Great trainer! Our German Shepherd took the one-week boot camp. Although we understand that this was a short period to change and incorporate behaviors, we felt great progress. Also, the included visits were very useful, since we also were trained on how to maintain what has been learned.

I contacted Darrel at Attention Dog Training, because my Milly needed to be trained to ignore other dogs and also people. She loves people! She also needed to be trained to heel and not pull on the leash. She is my service dog for ( medical alert). She is amazing at what she's supposed to do but she is a bit too friendly with other people and dogs. The hospital where we go, told us we need to train her to be a therapy dog to visit people in the hospital because she is so sweet with people. Darrel was amazing! In just 4 sessions, Milly has learned to stay by my side, not pull, not whine or bark at other dogs and not be so friendly with people when we walk by. It is so wonderful to go in the stores and have her stay by my side even when the lease is loose or if I drop it! I can't get over it! Thank you so much Attention Dog Training ?

Sent my labrador to Darrel for 2 week bootcamp training. Cannot express how pleased I am in the first few hours of having him back. Sit, Lay, Come commands were almost automatic. Darrel was very informative during the consult and using his program was a no brainer. Loved getting video updates of the progress they were making together. I'd give 10 stars if I could.

Attention Dog Training did a great job with my aggressive and reactive German Shepherd! She spent 3 weeks in boot camp and I am so impressed with how well she is doing and how much she has changed. She no longer has issues with aggression towards other dogs and is responding well to commands. We are both so much happier and can not thank this company enough for their help!

I have a 15 month old German Shepherd who weighs around 90lbs. My dog would refuse to get in any vehicle and was just hard to control. I'm a petite woman and I definitely needed some help. I called Darrel and he did his initial evaluation. I chose the 4 week option at my home and the difference is like night and day. Week 2 my puppy was hopping in the truck without assistance! Week 4 we were training that not every open car door is an invitation to jump in. I can walk him around the neighborhood with no problem. I can control the unprovoked barking with a simple "come" or "sit" command. This experience was so much more than just paying for training. I have a better balanced dog. He's happier and I'm happier. Maybe this year he can stay inside for Thanksgiving. Fingers crossed ? HUGE thank you to Darrel. Keep doing what you're doing.

My husband and I just completed the 4 session dog collar training course and it was outstanding. Darrel was extremely helpful with our aggressive and stubborn German Shepherd. We highly recommend Attention Dog Training to anyone who has any issues with their dog!! Thanks so much!!

Darryl was excellent in one on one training with our little Maltese mix rescue! He trained us well, too! We're continuing with classes to refine things a little. Highly recommend Attention Dog Training!

I just adopted a 14 month dog at a shelter and I was in need of some training for him. I did some research across various platforms to find the best trainer for my dog, Oakland. Attention Dog Training was the business that caught my eye based on the reviews, programs, and the in-home training portion. I contacted the business and Darryl replied soon after to setup a consultation in my home about what he offers at no charge. The consultation was about an hour long at my home. Darryl explained to me the programs, how the training works, prices, and he showed me some tricks with Oakland first hand. He also brought along his dog, Cosmo, to show how trained he is. I was so impressed with how Cosmo was performing. I was sold and did the 4 week private lesson plan for Oakland. Darryl arrived to my house at the appointment time and worked with us on training. He took his time with Oakland u0026 I in all the training procedures every week. I practiced what I was taught in each lesson with Oakland. After the first week I saw huge improvement. He can now enter the kennel with no fuss, stays calm, follows my commands, behaves around other people and animals, does not destroy anything in the house, does not jump on people, and he listens to me very well. I learned a lot from Darryl about dogs, proper training, and the best options for my dog. I highly recommend Attention Dog Training for the best service and convenience of training at home in private lessons. I also purchased the training collar as well that Darryl recommend. I highly recommend purchasing the collar for effective training on the dog. I plan on attending the classes program in the near future once the lock down in Florida is over. Thank you again Darryl for all that you have done for us in training. Oakland is doing extremely well now days. I'll see ya in the near future.

Darrel is an amazing dog trainer or maybe I should say people trainer. Your dog already has the skills Darrel just teaches you how to unlock them. My dog is almost completely deaf and suffers from separation anxiety. After 6 weeks with Darrel, our dog is calm, has stop barking at everything that crosses his line of sight and after over a year of sleeping in our bed my husband and I were finally able to move our fur baby back to his crate at night.

Great in home consultation. We couldn't believe our eyes, Darryl's demonstration of dog training was excellent.

I have 2 strong pit bulls that I adore but didn’t know how to keep them under control, especially when they got excited or distracted. Not only did this training show me how to keep them under control but it taught me how to have fun with my dogs while channeling their energy into WANTING to listen to commands. It didn’t brake my dogs it gave them structure and confidence! My husband and I are expecting, so my concern was being able to handle them alone; being able to take them on a walk without pulling or going to a coffee shop without struggle is a miracle!! 10/10!!

I have been working with Darell for 6 months and he has been great . My wife made me get a dog trainer because my 7 year old dog would be aggressive towards her. I always thought that you can't teach old dogs new tricks , but But with Darell's help we did !

Absolutely amazing trainer. He's the dog whisperer of Clermont. My dog learned the basics on same training day. My dog (Fred) will be continuing training with Darrel.

My first dog training session was tonight with my 4 month old German Sheppard. Darrel really did a job getting us started. Looking forward to him coming back. My pup really responded well to his training and has given us some valuable blocks to build upon. In one training session we could see our pup not trying to run out the door and staying in her place. We could see a Big difference. If you are thinking about training your pup don't hesitate you will be in good hands.
