All Breed Obedience & Behavioral - Woodbury, Minnesota

Would highly recommend the shy dog class here. Rebecca was very patient with my dog, who I thought was going to hide under my chair for all 6 weeks. Week 1, my dog was able to go out in the middle of the classroom to look for liverwurst as part of the exercise. She is terrified of new people, so I was very surprised she was able to do that.

We moved right into a Level 1 Semi-private obedience class, and my dog is rocking it with another one of their awesome instructors. The instructor was able to easily help us through a couple of places that were sticky for us. My dog is able to do all the exercises, including heeling around the big ring while the other teams are working. I'm very happy with the positive, patient training methods, and both instructors I've had there so far. The only thing I would add is that I wish we got a graduation certificate for shy dog class. It's fun to go back through all their accomplishments as they age to see how far they've come.

The best obedience place around! They have amazing trainers that are very helpful and thorough when you might have some struggles with part of the training. I have taken both my dogs past and current to All Breed and am signing up my new pup for sure! When it comes to my four-legged family members, I only want the best that’s why I go to a All Breed!

This dog school has gone to the dogs. I have trained two other dogs here and it was good back then but now I cannot recommend it at all. I had the owner Deb, for all of my classes. She is very disorganized and starts something, then sees a squirrel and moves on to something else. She has you purchase items to use in class and then seems to forget about it for the rest of the course. One week, she didn't feel well and went home and had another student in the class teach. Really, I am paying to be taught by a fellow student. She loves to waste time in class talking about her new dog. We all love to talk about our dogs but we are here to learn. One class we showed up for, Deb had screwed up the schedule and there was no one there. Ten of us had driven over there and stood in the parking lot wondering what was going on. Deb is also cramming as many dogs into a class as she can. Class never starts on time. She will wait for everyone even if they are 10 minutes late which is rude to the rest of us who show up on time. I think it is time for her to retire.

All Breeds is the Best Obedience School that I have used; and I've been to a few. Dogs are trained for Obedience first. After completing the first two levels of obedience you are then able to try your hand at other things. If you are interested in showing they will definitely accommodate you as Deb is a Certified Judge. The instructors are great and classes are fun and educational.
I recommend Deb and her Team to everyone.

This was exactly the training I was looking for for my 1.5 year old shihtzu. Nice class size in obedience 1, the instructors were kind and helpful, training was positive reward based and relaxed, no pressure, All the dogs in class were playful and sweet and well loved by their owners.

I would give zero stars if I could. I was completely stunned of mine and my boyfriend’s horrible experience with the owner. The entire private session the owner was condescending and passive aggressive, saying comments in the form of a joke but it was clear what she was actually saying about how I handled things in session and they were not funny.
I could not do an exercise simply because of my footwear and I was explaining how I was unable to grip the leash with my shoe. The owner said and I quote “see, once you stop all your whining you can do the exercise.” No way was I whining and that is not only rude but humiliating when we are still learning about our dog. Another example in our private session, she kept pestering us about not taking notes when we we clearly stated we were fine without taking notes; she also made it clear she disapproved we weren’t doing as she suggested rather than respecting how we want to approach our learning. Both me and my boyfriend were beyond uncomfortable and definitely will not be going back here simply because too many passive criticisms were said to me behind the smile. I wanted to leave crying because I felt more judged than validated with our rescue. Unfortunate experience.

This is a very professional and well run school. I had my 2 yo dog at another school and they couldn't get her to do a 'stand'. After 1 try at All Breed she was doing a stand. The classes are well run and the instructors really know what they are doing. If you want to get your dog ready for some competition or just get them to be more well behaved, All Breed can help. When you want something more advanced, All Breed can help. They take a no nonsense approach to obedience training. I also believe they do agility and therapy dog training.

Tried All Breed Out, since it is highly recommended. Just didn't work for us, though I don't doubt that others got more out of it. For me the biggest turn off was on the first day, the instructor passed out water spray bottles to all owners with barking dogs to get them to stop. That is not positive reinforcement training in my book. My other minor issue was the down time or long pauses during lessons where the dogs are not actively learning anything new, although that might be more of an issue with the large class size. Some of the dogs seemed to get bored/restless. For the price of the lessons I was thinking we would be learning more.

Some of the positives: advocating gentle leaders and practicing having your dog listen to you in a safe environment outside the house.
