Wonderful experience from start to finish! From day one Samantha was open and honest about what could be accomplished and the time frame. Any questions were answered in detail throughout the entire process. Destiny and Shaylee worked amazingly with Caster. They all developed a bond that showed he was more than just a “client”, they truly cared for him.
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Angelique was AMAZING with my 5 yr. old baby, Sage. I dropped him off @ their Sanford location last October for a 2- week program. I preferred the drop off option so that I could view the facility where he would be, which gave me peace of mind. All the skills & training that were reinforced with Sage are still intact, thanks to Angelique doing some in-home/outside tutorials with me post-training. She gave me an info sheet that educated me on dog mannerisms & tips on how to better understand his behavior. I’m much more confident in handling Sage & grateful for their patience & knowledge. Happy to know they are always 1 call away if I need them in the future. Highly recommend!

My Jack Russell Terrier was an aggressive dog that only got worse over the years. He was super territorial, only listened to commands half the time, was TERRIBLE with leash pulling, and began biting my husband and child. I called Next-Door looking for recommendations on next steps and got paired with an at-home trainer, Erin. She worked with my dog for 4 weeks and came back with amazing results! Not only did his aggression and territorial instincts go way down but I also learned more about my dog and the ‘why’ behind his behaviors. Erin was very communicative and informative. Even after I got my dog back, she still stays in communication to ensure that his behaviors continue in a positive way and has been very forthcoming with additional advice and guidance on how to maintain his training.
UPDATE: His behavior did not last. He was fantastic for about a month and then slowly started reverting back to aggression. The trainer, Erin, offered to come and help again but when I agreed to taking the additional help, she simply stopped responding. Now I have about the same behaving dog I did before training and a trainer that provided false promises.

Ms Samantha, Ms Shaylee and Ms Destiny are amazing! I took my super goofy 5 month old Great Dane, Anubis, for basic puppy and on leash training. Before, I was black and blue from nipping and while an experienced Dane momma, I was wondering what I got us both into. When I picked him up, his anxiety level was visibly diminished (almost non existent), he was all wags and smiles but more importantly, he knew his basic commands and I was taught, not just given a url or hand out, but taught my role in his training. It’s not about being the “alpha”, at 5 months he weighed just 38 pounds less than me, but about adjusting my presence and using the techniques Ms Samantha walked me through. From the minute we walked out the front door, Anubis was a new baby! Ms Samantha stayed in touch with check ins and reminders of the additional classes and experiences my package included. I had access to Ms Samantha to ask questions as well. I just picked him up today from a one week brush up session because he had reverted to being a “weaver” when I walked him. Turns out, I had the entire wrong collar on him and the minute the ladies switched out my Amazon find to a tried and true actual trainer known collar, again, different baby. They even take him on field trips to learn social manners and how to navigate stores, parks, etc!
Anubis was treated like a king while there. I got app based video diary updates and could text or call at any time. These ladies are rock stars. I am DEEPLY invested in my critters so I researched this place to death. I traveled 1.5 hrs one way (Oxford to Sanford) and guess what? I’m already looking forward to his next e-collar and off leash training.
Make no mistake, you don’t drop off a zoomie hound and pick up a Caesar Milan TV dog, you have to keep up with the training and reinforce it but dang, this company is heads, shoulders and paws above even my best expectations. Your fur baby deserves this kind of care. These ladies are the best of the best and if it weren’t for the fact that I’ll likely be bugging them with questions, I’d say to the owner- give these rockstars a raise and a paid vacation!!
Thank you!!
