FirstBarkWe have a different dog! Rebecca understood our anxious dog’s personality from jump, and she taught us how to come to communication with more empathy and understanding. It’s been so much more pleasant and less fraught on walks. Thank you so much for the tools you’ve given us to succeed!

How long is the training
Depends on your goals & where your pup is at. The consultation is key. My boy was in camp for two weeks. They're fantastic. Worth a look.
Community answer · Angie H · 2019-09-21
It's usually three weeks

I have a 6 month old American Bully Dog and would like help training her, can you help?
This is not an official forum for this business, thus is just a place for other Google map users to help each other out. You can contact them either through the phone number or email listed on their website. But I used them for my 5 year old pitbull and they did a good job of training her to be a better behaved dog.
Community answer · evan kay · 2018-09-21
Yes, they would be able to train her. :)

I cannot say enough amazing things about Instinct. When we adopted a puppy I realized I was lost! I'd only had adult dogs, and I needed help! We've done training and boarding with instinct and I feel so incredibly lucky and thankful for their support and genius. they are worth it! Sam and Karen are incredible trainers, but I suspect they all are.
We've had an amazing experience with Sam and the team at Instinct! From the very beginning, they took a nuanced approach in figuring out the best means of training for our dog. We enrolled in the Home School program to address his reactivity at the front door and territorial behaviors. We have made so much progress in just 3 weeks. We are extremely grateful and highly recommend their services!

Just tried inquiring about their services as a local resident and they couldn’t answer, robotic, not warm, and absolutely not from the community from the tone of the interaction. Their lack of care for an initial inquiry says a lot. And the person who answered gleefully expressed she’s been there for 7 years. Okay, so can you answer what liability you have for dogs or if you’re properly insured if something happens to the dog? She transferred me to a non existing ‘manger’ and they didn’t pick up from there. If you love your pet, consider this a warning. Perhaps the trainers were outstanding but the business didn’t assure me they were properly equipped, not even w basic information. Good luck
Instinct is the only place I trust with my dogs care.

Instinct is the only place I trust with my dogs care. My dog has an anxious disposition and they know how to calm his and my nerves :) I love my dog like a child, and am very selective about where I leave him when I have to travel. Instinct is the only place I use for my dog Antonio. The staff is great! Dayvonne always alleviates all my worries and truly loves the dogs that are in Instincts care. I highly recommend for boarding and training!
