The Best Training Service
for Alabama’s Dogs

If you are in need of a person that understands dogs and can effectively train them, then Dylan is who you need! We have a bull terrier that is very stubborn!! Dylan spent some time with her and then showed us how to properly motivate her with training. He is a DOG WHISPERER in every sense of the word! A++++++++

Both my son who was visiting me and I have been extremely happy with the results we are seeing in just the short time that our dog trainer (Dylan) has been working with Rilee and me!

Iron Grip worked with our Labradoodle puppy at our home over the last 5 weeks. Kirby was nipping, jumping and untrained when we started. I didn't know where to begin to get him under control. After Dylan working with him and teaching me how to work with him, Kirby now sits and lays down on command. I am able to calm him when he nips and jumps which has greatly diminished. Kirby is a work in progress but I feel secure in continuing to work with him as he grows after the excellent instruction I received from Iron Grip. Dylan was prompt, professional and very knowledgeable in dealing with our 4 month old energetic pup. I recommend Iron Grip if you have behavioral issues with your dog, need basic command training or have other obedience needs. A great and convenient service!

Dylan at iron grip dog training is absolutely amazing! Dylan started training my German Shepherd puppy when he was a few months old. I started with a bundle of training sessions. These sessions went so well that I decided to have Dylan take my puppy for the in-house training for 4 weeks! My German Shepherd is truly an amazing and well-behaved dog. Dylan has been working with him on basic obedience, training commands, and hopefully soon we can start working on transitioning my German Shepherd to a service animal for my Autistic son. Dylan's fiancé provides exceptional grooming packages as well. This is a great company if you want to have a beautifully trained and groomed dog. I recommend him for anyone who wants quality dog training at a great price!

When I adopted Sophie, it was obvious she had no leash experience, had not been in a car, and missed general puppy training. I looked online and found Dylan Shotwell and his Iron Grip Dog Training site. His military experience with dog training prompted me to call.

Sophie adapted quickly to Dylan’s instruction. He taught me how to manage her and what to do to get her to respond. With a few added prompts, he had Sophie on a leash and riding in the car.

Sophie continues to improve and I am so grateful to Dylan for his training. He has a great rapport with her. Now that her official training is coming to an end, we’ll train once a week at the dog park so Sophie can socialize with other dogs. Thank you Dylan!!
