My friends nicknamed her Cujo, it was that bad. I couldn't invite people to the house. Summer of 2025 I have a dog that loves meeting new dogs and people and runs around OB dog beach off leash. She's not reactive, she has great recall, she makes friends, I can have people over, she listens to commands, and she's so easy to walk. I took her into the vet this week and they removed the 'bite risk' warning from her file, they said it's like a completely different dog. She's not anxious or fearful. She's confident, playful, and so happy. All of this was because of training with John. He is patient, gentle, and kind. I can't put into words how grateful I am that we found him. I recommend him to every dog owner I know.

Justin is the best! We reached out for help with our newly adopted dog, who was struggling with…read morereactivity. Justin took the time to explain what was driving the behavior and the emotions behind it, which helped us understand our dog so much better. I'm not exaggerating--within about 20 minutes, we saw a huge improvement! We went on a great walk, and Justin gave us tons of practical advice and tools to keep making progress. We left feeling so happy, relieved, and much more confident. We couldn't recommend him enough!

I started working with Justin about three months ago to address my 11-year-old dog Piper's anxiety…read moreand alert barking. She's always been a little anxious and vocal, but as she's gotten older, both issues have worsened. I've tried just about every other approach, but Justin's guidance and unique perspective on training are truly transformative. He doesn't just give you techniques to follow--he teaches you how to connect with your dog and ease the underlying issue in a way they can understand. The lifelong resource you gain through this service, combined with the trust and confidence he builds throughout the process, makes this feel like so much more than a training program. It has genuinely been life-changing for us both.

I thought adopting a puppy would be easier for me to train and they wouldn't have any "bad habits"…read more I was wrong. After researching training and meeting with Kevin, I sent my 10 month old puppy, Quinn, to 3 week board and training with him. I definitely had concerns and misconceptions for the prong and eCollar training, but Kevin explained both to me in detail and even demonstrated the eCollar on himself. Leaving my puppy with a stranger for that length of time was scary, but Quinn came back a different and better dog. She learned several new commands, walked much better on a leash, and even finally went potty outside! I would definitely recommend Strategic K9 Training.

They treated my dog like he was one of their own. i also use them to board my dog when i travel. I have full confidence in them and again, my dog feels right at home.

He has shown us what cues to look for and how to get the best out of our dogs while using firm and loving methods. Essentially, he teaches us how to motivate our dogs to want to do the exercises. He has wonderful follow up, as well, and doesn't push anything but rather encourages. It has been a wonderful experience and we will work with Fernando again after we've had time to practice what we learned. I highly recommend him to anyone interested in effective, long lasting training practices and strengthening your understanding of your fur babies. Thank you, Fernando!!

We've been working with Fernando to train our rescue dog, Cowboy, and I can't recommend him enough!…read more From the very first session, Fernando has been incredibly communicative, patient, and professional. He took the time to really understand Cowboy's personality and our specific goals. We're currently focusing on preventing "door dashing," improving basic obedience, and walking nicely on a leash -- and we're already seeing major progress! One of the things I appreciate most is Fernando's flexibility with in-home scheduling. It's made the training process so much more manageable for our family. He explains everything clearly and always gives us practical tools and homework that are easy to follow between sessions. Cowboy is responding so well to Fernando's calm, consistent approach, and we feel much more confident as dog owners thanks to his guidance. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, helpful, and reliable dog trainer, Fernando is your person!

In October 2025 as a favor for a friend, I agreed to take care of Jeffrey for two months while…read moreJeffrey's sibling recovered from knee surgery. Jeffrey is a male lab mix and was 10 months old when he came to stay with me. When Jeffrey came to stay with me, I already had Koda, a male chow-huskie mix, four years old. About two months into his stay, Jeffrey became my forever dog. Also, at about that same time, Jeffrey and Koda began to get into some bad fights that needed human intervention to stop. My friend had taken her dog to Devotion to Dogs with great results, so I took Jeffrey for training. Jeffrey completed his training about one month ago and no fights with Koda have occurred after the training. Josh was great with Jeffrey and did Jeffrey's home visit. I am grateful and thankful to Josh and the whole team at Devotion to Dogs!!

You will always feel safe and know that your dog will be loved.

OMG, I can't say enough good things about Jerry! He is literally the best when it comes to dogs…read more You can tell right away that he has a true passion for understanding them--it's like he speaks their language or something! My dog was totally out of control before, but Jerry was so patient, both with her AND with me (which is saying a lot because I had no clue what I was doing lol). He doesn't just train your dog; he also teaches you how to work with them. Like, he made it so easy to understand what my dog was trying to communicate. My dog went from being super hyper and hard to handle to actually listening and being chill. It's honestly kind of magical. If you're looking for someone who really gets dogs and takes the time to make sure you and your pup succeed, Jerry is your guy. Don't even think twice--just book him! You'll thank me later.

I signed up for group classes but we were the only ones registered so it ended up being a one-on-one. I would totally recommend it!! Rebecca is the trainer at Spring Valley. She was so patient and explained everything very well. She is very knowledgeable and professional. I can tell Dixie looked forward to going to her class every Thursday because she would get excited once we were close to the building. Rebecca was also flexible with rescheduling due to our life issues. On her last class Dixie received her certificate and a bag full of goodies. I can see a huge improvement in Dixie's behavior!! Thank you Rebecca!!! Side note: The rest of the employees there were also very sweet. I was always greeted with a smile!

Are they under new ownership? What has changed?…read more We've used Camp Run-A-Mutt several times over the years for overnight boarding and have always had a great experience, which is why this recent stay was so surprising. When making the reservation, I noticed that a few of my dog's vaccinations would expire during his stay. We took care of getting them updated weeks in advance and made sure the vaccination certificates were sent to Camp Run-A-Mutt. I even confirmed with a staff member at the front desk that they had received everything and that my dog was all set for his stay. A few days before our trip, I received a call saying my dog was missing vaccinations. I asked which ones, and of course they were the very vaccinations we had already updated and submitted. I explained that they had the records, the employee put me on hold, then came back and confirmed everything was in order and said they'd see him on Thursday. Then things got even more frustrating. On Thursday, as I was landing in another state for my vacation, my daughter--who was dropping my dog off before catching her own flight--called me in a panic. She was being told they couldn't accept him because his rabies vaccine wasn't up to date. I immediately called the facility and explained that we had already confirmed his records twice. The employee put me on hold, checked the records, and sure enough, they had his current rabies certificate the entire time. They admitted everything was up to date and accepted him. A few days later, while we were still out of state, I received another call saying my dog was being quarantined and separated from the other dogs because his vaccinations supposedly weren't current. At this point, this was the third time in less than a week that the exact same issue had come up. I again explained that his vaccinations were current and that their staff had already confirmed this multiple times. The employee put me on hold and never came back to the phone. Thankfully, my daughter was only a few hours away and was able to rush over and pick him up. When I called to pay for his stay over the phone and let them know he was being picked up, I was initially told they couldn't accept payment over the phone. That was confusing because I've paid over the phone for previous stays without any issue. When I asked if it was a new policy, the employee admitted it wasn't--they just didn't know how to process a phone payment. They had to get someone else to help before I was finally able to pay. I'm honestly not sure what's changed, but the organization and communication were completely different from the excellent service we've received in the past. The repeated confusion over vaccination records--which they already had on file and repeatedly confirmed--caused unnecessary stress while my family was traveling out of state and ultimately resulted in our dog being removed from daycare and picked up early. We've always been happy with Camp Run-A-Mutt, which is why this experience was so disappointing. I hope this was just an isolated breakdown in communication, but based on our recent experience, I no longer feel confident leaving my dog there.

Ashley has texted me every week since seeing Reese to check in and help me with any issues that come up. I can't sing the praise of Zoe's Dog Training and Ashley for getting my Reese and I back on track. Thank you
