StructuredUp Dog Training & Services LLC

I want to shout out my brother in Christ and SonSon’s dog trainer StructuredUp Dog Training & Services LLC My fur baby always is so excited and always pulls while we walk him. It was easy to contact and pay for my services which is an initial consultation. Armani showed me and SonSon plenty of tricks and ways to get him to walk with a better mannerism. My dog gravitated to him so easily and felt he had a great spirit. Once he was done getting to know SonSon we talked business and let me tell you, for the quality of work the pricing was very reasonable. Ever since SonSon has been doing an awesome job with just that little he was taught. I would rate these services a 12/10 stars.

I signed up for six weeks of dog training with Armani this past summer and was excited to work with him. I had been watching his social media and really felt like he would be a great trainer for my dog. I read the google review about reliability but the rest of the reviews were good so I had hoped it was a one-off so I went forward with working with him. I found him to be knowledgeable about dog training techniques. He clearly has a strong understanding of dog behavior. I did feel that my dog benefitted from my time with Armani. She liked him and liked going to training, and I did see some progress in her behavior. I can tell he is a talented dog trainer and do think he makes a positive impact on the dogs he works with, as other reviews have highlighted. However there were some issues that overshadowed his talent that I think are important to share. My experience was marred by reliability issues. On multiple occasions, sessions were canceled or rescheduled at the last minute, and Armani still owes me some prepaid training sessions. He kept saying that the training would really click once we got to the in home portion but he did not reply to my texts to schedule time and we never had in the in home sessions, despite me paying for them. I did text Armani to share my concerns and he called me right away and offered a free additional week in addition to the in home sessions he owed me but unfortunately he did not reply to my text attempt to schedule the time. He also still has my dog’s e collar and has not replied to my texts to get it back. Despite his expertise, the lack of follow-through made the overall experience frustrating. I would not hire him again knowing what I know now. If you are interested in hiring him, I would recommend paying for one session at a time vs paying in bulk up front as I feel I did not get my money’s worth. Based on my experience, I would not recommend working with him unless you’re willing to take the risk of inconsistent scheduling, issues with reliability and follow up.
