Hi Bob,
I just wanted to thank you for your help with "Skip", my 2 year, old, neutered male Border Collie. I was a bit nervous, when I adopted him from my father 2 months ago, because he was starting to show some aggression to certain people. He had always been good with me, but I couldn't be worried about him biting someone that came to my house. I needed some help and I had heard good things about you and All-American K-9. Now I can say from my own personal experience, that I am so glad that I took my dog to you for training. I can't thank you enough!! Skip is like a different dog. I even noticed a big change in him after the first session. Now I can have him off the leash and not worry about him running off. He listens to me and comes when he is called. He is even getting better with people. It surprizes me everyday with how good a dog he has become, thanks to you. I would not hesitate to reco mmend you to friends and clients with problem dogs that need some help.
Thanks again,
Cathy Caffarella & Skip
The training and support given by Bob at the All-American K-9 met and exceeded our expectations for training our dog! We rescued our 3 year old male Boxer from an animal shelter from Danbury, CT when he was 1 year old. His old owner owned a garage and had Dillon guard it; eventually he was taken away because he kept him outdoors and refused to keep him inside. We started noticing aggressive tendencies from the first day Dillon came to live with us. After the rescue, I enrolled him at an obedience school in Taunton. During our first obedience class the trainer had the dog and I walk through a line of dogs also enrolled in the class. After noticing he was uncontrollable, she took him and he bit her (the trainer). We were told that he could not be trained there because of his aggression issues (the very reason we TOOK him there!). We lost the money we had already paid for the courses and were back at square one! For the next year we tried to isolate Dillon from potential triggers i.e. other dogs and people. It was very disheartening and upsetting to be told, by not only friends, but family as well, that Dillon was not welcome at their homes. Although we did our very best to keep him away from anything that could "set him off" he would always find ways to run off and attack dogs walking in front of the house or when taking him for walks he would do his best to get loose and attack joggers etc. After several encounters with a pit-bull, two boxers and a black lab we were at a loss on how to help him control his aggression. The problem escalated when he turned more people aggressive and when we had company over; he would be very unpredictable and lash out with no antecedents. We knew giving Dillon up was not a choice as he was a great family dog and was loyal and sweet to our immediate family and close friends. Our greatest fear would be that one day Dillon would attack and seriously hurt someone or their pet. Then we decided to visit with Bob at the All-American K9 Training Academy. He met with us at his facility, where we discussed our issues, concerns, and goals for our dog. At first we were a bit skeptical that there was any hope for getting Dillon to behave. However, it was Bob's positive, confident, encouraging manner that made us feel like there was light at the end of the tunnel. We enrolled Dillon in the off leash program and after the first class we had regained control over our dog and established ourselves as our dog's leader! With consistent practice he built up his training and by the end of the third class we were able to have complete control of our once unpredictable, aggressive dog! Not only does Dillon respect us more now, he looks to us to know what is acceptable behavior and what is not. His improvement, in this short amount of time, is astounding! Just yesterday at the vet I was able to keep complete control over my 70lb. Boxer while the waiting room was brimming with dogs and their owners. I was able to have him sit by my side, exhibiting no behaviors, and waiting ever so patiently. The vet was amazed with the transformation from "Kujo", as she used to call him, to this obedient, attentive, well-trained dog. I even recommended Bob's services to a couple that came in with an uncontrollable German Shepard who was dog aggressive. Hopefully, they will follow through and enroll him in All-American K-9! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping Dillon become the good boy we always knew he could be! We will undoubtedly refer the services of All-American K-9 to everyone we encounter with any behavioral issues with their pets!

I Just got back from another enjoyable and stress free walk with my 5 year old American pit bull. Before taking the off leash course at
All-American K-9 , my dog was awful on walks, pulling and sniffing, and very dog aggressive. I had taken him to three other trainers including a six week overnight training that accomplished very little and all three were a complete waste of money. After the course at
All-American K-9 , I didn't even have to use the remote collar, all I use is his everyday leather collar, no harness, no muzzle. I can't believe the change in this dog. I am buying a new puppy in August and will be bringing her to
All-American K-9 for her training.
Thank You,

If you don't have time to do a job right, then surely there's not enough time to do it wrong. Bob does training right! Once frustrating problems like jumping up on people, the counter, shredding mail, newspapers or tearing your clothes while playing are issues in our past. Tikaani, our husky, is just as playful, curious and confidant as before training with Bob at the Doggie Boot Camp but now he's also very well behaved and a loved member of our family. Walking with or without a leash anywhere is no longer a problem. Playing with him in an unfenced yard without the fear of him running off is not just a possibility but a daily treat for both of us. Friends are amazed at how well behaved such a young dog (just seven months old) can be both at home, or away. Would I recommend All-AmericanK-9 ABSOLUTELY!

My Family and I are EXTREMELY pleased with how well our yellow lab responded to your method of training. Your business was recommended by a co-worker who knew I was having behavioral problems with my dog. We had spent NUMEROUS hours and dollars trying the clicker training method with no prevail. Your off leash training program was well worth the time, effort, and money! Our Yellow Lab no longer jumps on guests or digs holes which were a major concern for me and my family. She is now a welcome and enjoyable part of our family. We would gladly recommend your services to anyone who is interested!
Sincerely,

We cannot thank you enough for what you did for our family. I wanted to give up on my 2 Dobermans more than once. We had been to other trainers; 2 in fact, and we just weren't impressed and our dogs did not take the training serious.Even after lesson # 1, they "get it"! The dogs are "good girls" and they obey! They walk without dragging us and do not chase squirrels any longer. Our dogs are now focused! Thank you for all you have done for our family, and we ALL enjoyed the training!
God Bless

Our family adopted a 10 month old French Mastiff. His prior owner kept him on a leash most of the day so when he came to our home he needed to be taught how to behave properly. Our major concerns with him were running away from us when called, barking, urinating in the house, jumping up on the counters when food was out and just basically not listening. The remote collar training has worked fabulously on Bruschi's behavior problems. 100% of our issues have been fixed with our dog. Bob is so incredibly knowledgeable about dog training as well as proper nutritional care for dogs - my husband and I have learned so much. We both have total control over Bruschi now and we feel comfortable taking him to public places on or off leash. The dog seems more confident now because we have a common understanding and he knows what is expected of him. Overall, I am very happy with my decision to use
All-American K-9 for my dogs needs - I would definitely recommend their services to anyone!
Dear Bob,
Thank you so much for your continued support in Ollies training. There was a "night and day" change in Ollie's behavior after our brief refresher course together! We have already began enjoying long city walks together, thanks to you! I will continue to tell people about your amazing work and I know people notice simply walking down the street with Ollie!
Thanks again!

The Remote collar training was easy and fast. I was skeptical at first, and not sure that it was the right training for a pet. Now, I would recommend it to anyone who has tried another method and is not getting the results he or she wants or needs. Thank you for your practical explanations and relaxed coaching. Our eight month old Boxer still gets very excited about visitors and other dogs, but now we don't have to worry about her jumping up on them. She also responds to our commands immediately and consistently, instead of just most of the time. Now that I can trust her, I think she might be ready for driving lessons.... What do you think?
