Perfect Manners Dog Training is not the place to go if you have aggressive behavior issues with your dog. I can not speak for its obedience training as my dog has already been through obedience training and is awesome at following my direction. \r

My dog was rescue and has aggressive tendencies with strangers. Over the years I have had numerous trainers help me and his behavior is getting better. I continue to bring in different trainers to 1) get new ideas and refresh my own behavior, and 2) to socialize my dog with new people that are familiar with how to act around dogs. Locally, I have gone to Narnia and have had Bark Busters come with different trainers helping my dog. As far as Behavior issues are concerned Perfect Manners were the worst of all the trainers I have had. \r

I called Perfect Manners because the website looked very promising. When the trainer came to visit, the first action was up-selling me to a package of 4 visits. I only had used 3 before deciding the forth would just be a waste of my time. At first it seemed like they knew what they were doing. That is until my dog exhibited the behavior in which I wanted them to address. At that point the trainer was in way over her head. The next visit was not the same trainer but rather someone new which started all over from the beginning. On the third visit they were rude and mean to my dog and only wanted to take him on a walk. It was a total waste of money.\r

I am not one to write reviews online. Narnia was great for reward based obedience training and I will always recommend them for that. Behavior issues there were just OK as it was still all reward based. Bark Busters works off a dominance and alpha dog basis like Dog Whisper does and my dog really responded well to them. They really cared and not afraid to take on any issues we had. Unfortunately, Perfect Manners was a disappointment. What they brought to the table was nothing new and worst off they did not really care. Like I said I still have my forth visit and they have not even called me to schedule an appointment. They took my money and that was all they seemed concerned with.\r

I have always had dogs and have had a lot of training experience both behavior and obedience. I can not recommend Perfect Manners to anyone looking to help behavior issues. I hope this helps you find a great match for your dog and your needs. \r
