Nora Dog Training not true to their commitment

I, too, had my dog trained by Nora and they guaranteed a life time of coming out to correct issues. I had another of my dogs there in 2002 and was not so bad, but this time I called twice because they never returned my call and finally got hold of someone. Then Nora spoke with me and I explained the situation. Said they would call in a week or two. Needless to say, they never got back to me or made an appt. to come out. This is their policy "no limit to the amount of times they will come out"...Oh and the first excuse was the weather is bad for training outside....I said this is not an outside issue it is an inside issue. I explained to her again what I needed and her response was "typical shepherd". Tim came out twice and was very good with him and has a lot of knowledge with GSDs, but he is retired from traveling...Guess they just don't care after a while and figure it is our fault/problem. Sure get it, but then show me how to correct it! That is the end of them for me.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I took my dog for training and agression in 2012. She came back worse. She was in crate most of time and now doesnt like dogs. I decided to have them come out for the guarantee and they sent a kid all but of 19 or so and he said the last resort was a shock collar. Really. I spent alot of money and she is worse than before. They suck

My dog is not the same

Took my dog in 2012 and was told she would have freedom when come to find out she was in crate most of time. She does not like other dogs before we took her she did. When you go to pet her her head and ears go back like she is scared to death. For the money I spent, she came home worse and better yet i called and told them that and they set a kid yes kid maybe 18 to my house to see what her problem was and told me I needed to put a shock collar on her.

Ron williams dog trainer nj williams training academy

I brought my dog to Ron Williams dog training last year. My dog wasn't fed properly. He was peeing all over the house when I got him home. He was starving and couldnt' even follow basic command. He became terrified of men – and when I picked up my dog I witnessed Ron hit my dog in the head right in front of me. I know this isn't how you train a dog. Today, August 21, 2012 Ron Williams was convicted of horrific animal abuse charges including death or torment of an animal – this is beyond serious at this point. Today, August 21 in Wildwood Court in NJ Ron Williams the supposed dog trainer of williams dog training academy and ron williams dog trainning was convicted in court for public knowledge of all charges brought to him. he is now a convicted animal abuser - please please please don't take your animal here.

I sent my dog to Ron Williams after he told me on the phone that they would have the run of the house and he could handle any problem. However after a few days I couldnt' get him on the phone.

When I finally went to his house I had to get the police to get my dog out as he was drunk and incoherent. My dog wasn't trained and Ron didn't give me my money back or try to resolve the situation.

He later claimed bankruptcy and collects public assistance. Please stay away this is not a reputable business.

Dog training by ron williams

I sent my dogs too Ron williams for training.After speaking to him on the phone i found out he was a crazy abusive drunk.Ron williams is being charged with annimal cruelty.Dogs have been lost while he was drunk he hits them fries their necks with shock collars tranquilizes them does not feed them.This is a VERY sick man he doesn`t care about anything but getting his next drug or booze fix.He has filed bankruptcy and now lives in a really bad area.If you agreed to send your dog too him he would probably not want you to see the place so he will offer to pick up your dog i don`t know how he would he has no drivers licence from so many dui`s.

All are innocent until proven guilty. Having said that, slander is nasty business, and punishable by fines and imprisonment. Any comments posted here prior to pending court proceedings are both inflammatory and criminal in nature.

My personal observation of the facilities, and treatment of the dogs were rated as an A++++ and 5 stars ***** for cleanliness, consistency, humane treatment, and integrity of the trainer, Ron Williams. There was no evidence of crating and holding any dog against its will. Crate doors were open and the dogs were allowed free range throughout the facility. The dogs napped with open doors, and were never crated for any period of time except for a brief trip to a local grocery store.

There was no evidence of any illicit drug use, nor any abuse of any alcoholic beverages by Mr. Williams on the premises.

My visit was not scheduled; I simply arrived with my dog. I found nothing improper or questionable; and believe me, I looked and there was nothing of note. Mr. Williams was gracious, a gentleman, and a professional business person whose passion is dogs, in the most positive of ways. I would recommend him highly.

The care that my own dog received was exceptional, and never anything less than superior. Mr. Williams is a humane handler, and would never do anything to harm any animal.

I am aware of dogs Mr. Williams has worked with in the past that arrived at his facility with previous injuries and bruising. If anything, Mr. Williams has gone more than the extra mile to work with any dog, never advocating that an animal be put down. The decision was made by the owner to destroy the dog; a necropsy was never performed upon the death -- it was cremated. Proof is impossible to document on a pile of ashes.

With this in mind, the accusations are false, inflammatory, and misleading. Obviously, putting out this kind of information on a Web site, without the documented facts to support the lies, will rally the support of the ignorant who think they are doing the "right" thing.

Attempting to ruin someone's reputation, due to personal anger issues and instability, is not in the interest of the truth or justice in this country. But it is a way to do damage to someone who has not been found guilty of anything in a court of law,

i wouldn't reccomend ron williams dog training or williams dog training academy - i brought my dog here last year and couldn't reach ron on the phone so i went to the house after 3 days - he wouldn't answer the door I had to get the police - when he finally opened the door he was drunk and stumbling. there were all these dogs stuck in crates - our dog was hungry, thirsty and not trained! call the police he isn't licensed or zoned to do this out of his home either.

Guest

thank you i thought i was the only one who had this experience - my dogs weren't trained and were neglected -

Williams dog training , NJ is a HUGE SCAM!

I sent my dog to be trained.He was fairly trained before but I was still having some issues.She assured me that all will be done to my satisfaction.She insistd on all money upfront.I spoke with an employee who was surprised to know I wantd paper training since all she was told was to train him on grass.I also spoke with Nora again to see what was going on and she tried to make excuses.I told her the MAIN REASON I sent him to you was bcuz you TOLD me he would be paper trained as I wanted.Her daughter brought him back,I got a bill stating I owed them $55 more when I was told everything inc.They lost his harness and charged me for a choker.She shortened my training session since she arrived 30mins late.He was worse than before he went.He pooped on my bed which he never did before.All the issues I was told would be fixed was not.I called in the morning and was spoken/yelled at VERY rudely by a Tim who basically told me everything was my fault.He was nasty,sarcastic,condescending to me.My dog is worse than before he went.They dont want to amend the situation.They are extremely rude about it

I took my dog Zeva to Ron William in 2011. During those two weeks of him having Zeva he would not return my phone calls or repeated email.

When he did he told me that he was busy painting his Girlfriends apt. He indicated that he needed to keep her another week because she was being difficult to train. I advised him absolutely not I was coming to pick her up. When I pick her up there was no training facility it was a one bedroom, not even a bedroom it was a bed in the living room and a kitchen.

Zeva was hiding under the bed. She did not learn a thing. As soon as she got into the car she peed on the seat. She was scared to death.

I paid $1000.00. Ron Williams indicated that he would do another week of training for free, I told him he could kiss my ***. Zeva came home having separation anxiety and deathly afraid of the crate.

I will never use any trainer accept for Wolf from Justice Rescue out of Philadelphia. Ron Williams is a drunk.

I advise owners try in-home training. Many good trainers will come in and educate you to the techniques that will best fit your situation.

Good luck with your dog.
