REAL LIFE DOG TRAINING RAVING REVIEWS

!!! CONSUMER ALERT - BUYER BEWARE !!!

Be especially leery of trainers who refuse to give you any references. You can bet your dog's life that this is a red flag. Think about it, if they are proud of their training method and their relationship with their clients, then they should have NOTHING to hide. This is especially important if they have NO group classes for you to observe. Your wallet, your dog and your precious time's depending on it. No matter how impressive their web sites seem or how convincing they may sound on the phone, don't skip this. You won't regret it. If someone's happy with you, then they won't mind bragging about you. Isn't this true with everything in life?

Success Stories

Comparing Dog Secrets to other web sites is like comparing a Hyndai to a Ferarri. It just blows them all away. There is just no comparison.. Very impressive, easy to navigate, informative, and for those of you who prefer to SEE things, the video clip does its magic.

When I talked to Kevin on the phone, I was sold. You really can tell he knows his stuff and is one of the few who can actually deliver results. You'll love his humor and how much he really loves working with dogs and their owners.

After I send my dog to him, he returned back totally potty trained. Not to forget no more whining, scratching or excessive barking. If you want results. Kevin is your guy.

My gosh Kevin, my dogs actually respond to NO for the first time. The walking is fun and I got the neighbors to love them again. Thank you so much.

Wow, after bringing my Shiba home. My wife insisted on taking him to the vet to check and see whether this IS our dog or Kevin simply switched him with another well-mannered-Shiba.

I told my wife come on and be realistic. First of all, Shibas are an extremely rare breed, and second, he is probably one of the biggest Shiba's you'd ever see. It's not like a lab or a golden which is a very common breed.

She still insisted on me taking him to our vet and scan him from his microchip. Prior the visit our vet said: No that's your doggie alright. Look at his unique markings and his size.

Let me test him for being handshy, and he pretend to swat him with his hand. That's just amazing he said. I have seen how this dog reacted in the past. This trainer is a mircale worker.

I cannot thank you enough Kevin. Not only you save our dog, as you remember you even saved our marriage. Despite him biting my wife, I took him to the pound to be put down, and my wife thought of me as a great Nazi and stopped talking to me and wanted me to give him another chance, which I am very glad I did by chosing you for training him.

To whom it may concern... Kevin Salem is THE BEST!!! I've worked with many dog trainers over the past 20 years, with different breeds. Lately I've gravitated to stray/shelter/rescue dogs.

The most challenging has been Kobe- our rescue Akita. Kevin taught us how to work with Kobe, who has become an ambassador for his breed. Kobe has learned to become a joyfully obedient dog, and now lives in peace with the other canines in our household and the world beyond. Kevin is respectful and accomodating of each breed's and owner's characteristics - strengths and weaknesses - and works to bring out the best of each.

....I have to tell you, the training, encouragement, individual attention, and motivation that followed was astonishing! And the results were phenomenal! Signing up with All Breeds Dog Training was one of the best investments I have ever made!

I receive compliments on a very regular basis regarding how well behaved my dogs are. I impress neighbors and other dog owners with a simple down-stay that is a fun and challenging game to the dogs. I have learned how to train without treats, pain or punishment.

This is a classic case of "you get what you pay for," including that Real-Life Dog Training is an excellent VALUE. You, in essence get your own personal trainer, who really cares, WILL return your telephone calls and WILL show up for appointments on time! What more could a dog owner ask for? The cost is well worth it.

Thanks for reading this!

My Lab-mix was extremely over-protective, aggressive and fearful. There was no way I could take him around people or dogs without him barking and growling the whole time. In fact, when I walked my dog, people couldn't even say "good morning" from across the street without him growling and wanting to attack them. Physically, I could barely hold him back) We were in desperate need of major behavior modification and was with Kevin's broad knowledge of dog training.

His approach is professional, patient, and humorous at the same time. After the first home visit, I began to see a dramatic change in the amount of control I had over my dog. And after completing all of my private lessons, plus the group sessions, I have complete control over my dog in ANY situation.

Now I can take my dog on walks without him barking, or growling. We can go to dog parks without any problems, and Animal Control doesn't leave warnings on my door anymore! More importantly, I am sure All Breeds Dog Training has saved my dog's life, not to mention saving me thousands of dollars in lawsuits.

Many thanks to Kevin and Real Life Dog Training, it has truly been a pleasure for both "Cayman" my lab mix and myself."

Before enrolling in Kevin's program, I did extensive research on dog training. I wanted the best for my dog and I wanted immediate results. I came across Kevin's website, spoke to him, and he answered all my questions without reservation. I eventually decided to enroll even though it involved driving over 2.5 hours one-way for each lesson!

My Dobermann Pinscher was 3 months old when he began his lessons. I was amazed at all the things Kevin was able to teach my dog within just 2 lessons. I don't know if it is typical for all dogs, but by my second lesson, I could already make my dog come to me from over 100 feet away off leash! By the sixth lesson, my dog was 6 months old and was doing some really advanced stuff when most other trainers said that my dog couldn't start training until that age. All my friends and family have said that they have never seen such a well trained dog at such a young age. I wanted a super-trained dog and Kevin truly delivered!

I loved their program. It is geared toward real world. You'll notice Kevin covers important points that most trainers tend to miss or simply ignore. You will be amazed on how much of a difference you see y our dog's attitude, as well as your knowledge once Kevin covers them all in detail.

We just wanted to let you know that after only two private lessons we are seeing better results than all of our other trainers combined.

We tried 6-week "boot camp" for labs, other in-home dog training, 6 weeks of group puppy lessons and everyone just seemed to give up because their particular technique did not work with our yellow Lab, Bailey. We also had a major excessive barking issue with Baily. I am talking about for two hours and NON STOP.

The first time out Kevin had the dog quiet in the car. We appreciate the fact that so much time was dedicated to finding and using the right method. We now look forward to our lessons rather than dreading them.

Thanks, Kevin.

As a veterinarian, I am fully capable of identifying behavior problems with my client’s pets. I was letting my own unruly dogs run my house. Kevin is great in reminding me that I must practice what I preach. He has helped my client’s dogs to become perfect canine citizens. I recommend him to all my clients to work with dogs with general obedience as well as with difficult behavior problems.

I am thrilled with the amount of service we have received in one on one home private lessons. It really was a great start for my puppy. Real Life Dog Training’s classes are stern but fun.

I am proud to say that within a few months of training, I can comfortably take sugar on walks off her leash and not worry about losing her to a distraction. There is nothing better in the world than a well-trained dog. This was a great investment, one that I would recommend to any and all owners!

Kevin’s dog training has helped me train my two Akitas which (most trainers have turned down) who were getting more and more aggressive with each other and strangers. I thought I was going to have to give one of them away, because it was so hard to see them hurt each other.

However, through the training I have learned how to work with them and significantly reduce their aggressiveness. Kevin’s techniques and specific feedback gave me the knowledge I needed to get them to listen to me, instead of them doing whatever they felt like. Kevin is very humane person, and therefore uses humane training techniques which is very important to me. Surprisingly, I noticed a huge difference in only two weeks. I am not embarrassed to walk my dogs in public anymore. Actually, when I walk my dogs now , I get compliments all the time on how well behaved they are, and how well they walk with me.

I have gone to several different dog trainers over the years and I like All breeds dog training’s approach the best. The head instructor “Kevin” has a great sense of humor which makes the classes fun and interesting.
All breeds dog training definitely knows about dogs and they are the best.

-Dolores Mayer

Our experience with All breeds dog training has been terrific. When we first called All breeds, we were desperate. Our dog was a very wild puppy in need of serious behavior modification. She would bite our hands while playing, jump on us, our bed, our couch, and bark when she wanted our attention. Basically, she was running the house. We noticed the difference after the first at home visit.

They listened to our questions and the concerns we were having with Sadie. They offered many solutions and techniques. If one technique wasn't working we had several others to try. I feel this training is very customized to fit specific needs. I like that the classes are in a realistic setting with distractions such as joggers. It has prepared us for the real situations we will face in the future. Lastly, I appreciate that they are readily available for any questions we have.

- Robert Cope

As someone who has had quite a bit of experience training dogs myself, I really appreciated Kevin's 'Real World' approach to dog training. In some of the other classes I've been to, the trainers spent a lot of time focusing on getting the dog to sit straight or on practicing ACK maneuvers; as I wasn't going to show my dog, this was a waste of time. The combination of home visits and group lessons also worked really well.

The home visits allowed me to work one-on-one with a trainer on my dog's problem areas, while the classes enabled me to practice around distractions. Kevin also has a great sense of humor and is able to make his students laugh at both themselves and their canine companions.
