I had a high energy, large dog with poor boundaries and bad habits when it comes to other dogs. Needless to say it got her in a lot of trouble. After finding StandProud, my dog is still high energy, but much better behaved around other dogs and less reactive. Ian and Brandon have changed my dog but also trained me. I really can’t say enough about the one on one training sessions or the group sessions that Stand Proud offers. There is nothing else like it in Reno. Thank you so much to the entire Stand Proud team.

Buddy has participated in their live in dog training, daily dog training and boarding and we have been extremely happy! He has improved significantly with the training and I never have to worry about the care he is in when he is boarded at Stand Proud. I would recommend them to anyone who needs dog training or boarding!

In every category of training, boarding, attention, follow-up, etc. I can't give less than 5 stars!. Austin was exceptional in handling/training my dog Luke - a 70 lb. 2 year old Lab. He came home a more well behaved dog. The follow-up by Stand Proud was something unexpected but certainly appreciated. The at home training was very helpful and the dog walk on Saturday was alot of fun. I plan to use their services in the future - and go on more dog walks with them!

If I could get 10 stars out of 5, I would. Stand Proud Dog Training are absolute miracle workers! They were so incredibly helpful and patient with our anxious and fearful dog, and because of them, our dog is a lot more trusting, much better with basic commands, a total star on walks, and much more. Plus, with the price you pay for board and train, you get unlimited access to their excellent pack walk programs and a TON of group classes that are awesome for continuing practice. Our dog LOVES the Stand Proud team, and so do we! Worth EVERY penny!

I cannot speak highly enough of Stand Proud, not just as trainers but as people. Our dog had general obedience down but was really struggling with some developing reactivity and separation anxiety. We utilized Stand Proud's board and train option, as well as continuing at-home lessons afterwards, and we have seen an INCREDIBLE difference in our dog's confidence, as well as in our own confidence in knowing how to help our dog be more comfortable. If you're scrolling through training groups around the Reno area, thinking your dog's struggles are too niche or too different to deal with, stop looking and reach out to Stand Proud. You will absolutely not regret it.

Rusty went in as a happy puppy with nowhere to direct his energy and came back even happier but also ready to live with me and my family. Danielle and her entire team answered calls and texts to keep me informed of progress. After the board and train they stayed in contact to help me with health questions and also support me with at home training. They even checked in via phone to learn about how Rusty was doing after some health issues. The private lessons that came after board and train made doing the homework easy and fun. Stand Proud will love and appreciate your dog almost as much as you do. The highest compliment I believe I can give is that I trust them with a member of my family. Their compassion, kindness and grace will always resonate with me as I continue to benefit from their additional services and support.

I’m very happy with the tools and guidance received for our dog whom we adopted as an adult puppy with a questionable past. She’s made a lot of improvements and I feel confident in my ability to continue helping her be her best self.

From the initial consultation with Stand Proud to finishing our dogs training was nothing short of amazing! Brandon was easy going and did not push any training that was not needed. He gave an honest evaluation of our dog and made it easy to go with private lessons.Danielle and Debbie did a great job communicating with us to get our dog scheduled and then followed up with us to ensure our satisfaction.Our dog trainer, Austin, was the best we have every had! We have had a few dogs over the years and we can honestly say he is the best. Austin set an environment rich in success and was there for our dog and us as owners. His training philosophies were spot on for our mini Aussie.Thanks to Stand Proud we now get compliments on our dogs behavior and not the "good luck with that one!"Thank you all at Stand Proud Dog Training for everything!

Stand Proud has done nothing but exceed my expectations. I chose to do a 2 week board and train program that revolutionized me and my furry friends world. Outside of the training, the Stand Proud Team has been extremely flexible and patient through the whole process and really allowed me to do it all at my own pace. From providing all the tools, training, take-home, to exceeding in customer care and really sticking to their values.Thank you to the Stand Proud Team, my puppy and I speak the same language!<3Pic for cuteness overload

We love the Stand Proud pack! We've been getting great results helping our Australian Cattle Dog mix, she needed correction we didn't know how to give. She would jump on visitors, had bad leash etiquette and would react wildly to other dogs. Even within the first session we received knowledge to use on a daily basis and the situation started improving immediately. Over a few months we worked on different behaviors and it's going so well! Training takes time and it's up to us to show our doggos how to behave; Stand Proud gives you the tools & insight to do that. We opted for at-home training and it worked out really well for us. Brandon, Danielle and Ian are all fantastic to work with and we are super happy with our investment, partnership and growing friendship! They converted our problem into our confidence :-) Very highly recommended.

We did the in-home private dog training and they were wonderful! Corgis can be stubborn so I was struggling with teaching certain commands for months and the trainers were able to get him to do it in 5 minutes. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend the Stand Proud Dog team. They’re incredible. My Aussie used to be so hyperactive, anxious, and disobedient and it’s because I didn’t have the proper tools to train her. Now my friends and people comment on how “chill” and well behaved she is, they usually say “especially for an Aussie”. I do 2-3 weeks of boarding (minimum) with Stand Proud every year and it has been the best investment in my dogs happiness. She can now even mountain bike with me in a really tight and strong heel.

What an incredible establishment and group of trainers. As an anxious mom of a 1 year old, I didn't want a puppy, but desperately wanted a dog. Danielle got back to me within 24 hours of my application. She had never met me, but she had Ian meet us in Carson to introduce Carl (a rescue) to my son to see if it was a good fit. It was!Carl went through the board and train quickly after we got him as he had no formal training prior and we needed tools for him and my son to coexist with confidence.Carl came home with a good base of knowledge, but the next few weeks of personal and group lessons he truly became the dog that we thought he could be.I am convinced if every business had a Danielle running it, it would be successful as she is painfully organized and prompt with responses.We have worked with Ian, Abby, Austin, and Brandon and they have all helped us with Carl in their own way.Thank you SO much Stand Proud! Bringing Carl into the family made us whole, but we could not have done it without you guys.

Professional, kind, well staffed, knowledgeable, thorough, easy scheduling, supporting a true family business, and the best service I’ve ever experienced in business. They’re so organized. Brandon (owner) and Danielle both have created a true experience for your dog. You will be so glad you spent the money. If you’re a dog owner, you should have your dog trained, period. And so, the best training is here at Stand Proud. They took such good care of our GSP and love him like we do. All in all, choosing Stand Proud was the best decision I’ve made for our 1 yr old puppy. I know what I’m doing now, and so does our pup. So pleased. They also have great value, comparatively. Their packages are helpful, and thought out in a way that helps everyone. Don’t hesitate here, they’re too notch trainers, for all types of breeds. Our dog is a bird dog (GSP) and they were a perfect fit for us.
