Depends on your goals & where your pup is at. The consultation is key. My boy was in camp for two weeks. They're fantastic. Worth a look.

Question on Google
I have a 6 month old American Bully Dog and would like help training her, can you help?

This is not an official forum for this business, thus is just a place for other Google map users to help each other out. You can contact them either through the phone number or email listed on their website. But I used them for my 5 year old pitbull and they did a good job of training her to be a better behaved dog.

Community answer · evan kay · 2018-09-21

Yes, they would be able to train her. :)

We’ve been bringing our puppy here for daycare and doing in home training for a couple months, now, and our experience has been great so far! He’s nervous around other dogs, and I feel like they really take the time to match his playmates to his temperament when he’s at daycare. Training has been fantastic, with a really patient handler who makes sure she’s training us as well as the puppy to set him up for success (thanks Mari!). It’s also great it’s in-home so she can see him where he is spending all his time, rather than just a training facility alone. However, we have gone to the puppy alum class for group training and that was also fabulous and added a new layer to help us help our pup socialize, and they were able to tailor the class to every dog’s level, and it was really interactive and focused on social skills. Overall, I’ve been really pleased.

As a pet transport service, we highly recommend Instict Dog Behavior & Training. We recently had the pleasure of transporting Pablo, the Hound Mix there, and the team at Instinct is incredibly professional and knowledgeable! They offer a range of services that can extremely help your dogs from private coaching to group learning. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Seriously. As a neighbor and also business owner, we've been asking you to tell your staff to stop yelling outside to enter in and out of the yard. This is a residential community, not Yankee Stadium. This is a simple courtesy fix, that you are choosing not to correct. Calling the business is yielding no response. You are literally pissing off your neighbors and there is no accountability from management.

We worked with Sam on a fear my dog had developed of her crate. I’m so appreciative of the time she spent with us and the Trello board tooling system was really useful. Sam is obviously knowledgeable and felt like an extension of our family as we took care of our dog’s behavior. Thank you, Sam!

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Instinct and our trainer Oyuki for our home school program. We have a 2 year old rescue dog who was developing some reactivity and bad habits. Oyuki observed his behavior and developed plans and techniques specific to him and our goals. Oyuki did such a great job explaining everything to us so we feel confident in practicing and teaching our dog moving forward. She was also flexible with scheduling and accommodating last minute changes because our dog got sick. I am so grateful to Oyuki and Instinct!
