The Dan Gentile Dog Training Center

Everyone at the training center is knowledgeable, friendly, professional, clearly loves dogs & willing to go above & beyond what they advertise. When we dropped off our 7 month old, stubborn, female Bernadoodle (Izzy) with behavior/dominance issues (biting, jumping, barking, not coming when called) we weren't sure what to expect. With our fingers crossed we went to the pickup & were extremely happy to find an entirely different dog. Izzy came home 90% trained & the other 10% is on us to reinforce what she learned at the training center.We couldn't be happier with the outcome of the training & would highly recommend Dan Gentile & his staff to anyone looking for an excellent training experience. Thank you all so much!

I don’t always write reviews but since I relied so heavily on them when choosing a trainer for my dog, I thought I should. My husband and I could not be any happier with the progress our baby Rocco made during his two weeks here. The main issues we had with our 80 lb pit lab mix was him pulling on walks when he saw any other animal as well as play biting with my husband constantly. Rocco came home as a new dog !! He stays at my side during walks and basically ignores all animals we pass. Mallory and the other girls were so kind and treated our boy as if he was their own. I called daily to check in on him and they never once made me feel like I was bothering them. Their excitement to talk about Rocco and share his progress actually made my day most days that he was gone ! While I warn that the drop off will be rough, I promise you that it is worth it !! I really cannot say enough about how happy we are that we did this and chose Dan Gentile’s training program. And on a personal note, they are extremely supportive to law enforcement and military ! We were pleasantly surprised about that at drop off being that husband is a police officer.

If there was a way that I could give 0 stars I would believe me when I say this it should not be taken lightly. DO NOT SEND YOUR DOG HERE. Dan Gentile is abusive to dogs in more ways than one. We sent our 5 month old mountain cur there for 2 weeks and did not even recognize his personality when he came back. He’s scared all the time and we have to be cautious when he’s around new people. We cannot even put him in the cage without him getting nervous and defensive. I know that while our dog has been there he has been kicked, shocked repeatedly, kept in the cage for way over the necessary amount of time.. long enough for him to use it as his bathroom. I wish there was a way we could report this place but unfortunately you don’t even need a license to train dogs. Dan Gentile needs to be shut down.
