He could tell I had so much tension I been stressing out about my dog and he made sure to check in with my concerns. We recently moved and our Bichon Frise did not take the move well. He has since become very aggressive and attacks the other family dog viscously. This was not like him at all. We never trained him so he was a free spirit dog you could say but his behavior just got worst in the last month. Don taught us techniques to get him to listen. I was shocked. I've never seen him listen. Also even after he left my dog was more calm and would listen. We are going to make sure to follow all his steps and tools he gave us to succeed. At the end of the day we trained us too lol I recommend him 100 percent. I called him yesterday and thankfully he had a cancellation and pray and I snatched that appointment fast.

Don is awesome. My dog did a 180° since meeting him. He literally came to our home yesterday…read moremorning and my husband and I are still marveling at how great/easy his training session was. He could try and squeeze out whatever money he can by promising the same outcome in a span of 4-5 weeks but he is honest and cuts the B.S right from the start. My dog would jump on us all the time, try and eat our food, run out the gate and it's insane to say, Don helped us correct it all in a few hours. Obviously you have to practice practice practice until it becomes a habit for the dog so in the end, it comes down to you. Are you willing to put in the work and have a great relationship with your dog. If you are, save yourself hundreds of dollars and visits, and call Don.

Before Matt started the training, he took some time to explain what to expect of this training as well as my involvement in the process. Matt teaches practices that as dog owners we must continue doing daily. He goes through every little dog command and explains the importance of consistency. Since this is the first time I hire a dog trainer, I asked tons of questions to be sure I was on the right path to see the expected results. Matt was very patient and answered every single question I had. I'm happy to see big results even during the first dog training session. My dogs listen and follow the learned commands easily now. Highly, highly recommend him. THANK YOU Matt!!

Based on a friend's recommendation, I begrudgingly sent our beloved 1 yr old Lab to Beauty and her…read moreBeasts for 2 weeks training. I thought, how much of a difference can this make in 2 weeks? Wow, was I amazed at the results! I'm not suggesting our pup is now perfect, but she is so attentive, a pleasure to walk, and seems to understand when she needs to behave and when she can be crazy. I highly recommend Chantel's services.

If you're looking for a dog trainer, I'm just going to say it -- go with Chantel…read more Choosing her was easily one of the best decisions we've made, second only to rescuing our girl, Hera. We brought Hera home at 2 months old. She's a German Shepherd, and we were completely overwhelmed. She wasn't just a "normal crazy puppy." She was reactive, timid, and scared of everything. Loud cars, motorcycles, sirens -- instant panic. Walks were stressful because she pulled and lunged nonstop. At home, it wasn't much easier. She wouldn't relax or cuddle. She chased our son, nipped at us, and treated everyone like a chew toy. Our son was honestly scared of her. We knew she was a puppy and that some of this was normal, but after four months of trying everything we could think of, we felt exhausted and defeated. Then we found Chantel. We talked to four different trainers before choosing her. She was the only one who didn't feel like she was just trying to sell us something. You can tell immediately that she genuinely cares. She answered every question we had and never made us feel dumb or rushed. We actually wanted to start training right away, but she told us Hera needed to be a little older first. Instead of pushing us to sign up anyway, she gave us advice to help us survive those last few weeks. That alone meant a lot. At 6 months, we sent Hera to train with her -- and the difference is honestly unbelievable. She listens. She checks in with us. Walks are calm now. Loud noises don't send her into a meltdown. She's confident instead of scared. But the biggest change? Our son and Hera are best friends now. They cuddle. They play. He's not afraid of her anymore. She still gets to be a puppy, but now she makes good choices on her own. Chantel didn't just train our dog -- she gave us peace in our own home again. If you're on the fence, this is your sign. Go with Chantel.

I brought my Labrador (1 year old) to Megan to work on his reactivity, walking, and basic manners…read more She updated me every single day with pictures, videos, and texts describing what they worked on, what he struggled with, and how she improved it. Megan provided detailed feedback and I appreciated how quickly she responded to any questions I had. When I picked him up, he was a new dog!!! She spent almost 2 hours with me, ensuring that I understood his behavior, how to correct it, and provided direct feedback on how I can improve my response to ensure my dog's success. I will be referring anyone who asks to Megan, and our lives have been changed thanks to the solid foundation of training her and Hannah provided!!!

Sophie has been home for two weeks and we could not be happier. Her behavior has improved so much and we enjoy going on walks again. Sophie listens to commands, and Meg provided us with the tools on how to work with her. We are so happy we found Meg to work with our baby. We are all so happy, and we know how to work with her on a daily basis.

There are several reasons we enjoy Ready 2 Wag. 1. The…read moretrainer, MJ, knows what she is talking about and communicates well. It's easy to see that she has a big heart for animals and wants them and the handler to learn. She's not one of those trainers who stands off to the side shouting orders, but rather steps in when necessary to help. 2. Ready to Wag provides the opportunity for us to connect with our dog better and build better relationship while having fun and building trust. Our dog gets great physical and mental exercise (and so do we). 3. The property is beautiful! The lawn and equipment are well maintained. The surrounding views are gorgeous. Plus MJ has fresh water available too for our dogs. There's plenty of space to move around and enjoy.

If you are looking for a fun way to interact with and challenge your dog, you should give Ready 2 Wag a try!

Xavier is amazing and you can tell he has a natural talent for working with animals. Many people…read moresay they have so many years of experience doing their jobs and you never can tell, but being in class for 4 weeks and watching the growth and change in the various dogs as the weeks go by, you can't help but believe that Xavier truly knows his stuff. He is passionate about his work and this reflects in the way he teaches us how to work with our animals. I didn't bring the worse of my dogs to the training, but I am so happy with the end result with my rescue dog that I am returning for more classes with my "bad boys". Xavier is easy to talk to and he really does love and respect the animals and teaches us to do the same. He's funny and engaging during training. The smaller classes give a nice intimate feel so you get the attention you need from the instructor and you don't feel lost or afraid to ask if you need a little extra support. Thank you for helping me get Chanelly ready for her forever home where I know she'll for sure impress her new family with her good behavior.

We were vetting dog trainers for our Doberman puppy, Anakin, and we just so happen to meet Javier…read morewhile shopping at Pet Empire. We asked about training and he gave us a couple of great behavioral tips, particularly about dealing with a power breed but recommended we reach out after Anakin completes all of his vaccinations. We planned to start training after New Year's, but Anakin seemed to start his teenager phase early and while we socialized him as much as possible, he seemed to digress particularly with walking, so early December I reached out to Javier for the four 1:1 personal training sessions. We were able to schedule them rather quickly. Javier was very knowledgeable and communicative. He explained clearly how we can create a better connection with Anakin, how our own behavior affects his behavior, and why it was important we correct them. We learned new things that YouTube/Google couldn't have provided because Javier personalized the training around Anakin's breed and temperament. We had our kids attend the trainings as well so we all can get the same training and info, which incredibly improved Anakin's behavior because the training at home was consistent. He also helped build our kids' confidence in walking Anakin. We will be signing up for the group trainings for additional socialization as well as more 1:1 trainings. We fully trust in Javier's expertise in training our powerful yet crybaby of a Doberman. We highly recommend him!
