 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gary is fantastic. He came to our house to work one-on-one with our dog. But that wasn't the end of it. He met us in parks, stores, and basically wherever we wanted to work with the dog. He doesn't set a specific number of days or hours that he will work with the dog. Instead, he works with the dog until the owner is satisfied. And even then, he will guarantee the training after he's done. I can't recommend him enough!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gary was fantastic with our dogs, he was thorough, prompt, punctual and very professional. This is truly an individual who cares about the wellbeing of our four-legged friends and training them so they can safely enjoy being dogs. I would encourage anyone who has ever thought about considering a dog trainer to at least get a consultation with Gary.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We loved All About Dogs, LLC.  Gary was a great trainer who listened and addressed the issues we wanted to work on with our two dogs Cody and Oscar.  We contacted Gary because Cody and Oscar weren't getting along.  We had Cody for three years and then decided to get Oscar.  The two of them weren't getting along and having them in the same house was very stressful.  Gary assured us through the training he does they would learn to get along.  It took several sessions to get them to tolerate each other, but eventually they got to a place where they could be together.  By the end of the training Cody and Oscar bonded and they are now buddies who sit on the couch next to each other.

The training encompassed many different aspects both for the human training and the dog training.  We trained at several different locations to get the dogs used to different areas and distractions to reinforce the training done at the house.  Gary was very responsive to our questions and was punctual for the appointment times.  We really appreciate his communication about how the training works and and what was needed on our part to ensure the dogs could get the most out of the training.  Thank you to Gary and All About Dogs, LLC. for his time and training it has made a positive difference in us and our relationship with the dogs.  We would highly recommend Gary and All About Dogs, LLC. for your training needs.

We couldn’t be happier with All About Dogs trining. Gary is the best!    We wanted a more comprehensive training offering indoor, outdoor and socialization skills.  Gary met all of our expectations. He was very patient with Mako and me.  He teaches safety techniques to keep you and the dog from getting hurt. He showed us our behavior affected the dogs reaction to different circumstances.  We started in the home, then outside to the park and places like Home Depot. He welcomes questions and offers his service after the program is over. Thank you for the exceptional service!  If you want to work with someone with a high level of knowledge and experience Gary is your guy!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are beyond grateful for the incredible transformation All About Dogs has brought to our 6-year-old Cane Corso. After working with four different trainers in the past, we had never experienced the kind of progress that Gary has achieved. Our dog didn’t just learn foundational skills—he now walks calmly even in highly stimulating environments, stops before exiting doors, exits the car politely, and can even walk off leash  if desired.

Our biggest concern, however, was preparing him for life with our first child. Thanks to All About Dogs, he developed the confidence, patience, and gentle nature needed to welcome our baby into the family. The training seamlessly carried over—he is now calm and protective around the baby and can even play safely with other small children. This was something we never thought possible, especially at his age.

Before All About Dogs, having small children around him was out of the question. Now, he not only thrives in their presence but also makes us feel at ease as his leaders. At six years old, he has grown more than we ever imagined, and it’s entirely thanks to Gary’s expertise and dedication.

No other trainer or organization has been able to accomplish what All About Dogs has done for our family, and we are truly thankful.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gary changed everything for my family, and it was for the better. I was 4 months in with a new dog in my house that my family took in after our neighbor moved and couldn’t keep their dog. I was at the end of my rope and determined to train this dog the basics and rehome him. I was convinced this dog was not a good fit for my family.

The first thing Gary said upon meeting our dog was, “this dog is really trainable.” While I was down for the ride, I was skeptical miles would graduate (at all or in 10weeks) and I was convinced that I would still be rehoming miles.

Though it took 8month for miles to graduate from Gary’s program, miles nonetheless graduated with a basic understanding of how to stay safe outdoors, interact with other dogs, and make better/smarter/safer choices. Much to my surprise, Miles is here to stay and I love this dog.

Gary’s friendly, simple, and intuitive approach to dogs and dog training, transformed my relationship with my dog and helped all of us, including Miles, better communicate and connect with each other.

The cost of this training along with the time and dedication necessary to go through this program is without a doubt worth it .

Though miles isn’t exactly the militant type, the most invaluable part for me is having the relationship I now have with my dog.

Do yourself a favor, and call Gary now.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were recommended to Gary by a family friend. They told us we HAD to call Gary after telling them we were looking at another training place. We have two dogs that are very close and feed off of each others every move. Gary trained them both at the same time which I thought would be a fairly difficult task, but Gary trained them seamlessly. Gary is responsive, passionate about his work, understanding, and very knowledgeable about dog training. His program is affordable and comprehensive and even after you’ve finished the program, he’s made himself available as needed for the life of the dog(s). I recommended Gary to four different people while using the program and would highly recommend to others.

I can't recommend All About Dogs, LLC enough!  Gary is patient, punctual, communicative, and incredibly knowledgeable about dogs.  It says dog training, but he really trained us!  We have a very reactive male 2 year old dog named James who wouldn't let people come in house or even near us without going after them. Gary was able to get him to a place where we can walk without a leash on a trail and even around the neighborhood with no problems!  Gary is great with kids as well!  Our 8 year old son joined in most of the sessions and Gary had him involved each time.  You won't be disappointed!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am very pleased with the results of working with Gary and my 1 yr old lab, Rosie. Before starting the program with Gary, Rosie was jumping on the couch, chewing the TV remote and didn’t respond to my commands. She is now behaving much better: knows commands, knows boundaries, does trail walking. Gary is very knowledgeable, professional and was patient with me and Rosie. I highly recommend his program. Rosie is a pleasure to have after completing the program. Thanks Gary!
