What Reviews Say

124 reviews analyzed

Traction Dog Training Club receives overwhelmingly positive reviews (122 of 124 are 5-star) with clients praising transformative results for dogs with reactivity, aggression, and obedience issues. The team of trainers (especially Eric, Tina, Mara, and Will) is described as knowledgeable, patient, and effective. Two 1-star reviews exist: one for a trainer no-show issue and another for a defensive response to a dog bite incident. The owner responds to nearly all reviews with professional, warm, personalized messages. While the training quality is exceptional, there are minor concerns about trainer reliability (isolated incident) and one safety-related incident that received a defensive response rather than empathy.

Worth noting

Dog bite incident on facility property involving member of public

“Some friends and I were on a bike ride and going to a public seating area. When I approached the area on bike, an off-leash dog charged at me, bit my leg and foot and drew blood.”

Trainer no-show for scheduled appointments

“The trainer (Tina) didn't show up, call, or text at the scheduled appointment time. I was never offered a new trainer as it seems that Tina is not reliable.”

Trainer reliability and communication

“The trainer (Tina) didn't show up, call, or text at the scheduled appointment time. You have let me down 3 times now-3 strikes, you're OUT.”

Facility safety concerns

“This is the last outfit I'd want to help me control my dog, and their lazy setup next to a crowded seating area at a popular bar is the height of irresponsibility.”
