We adopted our beloved dog, Ella, from ABRT eight years ago. She was the absolute best dog. I am currently going through training classes with our dog, Olive. She has taken Puppy Class, which was critical to socialization, Neo Dog 1 and we are now in Neo Dog 2. The instructors are available to work through any issues the classes may not address. I wouldn't take my dogs anywhere else and we really enjoy the classes. There are a lot to choose from and we'll be taking more. They definitely teach your dog to be a "nice dog".
We have a now 1 year old doodle that is going through her third class with All Breed. She is working on becoming a service dog for my daughter to replace her current service dog. They always have great advice when needed.

When I got my now three-old Aussie at 8 weeks, I asked the vet for recommendations for training; she mentioned three in Colorado Springs, including All Breed Rescue. When I read ABR's mission statement -- that no dog be un-adoptable -- I signed up for the first class we could take. Since then, we've completed six courses, including Canine Good Citizen and Canine Connection. The staff is knowledgeable, patient and excellent at providing feedback and corrective insight. I recommend ABR -- paws down!

It has been almost 5 years since I have been a client at ABRT. I adopted a 9-week-old pup from the Humane Society and receive a free puppy class from ABRT. I was hooked. I have fostered - and foster failed - for them. I have taken multiple classes - including seeing a behavioral therapist. I have also volunteered here. They provide great support to the dogs they rescue and the families who have fostered or adopted. They are so dedicated and an amazing group.
We have taken both NeoDog 1 and NeoDog 2. Our experience has been awesome and so rewarding for both our puppy and ourselves. They have taught us not only commands to make him a well behaved pup, but commands that will allow him to lead a safe and protected life knowing if he's in any danger, we are equipped to respond with commands and get him to safety. This opens so many more options for him...walking trails, socializing with other pups and greeting other people.
All Bread did everything possible to keep dogs and people safe while continuing classes during the recent respiratory dog virus. I really appreciate their extraordinary effort.
NEO 1 and 2 Training classes are so helpful...Sophie and I are better together!
Proficient and experienced staff, valuable feedback and guidance,
Positive training and reinforcement techniques.
We have had a great experience training with ABRT. My 3 year old Husky, Skye, and I have done their Neo Dog 1 & 2 classes. The training has helped both of us, with topics like loose-leash walking and impulse control. Learning how to do training activities as a team has been invaluable!
Beau Ty has attended Puppy class, NeoDog1 and is now in NeoDog2. He has learned so much and we know our bond has been strengthened through training. Trainers give us excellent tips and feedback, which help Beau to grow. We're so grateful to have found ABRT and plan to continue enrolling Beau in classes in the future.
We always enjoy our dog classes with ABR&T. Their staff is very knowledgable and helpful. The classes provide us with an opportunity to engage with our dogs and strengthen the bond between us. Our dogs enjoy these classes and learn a lot from them. These classes also increase their confidence with their human interactions and in general. Thanks from Greg & Mary!
My rescue dog, Stella, is completing her second class at All Breed Rescue & Training. She has learned a lot in a very short period of time. She had no vocabulary when I got her and she is really learning lots of words now, even at 6 years old! Very glad we chose this training facility. It’s a very positive environment.
My rescue, Rocky, has enjoyed and learned in Neo Dog 1 and Neo Dog 2. The instructors are professional, encouraging and have a great humor about training our dogs. They are concerned with how we work with our dogs. I will definitely sign up for more trainings through All Breed Rescue & Training.
I have been training with dogs at All Breed Rescue and Training for more than seven years. It's like a family where everyone is invested in my dogs, helping me develop a relationship with them and learn the skills I need to train them. I can't imagine ever calling any other organization my primary training home. They are the best!
I have taken three dogs through various classes at ABRT. In every case I found the trainers to be competent, enthusiastic and patient with dogs and owners. My dog Josie is now completing NeoDog2 and has loved it! We hope to work in amateur Agility in the future.
The trainings I have taken with ABRT have been so helpful. It was really about training me, not my dog! They have helped me understand how my behavior affects my dog's behavior. I learned so much, and my dog is better for it!
Great instructors, learning and training for Neo Dog 1 and Neo Dog 2 was a great experience, we recently had a new born and have a toddler. It made it so much easier to have our rescue transition into our family. Highly recommend for families that are trying to transition a puppy or rescue into the family
I have 2 young dogs that have taken 4 training classes here. The instructors are excellent and knowledgeable about the breeds and ages of the dogs and what they are capable of. My dogs love the different challenging activities and thoroughly LOVE coming to the classes.

We have take two classes so far with my fearful rescue pup, and they have been wonderfully patient and kind as we build trust and confidence.
I have trained my oldest dog to be a therapy dog with All Breed, my youngest is in training now and I love the relationship I build and the learning I gain!!!
We’ve adopted and had many classes in obedience and confirmation at ABRT. The training staff is amazing, knowledgeable and make the classes fun! Our dogs have been successful in every class thanks to the trainers! We will continue to go there for all of our dog training needs.
Truus and I continued to develop our skills in Neo/Dog2. Lauren provided articulate, detailed (and patient) instructions with demonstrations of each new skill. Very positive and safe training environment and a very friendly ABRT staff. The entire experience contributed to a more beneficial and manageable relationship between Truus (a South African Mastiff) and myself. I'm looking forward to continuing classes with ABRT.
Our puppy get so excited when we go to class each week, it truly is the highlight of her whole week. All Breed trainers have not only taught my pup so many new things they have taught me how to train my pup and to have a better understanding of what dogs really think. They have given me the foundation to understand the canine species and why they do the things they do. The training classes are given in very easy terms to understand with demonstrations along with a google classroom that has supportive information to work on thru the week. If your pup is struggling with a new command they support you and your pup in order to help them be successful. All Breed Rescue and Training not only offers training, but they also rescue unwanted animals in todays world and find them new forever loving homes. All staff that are affiliated with this place are phenomenal. It is the type of place when you walk you, you know they care about you and your furry family member.
The training program is outstanding. The three sequence course NeoDog 1 & 2 and Canine Companion each 6 weeks is based on a positive reinforcement philosophy that results in a companion with a good base of behaviors and understanding of how to train. Achieving results requires a commitment to goto to class, read material, and practice outside of class. Our dog now knows how to sit, flat, stand, loose leash walk, heal, wait, stay, go to a spot an stay, come immediately, pay attention, look, sleepy, and place chin in hand.
I have been training here with my dog Dante since he was 8 weeks old. He has completed numerous classes and is working toward his therapy dog certification. We have also performed in both freestyle and agility at their annual Bark in the Park Fundraiser. I also volunteer here and occasionally foster for this organization. I cannot say enough good things about All Breed Rescue & Training, Lauren Fox and her staff. This is a wonderful place to come if you truly interested in what is best for your dog and you.
We have been through 3 classes with our pup!!! The trainers are amazing and the classes are organized and well presented. The homework assignments help with carry over and overall it’s just been a great experience for Wesley & the family! Thanks again ABRT!!!
I am completing my second class, NeoDog 2, at All Breed Training & Rescue this week. The training facility is spacious and easily accessible in the center of town, and the instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful. The class is fast-paced so the key to success is working with your dog daily. While he hasn’t completely mastered “Stay” and “Wait”, he can do all the rest we learned, and now I have the tools to continue mastering the commands.
The trainers do a great job and make sure everyone is using positive training methods as well as getting the help they need in training their dogs. Highly recommend--I have attended many different types of classes with many different instructors.
I have been a volunteer with and client of All Breed Rescue and Training for over 20 years. I have used them to help train numerous dogs that we have owned. Most recently, we have become the proud owners of a whippet puppy. Site hounds can be notoriously difficult to train. They have been amazing with our little guy in terms of both helping us with the best ways to help him learn and in helping him to overcome his separation anxiety. I recommend All Breed to everybody who has a dog and is looking for training or who is looking to adopt a dog.
All Breed Rescue and Training has been phenomenal with helping me train my puppy! They are so knowledgeable and helpful and really take the time to do whatever it takes to help me master the skills required by both me and my dog to succeed. I highly recommend ABRT.
My two adolescent Rhodesian ridgebacks have taken as many classes with All Breed rescue as they offer and we can cram into our schedule - from puppy class, to advanced obedience… to Tricks class and Recall class. The trainers and behaviorists are amazing resources and they are prompt with responses and scheduling.
We have had private sessions to work through certain behaviors that have cropped up (separation anxiety and jumping on people) and my boy even volunteers as a “calm helper dog” to help reactive dogs through the behavior buddies program.
I am a huge fan of their positive reinforcement based training - ridgebacks are extremely sensitive (despite their tough exterior looks) and I have found that adverse training methods do not work on them. I would not hesitate to recommend All Breed for training and I love that their training classes help support the rescue!
We are so pleased with the quality training we've received through ABRT. The instructors are wonderful, the classes are very affordable, and we have learned so much already! Highly recommend ABRT!
Midoriya is currently in NEO 2 he has also taken K9 good citizen and many more. I always recommend ABRT for all your training needs.
10/10 would always recommend All Breed Rescue and Training to anyone looking to either foster or adopt, or train your dog as well! They have an ample amount of dog training classes that are affordable, informative, fun and effective! Everyone who works there is beyond wonderful. Just a great environment to be a part of!
We've had such a wonderful experience with ABRT. We've taken three training classes with out pup, Bess. Such patient, kind, and knowledge trainers and staff. We plan to take many more courses!
We used All Breed Rescue with another one of our dogs and loved it. We are doing even more classes now with our Golden Doodle, Norm, with the goal of having him be a therapy dog.
I have recommended them to all my friends when they get dogs.
And yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks!
Prior to working with ABRT, my dog would growl at me when I tried to handle him. Unfortunately, he had been overhandled by the veterinarians/vet techs due to numerous health conditions. After working with Terje from ABRT, I am more confident handling my dog, and he has come around. We have even passed the AKC good canine citizens test and continue to learn and grow.
Our first experience with ABRT was with our dog Jenna. She was a bit reactive with some dogs and thanks to the great classes and behavior evaluation, Jenna became a certified therapy dog! We adopted Tundra from ABRT, a sweet husky mix with severe separation anxiety. Not only did they help us work through this issue, she too became a therapy dog and the official mascot at CSUPueblo. She was beloved by our entire community! Currently, we are taking Canine Connections with our two year old husky mix named Roch. We live in Pueblo and even though we have a 70 minute drive, we wouldn't dream of taking our dog for classes anywhere else. The positive reinforcement methods and personal attention are the perfect way to help a dog become the best dog he/she can be!

We began our relationship with All Breed Rescue and Training in the fall of 2004 when we adopted our sweet Jenna from a local rescue. She was a bit reactive with other dogs and a friend recommended ABRT. We went for a behavior evaluation and the rest is history. Not only did we start Jenna in classes but she became a therapy dog as well. It was worth the trip from Pueblo because we really liked the positive reinforcement method of training. We truly wouldn't consider taking our dog anywhere else for classes. In 2006, we adopted our dear Tundra from ABRT. She and Jenna got along immediately and we knew that Tundra was the perfect dog for us. She had severe separation anxiety to the point of getting ill, but through a lot of love, patience and training she became not only a very happy and well adjusted dog..she became the beloved mascot of CSU Pueblo for almost 12 years. She truly was one of the most well known faces of Pueblo and she thrived in her very public role thanks to the love and training from ABRT. Jenna passed away in 2014 and Tundra just recently passed in 2020. We along with all of those whose lives they touched dearly miss them. We recently adopted another husky mix named Roch and he is our new mascot in training. Of course, we have started him in classes at ABRT and he is doing beautifully in his new role. He is so wonderful with kids and is great with our two older dogs. Our goal is to continue classes at ABRT so that he will receive his Therapy Dog certification. We really believe that the classes at ABRT and their training methods are the best way to bond with our dogs. We are so thankful to Lauren and all the staff at ABRT for the great work they do in helping us to have happy, social dogs along with their tireless rescue efforts to save the lives of dogs in need of their forever homes.
We are into our third training class at "All Breeds" and have experienced awesome instruction that is easy to follow and apply. Our trainer, Lauren Fox, is professionaly organized and delivers curriculum in a fun to learn atmosphere for both handler and pet. Thank you, ABRT!
All Breed Rescue and Training is a great place to train your dog. The staff is very knowledgeable about dog behaviors as well as teaching us how to implement the skills and strategies taught in class. I have taken my dog to other training facilities and All Breed Rescue and Training is by far the best I have ever gone to!
I started with ABRT in the summer of 2018 when we adopted a rescue puppy. Lillie completed puppy raising and they were very good with her since she was quite shy. She moved on to Neo 1 and also did agility through ABRT up until we found out she had a problem with her knee. In October of 2020 we adopted an aussie puppy. I went right back to ABRT and she has completed Puppy Raising, Neo 1 and is currently in Neo 2 and agility. The staff is patient and realistic, and with their guidance I believe my 2 girls are overall very happy and well trained family pets! Thanks ABRT
All Breed Rescue & Training has the most knowledgeable, caring staff around. I would highly recommend ABRT to anyone looking to train their dogs, adopt a dog or fix those behavioral issues etc. The team at ABRT is honestly phenomenal!!! They really make sure not only is your dog being trained, but you as well! Throughout the training process, you learn how to communicate with your dog and truly build that life long bond with them. If you are looking for anything from obedience to agility to nose work (and many more offered classes).. this is the place for you! The people are welcoming and would be more than willing to get you signed up. 10/10 highly recommend! Love ABRT!!
Mia is such a sweet, people loving rescue dog ~ so we decided to train her to be a therapy dog. We are in our 3rd class at ABRT and absolutely love the programs and trainers. They are patient with both the dogs and humans! Their training methods are step-by-step, easy to learn, and based on the dog's natural desire to learn. Because every owner has a different reason for training (therapy, agility, good manners), they individualize learned behaviors when appropriate. Since Mia is training to be a therapy dog, we are training her to rest her head in a person's lap, while another owner who just wants their dog to be well mannered, is training their dog to rest their head on the ground and settle. Highly recommend this program!
My relationship began with ABRT last summer after a friend of mine had a litter of 16 unexpected puppies that resulted in us adopting one. I knew right away that my dog Charley was going to be very large and it was important to me that he be well socialized and well mannered. I enrolled him in puppy 101 followed by Neo dog 1 and 2. While Charley is still a puppy and developing some traits we need to work on, i know that they will be manageable because the foundation of our relationship is based on trust. The methodology of ABRT is to never have your dog questioning whether or not he is safe with you... And that is something i value above all else. Physical discipline and fear based training were not an option for me and i am so thankful that i found a place that nurtured that same value. You MUST be willing to work and spend time outside of class with your dog to see progress. There is homework and constant reinforcing commands. But if you're willing your dog will respond!
I received a voucher for Puppy Raising 101 when I adopted Boon Dog in August 2020. Since then we've taken Neo Dog 1 and will be graduating Neo Dog 2 this Thursday! I've never trained a dog before and I appreciate how the skills Boon and I have learned build off of each other. The staff is knowledgable, patient and supportive. They provide corrective feedback around targeted opportunities and their commitment to the success of their students is totally apparent. I'm hoping to have Boon Dog trained as a therapy dog, and I'm looking forward to continuing to work with him at ABRT to get him what he needs!
I am currently enrolled in Neo Dog 2 with my dog, Aspen. We have both learned a lot and my dog is turning out to be a quick learner and has settled down quite a bit. ABRT is a great place to train your dog from basic obedience to more in depth behavior training!
Our dog, Bruno, is now completing his second class with ABRT. My husband and I have really enjoyed working with the trainers, doing the extra reading and completing the homework assignments. All three of us have learned a lot in these classes. I would recommend ABRT to anyone who has a dog that could use some training. It is clear that the trainers really love the dogs and the patience the trainers have with us is very much appreciated. We've had other dogs that we've taken to other places for training and in our opinion, ABRT is absolutely the best way to go. Their classes are reasonably priced and the trainers do a great job. I would like to suggest to ABRT that they use more videos in their homework assignments so that those of us that are visual learners can have something to refer back to when we are doing our homework with our dog.
Going to training classes at AllBreed is one of our favorite things to do with our dogs. We love seeing them grow in both their own confidence around skills and in the relationship with us as their humans. The trainers’ (especially Lauren) ability to really understand the dog and the behavior and provide insight is so amazing. We love our “ABRT “good dogs”!
My dog and I have completed three classes so far with ABRT, and we hope to do more! I have gained so many skills and so much confidence with training, and Kipling has had fun meeting new friends and learning new tasks in his classes!

We adopted our puppy, Gunner, from ABRT in July 2020. They were very professional and easy to work with. I was impressed with their focus on doing what is best for the dog, and not placing them in a home that would not be successful. Gunner had all of his vaccinations, was healthy and happy in a foster home and was schedule for neuter at the cost of ABRT. Since that time we have taken numerous training classes through ABRT. The first two classes were free for dogs rescued through ABRT. We have benefited immensely from the classes. Gunner is smart and high energy and we often comment that he would have been very difficult for us to handle without training. We now have skills and tools to work with him to get the behaviors we desire. It keeps all of us happy! Another plus to ABRT is that they offer a "no harm" approach. All training is done from positive reinforcement and no punitive consequences. I have been impressed with the effectiveness of this method. All in all I would highly recommend ABRT as a rescue and as a training facility.
ABRT and their staff are amazing! When we got our puppy we asked several different vets and animal professionals where we should go for training...everyone said go to All Breed Training and Rescue. We have completed two courses. Each class was so beneficial - you and your dog learn so much each and every time you attend. It is fun, interactive, and you get to learn steps to keep your pet safe. The staff is so caring, patient and really welcoming especially as we “hoomans”learn from our amazing pups! We love ABRT, Lauren and the entire staff! Thank you!
We heard about the puppy class from an associate and had such a wonderful experience that we've continued to learn and train with ABRT through (almost) 2 AKC certifications with more on the way. Lauren, her amazing staff and volunteers have helped us progress in skill and confidence so much that we're taking our education farther than I'd previously thought possible. I can't say enough good things!
Wonderful training and rescue facility! Positive reinforcement teaching showing dog owners how to handle real-life situations.
My 2 year old lab, Queso, and I have been going to ABRT for over a year. I was frustrated with trying to train at home. I knew the problem was me as all Queso wanted to do was make me happy, but I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong. Turns out, everything. ABRT takes time, walks you through the basics, step by step. I have a wonderful well trained pup, and he has a well trained pup parent. I love the classes, staff, energy, everything! The added benefit is they are not for profit, they use the training revenue to rescue dogs! Win, win!!
My vet referred me to All Breed Rescue and Training for puppy classes when I got a border collie puppy Remi. Listening to the puppy class instructor talk about ABRT's training philosophy of building a relationship/partnership with your dog and focusing on rewarding "good" behavior instead of punishing "bad" behavior... it's exactly what I was looking for but didn't know was out there. We ended up completing all of our basic training at ABRT, and also had they opportunity to try agility, nosework, rally, and trick classes, all of which are amazing! The instructors are so patient and knowledgeable. and are there to help troubleshoot when you're struggling. They really want to see you and your dog succeed.
Three years later I was ready to add a second dog to our home and we decided to adopt through ABRT. The instant I saw the video they posted of Tava I knew she was "the one." We went through the application process and ABRT helped us make sure she was a good fit for us and we were a good fit for her. They supported us through the entire process and helped us in the following weeks as we introduced Tava into our home. She fit right in! Everyone who visits our home tells us they can't believe someone didn't want this dog. She is that sweet. We are again taking all of our basic obedience training at ABRT. Having dogs that listen and are eager to comply gives us the opportunity to do so many things that wouldn't be possible otherwise.
All Breed Rescue & Training has really helped us learn the ins and outs of dog training and parenting! We adopted our dog from a different shelter but they highly recommended ABRT for his training and we haven't looked back since! Most importantly, ABRT teaches only using positive reinforcement training methods, which is definitely a must in our book!
We started training at ABRT in January 2020 and have now taken 3 courses and it's like we have a whole new dog! Even with the craziness of COVID, they have found a safe way to keep us training!
We also get the opportunity to help work with other dogs which is a fun learning opportunity for both of us!
We have been going to All Breeds since January of 2020. I can not say enough good things about them. They are very knowledgeable and love animals. I have learned so much about training our dog Bella.
My and dog and I have been using All Breed since the fall of 2019 when I rescued him that previous summer and was looking for dog training classes. I went to them specifically for their training philosophy and mission. The trainers are wonderful and supportive. They are very patient with the human they are training. My dog is the easier one of the two of us to train. They have handled all the challenges in a professional manner that have come with the constant changes due to the Covid outbreak we are experiencing. I highly recommend anyone who is looking to adopt or training to go to All Breed.
Neo 2 class was very beneficial to my girl. Coming in during COVID has made it difficult to socialize her with strange people and strange dogs. Getting into a class has been challenging for her but she has made great strides in working through those distractions and I am grateful that we have this opportunity.

Great folks who truly love dogs and love helping fellow dog owner strengthen their relationship with their dogs!
Dakota has been in training with All Breed since she was 8 weeks old! They have been amazing with her and she has learned so much! I am so thankful for all of information and training they provide!
I started my experience with ABRT with my rescue Dane, Ruger, when he was about 10 months old. Happy & exuberant at home, he went completely into a shell when he was out in public. He would go deep inside himself and would not even take a treat. ABRT helped him work through three levels of obedience classes, even when he would never even take a treat while in class. Their gentle, positive reinforcement training helped Ruger come out of his shell and he is now so excited to go out in public. He especially loves the outdoor adventure classes he has done, Rally, and has even tested for and received his Canine Good Citizen title through ABRT. I am so excited to see how far he has come! Now my Dane puppy Riley has become an ABRT success starting with puppy socialization classes when she was 9 weeks old. She has completed Neo Dog 1, Neo Dog 2 and is about to finish Canine Connection. She is such a happy, confident and well-socialized girl who is so well mannered and such a joy to be around. Having the ability to start her out right with puppy socialization and then continue her training all the way along at ABRT has been such a blessing. All the instructors we have worked with at ABRT have been amazing, but I am especially grateful to Lauren Fox for her skill as an instructor and her incredible depth of knowledge and to Annelise who teaches Neo Dog 1 for her skill, gentleness and creativity in helping my sweet rescue Dane, Ruger, make it successfully through his first class. It's been nothing but progress since then. Thank you all!
My rescue pup Kit is completing her third class at ABRT this week. We're practicing for our graduation final exam with Lauren now and I keep smiling seeing the progress Kit has made. Through their positive training, my fearful and insecure street dog has grown into a confident and happy obedient girl (mostly obedient - she still has the independent street dog streak and always will). I'm a veterinarian in town and recommend the behavior and training teams to my clients regularly. I don't think this is our last class at ABRT. Its too much fun to grow in my relationship with my dog through training and play. If you're looking for a great training program to help support a healthy relationship with your canine friend, look no further than All Breed Rescue and Training.
We heard about All Breed because they offered free puppy classes when we adopted our puppy through the Humane Society. As first time dog owners we were so happy with all the information they provided us and how they have walked us through this puppy journey. The puppy classes were amazing and started teaching the foundations of training. We have taken Neo Dog 1 & 2 and are amazed at the progress! Thank you All Breed!
I would not be spending so much time with this organization unless I felt compelled to do so by their practices. I have been a follower of ABRT since the early 2000's. I recently became a volunteer and realized that this organization is more than what meets the eye. The dedication of the staff, students and volunteers are beyond admirable. They are committed to the "tough" ones, the ones who need a second, third, or fourth chance at life but with the new tools to help them be a better dog. ABRT's relationship/positive based training has opened my eyes to new ways and a new passion for rescue. I want to thank all the hard working people at ABRT. Without them, many great dogs would not be here with wonderful families. For a small, local rescue, they make such a large impact.
I first used All Breed Training and Rescue almost 12 years ago to help me with the fearful young Australian Shepherd I had adopted from our local shelter. The difference in Elvis from first day of class to the last had me in tears of joy by graduation. SInce then, my father, my cousin and countless other friends have taken their dogs to Lauren Fox and the great group at ABRT for training. When my now husband and I were getting ready to merge our households 10 years ago, the first person I called was Lauren to evaluate any issues we might have making our three dogs instant siblings. I currently have my 2-year-old Pit mix, Ellie, another adoption from our local shelter, in lessons with Lauren. Like anyone with a reactive dog, I would love to wiggle my nose and have a "perfect" dog, but we are going at Ellie's pace and the results have been positive and steady. Both my husband and my two young children have been involved in her training and it really has bonded all of us. Lauren has shown that same commitment to us every class. Ellie used to be fearful of any car trip. Now all I have to say is, "Are you ready to go to class?" and she turns into a grinning, wriggly goofball! Not sure where we'd be without Lauren and the team at All Breed Rescue and Training.
I adopted an ABRT dog in 2009 and another in 2013. I am in awe of these people who rescue these dogs that have been thrown away. They have no hope. All Breed finds them, evaluates them and turns them into loving, loyal members of a family. They don't stop at the adoption. They continue to ensure these dogs never again end up at a shelter on death row. Both of my dogs would have been put to death - they had been horribly abused by someone. Today, they are members of our family.
We recently started fostering a dog through All Breed Rescue & Training and have only been impressed with how they operate. So much love and devotion is given to these dogs with a true desire to not just find a home, but find the right home for each animal, making the right match for the adopter as well. This is how you truly find a forever home.
Lauren is a 100% ROCK STAR. Everyone else said they could not fix my Kangal dog and there was nothing they could do. Lauren proved then all wrong. My dog has become a great part of my family. Lauren can always help with reactive dogs despite what other trainers tell you.
Thank for everything you have done Lauren. You are my dogs savior.

Five years ago I started training my dog at ABRT. It's such a great organization, I started volunteering, became a foster mom and eventually became a member of the Board of Directors. I love the trust based, positive reinforcement training, the community education that we do and the resue of at risk dogs.
Not only did All Breed Rescue and Training help our family find a great companion dog, they've helped change our life. We are now more physically active and more apt to enjoy the beautiful region where we live, but we've learned more about ourselves and our behavior by thoughtful analysis of our dog's desires and needs. We're teaching and training our dog, but our dog is training and teaching us, too. This wouldn't occur without the dedication, knowledge, care and ability that ALL the staff at ABRT, and especially executive director Lauren Fox, exhibit each and every time we arrive for class. Five stars, A+, two paws up rating for ABRT!
What a remarkable, outstanding and knowledgable staff. Lauren Fox is one of the kindest people that I know and it warms my heart when I see her with the animals. I wish I could take this passionionate organization whereever I go.
Got involved with ABRT to help our newest family member get some manners. The training programs that we have been involved in so far have not only been teaching us how to train our dog, but they have been fun and the comraderie is an added bonus. I also came to see all the many wonderful other things they are doing. This is a great organization that wants only the best for their rescues and are willing to make magic happen. The staff is dedicated and loving, patient and kind, knowledgeable and informative.
Thank you All Breed Rescue and Training!!
