Question on Google
I adopted a 4 yo sm cocker spaniel mix from PAWS this past Fri. Since being home she has lunged & tried to attack two guys that have come over to visit. I believe she has been prev abused by a man. Can u help & how much would u charge

I have a 115 lb German shepherd and took him to the weekly classes and cost $89 I think. Excellent trainer and will work with you at class.

This is a google user forum, so you probably need to speak with Joe directly. I can tell you that my 110lb German Shepherd has major insecurity issues and used to make quite a scene around people or dogs he didn't know. We tried professional positive reinforcement training that didn't help at all. Joe showed us how to carefully and correctly use negative reinforcement training, and we can trust our dog isn't likely to hurt us or someone else anymore. It's a lot of work, but if you do what Joe says and stick with it, it helps. Also, he works with animal control and APL to help check out animals for adoption and identify training issues. He's an expert. His rates vary, but it's worth it. Good luck!!

My dog got kennel cough from here just last week. The owner nor their mother responded via phone or text. Communication is horrible. Scheduling always takes several texts or phone calls before any response is given. Even when it's on the day of drop-off or pickup I rarely know what time to go. Highly disappointed. The owner always tells me he is doing great but when he returns home there are behavior problems. I don't expect a perfect dog I expect professionalism from a such "highly rated" trainer. We're done here and will be finding a new trainer. Edit: It's been two years since my dog was there. Every day he cries when he's thirsty because he doesn't think he's allowed to drink water without being told. What kind of "training" does that to an animal?! He's scared to eat as well. We have to reassure him that it's ok. Don't be fooled by the good reviews. Something is definitely wrong here. I don't know who is at fault the staff or Joe. But it comes down to him as he hires and approves the training methods used. My dog was traumatized and I regret every day that I sent him there. I can't imagine the torment he went through to cause such issues.

I cannot say enough positive things about Joe and his teaming. Our dog has made huge improvements. She is literally a different dog after training here. I am just amazed at the progress Of my dog and the other dogs in the class. Joe is awesome - so patient, informative and fun! We highly recommend.
