I would not recommend this company. I hired this company…read morewith one goal in mind and the person that came out (I think he was the owner) had convinced me that he could do what I asked of him for my dog Bogey. At the time I hired this company for training, Bogey was 16 months old. I'm not expecting Bogey to be Lassie or anything close, and I'm not blaming the trainer or any of his employees for Bogey's behavior.  A little bit of background on Bogey. He was traumatized by someone when he was 6 months old while at a doggie day care.  Bogey and my son-in-law, who my dog used to get along great with, changed after the incident at the day care. My daughter and son-in-law were there to watch the presentation for the training company. The trainer saw Bogey's reaction to my son-in-law, obvious signs of fear and apprehension, and convinced us he could change Bogey's behavior. My daughter and I signed up with this company, feeling assured the trainer could change this behavior in Bogey. It was a $2700 investment combined. Due to Bogey's reaction to my son-in-law, my main concern was to get help in changing this behavior and stressed this concern with the trainer. Unfortunately the sessions seem to only focus on sitting, staying and placing. Honestly, I became frustrated with them only "training" me on how to teach Bogey how to sit, stay etc and NEVER addressing the reason I hired them. This is what caused me to quit going to there "group lessons". I felt it was truly a waste of my time and apparently not a concern of their's either, having paid $2700 for a lifetime of training. In addition, no effort has been made on their part to reach out to me to find out why I quit going. Now that I am living with my daughter and her family,  Bogey is traumatized throughout the day. When he sees my son-in-law, who works from home, he will hide behind furniture and won't socialize with other family members. This behavior only happens around my son-in-law. Bogey is so fearful he will urinate in the house and has even done so on my granddaughter.  I can't afford to hire another trainer now and am questioning if this company lacks concern for their clients or possibly it's a lack of knowledge on how to properly train a dog with behavioral issues. This has put me in a difficult situation and I now have to decide whether to let this trauma continue daily, not what I want, or find a new home for Bogey, which I also do not want. That's no life for any family member. So if you're looking for someone to teach you how to say "sit", "stay" or "place", this may be the company I would recommend but I feel that they may be limited in their training skills. If you're looking for a company that will follow up with you, you might want to keep looking for someone that cares about results and accomplishments. There were many other things that showed lack of attention on their part but the one thing I was hoping for never was addressed even when I brought it up. They either lack the skill to train out behavior issues or they simply don't care. If you look at their own post on Facebook, their only focused is on sit, stay and come. No mention of training out negative behaviors. No success stories about other training issues.

We found Maynard after a midnight uphill chase where our dog Misu almost ran away into the…read moremountains during a potty break. That was the moment when I learned that the leash was only a safety net, but a healthy relationship with our dog would be the ultimate protection from unfortunate accidents. Maynard came in at the right moment with the right tools (and philosophy!) to help us develop exactly that. Not only did we improve the recall command, Misu also learned to walk off leash. He used to pull on the leash so hard that an adult would trip trying to walk him. A couple of months in, we became confident in our toddler walking him. Maynard was professional, patient, and caring to both furry students and their families. With Maynard's coaching methods, we felt seen and supported whenever we ran into hiccups and new challenges. Highly recommend!

Bryan was referred to us by a co worker that also had great results with their dog…read more Our dog was 1.5 years old, so still had some puppy in him, but he has anxiety that causes his mindset to be very difficult to train, so we called Bryan. We had an introductory meeting and felt very comfortable. He walked through his 3 week and 5 week board and train options and what to expect with each. We chose the 5 week program which trains him to basic commands on AND off leash. It was super difficult to hand over our dog for 5 weeks, but as difficult as it was, I can honestly say it was worth it. Simply put, it was life changing for us. Bryan provided weekly updates and videos so we could see how our dog was doing and help us get over missing him. Our dog still has his silly personality, but is now controllable on and off leash. Bryan was able to improve his mindset so not only does he obey commands, but has learned to relax. I cannot recommend Bryan more highly.

My family and I decided to have a pup in our life. We found our perfect pet at Priceless Pets and…read moreadopted him. Love at first site. He is a Chocolate Lab As a puppy he was great. As the year went on, it was increasingly difficult to train him and he was just overpowering the kids. He didn't realize his own size and just wanted to play so much, but in playing, he would knock over the kids and it lead to most of his day needing to be spent in his crate. He had so much energy after getting out that he would pull constantly and just be his own dog. My spouse and I decided to look for help. We looked everywhere and vetted big business to small business. This was a very long process and somehow stumbled upon this page. I was very intrigued by a lot of the previous reviews. Almost too good to be true reviews. Eventually Contacted the owner (Bryan) and we had a good conversation. Started with questions about the dogs personality, what the goal and objective was, and how to get there. I don't want to go into too much detail because that conversation was so refreshing. I knew from that convo that Bryan was a true dog lover and trainer. Not someone just trying get the $$$$ After the conversation, we had a meet and greet and that went even better than the phone conversation. Bryan went into great detail the steps in what the board and train entails. My spouse and I were immediately invested. Both for the family and the happiness of our dog. We wanted happiness for everyone. We scheduled the time for the board and train (Took the 4 week option). We felt this was the best option for our family and our dog. It was an investment in our family and I wanted the best So now it's time to drop off Rufus. It was weird not having him in our home but knew it was for the best. Bryan again gave great detail into all the steps and what would happen during the 4 weeks. Each Friday for the 4 weeks we would get a private YouTube link on everything Rufus learned and his progress. Within the first week, he was a completely different dog. I've never seen him listen so much on the video. Those videos are all self explanatory so I wont get into those details either. Just know that they are very well detailed videos and you wont help but smile on your dogs progress Each week was upped to the next level of the defined training and it was a joy watching all the changes that have been made. As the weeks crept up to us getting Rufus back, we were excited with anticipation. On the day of pickup, we went through our own owner training with Bryan. Got very detailed with what we needed to do and how to continue the training for the rest of his life. It ended up being really fun. Rufus has now been home for a week and he his fully integrated to the home. He has a special place in our living room. The kids are happy they can play with him and pet him. Rufus is all smiles, droll and tail wags. This was indeed life changing for our family. Also Side note, Bryan made himself available for Boarding as well. We have been using the boarding services before and after the board and train. Experience was way better than any dog hotel I've used in the past for extended family trips. Bryan was the most genuine when it came to his business. You can tell he loves what he does. That's how I knew this was the place to go. I highly recommend. Also, even though board and train has been completed, he still checks on us after. He will be available for the life of the dog. Def cant go wrong with that

I love the question she asks, how she approaches each dog, and how she only uses positive reinforcement to guide the training. The quality I admire the most in Barbara's training is her ability to meet the dog where it is at.  If the task being asked of a dog is too hard for the dog to successfully complete, she finds a way to scale it back so the dog and the family working with dog can succeed. Barbara brings an optimism backed by her vast experience to each training session and she always takes the time to evaluate the dog so she's able to create an effective training regimen. I've been lucky enough to work with Barbara in person and on Zoom and both platforms are effective.   My current dog, Molly, had a bite history before she came to me in 2022. Thanks to Barbara, Molly and I have established a solid relationship based on trust and communication around food (especially her food bowl) and we have not had any incidents. In addition to the resource guarding, Molly also lacked impulse control and had no frustration tolerance at first...she was 7 years old when I got her so Molly's behaviors were deeply ingrained in her by then. It is only because of the work and learning we did with Barbara that Molly and I have been able to develop an amazing relationship. People we meet are always surprised to hear that Molly was anything but the perfect well-rounded companion by my side that they see. I trust Barbara to help me, and any dog get from point A to point B, regardless of the issue at hand. Hire this woman or anyone who works at BADDogs, Inc!

I highly recommend InsideOut Dog Training and George, the trainer. It's been about 7 months since I…read morecompleted the level 1 group training with George and I figure it's time to leave a review! I adopted a 1 year old terrier mix from Mary S. Roberts and took advantage of their discounted training rate. I like to say my little one had NO manners. She was exhibiting a lot of concerning behaviors that you can't discredit come with adopting a rescue dog. We already had a 4 year old husky with us that we've had since he was a puppy, but that didn't stop the terrier from coming into the house like she was the owner. She was very anxious and scared and it seemed to be reflected in her trying to be dominant and somewhat aggressive with our dog and visitors to the house. It was a defeating feeling that first month before I was able to get her into training. She nipped, barked, was always afraid, would freeze when I would leave the house, and couldn't be left alone. I really want to thank George because he is so good at recognizing dog behaviors and probably more important, human behaviors with their dogs! The class setup was only about 6 people, enough to learn from others but also not so big that any dog didn't get the attention they need/deserve. George taught ME some dog behaviors and traits and I've been able to extend what he taught during the class to outside of the classes to better train my dog. I think the most important thing he taught me was to pay attention to how I'm reinforcing certain behaviors, because we are reinforcing (positively or negatively) whether we know it or not. Now my dog is so much more confident and excited to follow directions since we finished training. Everyone who met her when I first got her has noticed and mentioned the positive shift in her mannerisms and personality since training. I wish they had more training levels available because I would happily join another group lesson with George!

If you're looking for a dog trainer in the Inland Empire, we can't recommend Jason from Inside Out…read moreDog Training enough! We rescued a dog who had extreme leash reactivity. We shopped around and talked to several trainers and they all wanted to do a boot camp situation. Jason could have pushed for a board and train/boot camp option but he let us know that doing private lessons (very affordable when purchased as a package) would give us the best results for taking care of her issues. We appreciated that Jason didn't push for the highest cost option and wanted to give us the skills to work with our dog and her problems in normal day to day life out in the "real" world. He's always been really patient with all our questions and has been more than happy to field questions about our other dogs and things we can improve on with them outside of working with our "problem" dog without asking for additional compensation. As I said, if you're looking for a dog trainer who cares about your dog, uses positive reinforcement methods and gives you the skills to make your dog the best they can be then Jason is your guy. He does private and group training several times a week at Mary Roberts Pet Adoption Center. I almost forgot to mention that he posts videos that reinforce lessons you get in person.

We boarded our two dogs for the week of June 28 with the expectation that they would be well cared…read morefor while we were away. Unfortunately, our experience was deeply disappointing and upsetting. The facility advertises that "if concrete pens are not for you, then this isn't the place for you." In reality, what we experienced went far beyond that disclaimer. When we picked up our dogs or rather, when family had to retrieve them because we no longer felt comfortable leaving them there one of our dogs appeared noticeably dehydrated and in poor condition. It was heartbreaking to see. We became concerned that our dogs were being confined to cages for the majority of the day. When we asked the owners to provide any proof or documentation showing that our dogs were not kept in cages all day, they refused to provide anything. The attached text message exchange reflects that interaction. Our concerns became serious enough that we made arrangements for family members to pick up our dogs early rather than leave them at the facility for the remainder of our reservation. No pet owner should feel compelled to cut a vacation short or scramble to find someone to rescue their pets because they have lost confidence in the care being provided. To make matters worse, I had to argue with the owners to receive a refund for the unused boarding days after our dogs had already been removed from their care. A refund for services not provided should have been offered without hesitation. I cannot recommend this boarding facility based on our experience. We entrusted them with members of our family and were left feeling misled, frustrated, and deeply concerned about our dogs' well-being. Pet owners deserve transparency, compassion, and confidence that their animals are receiving appropriate care. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. Please don't take your pups here. They deserve better!
