Introduction: My husband, Paul and I have been running our dog training business for over 40 years now, and I think the most rewarding thing is when I get a call from someone who says they had their previous dog go through our training program perhaps 15 or 20 or 30 years ago, and that because of our training methods, they had a truly enjoyable canine family member for many happy years... and now they have a new dog, and they looked us up so they could train him with our company and have another wonderful life-long companion! That kind of feedback makes me feel like we have made a big difference in so many families' lives over the years! I actually get several calls every month with comments like these!

Rosie Healey saved my dog from being put down. We couldn't control his nipping and we felt we had no choice. We enrolled in Rosie's class and she took us step by step until we were able to control the dog. We are very grateful to her for taking the time to help us through this problem. Now we have a wonderful dog, thanks to Rosie!

I needed help with my 8 year old Goldien Retriever becaused he nipped someone at the apartment complex where I live and was told I could no longer keep my companion dog. I immediately signed up with Dog Services Unlimited (found on line) to see if they could help. They offered a private training one hour weekly at the apartment complex so he could be specifically trained at his home and the apartment grounds. Patty signed me up immediately and Khara came right away to evaluate the situation and start training. It only took 3 sessions to learn so much especially how to anticipate a potential situation and handle it immediately. My dog responded well and actually seemed relieved that he no longer had to be constantly on guard because I was in charge. Khara addressed every issue possible and her style of training reinforced my learning. Ultimately, my dog was allowed to stay at my apartment. I was so pleased with the training that I am starting a group training with Dog Services Unlimited to help my dog be more social. I know he will do well. What surprised me was how an 8 year old dog, set in his ways, could learn so easily and happily. Thank you Dog Services Unlimited.

Our trainer answered all the ten concerns we had listed. Most helpful was the concept that our dog is a pack animal and is looking for leadership. The instructor told us that we are the "alpha dogs" and she will follow us if we are firm in our directions to her followed up with praise. Putting her in a backing up and going down position were expllained as elements to keep our puppy from jumping up on us. A trip line was discussed and has proved very successful in controlling our puppy.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    All of our fees for our various private training packages, our board-training programs, and our group classes in over 50 Orange County, CA locations are listed on our website! So, you can browse our site and get an idea of what will fit your budget before you call us. We offer affordable prices, and we don't try to talk you into paying for more private lessons than what you might need. Most people can accomplish most of their training needs in just three 1-hour lessons $230), as long as they follow up with daily homework workouts with their dog. Our group classes are extremely reasonable ($80 - $90 for a 7-week session) and if you live anywhere in or near Orange County, CA, we probably have a class near you!

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Experience counts! Every one of our Obedience Trainers has been on our staff for at least 15 years... some more than 25 years! All of them have worked with a wide variety of breeds over the years, and all have a vast wealth of knowledge on all aspects of companion dog training! Be careful about choosing a trainer based only on whether they are "certified", since often someone can obtain a certification on-line these days without having much practical experience working with either dogs or clients! Ask for references that show that the trainer has been working with clients for a number of years.
