Putting 5 empty coke cans in a small plastic bag and shaking the bag IMMEDIATELY stopped his lunging and jumping up!!! He sees the bag and his 4 feet stay on the ground. AMAZING results. No jumping or lunging or play biting last 12 days!!! Thanks Joanne.

Highly, highly recommend Say It Once Dog Training! We have used them for our two pups with trainers…read moreDonna & Michelle. They were both wonderful and really took the time to explain each of the dog's behaviors - the how & why. After your first in home visit, you're able to take your dogs to group classes which are held all over the city & suburbs. These classes are awesome for our reactive dogs - it gives them the exposure they need in a controlled environment. I have never been made to feel embarrassed or bad about my dog's behavior which I have experienced at other training organizations -- that is why we hired them! I really feel that I have a strong support system with Say It Once. While we (my fiancé & I) need to stay on top of training on our own, our dogs show so much progress each training sessions. Love Say It Once!!!!

We have been members here for many years. With both of my dogs, I started with puppy socialization…read more(both earned the AKC Star Puppy designation!) and family manners classes before getting into some fun things like agility and, while it was offered, flyball. My dog Noah is very quirky. Knows how to do all the agility obstacles; varies from day to day on whether he feels like cooperating. Isaac, meanwhile, can be very shy with new people and situations. Their instructors are so kind and patient with them, as are all of their classmates. We have such a wonderful, encouraging atmosphere here! You can either take a one-off class (a session lasts seven weeks) or keep coming and apply to become a member, which involves a yearly membership fee and doing some volunteering for the club a couple of times a year, and your class fees are much less. There is a great variety of classes; a very nice facility with two large rooms and outdoor potty facility; safe equipment and floors; and committed instructors with many years of dog experience who want to help you succeed.

Jen has been my pet sitter for over ten years now. Before I plan any vacation I make sure that she…read moreis available to watch my cats because I know they are in good hands with her. Jen will send me a daily text with updates on how the cats are doing and always sends pictures. She understands the personalities of my cats and treats them in ways that make them comfortable. It's such a relief to know they are really being cared for. Jen is also very knowledgeable about animal health and well-being. She is certified in pet services and continues to stay up to date on animal welfare topics. I am planning on taking her pet first aid and CPR class this fall. Jen will always be the first person I recommend for anyone looking for a pet sitter.

I had such positive training experience with Paw & Order. They help me understand a lot of how to…read moreeffectively communicate with my teenage pup and supported me to safely use tools and better understand them. They have a safe environment and trainers that are able to provide my pup socialized skills, clarity in communication and time that I wasn't able to provide him with. Elissa is so kind, patient and very supportive. Honestly, all their trainers are so passionate about dogs, they care about them so much and advocate for the dog's success, they will all help you to become a better and responsible dog parent. I LOVE that they help me strengthen the bond with my beloved one and there for me all the way through (super responsive!) My pup came home more confident, focus and happy. He is now a proud CGC pup, were able to enjoy our outings safely together and have a great start to discover all the adventures life throws our way. The best part is that we will have their support for life, join the community and learn about more training to bond our relationship in a healthy way. The upsetting part was that I wished I had known and started with them and not waste my money on other trainings prior! I'm definitely coming back here when I get my second dog. It's SO worth it.

Our older dog was being very aggressive towards our new puppy, to the point where we were worried…read morewe would have to give the new puppy away. We tried multiple dog trainers, none of whom were really able to make much of a difference. We finally contacted Crystal at Stellar Pets after finding her name on the official list of certified behaviorists, and she was able to completely fix the problem within two sessions. She is extremely positive with the dogs, and you can see the changes in behavior almost immediately. One of the biggest differences I noticed between Stellar Pets and the other places we tried was that Crystal was the only one who actually customized her behavior training to the specific personalities of our dogs. I highly recommend Stellar Pets!

Kate is a great dog trainer! We worked with Kate because our beagle was very disobedient and would…read moreonly follow his nose instead of our commands. She was able to quickly identify the things we were doing that were not working and teach us how to better communicate to our dog. Our beagle also had a lot of aggression with towards other dogs, so we thought. Kate arranged one of our sessions at her friend's house so that her friend and her large German Shepard could stand outside while we worked with our beagle's reaction. Kate immediately saw that our beagle was actually very fearful of the other dog and that what was causing his reaction. Within fifteen minutes we were walking down the street side by side with the German Shepard and its owner without my beagle flipping out! Kate offers sessions in the client's home at a reasonable price. You can pay per session or buy multiple sessions for a discount. As owners of a stubborn, yet oh so cute, beagle, we found our five sessions with Kate to be extremely valuable. We will use what we learned everyday of our lives as dog owners.
