I went to see her for the CGC exam, and we went through all 10 parts. My dog did a great job with…read morejust a few prompts. She tried to nitpick a couple of things, but nothing major. The only part he couldn't complete was staying alone for 3 minutes with the evaluator--which, from my understanding, can be waived since he's my service dog. Then she claimed he failed three portions, which was simply not true. I was so upset I asked her to redo the test. She ran through everything on camera again, and he did great. Then she brought out another dog and started clicking while bringing it over--something no trainer should do. My dog gave a subtle growl but stayed in place. She jumped on that, said he failed, refused to continue the evaluation, and tried to push me into training with her. What a crook. If you use her, I promise issues will come up eventually. I paid $75 for that evaluation, and my dog passed the test with flying colors. WHAT A CROOK! FKIN SCAMMER. I thought I replied to her comment, but I sent her a message directly, so I am sharing with you what I said to her. Please work to uphold the integrity of the business: She contradicted herself, calling my dog sweet while claiming "aggression" was the issue. He passed every requirement except the 3-minute stay, which she refused to complete. Yes, he whined, but the entire interaction felt off from the start. Thank you for the refund, but it was well deserved. The whole process was shady--you were clearly ready to fail him. Completely inappropriate.

My 11-month-old dog, Bingo, wrapped up his adult 6-week board and train program at Ohana K9 Academy…read moretoday, and I have nothing but great things to say about my experience. My dog is not just a pet, he is part of our family, so the thought of him being away from me Monday through Friday with strangers and only home on the weekends was absolutely nerve-wracking. The staff and owner, Bo, made this a great experience for both me and my dog. They explained every step of the process, shared daily updates and pictures, and provided excellent care for him while he was there. Bingo learned so much during this training program and has made tremendous improvements. I am more than satisfied with the services provided by Ohana K9 Academy. It was by far one of the best investments I could have made for my dog. I was so impressed that I have already recommended them to friends and family. I plan on scheduling more advanced training sessions for him in the near future, and I already have some daycare and boarding days scheduled. If you are considering training for your dog, check them out. You will not regret it!

His experience and genuine care for the dogs shone through in every video, photo, and daily report we received. He was very thorough and made sure we felt confident with the training before sending us home. The difference in our dogs was absolutely incredible--they went from stubborn and untrained to very well-behaved. Thanks to Elias and the training we received, we can now take our dogs out in public with ease. They're responsive to the learned commands and well-behaved, making outings enjoyable for everyone. Whether it's a walk in the park or a visit to a friend's house, we no longer have to worry about their behavior. It's such a relief to see them listen to commands, and interact calmly and respectfully with other dogs and people. The transformation has been truly remarkable, and we're so grateful for the newfound freedom this has brought us. Elias's skills are unmatched, and we highly recommend Off Leash K9 Training, especially if Elias is available. Thank you, Elias, for your dedication and support, we are so excited to continue applying what we've learned!!!!!

He has also shown increased socialization skills with other dogs and people. Your Pro Dog Trainer even followed up with us regarding our pup's transition upon returning home. I highly recommend them.

From our very first session, it was clear that Renee has a remarkable talent for connecting with dogs and understanding their unique personalities. Renee Cardoza utilized positive reinforcement techniques that made learning enjoyable for our pup and we saw remarkable progress in a very short period of time. Not only did our pup master essential commands and manners, he also became more confident and socialized. Renee provided us with valuable tips, both during our training sessions and in a follow up weekly email that included a review of our session, a review of the strategies for our "homework", and video links to illustrate the data's lesson. Impressive! Renee has empowered us to further the learning at home. We highly recommend Renee to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate dog trainer!
