Customer Reviews
Dexter has an amazing time at Unleashed Solutions and never wants to leave! The staff takes such detailed and thoughtful care of our dog, and it’s clear he has a wonderful time whenever he goes for boarding or daycare. - March 2026
- Serena OZeppelin had his best first day ever!! My family is relieved to see he’s having fun with new friends after the passing of our other pup/in preparation of his boarding stay in 2 weeks. Always bring your pups to Unleashed!
- Belle BA place I can trust! Unleashed dog solutions is simply a place I can trust for my Dog Callie. That trust is built on the communication, care and incredible service that they provide. I had previously had a bad experience with a kennel but the moment I entered I knew things were different. They are a great group of people who clearly love my Callie when I can’t be around. They know all her tricks and work with her. With all the photos I receive and see posted it’s clear Callie is living her best life. She can’t wait to go and when she comes home she is a happy dog and exhausted in the best way possible. Knowing a member of your family is well cared for gives you peace of mind. At unleashed I know Callie is in a place that I trust where she can thrive.
- James BCheryl was amazing to work with. She listened to our concerns and behaviors that my dog Emma needed help with changing. Her deep knowledge and experience was witness along with her kindness. I have seen such an improvement with my dog and most importantly understanding what I needed to do in order to support my dog. Highly recommend her you will see the difference.
- Nancy HI have a 2 yr old boxer that’s a wild child. although Bubbles is very smart he can be very stubborn. It’s impossible to have company due to his bad manners jumping on people and flying to the door the minute the bell rings. We have to kennel him when having company. It’s Beyond stressful. After one session with Sheryl I have already seen great results. She is amazing at what she does. My dog in 1 hour is a different dog. Bubbles is on his way to becoming the dog we always knew he could be. We Look forward to working with Sheryl she’s amazing.

Recommended Certifications for Dog Trainers
When choosing a dog trainer, professional certifications are a strong indicator of expertise, experience, and commitment to ethical, science-based methods. Widely recognized credentials include the CPDT-KA or CPDT-KSA from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, which demonstrate mastery of modern training techniques, canine behavior, and learning theory. The KPA-CTP (Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner) highlights trainers skilled in positive reinforcement and clicker training, while the IAABC Certified Dog Trainer credential, recognized internationally, signals advanced knowledge in behavior modification and problem-solving. Membership or certification through the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) further reflects ongoing education and adherence to ethical standards. Many trainers also pursue specialty certifications in areas such as aggression management, behavior modification, or puppy development to address specific challenges.
For pet parents, choosing a certified trainer like Jason Bandel, ensures that your dog’s training is grounded in science, safety, and compassion. Asking about a trainer’s credentials is one of the best ways to make a confident, informed choice.
