Working with Beth changed everything for us with our daughter's small dog Tito. Before we found her, having people come into our home was stressful and honestly a little scary. Tito was so reactive that we had to warn anyone who came over, and we were constantly on edge. Beth stepped in and gave us not just hope, but actual tools that worked. She helped us understand Tito in a way we never had before, and the difference in him -- and in our home -- has been incredible. One thing I really want to emphasize is that almost all of the work we did with Beth happened in our own home and in our daily routines, not at her house. The time we spent at her place was very minimal, and was always very calm and controlled. The real transformation came from Beth teaching us how to communicate with Tito, how to read him, and how to guide him so he could feel safe. She always says dog training is 90% people training, and that was absolutely true for us. She taught us how to be better for him, and that's what made the biggest difference. Now Tito is a completely different dog -- relaxed, friendly, and able to enjoy our home without all the chaos and fear he used to feel. Friends and family can come over again. We can breathe again. And that's because of Beth. She didn't just train our dog; she changed the way we live with him, and we're so grateful for everything she's done for our family. read more

Beth is an outstanding trainer. She worked with my adopted 5-year-old, 80-pound Great Pyrenees mix who was extremely reactive to other dogs. Even simple walks had become stressful and exhausting. Beth made remarkable progress with him in a short amount of time. She gave me clear, practical tools and helped bring his reactions under control. Now I can walk my dog calmly and actually enjoy being outside with him instead of feeling anxious. I can't recommend her highly enough. read more

Lets not beat around the bush. 10 out of 5, hands down! Beth turned our reactive nightmare of a dog into an obedient walking companion in what felt like record time. Before working with Beth, walking Gambit was pure stress. He'd lunge at every dog, squirrel, jogger and even leaves. Anything that moved. I dreaded every walk and it got to the point where I was avoiding walks altogether, which wasn't fair to him or me. I felt like we were stuck in a vicious cycle and I was failing as an owner. Then I found Beth and from our consultation her approach was firm, clear, and incredibly effective. She didn't sugarcoat things and set expectations right away, and Gambit responded immediately. The transformation was FAST. I decided to take the basic obedience package and after the first session our walks are now genuinely enjoyable. What we like most is that Beth doesn't just train the dog she explains why every technique works. If you ask (and I did, a lot), she'll break down the reasoning behind her methods and the psychology, the timing, the consistency, so you understand how to maintain the progress yourself. It's empowering and makes the results stick. Her methods are firm but fair, never harsh, and always focused on building a better relationship between you and your dog. If you're on the fence, do yourself a favor and reach out to Beth. She's worth every penny and then some. Gambit and I are forever grateful. Beth gets a 10/5 from us--highly, highly recommend! (And yes, walks are now my favorite part of the day.) read more

Beth is the best! After failed YouTube training, I decided to look into professional training. So many places seemed the same, generic and not personal. After one session, my maltipoo is already walking much better with his attention on me and not other dogs! She is extremely sweet, understanding, and passionate about what she does. Highly recommend! The best investment you can make as a dog owner is having a well-trained dog! read more

Beth's K9 Training - My polite maltipoo - Pet Training Near Me - Fremont, California

Beth is amazing! My feisty chihuahua bit her on her first day and instead of jumping back or saying "nope! She's too agressive," she immediately worked my pup through her fearful aggression until she was settled enough to start her session (please mention if your pup may bite. Totally slipped my mind. Sorry Beth!). Beth talks you through what she is seeing in how you handle your dog and what to change and how. She explains why your dog is doing something, be it a good behavior or a bad one and quickly gets you on the right path. Beth had my dog ignoring scooters in a park by session 3! My dog hates anything with wheels! Let's be honest. She hates most things in her vacinity. Beth works at your pace and I never once felt rushed. Just like she said, she gives you the tools and knowledge needed to be a trainer yourself. Really, Beth is training YOU! I'm glad I chose Beth and her assistants Pickles and Stanford! Thank you Beth for your time and patience with me and my stubborn baby girl and for helping us with our confidence! I'd give 11 stars if I could! read more

Beth is just awesome!!! She helped me with the situation I was going on I adopted Wawa (corgi) 3 months ago being him 3 years old already with an obvious super bad behavioral issue. Wawa was extremely aggressive towards us my family members other dogs he was just an aggressive dog towards anything he cross in front of him, plus he had a horrible resource guarding with his food he was furious and aggressive when he was eating his meals nobody could be around him he would literally attack you! Adding all of this issues my that dog had, She save my dog Wawa I was about to surrender on him I didn't know what to do but until we meth Beth and she basically transform my extremely aggressive corgi to a totally different domestic dog in only 2 training sessions and one weekend that she took the brave decision on keeping him to address his aggressive behavior, when I pick up Wawa he was a transform dog, Wawa is a happy, smart, focused and obedient dog in my home with me and my wife now days we are so happy, Beth change our life's style with our dog when things were out of control. Beth's fix his horrible resource guarding food within 2 days he was aggressive towards his food she even said I never seen this before, I leave him a weekend and when I came back to pick him up all of that was gone!!!! Beth will not take the time to explain you about what she does with any type of dog it cross her way but also will take the time to explain everything that's is going on with your dog when I say this I'm talking about every detail and she will address it and together can fix it!!! She's awesome I have no words to thank her she will go above and beyond to train you to teach to train your own dog with the necessary tools read more

I cannot recommend Beth enough!! Our girl Milly was a bit reactive towards people and dogs on leash. We've been to other trainers but they weren't able to help us with her biggest issue, which was reactivity. We had our consultation and within the hour and a half or so she spent with Beth there was a massive improvement. We couldn't believe our eyes! Beth really took the time to explain her training methods and process. You can really tell how much she enjoys training/educating people and how passionate she is about dogs! We had one training session and by the end of the session Milly was walking past barking dogs, focusing on us and really responding. Beth was very supportive and encouraging through out the session. She talked us through every step of the way and made us feel comfortable throughout the whole process. Beth is AMAZING, she's literally a life saver. She exceeded our expectations and our family is sooo happy with the results! read more

I had such a great experience working with Beth! I came in needing support to build my confidence while handling my dog, Deuce, on my own. With her guidance, I learned how to feel in control and clearly establish myself as the one in charge. Beth gave me practical tools for managing challenging situations, like when Deuce would growl at other dogs or people, and helped me correct his habit of jumping up when I got home. Thanks to her expertise and encouragement, I feel so much more capable, and Deuce has made amazing progress! read more

When I got my puppy, Oreo, he was just three months old. He was a rescue and was just the sweetest thing and the smartest dog I've ever met. But whatever his story was before he came to me really started to come out around the six / seven-month mark. We couldn't go on walks without him barking at every single person we saw. He was terrified of all the other dogs. And probably the scariest behavior he exhibited was when he tried to aggressively bite our vet while they were trying to restrain him to take a sample. I was overwhelmed at the idea of taking care of him by myself - I couldn't ask other people to help out with him because I was really worried Oreo would be aggressive with them and maybe even hurt someone. After my consultation session with Beth, I was already blown away. She had him walking nicely on a leash within the first half hour (super important to me - I have a bad back), and I was able to start taking him on walks without him barking at every person we walked past by the time we left her house. Beth and I had a total of 6 sessions together, including a whole day where she day-boarded Oreo and worked with him on getting him to think before reacting. Long story short - he went full-on attack mode on a Dremel while trying to do his nails. Fast forward to today and I was able to do his nails on my own without him exhibiting any aggression. Oreo is a completely transformed dog today. He is an angel on walks, he ignores dogs barking in their yards when we walk past, he warms up to people more quickly, and he listens when he's told not to do something or to drop it. At eight months old, he has free reign around the house now (no more baby gates) and I really don't have to worry about him. He hasn't put his teeth on me in over a month and my vet can't believe how much better he was doing during our last visit. He even let us restrain him to look at a cut on his paw. We just started practicing off-leash walking in the neighborhood on our walk this morning. The greatest victory in my opinion is my nieces who are 9 & 10 visited last week and within the first day were proclaiming Oreo was the "nicest, sweetest, best boy in the world." Even my stepmom who has been attacked by a dog and is terrified of them met Oreo and thought he was so sweet and well-behaved. Beth was patient with me and Oreo, she was responsive to my needs and listened to my concerns, and she went above and beyond to make sure our goals were met. I was skeptical of some of the things we did up front (like using a prong collar) but I trusted the process and Beth - and I am so happy I did. I highly recommend working with her - your dog will thank you for it! read more

I saw Beth training at a park and I knew I wanted to work with her, it was nothing about what the dogs around her were doing or not doing. Beth reinforced the idea that good dog training is mostly human training with a few added tools. Before Beth, I wouldn't walk our dog much, there was lots of pulling and fear of her chasing a squirrel if I wasn't braced to avoid being yanked off my feet. After Beth, walking is so much more fun. Our dog is calmer at home and more cuddly. We even walked right past an off leash husky a few days after our first session with no problems! read more

I cannot say enough about Beth's training. We only had 2 sessions with her and it made such a difference. We wanted to continue, but she relocated. We tried looking for others and I just couldn't find any that would meet our needs. Those pet store training just won't work for a crazy Malinois. Hahaha. Beth is so great that when she is in town she would contact us to see if we wanted a session. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Hell yes!!!! 7 months later, she remembers us and we connect. She continued where we left off. It's such a good feeling to know we were doing things right and she helped us to also improve. Can't wait for our next session! read more

Before even going forward with Beth, I saw that there was a 1 star review (and the only non 5 star review by the way) and I immediately disregarded it. There are always 2 sides to every story, but since there was only 1 "bad" review and like a million other 5 star reviews, that just tells me that they may not be telling the whole story and perhaps trying to make Beth look bad for whatever reason. Anyway, now with my review: Beth has been so amazing!! I was completely blown away by how much she knows and I honestly thought my dog Canelo was completely hopeless. To give you an idea, my dog is a little dumb and clumsy sometimes (but then again, so am I) but he's a sweet dog overall. He is my very first dog and I thought maybe at his 5 years of age he might have trouble learning new things, but both he and Beth really blew me away. Before I got started with Beth, I heard about her services through a friend who has gone through her services before. I have never gone with any other trainer before, but I was already considering getting basic obedience training for my pup at some point. I decided to sign up for a consultation session because I figured I wouldn't have anything to lose and let me tell you - I am SO HAPPY I went forward with that consultation because I learned more about myself and why my dog reacts to certain things. Beth essentially explained to me that she isn't just training your dog, she more so is training the owner (she of course explains it WAY better); I can definitely confirm this being true because I realized that I inadvertently did certain things that made my dog react a certain way, so Beth pointing out things that I needed to change was extremely helpful. If it weren't for Beth, I'd probably continue complaining about how my dog just simply didn't like to do what was asked of him. I am so happy about getting her services and even though my dog is all trained up with what I initially wanted, I want to pursue further training. Beth not only is extremely helpful, but she is also very honest. She is NOT the type of person who only wants your money and doesn't care to go above and beyond to meet your needs. If you are comparing different trainers for your pup, please consider just going forward with Beth. She is very open and more than willing to explain everything in detail, so she really makes you feel comfortable, safe, and knowledgeable about her methods of training. If you are having any doubts, just read through all of these reviews and go to her website - it is very clear that she knows what she is doing. Her passion for what she does is very inspiring and I felt completely comfortable trusting her with my dog. She is the only person I have ever gone to for dog training and I couldn't be any happier; she is really great at communicating and seriously does not judge you for any questions you might have. In fact, I'm so happy that I created a Yelp account just to get the word out there! Tldr: Just go forward with Beth, you won't regret it!!! read more

Over the years, I have gone to Beth consistently for my dog training needs. She has trained three of my dogs. My first dog was my long-haired German Shepherd, Gunny who is in her videos on YouTube. My second dog was a long-haired German shepherd named Luna and she was three years old rescue. And my current dog is Voodoo a pudlepointer and he's a year and a half. I moved away to Paso Robles, but I still visit Beth about it every year for a refresher for my pup and myself. We are currently working on house manners, when I go out the front door he tries to bolt looking for a cat to chase. This dog is a little more work for me because he's my first puppy because the other two dogs I had were rescues were already adult. And he's got way more energy than I'm used to considering his working line of hunting. See by attached photos. read more

Beth is an awesome trainer. I'm at about 4 sessions and my dog is transformed. First off, she's expensive but so are all dog trainers. You'll see dog trainers offer 12 session packages with add on packages but Beth is different. She offers a 6 session, 2 week guarantee package. Which originally when she told me I felt like it was too good to be true. But even with just the consultation I saw a change in my dog. Because he is reactive I needed to continue but if your only issue with your dog is something like leash pulling you could walk out of the consultation and have the results you need. With all the things she has taught me I think i'll never need to go back to her. In other words, the 6 sessions I paid for will be all I need for my dog and if I get another dog I'll already have the tools to train them as well. I think most dog trainers (because it is their livelihood) have you continue training with them for weeks, months, maybe even a whole year which would add up to way more than what Beth charges. Secondly, Beth has A LOT of knowledge. First session i was a little overwhelmed because I have never needed to train any of my dogs so I had no experience. She will have a lot of information to share and she will remind you each session so you can process it. It will feel like a lot at first but keep an open mind and it will start coming together as you see the results. YOU MUST KEEP AN OPEN MIND. She is an expert and I decided to put my full trust in her. I ALWAYS thought prong collars were inhumane but I put my trust into her and she changed my mind. She has been training dogs since she was in high school, she knows what she is talking about. The prong collar is allowing my dog to go out more and he's happier for it. He's starting to get excited when I put it on him because he recognizes it as his opportunity to go out and explore. I don't have to confined him to my backyard and avoid people/dogs. Lastly, she's very responsive and very open. You can ask her silly questions that might be obvious and she won't make you feel dumb for it (other trainers sometimes do). She makes herself available through text in case a question pops up. I'm not sure how many clients she takes at a time but her response time is usually not longer that maybe a few hours max. Will update in a few weeks with hopefully some pictures of my dog (maybe off leash if we get there) :) read more

We now have two years of Beth's experience with our sheperd-malamute mix (Karma). Working with Beth was the single best move we ever made with Karma.

I HIGHLY purchasing Beth's collar for use during and after the initial training series. I cannot recommend Beth highly enough! read more

stumbled upon beth's response to my wife archana g's review given on jan 22, 2021. totally shocked at what beth has written in her reply!!!! blatant lies!!! Even if a million (actually 40 and a few) people gave a 5* review in an illustrious 20 years, our experience and trauma, which is genuine, should matter. Beth, just 1 question: did you not bring in untrained Malinois dogs to train our dog, made them bark aggressively at our dog? Knowing that you have not trained them yet to call off or let go, if they were to attack somebody? Is it the right practice? Beth says: There are 3 sides to everything: your side, their side, and the truth. HOPE THIS REVIEW AND THE SCREENSHOTS AND PICTURES I HAVE ATTACHED HELP ALL OF US UNDERSTAND THE TRUTH!!! I CAN ONLY HOPE! I SEE THERE ARE SOME BOUGHT REVIEWS HERE, WHO BEFORE ADDING THEIR REVIEW, FIRST COMMENTED ON HOW MY WIFE'S REVIEW SEEMS FAKE TO THEM. TO THOSE, I HOPE YOU AND YOUR DOG NEVER HAVE TO GO THROUGH WHAT WE AND OUR DOG WENT THROUGH. HOPE MY REVIEW AND SCREENSHOTS ATTACHED HELP YOU! she has the audacity to call this "review-turned-rant"!!!! and "this event was blown up out of proportion in this review" beth you forgot that you wrote on venmo to me as well. please check below screenshots! You should've removed those posts from your venmo account to my venmo account. maybe they are fake messages will be the next story you come up with. Beth's audacity to say "poorly written... if what they claim happened in this review, this would have been a review most would have written that night or the next day." When we write the review, doesn't change what happened. Poorly written!!! Are we in an essay writing competition or sharing our experience on Yelp? beth, we were taking care of a 35 lbs dog attacked by 2 70+ lbs untrained belgian malinois (you admitted this on venmo, please check). BETH, YOU brought THESE DOGS NAMED LURCH and STANFORD to train our dog MARBLE .... the 2 dogs were not trained themselves. see your venmo message to us in the screenshots i have attached. OUR DOG COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED THAT DAY BY THOSE 2 UNTRAINED DOGS! WHO YOU DID NOT TRAIN TO CALL OFF, BUT WERE USING TO TRAIN OUR DOG! she has the audacity to say this " i dropped by, unannounced, a scene completely disproving their claim about their trauma and their dog's mental trauma. i left their house, crying." WE DID NOT LET BETH INTO OUR HOUSE, HANDED THE LEASH TO HER OUTSIDE AND ASKED HER TO LEAVE. marble developed early incontinence due to this incident at the age of 6 yrs. she was on proin before and now is on proin + des. Our vet is Dr Anderson of Calaveras Vet. Please call them to verify. Or if you want I can provide the tests, diagnosis and prescriptions she is on. beth's audacity to say my wife's review is misleading: "not active yelp users are sorted by yelp's automated system, and are put in the misleading place called "not recommended" reviews." have the guts and the courage to admit your fault and stop calling our reviews misleading! CHECK IF I AM AN ACTIVE YELP USER..... I AM CERTAINLY AN ACTIVE VENMO USER, THANKS TO YOUR RECKLESS TRAINING PRACTICES. CHECK THE SCREENSHOTS I HAVE ATTACHED. her audacity to say " i called frequently to check up on her, and make sure everyone was ok and tried to be as supportive as possible." blatant lies!!!! pls ask beth to share her phone records. please check the screenshots from venmo of how beth was following up, only after we gave the review. Was mocking me for writing the review. trying to push money she lost, to me on Venmo, which i returned immediately. she should be publicly apologizing for being a reckless trainer, instead she wrote this reply calling my wife's review misleading and a rant. beth's audacity to say: but behind the scenes, i immediately took care of everything and made sure they were taken care of in every way possible, by refunding them their training costs, offering free sessions, and paying for the very small vet bill. We don't need your money to take care of our dog.. your concerns and apologies were fake, is evident in your reply to my wife's review. please check the screenshots of payments we are continuously making for vet, chiropractic, acupuncture, training, medicine bills. please feel free to reach out to jessica sandholm, dr. wong, dr. lina mccain, Calaveras Veterinary Milpitas. they are real people! we had forgiven and forgotten, dealing with all of these problems our dog had to and is still going through..... we are still so shaken that we brought the attack upon Marble by inviting Beth and her untrained dogs. would have let go of this..... but saw this audacious, self-proclaiming reply with shit load of lies!!!! to verify the truth, please contact me.... beth, don't bother apologizing, check the screenshots of your fake apologies. you should say it only if you mean it! we let you go and you maligned us for writing a genuine review of your poor, reckless training practices. read more

Beth is a straight forward confident, competent, safe, reliable trainer. My dog was very anxious and aggressive. She explained to me, not only how to change bad habits then stop all the undesirable behavior. I am a person with very high anxiety. So this life changing experience has made great impact and happiness and increased both quality of life for my dog and me . My dog is less agitated now and she is a very happy dog. Beth explains things in a way that is easy to do. I would encourage to get the best and she is! read more

This review is written on behalf of my mother - Miri, and her white German shepherd, Angus. She found Beth on YELP and was attracted to the fact that she trains police dogs. She also appreciates her methods of training...real-time settings and scenarios outdoors, and one on one. You can pick different areas and places to train your dog. For example, we want Angus to be comfortable in crowds, therefore most of our trainings are in larger crowds with several people and other animals (parks, neighborhoods etc). Beth is confident and upbeat and works well with all dog types. She equips you with all the tools you need to train your dog, but you need to put them into practice. 100% improvement after training with Beth. She is more expensive than your typical training, but this isn't your typical training. WORTH.EVERY.PENNY. read more

Beth is our go-to trainer for our 10 month old malinois. She has high standards and extensive experience building the foundation of obedience in puppies/dogs of all ages. Our puppy is well behaved and now learning intermediate to advanced training within 7 sessions. As many comments below attest, in the first consultation she'll usually show you what your dog needs work on. On top of that she'll tell you what mistakes YOU, as the owner, need to work on to get the results you want from your dog. Her methods are usually fairly simple and straightforward - but most importantly - they're highly effective. She can probably train any kind of pet in the Bay Area, but beware she has a serious background in training high level police and protection dogs. She accepts no nonsense; if you want your pet companion to be treated with kid gloves, she probably ain't the one for you. Nonetheless, if you want a highly obedient and respectful dog.. Or if your puppy/dog is having behavioral issues, I highly recommend Beth! She gets results. read more

I do not even know how to start this review. All I could say is that Beth is amazing at what she does! I have an Alaskan Malamute (Apollo) who is just over a year old and if you know a little about Siberian/Alaskan breeds, you could tell that my family and I were desperate for some training for our young pup! He was horrible at walks to the point where I (division I swimmer who lifts/swims everyday) was not able to control him at all! He was just dragging me around and pretty much taking ME for a walk and he was howling/whining all the time non stop!!. Fortunately I happened to hear about Beth's K9 Training and dear god I thank whoever told us about her because not only she was able to control Apollo in walks, she even told us and explain us everything from why does he whine or why does Apollo do things my family and I can't understand, the amount of knowledge & experience she has are incredible and I'm so glad I gave her an opportunity to work with Apollo. Nowadays my family and I are able to walk Apollo without any problems nor incidents, I look back and can't think about what I would have done without the proper training Beth gave us. Before deciding to go with Beth we checked the reviews and we saw the ONLY 1 star review she has and I could not help to ask about it and after hearing her side of the story I completely disregarded the 1 star review and chose her to be our trainer and I could have not been more happier with the results! (just remember there is always 2 sides of the story and clients will always try to take advantages of businesses like hers) :) Beth showed us the packages she offers and at first we were skeptical about the prices but after doing a practice session with her we were sure that she was the one we wanted and needed to the point we were completely agree with any price she gave us (trust me we don't like overpaying for things but she showed us the price is equal to the satisfaction you will get after completing your training with her and seeing your pup behave like you could have not imagine) My family and I are primarily Spanish speakers and we were nervous about the language barrier but that did not happen at all, she was super patient with us and explained things so clear that I did not even needed to translate in multiple occasions to my family!! So if you are hesitating because of the language barrier, don't be! She is super understanding and will help you get to your goal! She has so much knowledge, experience, kindness and passion over this cute creatures that I felt I wasn't giving enough to my pup! The way Beth communicates with canines is unbelievable, for a minute I truly thought she was speaking dog language by how well Apollo was understanding things! I could keep ranting about how exceptional Beth is but I would just be wasting your time. If you are truly interested in your dog's bond with you and want your pup to be the best of him/her. BETH IS THE ONE! THANK YOU BETH FOR EVERYTHING :) read more

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE, I would say her training style is good, but BECAUSE OF HER MISTAKE and MISJUDGMENT, we had to rush our dog to ER on a Sunday evening with multiple bite wounds. I WOULD NOT WORK WITH HER (ESP if she is using her K9 dogs during training). IF SHE CANNOT TRAIN HER OWN DOGS, HOW WILL SHE HELP US TRAIN OUR DOG? We were looking to train our 5 yr old medium size, for general door bell barking and barking on other reactive dogs on walks. We went to Beth and the consult went very well. We initially liked her style of training. One the 1st day of training (JAN 2, 2021 start of NEW YEAR), she came to our house for a in-house session. Firstly she brought 3 of her big K9 "IN TRAINING" dogs (9 month olds malinois). One she kept in our crate (which after she left, we saw it was soiled with dog vomit!!). The other two were in her car. The overall training was going well. Towards the end, she wanted to create a scenario using her other two dogs. That was to show how to train our dog when other reactive dogs are around. So we went outside, created a walk scenario where we were walking and she was holding one of her dogs and other was tied to a tree. Mind you those were BIG 9 month old MALINOIS (WHICH ARE STRONG DOGS). So we are walking and both her dogs are barking like crazy (based on her command to "ONLY BARK"). We reach closer to them and all hell gets loose. The one that was tied to the tree, GETS LOOSE, runs towards us and STARTS ATTACKING and BITING our dog. We were totally in shock, at how a trainer's dog will suddenly start attacking!!! Beth at that time was holding the other dog (which was also barking). She came to rescue and instead of rescue, that other dog also starts biting our dog. So now we have TWO BIG DOGS BITING OUR DOG (one towards neck and one towards lower back). IT WAS HORRIBLE, OUR DOG WAS CRYING IN PAIN LIKE CRAZY. AFTER about 2-3 minutes of this, my husband was somehow able to get our dog free from their bite. I grabbed her and ran towards our house. In that time, Beth got hold of her two dogs and put them back in her car. She came to us to check our dog was walking fine, and bleeding and stuff. Since our dog has curly hair, we could not see the bleeding that was happening. After she left, we examined her more and found bad DEEP BITE Wounds on her back and was bleeding bad. We immediately took her to ER and got her treated. Beth did take care of the medical bills, BUT the mental trauma this is causing us and our dog cannot be undone. ITS THE OWNER'S FAULT WHEN THEIR DOG BITES. SHE MISJUDGED HER PUPPIES, TO BE FULLY TRAINED BEFORE BRINING THEM TO A CLIENT FOR SUCH TRAINING. Its been 3 weeks since then, and NOW our dog is almost physically healed. BUT WE HAVE TO WORK EXTRA TO GET HER OVER THIS TRAUMA. TOTALLY THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT WE INITIALLY HAD PLANNED THE TRAINING FOR. read more

Working with Beth exceeded all of our dog training expectations. We couldn't have landed in better hands. We looked at training options for our adult 115 lb German Shepherd for months and even considered boarding him. After months we were thrilled to get some sessions in with Beth. She was our first choice after talking to several other trainers in the area for she was knowledgeable and experienced with aggression our dog was displaying towards strangers and other dogs. Short story short we learned so much in a short amount of time. We were provided the tools and knowledge to protect him, have him be in various situations under our command and I can finally walk him without being dragged. She has truly changed our lives. read more

Beth's K9 Training - Pet Training Near Me - Fremont, California

Beth's training has been utterly life-changing. I came to Beth for help with my nearly 2 year old 9lb toy Australian Shepherd, Toast. We had spent months training him with another trainer, who had been working on his reactivity to other dogs and also on his separation anxiety (after nearly 6 months we could leave him alone for about 8 minutes). When I came to Beth, I was completely exhausted from the lack of progress I had been able to make. I was due to go away for a couple of weeks and had hoped a board and train program would move things along. Beth does not do board and train, but she told me she preferred to do all of her training in a condensed period of time (about 2 weeks). read more

We took Beth's help in something unusual which was to use her trained dogs for search of our missing cat. Beth was very professional and clear about possible outcome that we may not be able to find our cat given his scent may not remain for that long ... it was about 5 days or so ... I would have given 5 stars if our cat was found ... read more

Beth is very patient and an expert dog trainer. She is also very generous with her time and sharing her knowledge/experience. She wants what's best for your dogs, but she is also people friendly, which of course is always nice read more

Beth is the real deal and an absolute wealth of knowledge for dog training, psychology, and health. In the consultation alone, she blew my mind with her personal dog and her handling of my dog. I had done a fair amount of research beforehand about training and tried my best, but after meeting her, I realized that I had not even scratched the surface of everything in the dog training world. She changed some of my misplaced, preconceived notions, educated me on different techniques, and changed my entire outlook. She's funny, keeps the session upbeat, presents everything in an easy-to-understand way, and most importantly: you can truly feel that she cares for you and your dog's success. When you get down a technique that she teaches you, it almost feels like you ARE a dog trainer...until the next session where she introduces new concepts and you are again, a student. Because of her, every time I take my dog out (which is everywhere I can, every day) I constantly hear "wow, your dog is so well behaved." One thing she said that stood out to me, is that "there is no such thing as a trained dog" and that has opened my mind to how every day is an opportunity to train. After completing her sessions, not only was my dog manageable and more polite, but there's infinite satisfaction that I (through her instruction) was able to train those behaviors. And everything you learn can be applied to your other/next dog, for the rest of your life - priceless. I recommend her whole heartedly. read more

An update to my training experience with Beth: The knowledge I took away from my training package with Beth gave me the ability to title my dog with the American Kennel Club, earning our Canine Good Citizen, Advanced Canine Good Citizen, and Urban Canine Good Citizen. The evaluators were shocked that I walked in with zero prep for CGC and aced it when Cassie was only 11 months, and she passed CGCA and CGCU with flying colors as well. Even months after our package, Beth had remained an invaluable mentor and resource -- always available to answer questions and offer insight, never too busy for a message back -- and I continue to see her as invaluable for our training journey. My dog continues to grow in confidence, obedience, and maturity due to the training principles Beth taught me. She's truly blossoming and is reliable in the presence of reactive dogs, reliable off leash, and we are enjoying freedoms that I never thought I could give her. If you're thinking about working with Beth, here's your sign to do it. She's the real deal, her dog sense is unparalleled, and her results speak for themselves. read more

Beth is a special breed of person who loves dogs to the point that she is willing to go above and beyond. My dog was a lot. And taking him to Beth put things in contacts the dog could understand. Beth stuck it out remained calm, neutral, and her love for dogs shine through the experience in which was quite the experience getting my dog to the point. He's at. Thank you Beth you did numbers for my family! read more

We had a great experience with Beth's training. We signed up for six one hour session and She was amazing from beginning to our last session. She offers a very personal one on one experience. Beth taught us a lot of beginning and plus advance training. She spent a lot of extra time on our dog to get our training right. We plan to sign up for more session soon. read more

If you read nothing else, just read this: If you are unsure who to trust with your dog's training, trust Beth! I have a VERY dog reactive German Shepherd. His aggression problems toward other dogs easily bordered, if not crossed, the line of dangerous. His behavior problems were impacting both his quality of life, and mine. I felt as though I could never leave the house with him, for fear of running into another dog. Even bathroom breaks left me fearful, and caused an intense amount of anxiety. When I contacted Beth, she told me she could do a consultation, and that I would see results by the end of that consultation. I was skeptical, because at this point, I have tried everything. I have actually worked with another professional training group in the Bay (with great Yelp reviews!), and spent well over $1k in training, to no avail. Nonetheless, the consultation was inexpensive compared to the thousands I've already spent, and Beth was available quickly and flexibly, so I figured, why not. Within one consultation, I saw more improvement in my dog's behavior than I had in months prior with other trainers. I came back, of course, and over the course of a few sessions with Beth, Nash is an entirely new dog. We go on walks, we go to the bathroom without fear, and we EVEN GO TO STARBUCKS. I remember calling my mom one Sunday morning, and seeing her shock when I said that I was sitting at a coffee shop with my dog. Just a month prior, she had visited and we had been practically hiding inside our home. My partner, too, was shocked at how quickly we've seen improvement. Often, it feels as though we have an entirely new dog- and our lives are that much better for it. read more

We hired Beth to help us train our dogs who had become territorial about other dogs on our property. She was able to work with our dogs and teach us to manage them with some of the tools she suggested (the prong collars were the most helpful). We were then able to have our daughter and her dog come and visit our house with no problems! We were really worried about how they would get along, but our dogs did well because of the training Beth provided and taught us! read more

I want to say first off Beth has TREMENDOUSLY been a huge help in training our boy,Maverick. She is truly the best at what she does. She not only trains your dog but trains YOU which is actually great! Just to give you some backstory on my pup. He's an 8 month old Australian Shepherd. He is very smart and learns quickly but can be bratty and distracted at times. Prior training he always pulled on his leash during walks, barked at strangers (mainly men) and NEVER listened when we would call him to come. After training, it is literally night and day when we walk him! He doesn't pull and stays by our side! He will come when he is called and he's even great at being off leashed. He is a completely different pup! I'm so thankful for Beth and 100% recommend her to anyone. If you're trying to find someone who has knowledge in what they do, loves dogs and people then choose Beth! I promise you won't regret it! read more

Beth was wonderful with our Lexi. We went in to see her for personal training. We have tried group training in the past and doesn't work out as well as 1on 1. She asks the right questions and teaches US how to continue our training. We have the utmost respect and trust in Beth's overall experience She has different plans to purchase and made it very easy. After our final training our Lexi is passing with flying colors! We personally recommend her for obedience training! read more

Beth is one of the best dog trainer I have ever met, she is very patient and professional. I have adopted a three years old German Shepard mix about a year ago. Brought her to see Beth about a year ago she never pushed her training on me because Yoko (my dog) dosent seem to have immediate behavioral problems, so we left. One year later I realized Yoko started to develop aggression towards other dogs while she is on leash, because I am eventually going to move back to the city I can't have her doing that, so I went back to see Beth. Long story short Beth taught me how to properly establish a healthy relationship with my dog and fixed the problem within 2.5 weeks. Of course all the training behaviors have to be fallow through from now on. It's not like a couple weeks and never train your dog situation, but I am glad that I found her and worked with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone else that are looking for a properly develop training session and a trained dog at the end. read more

Beth's K9 Training - Pet Training Near Me - Fremont, California

This review is long overdue -- I signed up for Beth's 3 month dog training and it was well worth the time and money. I highly recommend Beth to anyone who is serious about dog training and/or helping their dog overcome their behavioral challenges. What I loved most about Beth: - She is an expert dog trainer. She has a very thoughtful and effective training style and had a holistic training plan which we worked through during our 3 months together. Some of the issues we addressed were: general obedience, excessive whining, recall, and manners (jumping on people, etc.). - She has a very high bar for her dog students. My dog now is so well-behaved now and has improved more than I thought was possible. - Our training was so effective that we completed it within 2 months so we spent our last month on 'extra credit' fun activities like nosework training and socialization (horses, cats, loud noises) - She has an amazing ability to read and understand animals read more

Beth is a master at her craft. Her experience with animals started with horses, large animals that can kill you if you aren't careful. She can asses your canine's potential right away on how to approach their training. You will see the difference with just one training session! She makes it easy to understand her process, i feel safe with our dogs and the improvements show almost immediately! Highly recommended! Her job keeps your house pet to bomb detecting crime fighting K9's that saves lives. She takes her job seriously. You are in great paws! read more

Beth is wonderful! Very Proffesional, a good, kind person that wants to help and care about her clients and their dogs more than anything. I would definitely recommend her. read more

I want to say that I have tried different dog trainers for my two very big dogs, ( and I need to mention that one of my digs was at boarding training before - very bad experience!) and Beth is the only one who was able to control and teach me how correctly to handle my dods at the very first time - it wasn't even a training yet, just a consultation! Very, very impressive how she understands the psychology of the dogs, just by simple observation she is able to tell you what kind of training your dog needs - she doesn't apply her traning techniques the same way to all dogs, she knows exactly what every dog in her training needs to learn! She is accessing them every second diring the training, applying different approach! She puts her heart and soul not just in the training of every dog she trains, but also in the entire relationship between the client and their dogs to make sure you get the best training you can find. I would recommend her training to absolutely any dog parent who loves their dogs! read more

I tried several different trainers and wasn't happy. I was a novice at picking someone so it wasn't easy. I connected with Beth. She is great. I can't say enough. We discovered my dogs aggression during training and I thought I would have to get rid of my dog. Beth addressed this and my dog was listening after just 1 day. She video taped me to show me what I was doing wrong. I wasn't getting it. I have to use my big voice which doesn't come natural to me. lol I would hire her again in a heart beat. read more
