  When we adopted Koko out of a prison program, she was about to hit her threshold. She was reactive and lacked confidence, but I knew there was a sweet pup underneath!. So when Dori was recommended by a dear friend of mine, I decided to have her behavioral needs assessed. I saw the change immediately when Dori began to work with her. Initially, she had been apprehensive with males, e.g. growling and barking, but with Dori, she adapted quickly and was responsive to his training. After my observations, we made the decision to sign her up for a 3 week board and train, which just happened to work out because we needed to board her while we were out of the country. We received updates, she was groomed, and when we got back, she was following our commands with little issues. Since we have had her back, she has been super easygoing, especially when meeting other dogs and males. ( Meeting kids was never an issue. She loves children. ) I would recommend Dori Dog Training over and over again. And I know the initial costs may be a shock, but it is worth it knowing your dog will not bite or attack other dogs or people! That peace of mind is worth every penny! Thank you Dori!!

  I cannot speak highly enough about Dori and the work that he does. It takes someone truly special to care for and train dogs, especially ones like my dog Maverick. Mav had what we called "quirks". Everything we did had to be modified because Mav did not like new things, people, or situations. We actually got to the point where he had to limit house guests because we didn’t know how he was going to react. We couldn’t trust Maverick’s decision making. After one specific incident we knew we had to do something and get Mav some extra help! Every dog parent, I’m sure, is extremely apprehensive about sending their dog away for 6 weeks (I sure was!), but Dori made it seem like it was not a big deal at all. After meeting him I could tell he was going to care for Maverick just as I do. Dori treated Mav like his own. It made me so happy to see him out and about doing things in Lock Haven just as we would do as a family. Mav has been home for about a month now and our house is completely different. I never knew what having a calm dog was like until now. Every day Mav surprises me. The confidence Dori helped him gain has allowed him to learn to make better choices and see that not all new things are bad. Prior to Mav working with Dori I could barely take him on a quiet walk. We are now going on leash-less runs at a busy park and there is no more barking EVER! Like I said, I cannot say enough about this man! He is amazing at what he does! I would recommend him to anyone!

  I trusted my west German Shepherd with Dori dog training. He was there for a 3 week board and train session with them. 18 days into the training I received a call from them saying that he soiled his crate and he had a rash on his neck. I picked him up and took him to my vet. He had diarrhea because they had him all stressed out. He had sores all the way around his neck from a prong collar and a shock collar they were using on him. They were starving him. I know this because he lost 4lbs in the 18 days he was with them. They never gave him the heart worm medicine that I had left with them. These people are horrible they use fear and pain to make a dog comply. They don’t even deserve 1 star To reply to Shlomi’s response to my review. You say I was there on multiple occasions during his training. I was there once and I expressed concern about the nervous condition I noticed during a walk with him. As for the dozens of pictures and videos you have of him I only received a 10 sec and a15 second video of him and a couple of pictures during the whole training session. And for the “e collars” you can put whatever cute little name on them that you want. But the fact is they are Shock collars they are made to do 1 thing Shock dogs. I remember the 1 phone call I got from you in the first week. You mentioned about his barking. Your comment was “and that will stop”. It makes me wonder how many times you had to shock my dog before he was too afraid to bark. And his Inflammatory bowel disease he had no problem with it. It was under control. My vet will attest to that. My vet has examined him on multiple occasions in the last 6 months She agreed that as long as he ate right it would be no problem. The past few months with me he was gaining 1-2 lbs a week with no diarrhea and with you after 18 days he lost 4 lbs. I gave you tuna to feed him with his dry food with instruction to give him 2 cans per day 1 at each feeding. I gave you 48 cans and got 30 of them back. You only fed him 1 per day. You couldn’t even been bothered to give him his heart worm medicine. And I was never on the verge of giving him away. When I make a commitment to a dog it’s for life. I was trying to get him help i was willing to spend a lot of money to get him that help. I just made the mistake of coming to you
