The Art of Dog

We took our year old boxer to Art of Dog and had him participate in the Board and Train service. We cannot recommend it highly enough. Our dog went from being nearly unmanageable on walks to walking at our heels, and from not listening at all to obeying commands even when there are distractions. Dave was very responsive before, during, and after working with our dog. We will definitely be using Art of Dog’s services in the future!

Our 6 month old Golden retriever pulled me and my girlfriend everywhere! Chased Every leaf like his life depended on it! Never listened and easily distracted. We were so frustrated and worried about him getting injured because of this. We tried so many forms of training with positive reinforcement but they all ended up failing. So we put our trust with David for two weeks and when he came back he was amazing! No more chasing, perfect walk, we can even walk perfectly in pace with no leash! He’s a sharp listener and extremely obedient. He still loves to do all things he did before like swimming and an insane love for fetch but now we can do all those things and then some! He is 1 years old now and 5 months after his training, he’s perfect. David built the foundation for our dream dog! When we get a new puppy we will definitely go through David again.

We bought the 8 session package for our stubborn and skittish Catahoula/Whippet rescue pup a few years ago. Within 2 sessions with Art of Dog she was already listening and learning a ton. These sessions not only trained her, but us as well. She learned to trust us and we learned how to speak and interact with her so she knew that we are in charge but also loyal to her. She is now 4 years old and every person that comes to our house or meets us on walks mentions how well behaved she is. The investment was worth every penny. We recommend Art of Dog 100%!

I just finished my 5 week course with Mallory! My dog Willow was pretty hard to control: jumping, distracted, doing what she wanted and kind of scaring me that I was not in control. I highly recommend Art of Dog - the course helped us both progress through the different stages of commands and I am very satisfied with Willow's progress. She now walks beside me, comes when I call her, is much calmer and does what she is told. The tools used have given me confidence and Willow understands what is expected of her. It's been a Win Win. Thank you Mallory and Art of Dog!
