American Success Dog Training Cincinnati OH

My wife Christine and I have a 9 month old Australian Labradoodle named Yoda. We thought we could train Yoda for obedience and manners via an on-line training app. We were hesitant to move forward with any training with American Success Dog Training but it was well worth the time and money spent. We are so pleased with the results as we now have the dog we always wanted. We strongly recommend American Success Dog Training; you’ll get the dog you want!!

We took our Great Dane puppy here after he was attacked by the neighbors dog. He was terrified of sounds, wouldn't leave the yard without our other danes and paralyzed by fear when he saw other dogs and people. To make matters worse, he has a very stubborn demeaner paired with a side of A.D.D. We are experienced dane owners (we have two more at home and have had several over the years prior to getting Zeke). But after the incident with the neighbors dog, we were at a loss. We didn't know how to combat all of these factors at one time. Danes get so big so fast, we knew we didn't have much time to correct these behaviors before we had a giant, unmanageable boy on our hands. American Success worked with Zeke in two sessions - the on-leash training went well, but because I just had surgery I wasn't able to work with him as much as we needed to. He was "hit and miss" on following commands, but that was our fault. When we took him back for his second week of off-leash training, he gave Lindsey & Bell a run for their money. He was EXTREMELY stubborn, would go from acting psycho to listening well to completely ignoring everything they said. They continued to work with him, even though he was being so difficult. We brought him home, followed every instruction they gave us, and now Zeke is able to come to work with me every day! This may not seem like a huge accomplishment to some, but I work with seniors so having an unruly dog is ABSOLUTELY not an option for their safety. Zeke listens, doesn't jump or lean on the seniors, follows commands, enjoys play time when allowed and is quiet during meetings. We are still working on getting him to "place" for more than 10 minutes - but considering we couldn't get him to quit being psycho for 10 seconds before we take this as win!. Zeke started training when we as 4.5 months old and is now 7 months old. The difference in our pup in 2.5 months has been LIFE CHANGING! I strongly recommend the team at American Success. They gave us a gift by helping Zeke become the version of himself and for that I will always be grateful. Zeke interacts better with his brothers (two danes ages 8 & 9) and our senior cat (age 17). If you're questioning training with American Success, don't. Just do it. It's worth every penny!!!

Looking for a genuine R+ trainer with a bit more training resources than my current trainer to help with a specific dog training dilemma. ASDT’s website states that their guiding principles are “Partnership and positive reinforcement”. I’m not sure if they don’t understand their own training methods or if they have chosen to not be transparent about it on their website, but they are balanced trainers. I’ve unfortunately had two horrible and expensive experiences with trainers who misrepresented their methods similarly. It’s bad practice to trust a business that isn’t clear *in writing* about the methods in which they deliver the services they offer. Especially in a field as unregulated as dog training, and especially with your dog’s wellbeing.
