Very satisfied with the training program and results. They were able to resolve a few problems that allowed me to enjoy my dog more. Ann takes the extra effort to keep her clients in touch with their dogs with videos while they are with her. My dog is always excited to hear her voice on the videos and enjoys staying with her and socializing with the other dogs.

It went very well. They clearly spent a lot if time with my dog and corrected some problems and taught him some new commands- and then they did the same with me too. Great people to work with.

They were excellent. Rick worked with my german shepherd who was being aggressive and gave me tools that helped me work with her. She is a totally different dog and in just a few hours, she is under control again. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

It was wonderful.. My dog loved it.. Came home with knowledge and practice of basic commands and additional essential skills such as "come", "heel".."place " ...leave it".. And she didn't jump on visitors any more.. After working with her for a short time, she walked by my side.. Looked to me as the leader.. All the while I was in contact with Anne Green, owner, who was always available to answer any questions and even come to my house if needed.. A wonderful experience for Sadie, my dog, as well as myself.. Highly recommended

It went incredibly well . I never thought this dog could be trained. He also was trained to socialize with other dogs ...he never did that before. We also got trained. Most of our dog issues were because of us.
A tail above has changed our lives!!! And Brady's too!!!

Excellent. Ann & Rick treated our dog as one of their own. They provide additional support after training with no extra charge.

They did a phenomenal job. Our 4 month old puppy was out of control! Biting, eating everything, terrorizing my children and friends. He was taking over our lives. He was uncontrollable to the point where we thought there was something wrong with him. We talked many times about giving him back. But, then Ann & Rick took him for 3 weeks. I got back and completely different puppy! He was in control and listened and was actually enjoyable. They changed our lives! He was the puppy we had always imagined - loving playful, sweet and still a crazy puppy! He followed all commands and was so easy to be around. He went into his crate happily, he never had an accident on the floor. He was perfect!
I cried when I left him there because I felt like a bad mommy. But Ann and Rick loved him like their own. They sent me pictures of him training and having fun. They kept me in the loop so I felt like I was still part of his life.
They are amazing at what they do! I cannot recommend them enough!

"[Member Name Removed], Rick and I want to thank you so very much for your wonderful, thoughtful review. Thank you for not saying we tried to steal him (ha ha). We LOVED having Finn here, as he reminds us so much of our beloved grand-dog Dunkin, also a Vizsla. We look forward to refreshing his training skills when he is here visiting over Thanksgiving! He'll also have fun. You know us, work IS play. We can not wait to bring him to run on the beach with the others, now that it's dog season again at the Dennis Beaches on beautiful Cape Cod! Thank you again for trusting Finn's training and care to us....it was our pleasure."

Anne and Rick were amazing!!!!!
Our then 7-month old German Shepherd was in desperate need for obedience training. She would bark and obnoxiusly pull whenever another dog approached, she would not follow commands and would pee when greeted. She boarded with Anne and Rick for over a week and literally came back a MUCH better behaved dog! It has been almost 3 months and she still follows through with what she was taught. They were so kind, compassionate and knowledgeable. Not only did they train her for a week, they have set up multiple meetings since with us and other dogs at stores and parks to continue to practice and refine the dogs obedience skills. I would recommend them 100 times over to anyone looking for support and guidance with their dog.

"Hi [Member Name Removed], Thank you SO much for your great review. We really appreciate it, and more than that - really feel honored we were selected to train Hazel. She is one of the sweetest Shepherd's we've seen. Your family has done a wonderful job socializing her, that made our job easy! We look forward to seeing you all on the Cape again soon! Thanks again!"

We went there and Rick met us and Mr Dinky. He was very good and within the time we were there had Dinky doing a few things he told him to. We went out side to show my husband how their dog reacts to the commands he's given to show what we could expect from the training results - but my husband decided he wasn't helping me with the training as there is nothing wrong with my dog. There is nothing wrong except he has no manners and has never been taught anything. We did not follow-up with the interactive training as we both needed to follow thru with it especially my husband as he spends the most time at home with Dinky. I have moved on to another plan. I would definitely recommend them they are very professional and have the owners and dogs best interests at heart.

She is extremely responsive, professional and competent. I have only the first draft of my resume completed, due to family issues that have taken my entire attention for the last several months. She is understanding, and has kept my case open for two months or so. I am really grateful for her work, and would recommend her services to anyone. She is a joy to work with as well.

They were fantastic! They are excellent dog trainers, both the husband and the wife. They trained with Cesar Millan. They have a huge backyard that is turfed. They have a training studio inside as well. It is the best money I have ever spent. I would highly recommend them for dog training. They stay in touch as well to see how the training is going.

Because of the training and help provided by Ann and Rick, we have a dog that we can take for walks anywhere. She is a more confident and happy dog.

Ann is the most amazing dog trainer and we tried a few before we were lucky enough to find her! We didn't experience any of the things that the gentleman with the negative review did, actually the complete opposite. We have a Doberman who has LOTS of energy, wouldn't listen AND we were preparing for our baby to be born when we were fortunate enough to find Ann. Our dog went into her residency program and Ann worked extensively with her to channel her energy, how to be gentle with a baby, basic obedience/manners and teach her just and quot;how to be.and quot;
When we picked up our dog, we noticed a difference immediately! She was more confident and obedient yet still had her sweet personality. Ann spent a few hours with us making sure we knew the commands, gave us the opportunity to ask questions and basically trained us . She really takes the time to make sure we understand what is important and how to communicate with our dog. Ann made a difference in our home quickly! She even came over once our baby was born to help properly introduce our dog to our new baby.
Thanks to Ann, we are complimented ALL of the time on what a good dog we have. We LOVE Ann!!!
