What 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.
Hello Judith, please give us a call for this follow up training question we would like to help. It’s best to discuss follow up training issues via phone or in-person from one of our trainers

We got our 2nd dog from the ARL. Our first we got from a specialized pet store for hypo alergenic dogs. We've had our first dog for 8 years. Our family had grown with two kids. We felt it was time for a second dog and we wanted to adopt. Marshall was skittish around males as he'd been returned to the ARL twice. Once we got Marshall home we noticed some dog aggression and that turned into a few times of people aggression. We were heart broken as a family thinking we would have to return him to the ARL a third time. We called several companies that train dogs. All Dogs Unleashed simply blew the others out of the water! They listened to us and our specific needs. We chose to board Marshall for their two week training course. They gave us updates ( I have to be honest they were a little late on those) and we saw a different dog! When Marshall was returned to us his trainer came with. He went through everything with us. He stayed well past the time they give you. He made sure we were 100% comfortable with the continued training. I'll be 100% honest, Marshall came back to us a much better behaved dog. His spirit not broken but his attitude just willing to work with us. I would 100% recommend this service to anyone that wants to have their dog behave better as long as you are willing to keep up with their training. I immediately saw a difference in Marshall. He came back to us healthy and happy. He came back to us trained and ready to continue his forever home journey. Thanks All Dogs Unleashed! I always knew Marshall was a good boy!

All Dogs Unleashed - Des Moines was the best decision I made after adopting Rosko! They made pickup, drop-off, and training comfortable and stress-free. Everyone was kind, professional, and super helpful. Now Rosko comes with me to work and around other pets with ease—and I never feel like I have to scold or board him. They truly love what they do, and it shows!

MIke does a wonderful job with dogs! We are happy we had Saffi trained early as she developed good habits early. Mike has a calm demeanor and Saffi loves it every time he comes to get her (after training we use All Dogs Unleashed for boarding also!)

Boston’s obedience and leash training after the 2 week program has been unrecognizable. Day one coming back home, he really just listens when we speak the first time. And if it’s not the first time it’s 100% the 2nd time. We really almost cried during the demo when they brought him home because it was such a huge amount of growth in such a short time. This has helped transform our lives and his, we can take him in public confidently and he has a calmness he didn’t have before which is the biggest thing for me. He’s got some growing to do learning other animals aren’t all out to get him, but everything they’ve done for him and for us is worth every dollar. He went from having all of the problems to really just one problem that we can focus on and isolate. We feel comfortable enough even to bored him there during our last vacation for a week and he ran off willingly and easily with Mike, which made us feel really great to see because he usually does not at all like being separated from us. If you’re busy people like the rest of the world and care about your animals, you can trust these folks with your pets.

Eric, Mike and the team had our wild child Boston for the 2 week board & train. His unwanted behavior at home was seriously like night and day after he came back to us. Walking him before was an actual nightmare and I looked like an insane person, now he comes to me when called and walks right next to me with a loose leash which I never thought was possible. We’ve already used the boarding service and will continue in the future!
