What people are saying
EXCELLENT Based on 224 reviews Posted on Wendy RichTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience and results. Our dog learned to calm down and listen! She is a work in progress but we are thrilled so far!Posted on Kristy MontoyaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We sent our 6-month-old Doberman to Mountain State K9 Academy for their 3-week obedience training, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. We were referred to Gator through a friend who works with him, and he was absolutely amazing. Every day he took the time to make sure our dog was not only getting the training she needed but was also loved and well cared for while she was there. The daily training sessions really paid off. Our Doberman had a ton of energy going in, and she came home much more mellow, incredibly obedient, and actually listens to us now. The best part—she walks on a loose leash! We definitely plan to continue training and are excited to see what else she learns from Gator and the team. Thank you for everything you did for our girl!Posted on Miranda MazzantTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I don’t even know where to start. I couldn’t be happier with our experience. Not only is everyone extremely kind and personable but I’ve brought home a completely different dog. Our dog is obedient, walking on a leash with manners, staying when told to stay, etc. Please don’t bat an eye when considering training at this facility. Their prices are reasonable and you will NOT be disappointed. I will be taking my other dog here asap.Posted on Carol S.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My dog, Winston, is doing so much better since completing his training with Gator. We had gone to several trainers before, and even a behavioralist, trying to get a handle on Winston’s reactivity - with no success. We even had one trainer ghost us! Gator saw Winston for who he is - not an aggressive dog, just afraid. Winston has also “enjoyed” agility classes with Patrick. Just the fact that he can participate in agility training shows how much progress he’s made. Thanks Gator, Patrick and the rest of the staff who's taken care of Winston.Posted on Cindi PaternosterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a veterinarian for the past 9 years and a dog owner for much longer, I don't consider myself a beginner with dogs- but when my dog Rivendell, a high-energy independent GSP, started jumping the fence last summer to chase rabbits, I knew I needed help working on his focus and recall. We started private lessons with Dylan and the progress over the past 6 months has been incredible. I am learning so much from Dylan who is positive, patient, consistent, and kind. Riven looks forward to his training which is important to me- I never wanted his training to induce fear or anxiety. We successfully introduced an e-collar for long range communication/correction, and it has been fantastic- Riven loves to wear it and it allows so much freedom. We are back to playing frisbee in the yard without any fence-jumping, and we are now looking forward to Canine Good Citizen certification as well as nose work classes and maybe a trick title or two. I have seen Patrick and Gator working with dogs at the facility during our visits and they are also fantastic. The environment feels low stress and the dogs like the staff, which is a great sign! I have confidence that the training staff is knowledgeable and they care, which is invaluable. Highly recommend. The only feedback (that I hope is constructive) is that at the very beginning I felt that the “board and train” option was pushed pretty hard even though I was never interested in it. The information flyer I got ONLY had information about board and train and I had to email to ask about other options. I think it must be popular and it’s a good choice for some, but I’m glad I chose individual private lessons instead.Posted on Janet ListenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great staff and CeCe loves to be boarded there!!Posted on Danny O'LearyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A GREAT place to get your dog trained. Worth the price because of the extensive training that happens after the initial payment. I suggest getting your pup to them as early as possible. Our guy was around 8 months old and is doing well, we still have group classes and a 1 on 1 to use. Gator is a great trainer who trained our Gator! The whole team is fantastic over there.Posted on Heidi KlepperTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best training and day care facilityPosted on Debrah SniderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sent a four-month-old puppy here after two of her littermates were enrolled and were doing well. All three did very well.
