Fame Kennels & Training Academy

We did a 3 week board and train with our 1-year-old GS. We are soooo happy with the results. Our dog, Marley, was dog aggressive and now is well-behaved. When we have guests they say, "This has to be a different dog." After training with Taylor, Marley listens at home and in public. We are now able to comfortably take Marley anywhere with us.The training helped our dog and it also helped us to be better owners/trainers. If you need a dog trainer see Taylor. She is awesome.

Let me tell you about Fame Kennels.... We have an 18month old, 70 pound Kuvasz female who has never been socialized, trained or integrated into a domestic situation. She was a rescue from a breeder. The breed is independent, stubborn and protective. Put all that together and you get a dog that was really struggling to exist in our household - not even to mention as a integrated part of our family - pushing our frustrations to the point where we were possibly going to have to return her, though we were already attached. Taylor took our Toastie, or Tostito as Taylor calls her, and in 3 weeks turned into an obedient, more confident and so much more moldable dog. Before, if she went into our yard, we could NEVER get her inside without some type of trickery to chase her into our back door. She ran from us in the house and was always fearful of any new interaction, even if it was from one of us that she trusted, or seemingly trusted. It is an understatement to say that she is a new dog. She is not perfect and has a long way to go to be a true canine good citizen, but she is a dream compared to before she went to Taylor at Fame Kennels. We work with her everyday and reinforce the commands she was taught. She is getting better day by day and is gaining confidence in herself and in our household as a member of our family. Her on-leash work is simply amazing. Off-leash is great (come, sit, down) and getting better and better (have not attempted heel off-leash yet), but soon to come. We have been lax on the place command. She uses "place" to go to a spot where she feels comfortable, but not exactly to where we want her to go. We need to work on that on-leash to get her acclimated to doing it in our house. We owe so much to Taylor and her team for taking Toastie from a real challenge, to a dog that can exist and learn as a member of our family and learn to trust us. So much appreciation... If you have a dog that needs help and you are struggling like we did with getting ahead of the problems, the 90 minute drive to Ringgold, GA is sooo worth the outcome!!!!! Do yourself a favor.....

We have a one year old poodle and a three year old shelter lab mix who carried a lot of anxiety in social situations - seeing other dogs or people if on hikes, brought out barking, charging and just overall fear and bad manners. Our fear was that the puppy would start to mirror and feed off the anxiety but we had no idea how to change the behavior. We reached out to Fame Kennels and Training and inquired about what they offer and Taylor was so responsive and helpful. They attended the 2 week training program and it proved to be the best investment we could have ever made for each of them. We gained a greater understanding for how to train them and be their leader and with that came two dogs who listen and are so eager to please. They follow commands and heel on leash and our stress level as their owners and leaders has gone away. We are ALL so much more confident to go on hikes, go to outdoor restaurants, walk down the street, have kids and adults pet them. We truly could not have asked for more. To see a shelter dog go from fear and anxiousness to confident and happy is one of the greatest joys, so thank you Taylor and team. We could not recommend them enough!
