Based on your training methods or the methods of your trainers you should not be in this business. You can blame an ex employee (Carrie Taylor) for the video but as the owners you should have known what was going on in the training room. And then to have people in the room laughing at some crude and obviously psychopathic trainer getting joy out of beating a dog into submission. Sorry, I am a criminal psychologist and this women has personal issues. Not to mention I have trained bloodhounds, cattle dogs and bird dogs and these methods should be no different than a child. Dogs have cognition and this is wrong and criminal in my eyes.

The worst. DO NOT take an animal here. Ever. Please do your research. They use abusive "training" techniques involving bats.

If by "training" your dog you'd like multiple employees to laugh and talk positively about beating your dog as the main "trainer" savagely beats your fur baby to the point of yelping and cowering. The owner said they reassigned those involved, meaning still employeed there- so protect your animals from THESE animals.

There is video and picture proof of these PEOPLE BEATING A DOG WITH A BAT INTO SUBMISSION. there is also proof of them leaving tons of pee and poop in their kennels, maggots etc. The woman who beat the dog-there's a special place with satan himself for you.

I think this is beyond disgusting. The photos and videos are on the internet. You will never be able to escape the trauma and abuse you have put these animals through. Lying to people and profiting off lies and cruelty. Why would I pay money to hurt my fur babies who I spend $$$ so they are happy and healthy. If you want your animals ruined go see the animals butchers at Academy of Canine behavior.

There is a recent video of a woman literally hitting a dog in the face with a bat until he is screeching and cowering and trying to get away, and then she continues to walk the dog on the lead. Sorry, but I’m NOT OKAY with this company who is using fear to beat dogs into submission. That is not a foundation for a happy life, that is a life based on fear. NO.

If I could give zero stars I would. The world of dog training is completely unregulated and disgusting human beings like this can call themselves trainers. You haven't the first clue on dog behavior or how to train. All you do is bully and instill fear. That is not a happy healthy dog willing to work. That is a dog fearing for it's life and heaven forbid he defend himself. To the woman laughing while videoing, talking about how she would have "wailed on him," you're a sorry excuse for a human as well. One day you'll get yours. Karma has a long shelf life. Hope you enjoy you're couple minutes of "fame." You are on your way to being out of business and if the world is lucky, in jail for animal abuse.

The 'trainers' here beat dogs into submission with bats, even when the dog is running away and cowering. I would NEVER recommend this place. Think of your dog and if you'd want them subject to that kind of cruelty

You guys are an amazing company and have a magnificent Facebook video of ya'll "training" your animals. You see there's this caring video of someone "training" a beautiful dog that is being abused and is terrified out of its mind.

The positive comments are 100% sarcastic if anyone doesn't understand sarcasm. I will be reporting this and I will be checking and doing screenshots of the ratings to prove what others are saying about deleting comments.

I honestly hope you guys go out of business and the "trainer" needs to worry about and train her own weight instead of abusing an animal. She has no business even being near animals. For everyone laughing and being unprofessional, ya'll can get trained in professionalism and manners. You should be disgusted with yourselves and fired IMMEDIATELY!

AND TAKE OFF THAT HAWKS SHIRT, YOU'RE A DISGRACE! WHOEVER'S THE OWNER OF THAT DOG PLEASE BEAT HER LIKE SHE'S BEATING YOUR DOG WITH THAT BAT! LET'S ALL CONTINUE TO MAKE THIS VIDEO GO VIRAL 49K SO FAR!!!!!!

They abuse the dogs! There are videos and picture of everywhere! Google it, go on facebook! I'm a dog trainer and no animal should ever be beaten! They are instilling fear and aggression in these animals which will cause long term mental issues and increase the likelihood of them attacking someone. This is atrocious! These are animal abusers. It's sickening and I feel for all of the animals who have been there but I hope they get shut down and every single person in that room is banned from owning or training a dog. I causing the one with the bat who breeds dogs... she probably beats every single one of those puppies before she sends them home. Complaints to the association she breeds with have been made along with the video being sent.

There’s a video of one of your trainers beating a dog with a bat on Facebook and others are laughing. You should be arrested and not allowed to be in the presence of any animals after this gross display.

This is what to expect from this place. It’s awful to see what they do. Don’t bring your pets here. Not how training should be done at all.

We are so impressed with the ACB. We took our dog who had many problems... including extreme reactivity to other dogs. We could not even take him for a walk. We decided to enroll him in the 5 week board and training. We have a totally new dog. First we learned we were the problem not our dog. Second we learned what to do and how to relate to our dog. We cannot say enough...it has been transformational for us as a family. Best money we ever spent. I realize now all dog owners have the responsibility to seek training. All i can say is thank you to ACB.
