I want to say a “BIG THANKS” to Akin with ABC Training Kennels for giving us the knowledge and tools to use in handling our 8 month old puppy named Tyson. We adopted Tyson as a birthday gift from me to my husband Robert. Immediately I noticed they were having trouble bonding because Tyson was all over the place and chewing on everything, bullying our older dog and simply not listening. We just couldn’t get him to a good place to train him ourselves. We were at our wits end. We adopted Tyson as a birthday gift from me to my husband Robert.

We just couldn’t get him to a good place to train him ourselves. We were at our wits end. Robert wasn’t thrilled with him so I knew I needed a solution asap! I always felt like he would be a great companion for Robert who struggles with horrible debilitating back issues. It came to my mind that if we could get Tyson properly trained it would be a win - win situation. I started making phone calls and posting on FB asking about training recommendations. Akin came highly recommended and after I read the other reviews, I knew I had to call him right away. We were not disappointed! He has several training options available. We chose to have him boarded and trained outside our home. Tyson was being trained and under Akin’s keen eye. He was taught key words and good behaviors ~that with our support and continued usage, will last a lifetime! He also learned his name isn’t “NO Tyson”! We now have a well behaved and much loved puppy! I highly recommend this program to gain a healthy happy relationship with your dog. Thank you Akin!
