Questions & answers

What people have asked about this business.

Do the trainers at your facility use e-collars on the dogs?

Yes they use e-collars. It comes at week 5 of the 10 week off leash program. They take the time to thoroughly explain and show you what is going on with the collars. It is not in any way inhumane!! This was by far the best investment that we made in our dog....so much so that when we got our second puppy, I am currently going through the 10 week off leash program with him as well!!! To me, there is no higher praise that I can give someone other than repeat business!

Yes they use e-collars. It depends on the season that the dog is currently in as to if they are in the e-collar stage. We just completed our 10 week session and we could not be happier.

Community answer · Barry Smith · 2019-09-21

When I was there I did not see any of the dogs with e-callers

Dogs by Andy is the best! I’ve trusted Andy and his amazing team with my boy Clash for training and boarding ever since he was a puppy and they do a great job. Highly recommend. Plus its really cool to see all the celebrities around the country that literally only trust Andy to create a really well behaved and loyal furry friend. 10/10 ❤️

I have 2 Mal/GSD puppies. Both are doing training with Taz. She is wonderful with both of them. We've been going for 8 wks now and what a difference in their behaviors. I can now take them anywhere with me and they behave wonderfully. Wish I could give them 10 stars but 5 is the highest.Everyone from the owner to the trainers are great and Lauren at the front desk is the perfect person for the job. She is so inviting as soon as you walk in the door, makes you feel like family. I know I have made some friends for life.

We got a cute little girl from ICAS who is going to be well traveled so we also wanted her to be well mannered! They’ve done a great job giving Poppy and I the tools to continue training on our adventures!

Benson recently completed on and off leash training after a 3 week in kennel experience. I cannot say enough good things. A big thank you to Andy, Taz, Eriq, and Rebecca for time they’ve invested into Benson’s success (and my own). This program is an INVESTMENT. Let that sink in. You, as the dog parent, need to be honest with yourself about the work YOU are willing to put in. This facility is not designed or touted to be a 3 week “fix” to your 10 year problem. If that is the solution you seek, this program is not for you. And that is Ok but you need to be forthright. Success comes in time with boundaries and expectations for both pet and owner. If you don’t do the work, don’t demand the result. Do the work because coming home, your pet WILL test you! But that is clearly explained before you leave the facility. And you will fall before you stand. Nothing is free, financially or otherwise. Also do your research on several dog training facilities. Educate yourself on methods and objectives and look at the credentials of the owner. Andy’s is extensive, unique, and honed. He’s built his business on his education and the genuine love he has for the furry set. His expectations trickle down to his employees as well as the dogs. It is a well oiled machine…tried and true. My dog came home happy, healthy, and enjoying a sense of freedom because he knew the expectations and the consequences if he CHOSE to ignore the rules. Actions have repercussions. And you are always encouraged to end your trainings on a high note. Reviews online are a dime a dozen. Everyone’s experiences are slightly different based on interaction, interpretation, and bias. Do yourself a favor and do independent research. Then make the choice that fits YOU best. Your finances are accepted at one place as much as another. But know your end game. And this facility does not disappoint!
