My rescue baby Juno, needed a great amount of work. He was a dog who was very unsure himself and had Lil to know confidence. It was hard to get him to walk around without being terrified. After weeks of training, Juno is now walking on a leash and seemingly enjoying life with bare minimal fear. He is still working in progress, I knew that before sending him to training. Once he is completely comfortable at home, I will definitely be sending him back for obedience training. This was the best decision I could’ve made for him!

Madison was wonderful to work with. She really helped me out with my dog Kasha. When I brought Kasha to Dog Tags Training Academy, I was ready to pull my hair out. She wouldn't cooperate at all. After 4 weeks she was like a completely different dog. I highly recommend them if you need assistance with dog training.

I had the best experience with Dog Tags. I did the 4 week boot camp for my 4 month old puppy. The communication regarding her progress was excellent. They gave me one on one training when I picked her up. I also have 5 additional days of one on one training and access to a trainer anytime I have questions. Dog Tags provides the best after camp training that the others do not provide. Highly recommend Dog Tags for your training needs.
