Missed a week of class, they managed to condense it into a 5 minute "let me do it for you" where the instructor unsuccessfully tried to get the dog to sit. Good to know an hours worth of instruction can be boiled down into 5 ineffective minutes. Seriously, the majority of the hour long class is the 'instructor' talking to you as if you are the animal and then an excuse of socialization to watch them play for 10 minutes at a time, 3 times a class. Not including the mandatory mid-class 10 minute bathroom break.
The Calling All Dogs staff was amazing and the basic training class was effective and affordable. My buddy, Kaladin, knows exactly what to do to earn treats by showing his eagerness to keep learning. Thank you team Calling All Dogs Team!
I would 100% recommend Calling All Dogs. My dog and I love them and were extremely enriched for going. ;)
We loved Calling All Dogs!! We have a Rhodesian Ridgeback and were told we would need to socialize her and train her with positive reinforcement early. We are so glad we did! We participated in three 6-week puppy classes and took advantage of their puppy play time. When all of our sessions were over, our puppy was such a well behaved dog! She's now 1 year old and still obeys. We get compliments on her constantly about how great of a dog she is and we know Calling All Dogs and their trainers played a huge part in that!
Extremely poor customer service. Left numerous messages on multiple days asking for a call back and information on our training after I had to take my puppy to the emergency vet. Over a week now and no response.
During one of the puppy play times my puppy was viciously attacked by a much larger dog as well, we left the puppy play early.
Long story short, just liking dogs and knowing they react to treats does not qualify you to open a dog training center. Would not recommend. If you're interested in training your dog, hire a private trainer. Group classes do NOT WORK.
Another review said it best. This positive reinforcement technique is just a "shove treats down your animals throat until it eventually does what you want". Our dog had little interest after a couple treats and their suggestion was to try different treats that they so conveniently sold. Same result, no refund when it was just as unappealing.
They were completely awesome for my brand new pup and me, the brand new puppy owner. The techniques they used of positive reinforcement with different levels of treats worked insanely well. My puppy could sit, lay down, fetch a ball, and shake after 3 or so classes. There were always at least 2 trainers in the room. They were very attentive to each and every puppies needs and personalities. They gave notes after each class so you didn't have to write down or remember perfectly everything from the class. They had potty times during the class and a bowl of water out for all the active pups.
