Let this be the review you believe, In as little as 2 lessons I've seen the progress that I knew my dog was always capable of. Price is a steal compared to big label brands charging you 2 grand. The father Son duo make training engaging and judgment free. Stellar service all around.

I had a great experience working with L.A. and L.A. Jr. at Always Faithful Dog Training with my dog, Roxy. From the beginning, they were extremely patient, knowledgeable, professional, and understanding. They took the time to get to know Roxy, understand her personality and behavior, and figure out exactly what she needed help with.What I appreciated most was that L.A. and L.A. Jr. didnt just train Roxythey also trained me on how to better communicate with her. They explained everything step by step and showed me the proper way to give commands, correct unwanted behaviors, reward positive behaviors, and remain consistent with her training at home.Since working with Always Faithful Dog Training, I have noticed a big improvement in Roxy. She listens better, follows commands more consistently, stays more focused, and is becoming much easier for me to manage. I also feel more confident as her owner because I now have the tools and knowledge to continue working with her outside of our training sessions.L.A. and L.A. Jr. made the entire experience comfortable and encouraging. You can tell that they genuinely care about the dogs they work with and want both the dog and the owner to succeed. They were patient with us throughout the process and never made me feel uncomfortable asking questions or needing additional guidance.Training with them has also helped strengthen the bond between Roxy and me because I understand her better and know how to communicate with her more effectively.I would highly recommend L.A. and L.A. Jr. at Always Faithful Dog Training to anyone looking for knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated dog trainers. Im extremely thankful for everything they have taught me and Roxy, and Im excited to continue using everything we learned!

Exceptional First Experience And We Havent Even Started Training Yet!I had to take a moment to share my experience with Always Faithful Dog Training and the owner, LA Sr., and his son, LA Jr.As a relatively new dog owner without a lot of experience with dogs, Ive been trying to understand how to better communicate with my 4-year-old Goldendoodle, Diamond. Shes not aggressive at all shes loving and full of personality but somewhere along the way, I think Diamond decided SHE was running the household! She doesnt consistently listen to me, and I knew I needed help not only training Diamond, but also learning how to become a better and more confident dog owner.From my very first conversation with Always Faithful, I felt heard. Both LA and his son were incredibly patient, excellent listeners, took notes, asked thoughtful questions, and even shared some initial observations about what they believe may be contributing to Diamonds behavior.What impressed me most was the amount of time LA Sr. spent talking with me. Most consultations Ive experienced are 10 minutes if that. LA stayed on the phone with me for nearly TWO HOURS! Im not sure which one of us lost track of time, but the conversation was so engaging and informative that it certainly didnt feel that long. He never made me feel rushed.Our in-person assessment is scheduled for this week, and one of the BEST parts is that hes coming to us! Hell be evaluating Diamond in her own environment, observing our interactions, and even walking the neighborhood with us. I love that he wants to see what is actually happening on Diamonds turf instead of making assumptions based on a short conversation.His pricing is also very reasonable, especially considering the personal attention and time he has already invested.I havent even started the actual training yet, but after our consultation, I feel confident that LA understands that this journey involves training both Diamond AND me. I truly believe he can help us get back on track.If that first conversation is any indication of whats ahead, Diamond and I are in good hands!Stay tuned, Ill be updating my review throughout our training journey and sharing Diamonds progress along the way!

Our dog needed help with basic obedience, and L.A. and his son delivered! Obedience commands are so much better, and we're more confident handling our dog. Excellent trainers.
