About Whispering Oaks AKC DOG TRAINING

We have been in business since 2000 professionally training about 350 dogs per year in American Kennel Club Certified Programs. We use Praise Motivated Training Techniques and provide 3-4 hour Train the Trainer turn over to transfer to you what we taught your family pet. The training of the family to handle their newly trained dog is what separates us from other trainers. We guarantee our training result or you do not pay for the training. In the 26+ years we have been training family dogs, I have never met a company that stands behind their work like we do. Our home on 11 acres is the perfect training environment. Please give us a call at 404-444-9329 and schedule a tour of our home, meet the trainers and audit a Train the Trainer Turnover

Good afternoon, this is Matthew. I would just checking in on Ace. How is he doing performance wise, eating, and getting along with other animals? Thanks, Matthew

MATTHEW, Ace is doing very well in his training. He has also settled in nicely and is currently working on all the AKC Basic Obedience Concepts. He is working doing three 45 minute training sessions per day as well as three 1.5 hour play sessions. We have had a chance to talk and text a couple of times. How did you like the video and text message we sent to you on Monday. Thanks, Mike Sinteff with Whispering Oaks Professional Dog Training and Pet Stop of North Georgia, Inc.

Question on Google
Are they qualified to train a deaf dog?

Hello Natasha, thanks for your question. We are qualified to Train Dogs that do not hear or do not see. If you look us up on Face Book - search for - Whispering Oaks Kennels Professional Dog Training - you will see a dog named "Egg" who came to us for Passive Aggression issues. Egg came back to us one year later for boarding; I greeted him and put him through his paces immediately. I had Carley video tape. Egg did everything perfectly. He can see, but not hear. He learned all his Basic Obedience through Hand Motions and looking at our face and body. We have been training dogs professionally for 20 years. Mike Sinteff is an AKC Evaluation #32666

What are the prices ?

I believe training is $70 daily. Not sure about boarding. They have website with phone number. Just had my dog trained there.

5/5

I would highly recommend this training for your pup. They did do everything they said they would do. They were very communicative. I would call throughout the training and they were easy to get a hold of and always gave great updates. I did the advanced training and my dog does have 100% recall now. (Which she was not even close to having going into training) 10/10.

We took our 4 month old cocker spaniel for three weeks of onsite training. He is a very strong willed, “leader of the pack”, dominating puppy. Mike, Nash, and the team did an excellent job with his training. We would not have survived without the training.

We had an excellent experience. Dropped our mini dachshunds Frank and Phoebe off in November for the 3 week training. They were puppies and super hyper. But after the program they are awesome pets. Mike, Nash and everyone were very thorough in explaining the program to us. We are very happy!

Mike and his team of trainers are so very knowledgeable and excellent to work with. During our first meeting we met two of his trainers and Mike did a thorough job of explaining the 21 day program that we chose, the schedule that would be followed, the cost of boarding/training and what to expect at the end of 21 days. He answered every question honestly, walked us around their beautiful grounds, the boarding area, which was very clean (no unpleasant doggie odors) and very well organized, explained the training, meal times, Dug’s down time and once again answered the many questions we had. We were sent 2 progress videos during Dug’s stay, showing the commands he learned and we were pleasantly surprised at how well he was doing and how happy he seemed. Our Pug, Duggie was out of control when we dropped him off at Whispering Oaks. Twenty one days later, at 10:00 AM sharp, we felt like we were picking up a new dog! Mike scheduled a train the owner class that morning where we learned the proper verbal commands and physical cues we were to use once we got Dug home. Mike made himself available to us at any time if we ran into any issues with Dug’s behavior after the training. We certainly made the right decision when we chose Mike, his wife, Teresa, and their team at Whispering Oaks. Duggie came home a changed boy and certainly a more tolerable, well behaved pet.

We got Tinker our Blue Healer at a year old. This was the third cattle dog we have owned. We obviously like this breed. Within 6 months we regretted our decision to get a dog again.She quickly went from cute and cuddly to disobedient, biting and destructive. We made an appointment with Mike at Whispering Oaks. As we had never had to professionally have a dog trained, we thought the expenses were way over priced. We were wrong and found it worth every penny! We were educated to the meaning of Alpha dog . We didn't understand what this particular dog needed as she was so different from our previous Healers. Tinker is now the most amazing dog we have ever had. She is smart, obedient, energetic and wants nothing more than to work and please us. Mike and his staff of trainers did an amazingly good job for us. One more major bonus and first for us : Now that we are in our 70's we can't bring Tinker on every trip. We have the best kennel resource with Whispering Oaks. A quick call or email and we can drop Tinker off where we know she gets excellent care. We are very grateful for Whispering Oaks.
