Dog As A Second Language

Ralph the dog is beginning week 4 of 5 total. I will visit him soon to learn the commands to reinforce his training long term. I would recommend "Dogs as a second language" or DSL for short.

Alfredo is a gifted trainer. He is amazing. I used to have so much trouble trying to get Emma to do anything that I wanted her to do. Within minutes I learned how to communicate instructions to her and she followed them. It used to be so frustrating walking her and I was always afraid that she would unintentionally hurt me. She is like a new dog now. The day after training she was a little unsure about what she was supposed to do. That lasted about two minutes. As soon as I had her walk next to me it all came back to her and she has been amazing. We have been in situations now where she used to take off running and drag me. Now I can correct her behavior instantly. My neighbors are amazed at the difference in her behavior. No one can believe that she has only had one class!

These folks are just amazing with dogs! It's great to feel like I can trust a facility with my dog for a day (or night, as they do boarding also) and not worry! The price is fantastic and our pup came home SO happy and SO tired from all the playtime! Even better - you can check out the pic's of the place on Facebook, and each day they post the 'pictures of the pack' so you can see your pup's at play.....all kinds of great activities for the dogs, this is a real PLAY center for the pooches! Additional: My neighbors referred us here and they had their dog in the boot-camp program, the 3-week program is $1100, which we just can't afford, but every time I see our neighbor's dog I gotta say I am tempted to scrounge up the money as DSL did an amazing job with her training! She is obedient OFF-leash and is just under 1-year old, comes when called and lays obediently nearby when they play out in our neighborhood pocket-park, it's quite impressive to see! A testament to the training in boot camp! My ONE request of DSL is that they gravel-in the parking area to the side of the drive, as it gets REALLY muddy on wet days when you have to park for pick-up or drop-off! We LOVE you guys and can't wait to bring our little gal back to play!

We love sending our dog to DSL for boarding when we are away on trips! When we moved to the Charlotte area this past summer, we were concerned about finding a boarding place for our nervous/apprehensive dog. However, DSL has put our minds at ease. Our dog has been excited when we drop her off at DSL and the pictures they post of "the dog pack" on Facebook show us how happy our dog is when she is staying at DSL. We are thankful we have found a dog boarding place that makes our dog happy and makes us feel good when we leave her there!

The service was great. Kaitlyn really cares about the animals. The facility is clean and the staff is very trustworthy.

The service was awesome. I have used them repeatedly. The cost is very reasonable. Their whole staff is very well trained and they really care about the dogs and their customers. They have a very efficient system in place, they are very organized, and they are professional as well.

They provided fantastic service and he even posts pictures and videos online. I have used there service and I plan on using them in the future. They have extremely competitive rates for animal boarding. He keeps the animals in his home instead of the kennel and I found that to be unique.

Overall, I'm very happy to have found this place for my 4-legged baby to have a place to either just spend a day playing or for boarding if we go out of town!
