pulled the whole time. I had blisters on my hand. At the recent group class she was heeling with no pulling, she also sat and stayed while I went and greeted each of the other dogs in the group. She is happy and confident. Thank you Serenity and Einstein! P.S. She has also developed a crush on Serenity's male German Shepherd. LOL

I can't say enough good things about Einstein dog training and our trainer Megan!! 😊 My dog Poppy was confiscated from a hoarding case, and had a hard time with being fearful. My time with Einstein (about 6 months in now), has helped tremendously!! She's turning out to be a confident girl. Previously we had completed puppy classes and beginners obedience with another trainer, which was great, but I loved that Einstein offered so much different scenarios. The same place over and over wasn't helping her. I love that group classes are drop in basis, different places all the time, and you can go to as many as you want!! Most weeks theres 4-5 group classes to choose from between Oakland, Genesee, and Livingston. I've really liked that classes are outdoors, it gives her even more exposure for training with distractions in public places. Our trainer is great with communication and is so caring! I love their training methods. A great balance of positive reinforcement and correction. This has helped the communication between my dog and I so much. I look forward to continuing our training with Einstein.

We cannot recommend Einstein's more! Our Australian Cattle Dog/Border Collie pup started to develop some anxiety and aggression towards people and was so difficult to control in situations that he felt overwhelming. After trying multiple other dog trainers with no improvement, we found Einstein's at the recommendation from a friend. We signed up for day-training with group classes and Clark is a totally different pup! Our trainer Serenity was supportive and very knowledgeable about how to handle our crazy pup. He's still full of personality but we can now say that he is under control (which I didn't think could ever happen)! The group classes have also provided us an awesome opportunity to spend more "working" time with Clark which has improved our relationship with him. There are still things to work on, but we've come so far from where we started. It's been so cool to see how smart our pup is and his true potential, and we owe all of that to Serenity and Einstein's!

I am SHOCKED by all the positive reviews. Shocked. I signed up for Einstein via a recommendation from a friend. My show dog puppy bought at the start of covid was showing extreme people fear. I asked if this was something they could address and was told definitively YES, they could fix this! They offered for $2200, 5 day camps from 8am-4pm, 7 private lessons and 6 months of indoor classes that I could "attend every single day if I wanted to." Sounds great, right? Here is what I got. We started with 5 day camps which went great! After those ended, I kept reaching out asking when and how and where the 7 private lessons took place. After many attempts to connect, I finally got what I think was the owner - not the trainer I was working with. I was told when I picked up my dog and had a discussion for about 15 minutes as to how the day went - THIS was a "private lesson" and that I only had TWO private lessons left. I did have those 2 lessons and they were great. But what about the other 5? That was not a lesson....those were at most 3 conversations and quick demos. I also asked about group classes and quickly discovered there was ONE class per week that was after work hours (I have a day job) and there was no training facility. So here in winter with my short hair dog, I would have to attend group classes outside. Their website clearly stated they had an indoor facility. When I questioned the transparency and deceptiveness of this, I was told she was "sorry my dog wasn't making the progress I had hoped for." NOT THE ISSUE. What did I get for $2200? Not much. Sadly, the trainer was fine.....seemed to know her stuff. I just do not understand the shady contract and deceptiveness. If you are looking for a good trainer and have cash just laying around you need to get rid of, then by all means, this is the place for you. I don't know if my experience is normal? But I received very little training and a dog that is still extremely afraid of people. Super bummed.

We are so happy with the results of our dog after training with Megan! He was a rescue pup who had anxiety and fear of the world around him. He also has been attacked by multiple dogs in his life adding to his fear. After being with Megan through the Day Train program, he is a new dog! He is so happy and confident. Megan has been wonderful to work with. You can tell that she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with and we have been so impressed with how willing she is to quickly respond to our questions. We know our dog, Mo, will miss seeing her every week! We highly recommend Einstein.
