Training and Results
Bullys Behaven, a dog training program, has received overwhelmingly positive reviews from multiple customers. The majority of the reviews highlight the significant improvement in the dogs' behavior after training with Mike, the program's trainer. Dogs that were previously aggressive, unsocialized, or unconfident have shown remarkable progress, and owners have reported improved walks, reduced reactivity, and increased confidence in their dogs.
Before-and-After Success Stories
Several reviews share dramatic before-and-after stories. Emmy V.'s dog went from being aggressive and reactive to producing no problems on walks after training with Mike. Sara White's dog, Luke, transitioned from being timid and anxious to becoming more confident and socialized. Lendogz's dog, Sully, who was previously aggressive, now enjoys being around other dogs without reaction.
Customer Testimonials
Many customers have praised Mike's expertise, patience, and dedication to their dogs' well-being. Claire Mendez's review stands out, sharing how Mike's training has saved her dog's life, transforming him from a nervous and aggressive dog to a happy and well-adjusted pet.
One Negative Review
However, one reviewer, Arianna Sergi, expressed severe disappointment and frustration with her experience at Bullys Behaven. Her dog was sent home in a poor condition, with facial injuries and infections, and she felt that Mike was not present during his care. She strongly advises against sending dogs to this program.
