Money and time well spent! Very pleased with the board and train for my poodle, Coko. We wrapped up training almost 6 weeks ago and she is still doing great. I appreciate you all at Dog Tags!!
Well worth the money! I picked up my Caesar today and I have seen a totally different dog. He’s calm and listens to commands. I can’t wait to get him in public and practice what we learned.

i sent my dog here for reactivity issues for the board and train behavioral modification course. when i picked her up her reactivity had not improved at all and had not seemed to have been addressed at the root cause. i have to now rehome her due to her reactivity issues and it not being possible to keep her in my household due to this. she behaves just the same as when i dropped her off. i feel very let down and dissatisfied by these services from what i was lead to believe when signing her up. if you have a dog needing help with reactivity do not take them here.
Calvin and his crew did a great job with Rambo. Looking forward to seeing him learn some more.
