We had an amazing experience with Dakota at Unleashed Fido! He helped us and our pup learn so much. We dropped off a wild puppy and got a nice gentleman pup back! Thank you Dakota!

Dakota from Unleash Fido is incredible. He treated my pooch like family. He was so patient when it was my turn to learn. Every question was answered. The facility is clean and very well kept. 10/10 would use this place again.

We cannot sing enough praises for the incredible team at Unleash Fido, especially Brittni. Our one-year-old golden retriever was a bundle of energy and mischief before we brought him to them. He was acting like a rowdy teenage boy, constantly biting, unruly on walks, jumping and counter surfing. The four-week board and train program worked wonders.Our pup returned to us still the same loving dog but now equipped with the ability to follow commands, stay on his place, and enjoy peaceful walks. He's become more attentive and well-behaved, yet his loving nature remains intact. The support provided by the team didn't end with the training; they continue to guide us on our training journey.During our follow-up visit, it was heartwarming to see how excited our pup was to be back at the facility, clearly happy to see all the trainers. Unleash Fido has truly transformed our dog's behavior while keeping his joyful spirit intact. We couldn't be happier with the results, and we're committed to maintaining the foundation they've provided. Thank you, Brittni and Unleash Fido, for making our furry friend a better-behaved and happier dog.

we've taken our puppy Clyde to Unleash Fido for training and really enjoyed it. Dakota has been Clyde's trainer for a five week session. Dakota is a terrific trainer and really helped Clyde with placing, walking, coming, and ignoring other dogs. Dakota always had a great sense of humor with Clyde which was really tough at times because Clyde barks lot and has lots of high strung puppy energy. you can't go wrong with Unleash Fido and Dakota.

INCREDIBLY WORTH IT!Macayla Ward—Lead Trainer at Unleash Fido—is exceptionally talented and the most impressive Advanced Obedience Trainer in Jacksonville.Skyler spent 4-weeks at Unleash Fido at 6 months old and I am blown away with how well-behaved he is now. Macayla was cognizant of every detail along the way to ensure he was very well taken care of and the communication was outstanding. Her demeanor is perfect and Sky absolutely loved her! I can tell he had a wonderful time and was very responsive to her affectionate yet effective behavior modification style.What she was able to accomplish in just one month was masterly and now I can enjoy building on her foundation each day instead of getting frustrated trying to make him a perfect gentleman. Sometimes it's best to leave it to the professionals.He no longer jumps on people, waits until I open the door first, is much calmer, focuses more on me than other dogs and distractions, walks like a dream, respectfully stays in place for however long I would like, and is very quick to respond to commands.It's hard to be away from your pup for 4-weeks, but their protocol works for a reason and the rewards can last a lifetime.

We sent our puppy Chloe to their puppy training program and couldn’t be happier that we did. She went to Unleash Fido as a little Tasmanian devil, biting my hands and shoes, not listening and not walking on her leash if she wasn’t in the mood. We got back an angel! Macayla is like a dog whisperer. She knew exactly what Chloe would respond to and how to get her to be an obedient little lady and Chloe enjoys doing so.

I truly don’t even know where to start… first off, I would rate 10 stars if it was possible. Second, Macayla is phenomenal with dogs of any breed. I had certain professional and logical expectations as me and my family considered placing our two dogs in this training. We have a four year old mini dachshund (Copper) that needed severe help with confidence and our 5 month old AussieDoodle (Maverick) who needed basic puppy training. Unleash Fido exceeded my expectations above and beyond!! Macayla was knowledgeable, caring and professional every step of the way, she was happy to answer any of my dozens of questions so kindly. Me and my family knew this would be an investment in many different ways but we were committed to be realistic with our expectations and to the consistency of work you need to do after training. Maverick and Copper are such happier dogs now with purpose knowing their job is to obey. We are definitely reaping the rewards of the training Unleash Fido created and helped launched our dogs into amazing pets!! We are SO thankful and we would do it all over again. WORTH EVERY PENNY and ALL the time we invested. We were thrilled to have found such a professional and caring business to leave our precious fur babies with. My two dogs will continue follow up sessions and I’ll only board my dogs there because of the attention and care they received while they stayed during their training. Nicely done Unleash Fido and a huge applause to Macayla!! We are one happy well behaved dog family and love that we enjoy our dogs ALL the time.

Upon calling Unleash Fido we were immediately impressed with their professional and positive attitude. We explained our situation and they promptly got us in for a consultation that same day. After our consultation with Macayla we knew our dogs would be in great hands and they both were off to boarding that week.Willow is a beautiful, energetic 2 year old Australian Shepherd that we got shortly before our lives got crazy. Anyone who’s been in the same boat could tell you that a working dog with no job can be a handful. Because of this, and learning some bad habits from our older dog (see the review already posted about Clover), we were in definite need of some behavior modification. I’m pleased to say that Willow also graduated Unleash Fido’s behavior modification board & train program and we couldn’t be happier. I would highly recommend working with Macayla. She has such a natural way with dogs, and has played an instrumental role in both our dogs’ newfound confidence, as well as our own. Our family will forever be grateful for all of her continued support and guidance.

Macayla did an amazing job training our reactive dog, Cali. We got her from the Safe Luv Animal shelter 6 months ago and really struggled with her obedience, reactivity and walking habits.I really wanted to thank you for your patience and time you spent with her! I so appreciate every minute of it. Money well spent and worth it! Thank you so much again for everything, will always choose you guys. She really has changed so much, especially with her obedience and reactivity. Cali appreciates you so much always ??

I adopted a 4 year old dog that had a laundry list of bad behaviors before coming to Unleash Fido. Zeus is a completely different dog after his 4 week training. He walks perfectly on a leash, doesn’t run out the door before me, and is much more open to meeting strangers.Dakota did an amazing job training Zeus and keeping me updated during his training. He’s been super helpful in our follow up lessons and is overall great to work with! It’s still hard to believe how much Zeus has improved after his training, and I’m so glad I brought him to Unleash Fido!

I cannot give Unleashed Fido enough praise for the training they did with my Aurora! She is a completely different dog! Before the advanced boot camp, my dog was restless and a real puller on the leash; I've even been injured before due to her antics! However, once Dakota took Aurora under his wing her behavior changed for the better. She is beyond content due to the mental stimulation from training and her behavior while on the leash has vastly improved! Even more important to me was the obvious bond that formed between Dakota and Aurora; he was so gentle with her and truly cared about her success in the program. If you have any behavioral issues with your dog, please take them to Unleash Fido!

We’re working with Makayla and the experience has been wonderful. Charlie has made leaps and bounds from the day I rescued her. She had no socialization nor taught how to walk on a leash, not bolt through a doorway and I could go on and on. Going here has done her and I so much good!They really care about your babies so I highly recommend Unleash Fido.They were the only dog training facility I found with 5 stars that’s why I chose them and I highly recommend them!They get ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me as well.

Dakota is the best! My 4 year old Jack Russell was having behavioral issues and after his 4 week training he is a new dog. It has helped my relationship with my dog tremendously. Could not recommend Unleash Fido more!
