Not great in most situations, scary in others :( He has a very sweet nature at home, but his and my quality of life was suffering due to his extreme reactivity to other dogs. Fun relaxing walks would quickly turn into stress-filled episodes of vicious lunging, snapping, and barking at other dogs. He is small but very frightening! I had dreamed of running through forests and fields, roaming everywhere with my little best friend. It just wasn't happening, it was stressing everyone out, we received glares and disapproving glances on the trails. I felt terribly embarrassed and wondered if there was any hope. I was pretty disappointed as I tried to accept our fate. Then we found High Tail. The results were miraculous, Max can now co-exist in peace with other dogs and doesn't even react anymore! I needed to understand how to work with his issues so he could recover and learn to trust. He needed kindness, understanding, and consequences. He is a special dog with a unique past and I think High Tail understood him and could gauge just how much work he could handle in training so he wouldn't get stressed. They keep it positive and make sure your dog is having a good time while learning. It was a great experience and I highly recommend them. They can probably help with most problems pretty quickly, I was extremely impressed and grateful that Max and I have a new life ahead full of doggy playtime and walks. Thank you High Tail!

After the 2018 Camp Fire, our dog Stinson trained privately with staff due to our needs and later COVID restrictions; he loved his time there and he had friends. Whether he was learning, playing, or staying with the team he felt at home with them.. Now we have Crash, who has completed Puppy Socialization, Kindergarten, Surviving Adolescent classes, and more. Sara and her entire staff truly care about both the dogs and their people. I know they love Crash. They work hard to bring out the best in each dog while teaching owners how to communicate and work effectively as a team all with a soft hand. They all work to bring out the "friend" in your dog. Their combination of knowledge, patience, encouragement, and genuine love for the dogs is something special. We simply can't say enough good things about Sara and The Canine Connection. If you're looking for a place that will help you build a strong, positive relationship with your dog, this is it!

I can't recommend this team enough! I spoke with several board-and-train programs before making my…read moredecision, but after my initial consultation, I felt so comfortable that I drove Luna from Sacramento to Chico, and I'm so glad I did. A huge thank you to Kassandra, who kept me updated with detailed, thoughtful messages throughout Luna's stay. I always knew she was in great hands. Luna went to training to improve her manners, leash walking, and confidence, and the difference was obvious from the moment I picked her up. She still has her happy personality, but she's much more confident, relaxed, and in control, which has made life at home so much more enjoyable for all of us. I would absolutely trust them again with any future dogs or additional training, and I highly recommend them! PS. I noticed another reviewer complaining that they use e-collars. I believe he is confused because he describes them as "electrocution," yet they aren't shock collars and do not deliver an electric shock, nor cause pain. He also seemed to be surprised they used it on his dog, but they're mentioned in the promotional materials... Don't be swayed by the opinion of someone who didn't even read the information he was sent.

Stay far away from this place. The trainers are mostly subletted out so you don't really know who…read moreyou'll get until it's too late. My dog was dehydrated to the point of his skin was peeling off by the time he came back and yes the trainer admitted the withhold water to prevent them from needing to go pee as often (excuse me but what the F?!). Of course they convinced us that he needed to stay for an extra week, being extremely pushy about it using sales tactics that one would expect from a scammy dog trainer. They used an e collar even though we would never have agreed to them using that. Our poor dog came back traumatized. I wouldn't trust my worst enemies dog with ireeny (maybe ireenie?). Either way when we brought this up to managment ofcourse as one would expect it was all excuses. BUT the owner or whoever it was that's in charge was nice enough to offer one on one in Person training lesson to make up for it, which doesn't take back the weeks of torture my dog went through being actually electrocuted and dehydrated but the craziest part was the owner never bothered following up and keeping her promise. Trust me if you love your furry little friends stay far away. Nothing professional about this place. 4k dollar down the drain. My first dog was trained so unbelievably amazing by someone who very obviously loved their job. Unfortunately they closed down between the time we got our first dog to the second one. Shamrock ranch is the place we went too for 1500$ they worked wonders. This place just leaves you feeling ripped off. 4k$ for nothing to show except a poorly trained dog...is an actual scam. The kicker...we were told we would need to keep the e collar on him for the next 1.5 years. How come my other dog never needed an e collar?!? I'm disgusted I didn't trust my gut when I got that feeling of being pushed into the whole "he won't be trained correctly if you don't keep him there for the extra week". Meanwhile my dog was being abused. Feel free to reach out to me for a more in depth explanation of our nightmare of an experience.

I inherited a German Shepherd/Boxer mix that is about a year old. He's about 70 lbs and…read morerambunctious. His owner passed a couple of months ago so he's been through many changes lately and was acting out. He loves to play and was driving my 3 other smaller dogs bonkers, door dashing and then running around the neighborhood, would not come when called, and generally stressing everyone out. The little dogs would hide all day and wouldn't go outside with him because he would chase and nip at them in an attempt to get them to chase him and play. Elise at Woof Training took him for 2 weeks and I can honestly say it's the best thing I could have done for Max and myself. I picked him up yesterday and he is a different dog. He did try to test his limits when he got home, but I stuck to his training and he has been terrific. I walked him today and he didn't once try to pull on his lead. The dogs all go outside together now and he mostly leaves them be. He tries to entice them to play, but not in a manner that scares or angers them. They aren't barking all of the time and I am not stressing. I can't thank Elise and Woof Training enough for training Max. The transformation is amazing. He's a little gentleman now. Thank you so much Elise! You're awesome! Laura Knight

My pit mix, Hazel came into my life after spending some time alone on the streets of Bakersfield…read moreand then getting placed on the euthanasia list at the local shelter. Whatever trauma she endured there started showing itself through fear-based aggression toward humans; after trying on my own to address the behavior, both Hazel and I were stressed, frustrated and scared. I realized I needed professional help and I wanted it to be provided by an educated, dedicated trainer who came from a place of empathy. Tiffany fit that description perfectly. From the moment of our first Zoom "audition," I could tell she was no nonsense: she could train Hazel, but it would also take work, honestly and dedication from me, as well. Prior to drop off, I was provided with specific directions, a handbook and easy to follow instructions on exactly how the training would go. The minute I dropped off Hazel with Tiffany, my heart felt hopeful for the first time in months. Hazel immediately recognized Tiffany as a kindred spirit who commanded respect but made sure her first job was to connect with my dog. From there, I was receiving daily, lengthy updates that included videos describing what/how she was training as well as lectures that provided guidance I could follow once she came home. The part that made me realize I had made the right decision was that, within a couple of days, Tiffany had identified Hazel's root issues that were leading to her aggression and adjusted her training accordingly. It was amazing to watch her with Hazel: her focus, her calm, quiet demeanor and Hazel's response to her: trust. Once Hazel came home, the real work started and Tiffany is available 24/7 the first 72 hours and then available during her normal work hours for the life of your dog. That's an incredible commitment for what you're paying to know that your dog is in the best hands possible. I can't speak highly enough of Tiffany (and her sweet husband). I've been an animal person my whole life and there is no one else I'd recommend to help you connect more and understand any issues or behaviors your dog might be experiencing. Thank you, Tiffany.

Tiffany and For the Love of Dog has been nothing short of transformative for both me as a dog owner…read moreand for my dog. I was fortunate enough to book a month long board and train with Tiffany for my dog, who was a pandemic pup who had some medical trauma that robbed us of important foundational training time when he was a puppy. He's a strong guy as an adult and I was having a lot of trouble instilling training into him since he was not a food motivated dog, especially when it came to walking on a leash. He'd pulled me off my feet a few times and I knew I needed a professional to really help me become the best and safest dog owner I could for him. Working with Tiffany and For the Love of Dog doesn't just instill amazing training in your dog, but educates you as the owner in ways I didn't even realize was possible. I feel so much more prepared and educated now, through Tiffany's training, her educational videos, her to-the-minute updates on my Dog's progress and how she teaches--both the dogs and the human owners. She breaks down everything in such easy to follow ways and her insight on behavior, both dog and human owner behavior is nothing short of brilliant. I also know I can reach out to her at any time for any hurdles we encounter and will receive her insight and knowledge, which is worth its weight in gold. She quickly identified not only my mixed dog's breed (the genetic test totally confirmed everything she said!) but the underlying anxiety that he felt. The month he spent with her has transformed him from an anxious worrier with deep feelings who would pull me off my feet on walks to a calm dog who knows he can do hard work and that I'll be beside him to help as we tackle any new situations. The difference in him is profound: he's calm, he's walking on a loose leash, he's happily obeying commands and he's more confident in his place in the world and in our little pack of three. And I feel so much more prepared and understand him on a deeper level through Tiffany's insight, education and help. If you've got a pup facing a hard problem or anxious behavior or any issue at all, invest the time and money into Tiffany's training. You will be so thankful--and so will your dog! I cannot recommend her enough. This experience has strengthened my bond with my dog, educated me as a long-time dog owner and introduced an order into our lives that has truly changed it for the better.
