I was really struggling with whether we could keep my rescued young female Chocolate Lab long term…read more Maya had way too much energy and was really just wild! She couldn't get along very well with our other 2 dogs as she really just had no manners and didn't understand social cues. She had such a hard time settling down in the evenings and would bark for hours from her crate. We just didn't know what to do. I was at my wits end! Then I called Farren at Board N Behave. I really just wanted to board her while my husband was out of town but the more I spoke with her and came to understood her insight and experience with other dogs like Maya I decided to have the training sessions as well. It was the best decision for my dog I could have ever made!! No more destructive behavior, settled at night and gets along great with the other dogs. No more pulling on the leash either. The best part is that she is now a joy to be around, cuddling with us on the couch or relaxing on the porch. Dog training is not cheap, but it so necessary, especially when you have behavioral issues. Thank you Farren! You are absolutely amazing!!!

I was referred to Farren at Board N Behave by a friend, and I'm so glad I reached out! From our…read morefirst call, Farren was professional, knowledgeable, and truly listened to my concerns. My Chinese Crested, Hooper, had previous training but was still struggling with reactivity and socialization. I appreciated that Farren didn't push an expensive board and train--she assessed Hooper personally and offered private sessions that fit my budget. After just one session, I already saw progress. Over five sessions, both Hooper and I were trained--because we all know training the human is just as important! A month later, I adopted another dog, Bodie, and brought both pups to Farren's daycare to continue Hooper's socialization. We also did additional public training sessions, which were incredibly helpful. Hooper is now more confident and manageable! Farren has also been working directly with Bodie, helping him learn basic obedience and improve his behavior--especially with things like staying safely in the car instead of bolting into the street. His progress has been amazing. Farren is not just a great trainer, but also understands dog behavior on a deeper level. Her facility is clean, organized, and I fully trust leaving my dogs in her care. I highly recommend Board N Behave for training, daycare, and/or boarding!

The transformation we've seen in Baku has completely exceeded my expectations, and I honestly couldn't be more proud of him. From the beginning, Alex was patient, knowledgeable, professional, and clearly dedicated to helping Baku succeed. Seeing everything Baku has learned and how much more focused, confident, and disciplined he has become has been incredible. I was genuinely amazed seeing him follow commands and demonstrate everything Alex taught him. It felt like I was looking at a completely different dog! You can truly see the time, patience, and effort Alex put into working with Baku. Knowing that Baku was in good hands throughout his training made the entire experience even better. I'm beyond proud of my Baku and so grateful to Alex for helping bring out the absolute best in him. Seeing how far he has come is such an amazing feeling. I would 100% recommend Off Leash K9 Training, and especially Alex, to anyone considering training for their dog. The results truly speak for themselves! Thank you, Alex, for everything you did for Baku! We couldn't be happier with his progress.

Look no further! Ryan and Limitless Dog Training is the place to take your dog for expert training…read more Ryan is a master at training both your dog and you. Our Golden Retriever puppy, Maple, was out of control with biting, destroying everything from her blankets, her toys, our backyard landscape, and even the walls and base molding around the house. We tried to take her on walks but she would pull us around the neighborhood, and every little distraction scared her to death. We've owned four other Goldens in the past and never experienced this kind of wild behavior. Then came Ryan... he assured us that this behavior could be corrected with the right leadership, so we signed up for his two-week boot camp experience. The two weeks seemed like forever but when he brought her home she was our same familiar Maple but oh what a difference in her demeanor and behavior. Then Ryan followed up with us a week later and he reviewed with us all of our challenges that we were still experiencing. We quickly realized the problem wasn't Maple, it was us. Lots of little details like how to properly sync the electronic collar with the clicker, and keeping our finger on the clicker button so that we could engage it in a timely manner, etc. Once we got the hands-on training that we needed, Maple has transformed into a sweet, calm and well-behaved Golden Retriever. Thanks Ryan for your expertise and your expert training techniques. Ryan really understands how to train your dog in a positive manner so that you can reward their good behavior instead of reacting to the dog's misbehavior. Now we're looking forward to our weekly Saturday morning park instructions with several other dogs and all kinds of normal distractions that Maple will have to deal with when we take her out for walks, fun and play. Ryan, you are amazing! Thank you so much.

5 stars! We've already completed our puppy Violet in a 2 week tailblazer off leash board & train…read moreand one still in progress with personal sessions and already very happy with progress. I searched for months not sure when or who to pull the trigger with for starting training, pored through reviews, some referrals on local groups that seemed a little too good to be true to trust, etc. One of my 'final' ones was going to be Epic but I was worried we'd just be a number there when we had a pretty complex situation. So I found Kona Loca, saw that Christienne was her own small business, had good reviews here but also under her name at her time at the previous place, and decided to go for it. I don't regret it at all!! Christienne is great! She's very friendly, explains behavior concepts very well, does not provide judgment, and she absolutely knows what she's doing. I wanted to stick with her for my very anxious/incredibly insecure rescue dog because she has her own dog with similar characteristics. I initially wanted board and train for both my dogs, but she assessed the insecure one and suggested personal 1:1 training at home and community that might be more effective. If she was all about just the $ she could've just agreed with my push to board and train and I really appreciated that. Our 1 year old pit/staffy puppy Violet (love her) was kind of a nightmare. Constantly aggravating our adult dogs, barking and patrolling, no manners in any sense, just some basic commands *sometimes*. She did the 2 week off leash tailblazer with Bert and we can't even believe she's the same dog. This may be obvious but we NEVER would've considered taking her somewhere like the park or beach even on leash before because she was a headache, and now we can walk her off leash and trust her! She has a working mentality now and it exhausts her every single day so she is generally calm and chill after we work with her (just small training sessions doing her commands in the yard). Bert was excellent and provided text, photo, and video updates everyday, he is very friendly as well and gave us a very in depth training session once she came back home. He also followed up to ensure things were going smoothly and to see if we had any questions. Highly recommend and have personal experience with both Bert and Christienne and will continue recommending!

Above amazing dog training! If you want a dog that is trained and no dilly-dallying to get there…read moreVINCE is the trainer you NEED! I personally am a certified dog trainer for a large pet store and while they are amazing for the basics I wanted a more expert opinion when it comes to more extensive dog training. I have a 4 year old Maltese who I've self trained as a a psychiatric service dog. Nacho is wonderful very well mannered, but has always had a bit of his own anxiety. Since I'm up to date on lots of training methods and I wanted his advice personally, he agreed to doing a private session with me. I brought everything for the session, his fancy FI dog collar that tracks him, his working vest, short lead, distance lead, his e-collar and of course treats. I told him that the e collar training I've done with him is modified as I don't have one that shocks only noise and vibration. He said while he gets results almost immediate with a classic e-collar conditioning, he is willing to do whatever I am most comfortable with. Nacho has off leash recall but only conditioned with the vibration, and because he's only 7 pounds and I got the most lightweight vibration collar I modified it to be on the back of his harness which works perfect. Again Vince will only do whatever you're comfortable with and better yet he'll explain the reasoning of how each training tool is used and why it works. While I know Vince could have gotten my dog to do 4x as many commands in the time frame that we spent working, it was more important for me to learn what he was preaching and my god was it amazing! Everything started to click and make sense which gave me so much more confidence in myself and my boy Nacho. I can tell he has had many years of experience and if I ever have any more concerns or questions I will happily put money down to see him again. Any dogs that I come across that need behavioral help will be going his way. While it can be pricey it is so worth it! Take the time to get his advice and opinion it's well worth it! Thanks again Vince for helping me with Nacho! We appreciate it immensely!

She had taken care of my dog and cat several years ago and when I hired her for a 3 week stay I was confident that they and my home would be well cared for. First, when I returned my home was filthy (despite the fact that I had housekeepers the week before) . The countertops in the kitchen was not clean, the floors (all laminate easily mopped) were stained and dirty, and her long hair was all over the floor in my bathroom (which she wasn't supposed to use). My housekeepers then advised that when they were there the living area was full of feces (pictures taken) -- much more than a small dog could have produced in several days. She was to administer an ear medicine on my dog and altho it appears she did, her ear was so greasy that the groomer had to cut quite bit of her beautiful long hair as it was too matted. Jennifer was to walk my dog 1-1.5 miles every day. After all this I decided to check my ring camera. At no time did she take her out for more than fifteen minutes. Impossible to walk that distance in the short period of time. No wonder the dog pooped in the house. The long haired cat was well groomed but that is the only positive thing I can say.
