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.

Going to Instinct Dog Behavior & Training was an absolutely wonderful experience for me and my dog Bagel! I looked into Instinct after being recomended by other trainers to see a behaviorist and Jessica went above and beyond. She was extremely patient with Bagel and answered all of my questions during the sessions and via chat in between sessions. Jessica and the whole staff were so kind every time we went! I will definitely be back for any continued training needs.

We can’t thank Megan enough for helping us. Our dog struggles with being reactive around other people and walks tend to be stressful for him. After working with Megan, we saw a positive change. Her patient approach and understanding of dog behavior made a great difference. Megan taught us how to communicate better with our dog and understand what he needs. We highly recommend Instinct to anyone struggling with behavioral challenges.

Mari was a pleasure to work with. Her demeanor is patient, calm yet firm, and she always helps us solve any problematic issues. We enjoyed working with her for basic training of our new puppy.

We had a great experience working with Mari Skoultchi at Instinct Training. We did the Home School program, during which Mari taught my reactive dachshund strategies to calm down faster when someone rings the doorbell or enters the home. She also helped him to become more comfortable in his crate and to see it as a safe space. I am also now better equipped to manage my dog's behavior and reinforce the training she has accomplished. Thank you, Mari and Instinct Training!

Did the one week board and train program for our 10 month old cavapoo. He has some reactivity issues with large dogs. We totally understood that one week wasn’t going to create a profound impact in our dog, but we were traveling and wanted him to have a good schedule / learn a few more skills while we were away. The trainers here are awesome! We specifically worked with Rebecca and our dog loved her so much. They are so particular about every dogs’ needs, requirements, issues etc and really care about every dog they take in. They taught our dog (and us) some useful skills and we will definitely be using them in the future.
