Our German shepherd displayed extreme fear aggression and anxiety. He was one of those dogs that we hid away from the public so we wouldn’t find ourselves in a lawsuit from an accident happening. When we dropped off Kylo for the All A-Board Training program we had no real idea what to expect we just knew we needed help. We are 2 months in and with both reinforcement training and our own up keep at the house we have a completely different dog. Confident, disciplined, and eager to learn but still the same boy we love with all the same personality.
Jose and Paul are incredibly skilled and talented with all sorts of dogs. Any breed and any size is their specialty. Not only are they great with the dogs but the fact that they insist on taking the appropriate amount of time with you as the owner is incredibly beneficial.
Thank you guys for everything!

Our dog needed to be calm and trained ASAP since we have a new baby on the way and she was tearing up the backyard and jumping on everyone all of the time. We wanted to allow her inside but she was way too wild!
We put our dog into the boot camp boarding training and she’s a completely new dog! She can now stay inside most of the day because she is so calm but also knows when the appropriate time to play is.
Thank you so much to Jose and Paul who’s hard work and immense passion for dogs has transformed our Cocoa into a member of the family. Would do it again if we get another dog hands down. Highly recommend!

Jose did a great job on my shepherd Jasmine. In addition to her basic obedience training, he worked with her as a service dog. I've only had her a short time, but her previous owner tells me of her trips to restaurants, the theater, and more. Because of her great training and breeding by Heidelberg Kennels, she is a joy. Further, because of her service training she assists me in standing, sitting, and if I fall, she is right there to help me up. All this, because of disabilities on my part, is needed. Thank you, Jose
