Athens Dog Training

Pohan is a knowledgeable, confident, and patient trainer! She was very highly recommended and proved to have been underrated! She worked with my dog Xavi and with me to help him adjust to his new home and get over his initial shyness. I will definitely continue working with her to train me and my dog!

I can’t say enough great things about Pohan. My rescue dog had so many behavioral issues and I was completely overwhelmed. I had tried another trainer recommended by my vet and my dog did not get along with him at all. Then I contacted Athens for private lessons with Pohan. My dog has had significant improvement in a relatively short time. I am no longer overwhelmed and everything is much more manageable now. Just in general Pohan is amazing. Absolutely great with my dog (and is now one of my dog’s favorite people) and very patient and personable. She does a great job going over techniques and explaining the why of things. It really helped me understand and connect with my dog. I’d give 10 stars if I could.

Danny did an amazing job with our newly rescued 6 month old cattle dog mix. We learned so much and now have a strategy and the right expectations on how to get our girl settled and on the right track. Danny brought so much experience and used common sense positive reinforcement which we believe we can do. Watching our dog Emmy learn in the hour with Danny gave us hope that we will not only get through this, but have an incredible family dog!

Mitch and Patrick are amazing! We had 5 home sessions with our two Havanese dogs. We worked on training them to be better at greeting people and on how to get them to not make at the door when the doorbell goes off. We also worked on walking and now they don’t pull! So nice to be able to go on a walk without being pulled. We then did dog greeting and reactivity and got a lot of tips on what to do to help the dogs feel more comfortable. Mitch and Patrick really went above and beyond to help us!

Mitch and Patrick are amazing! I never knew my dog is so smart. My four-year-old chihuahua mix has many issues with walking, strangers and other dogs. We had five classes with Mitch and Patrick. They taught us reward training systematically. Now she knows a lot of tricks, she’s great at walking, and getting better with strangers. I brought her to my office after the training, and people love her. We’ll continue with Mitch for her trainings with other dogs. I’m confident she’ll make a dog friend someday.
