Im so glad we found All Dogs Unleashed. I was nervous that my dog wouldn't be able to be trained but I was wrong. Benny came back a new pup. He loves going there and they are great with him.

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
Winnie was trained by your experts several years ago. She still is very obedient. However, I am unable to stop her digging up my yard. Does she have to wear her collar all the time and use it ? Or do you have another idea.

I can't say enough good things about All Dogs Unleashed in Des Moines. Mike was great to work with. We told him the behaviors that we were looking to correct with our 1 year old goldendoodle (who is now over 3) and he set our family up with a great obedience training foundation. We opted to do the two week board and train program. He provided a progress report mid process so we could hear/see how our dog's training process was going. When he brought our dog home, he demonstrated the commands and spend a couple hours with us explaining how to continue this process at home. It is soo refreshing to see how much our dog listens now compared to when she left. And there is no more pulling on the leash when we go on walks! What a life saver. We have also returned two times to have our dog boarded. During this boarding time, our dog gets a refresher training. We absolute love it!! We have had such a great experience each time we have used All Dogs Unleashes. Five stars from this family!
Great service. We used them for training and boarding!

Mike and his team are amazing. The training approach is so gentle but firm. And my dog a 9-month-old doberman responded so well to the training. I was shocked. It's a true pleasure to see your wild dog all of a sudden building manners and listening to commands. Of course, I also need now to train with her everyday... But that will be a pleasure. Mike and his crew were so accommodating and supportive of last minute health issues with my puppy. I would highly recommend All Dogs Unleashed. I signed up for the two week training and boarding session. It was worth every penny. And I'll probably do another session like this in one or two years.

Our experience with All Dogs Unleashed, particularly with Mike, was nothing short of remarkable. Having two chocolate labs that were initially rowdy, disobedient, and a challenge to manage, we were in desperate need of help. Our walks were chaotic; relaxation at home was a concept we could barely remember, and the idea of our dogs understanding boundaries seemed like a distant dream. Enter Mike and the team at All Dogs Unleashed. From the outset, Mike showed a profound understanding not only of our needs but, more importantly, the needs of our dogs. His approach to training is both compassionate and effective, focusing on building a strong foundation that owners can continue to build upon after the training sessions are over. The transformation in our dogs is astounding. Gone are the days of being dragged down the street; our walks are now calm, with our labs walking by our side, not pulling on the leash and now being able to walk with them off leash and ignoring distractions. At home, they are relaxed and understand their boundaries, allowing us all to enjoy a stress-free environment. This change has not only improved our dogs' quality of life but ours as well, fostering a happier and healthier relationship between us. Mike's methodology goes beyond mere obedience training. It's about understanding the unique personalities and needs of each dog, tailoring the training to suit those needs while ensuring the owners are fully educated about the process. This personal touch and commitment to both pet and owner well-being set All Dogs Unleashed apart from other training services. We are immensely grateful to Mike for his dedication, expertise, and the positive impact he has had on our family. Thanks to him, we now have the tools and knowledge to continue our dogs' training and maintain the incredible progress they've made. Our time with Mike was enjoyable, educational, and truly transformative. For anyone struggling with their pets, All Dogs Unleashed, and especially Mike, come highly recommended. The peace and harmony we now enjoy with our labs are proof of their exceptional service.
