Dishonest, Unprofessional, Unskilled

Our dog went to Training Tracks total immersion boarding program twice (initially and then again when the owner realized the first experience failed) and still cannot walk on a leash or greet people politely (our two main goals). He is not an aggressive or anxious dog — just a lively and energetic pup. We reached out to our trainer and to the business owner many times for additional support and guidance (the immersion program supposedly comes with lifetime support). They have been difficult to schedule with (sometimes taking months to get on their calendar) and often don't respond to our communications unless prompted many times (even though their contract states they will respond in 24 hours). When we could get a hold of them, the guidance they offered was not always particularly useful (i.e. just don't let your dog meet anyone ever - this suggestion came from the owner). We have tried to work this out privately with the business owner, Jeff, and he blames us for not communicating, reaching out, or following up with training, which couldn't be further from the truth. I have text and email records that prove we've been engaged and have consistently asked for the support we were promised/paid for. Many times, they just wouldn't respond. The owner has recently acknowledged this, but offers no resolution. In the end, Jeff has tried to gaslight me and eventually called me aggressive for assertively asking for the training I paid for or for a refund so I can get my dog the training he needs and deserves. If you dig into their reviews across platforms, you will notice that this is a reoccurring issue with them. If they can't train a dog, they simply blame the owner and say the owner failed or stopped communicating, when in fact, it's them who stops helping and communicating. I would not recommend Training Tracks. Not only because their training skills are questionable, but because the owner is dishonest, disorganized, and unprofessional.

We had high hopes but are unhappy with the outcome

We took our dog to Training Tracks for their total immersion program. We didn't get the results we wanted the first time around so our pup went back for a second stay. It went much better but the training regressed after a couple months and we needed help again. Our trainer was unable to commit to helping us and the owner has refused to help. Jeff (the owner) goes days or weeks without responding and has now told us he is unwilling to move forward with a resolution. He has been very unprofessional and I would not recommend this company.

Cooper and I are sad that today is our last day of Growly Dog 🐶 I class. We have come so far as a team with Jeff's help! When we started, Cooper was barking and lunging at dogs 100 yards or more away. Now we can see dogs 5 or 10 yards away and he (and I) can keep it together. We can't wait to start Growly Dog II to take our training to the next level!

Very good and close to home.

Even though we are experienced dogs owners of many years, you can always learn something new or better ways to work with dogs. We plan to take the intermediate course in the future.

Training Tracks has been wonderful!

The winter of 2015 I took my boxer puppy Jimmy to the Puppy Headstart and Obedience 101 classes with Hannah who was very knowledgeable and patient. Unfortunately it was discovered that Jimmy had a major heart condition and heart breakingly he is no longer with us. So now we have boxer puppy Tommy! I took him to the Obedience 101 and 102 at Training Tracks. Elissa and Chelsea were wonderful! Tommy and I learned a lot! Elissa and Chelsea are both very knowledgeable and took the time, even after class, to answer all the questions that I had. I highly recommend Training Tracks!

Superb Training

We were so impressed and pleased with the training our young dog, Lucky, and we, as his owners, had. Mel teaches by example, kindness, compassion, and is very knowledgeable. We would recommend her and Training Tracks to everyone, no matter how trained or untrained your dog may be.

Highly recommend

I found out about Training Tracks from a neighbor who used them. She said she researched and interviewed a few trainers before deciding on Jeff and Mel. We began with puppy classes for our black lab puppy. He was already a lot to handle at a young age. We also have an Aussie lab mix who can be territorial. I'm sure between her bossiness and our lack of knowledge in how to train Bo contributed greatly to his out of control behavior. We were going out of town and had planned to let college girls keep him. I was concerned he would be too much for them to handle. Elissa had already let Jeff know about us so when we called for Board and Train, we were fortunate to have an opening. Bo came home from their house a completely different dog. He listened, obeyed and was completely manageable. It was great to have Jeff come to our home afterwards to reinforce what he had learned as well as help us fully grasp the training. He has even helped us train our older dog much of what Bo learned. I highly recommend their company. At a minimum, the group classes are a great way to get started as well as allow your dog to socialize with other dogs. Board and train is expensive but well worth it, especially if your dog is hard to handle.

Great focus, genuine caring

Our trainer was a gift from heaven. Our rambunctious Malinois was a lovable frustration for us but the one on one training was amazing. On time, came well prepared, listened to us and showed us more than one way to get this crazy pup to follow directions. We will continue to use Trainingtracks.

Great results!

Our dog learned a lot from his sessions at training tracks. They also taught us the tools we needed to be more effective pet parents!

Practical, helpful, honest!

Jeff has been so honest with us in the process of working with our young dog who experiences compulsive resource guarding. We are thankful for his patience with us and our dog! The intensive in home training experience has been worth every penny. We have seen lots of success and can't wait to keep working! Jeff has gone above and beyond to work with our veterinarian and consult with a behaviorist to make sure he is doing everything possible to ensure success!

I recommend Jeff and his Training Tracks team highly and without equivocation.

Jeff and his team are highly knowledgeable and compassionate. They helped us with our Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy who is now a sweet, calm and well-adjusted family member. We will be forever thankful for their assistance.

Learned so much!

My pup and I really enjoyed these classes. Especially having a smaller group for phase 2. My only minor dislike was not always receiving the homework in a timely manner.

Very happy!

The classes were fun and appropriately paced. I felt the information was delivered fast enough that we weren't bored but slow enough to be understood. There was plenty of time for questions as well.

Great experience

I really enjoyed working with Jeff and Mel. It's very easy to see their competence and love for the animals. I would work with them again in the future.
