We recently completed the 8 week training course with our trainer. We were highly impressed. Our dog is completely different from class 1 to now. Our trainer Lydia with Unleash Fido she was so professional, nice, and personable. You can just tell she loves her job. She took amazing care of girl Rena. She was always so happy to see Rena and us.she was also very accommodating for scheduling after school home visits. And extremely responsive. Rena learned how to do sit/stay/come, heel, place and down. You absolutely have to continue with your dog at home. While the trainers know what they’re doing, you have to keep it up. She’s now an expert at all of these “moves Highly highly recommend!!! So glad we made the call and chose them to help us with our pup!
We rescued a shelter dog over a year and a half ago. He was about 16 months old at the time. He had severe reactivity to people, dogs, and unexpected things. Teddy is part of the family but we did not know what to do for him and if this training did not work we thought we might have to get rid of him. Teddy was part of the 4 week behavior modification training and it was the best thing we could have done for him. Lydia our dog trainer was amazing. We have a well trained dog and our anxious dog was able to come off all prescription medications. We are now able to take him to trails, see people and other dogs without freaking out. One of our training sessions we did at home depot and it was wonderful. Lydia took her time with my husband and I to make sure we were both comfortable. She is also willing to come to our house to help us work with Teddy and our geriatric cat and with having guests over. We are so grateful and blessed to have Unleash Fido as part of our family. We definitely recommend this company. Our dog is like a brand new dog.
We took our Joe to Unleash Fido to have him trained to be less aggressive and more controlled while walking. Micayala was Joe's trainer and was wonderful. She is very caring and takes her time to ensure it was a good experience for him. Joe is so much better, no aggression as he had before, and he is so calm and controlled during walks. My concern was it might change his personality, but he's the same as before, just better controlled. Micayala not only worked with Joe, but has worked closely with my wife and I to ensure we know how to communicate with him. Micayala continues to work with us, and Joe, to improve the training and ensure we don't back track. I would highly recommend Micayala to anyone looking to have thier dog trained. Thank you Micayala, we appreciate you.
We sent our puppy Great Dane to Unleash Fido around 4 months old (now 6 months old now) and he came back so well behaved. Lydia & her team did amazing work with wild Wilbur. We have also boarded him a few times now too. We look forward to the advanced off leash training in the new couple months. I was recommended to Unleash by our previous Dane breeder and I would also recommend to anyone with a new puppy or problematic dog. Unleash has a top notch facility, highly capable trainers, and their work speaks for itself. Also the socialization part has been very beneficial now seeing him around others dogs, kids, etc. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ -Clay, Aniston & Mr. Wilbur
We had Dakota as our trainer at Unleash Fido, and he was amazing! I always read reviews before trying anything new, especially when it comes to my puppy, and the great reviews for Dakota were spot on. Our golden retriever puppy, Kazimir, went through the puppy boot camp with him, and it honestly gave me my life back. Kaz was getting hard to control as he grew, especially since my fiancé works all day, and we knew we needed help. The difference before and after training is night and day! Dakota was always available to answer questions, super patient, and so knowledgeable. The whole staff is also incredibly kind and welcoming. Every time Kaz went in for training, he was thrilled to see Dakota, which made us feel great knowing he was comfortable and cared for. This is 100% an investment worth making. We’re even using their boarding services now because we trust them so much with Kaz. If you’re on the fence—don’t be! You will not regret it. And best of all, Kaz is still his goofy, happy self—just with much better manners!
