Genie is an exceptional human, in addition to being a fantastic dog trainer! She has greatly improved my life, with my sometimes challenging dog. Her kindness, and philosophy of using only positive reinforcement, is exactly what I had hoped for. My dog is very special and important to me, and Genie treats her with great compassion and care. I have learned so much from Genie. She is a pleasure to be around, she has great integrity, and she is fun to be with. I consider meeting Genie, a great blessing in my life, and I would highly recommend her as a dog trainer. Genie is a generous, professional, trustworthy, caring, talented person! Thank you, Genie! read more

I highly recommend Genie! We have done both group training and one on one training with Dog Genie and she is absolutely the best! Last year we got a very active puppy and we needed help. Now we can take her with us anywhere we go and she does great! We rescued another dog a couple months ago and he had separation anxiety. He is much better than before. Genie taught us the skills we needed. Thank you Genie for the help with both our dogs. read more

Genie is fantastic. I'm a dog-walking volunteer with a dog rescue and I've had an opportunity to attend several training sessions with various local dog trainers... Genie is hands-down the most effective. She is positive reinforcement only and really understands dog behavior. The tools she gives you can be used in various situations with all different dogs... Example: Our current rescue pittie used to hang under the dinner table to gobble up toddler food scraps (a no-no for a dog with IBD!). We started leashing her and giving treats across the kitchen for a week or so, and now during meals she just heads over to her spot by the fridge, gets a little cookie, and goes right to sleep! No punishments, no yelling. Just set up to succeed with positive associations. Love you Genie!! read more

I took my five month old Coton De Tulear puppy to the classes after signing up for the basic beginner training program and I am pleased I did. The classes were well planned and well run and attended by owners of several different dog breeds all of similar age to my puppy. The classes were held outside and included the very basic commands of sit, stay, come, fetch and walking on a loose leash without pulling. There were more advanced programs also offered which unfortunately I could not attend due to other commitments. Genie and the other members of her team were always very attentive, polite and professional with lots of patience and personal instructions, also all of the dogs seemed to enjoy each others company. read more

Genie is a wonder! After bringing home a puppy just before the COVID-19 pandemic, I knew I had to get just the right trainer for Patch's first socialization. Genie is just such a trainer. I am so happy to have found a trainer with Genie's methodology. She employs the clicker method and uses only kindness and positive reinforcement to help you train your dog. All the dogs in the class just loved her! She trains you to build a positive working relationship with your dog so you can work together. At the end of the course you will have all the tools necessary for a happy, well behaved pet. Patch is already signed up for the next level of training. Thanks, Genie! read more

Genie is amazing! She is very knowledgeable and was so helpful to us as brand new dog owners.

Dog Genie - Pet Training Near Me - Camarillo, California

Genie is the best of the best. I can't speak enough praise for her and the work she does. Her passion and love for animals exude through everything she does. She really is a genie when it comes to animals. We have done both her basic and intermediate skills courses, as well as private training. She is always incredibly kind, patient, and thoughtful. Our dog was a particularly difficult case, but she took the time to help us find a solution. She went on message boards, Facebook groups, and podcasts to try to find any information that could help us with our problem. Eventually, through a lot of trial and error guided by her, she was able to fix our unfixable dog. Genie is fabulous at what she does, and her positivity is infectious. I recommend her to anyone with a dog. She is simply the best. read more

We are so stoked we found Dog Genie! My boyfriend and I weren't the most knowledgeable about dog training in the slightest since it had been years since we had our own dogs. We brought our one and half-year-old pup, Lasso, to Genie's group classes, and what we got out of it was invaluable. Not only do we have the tools/skills to keep up with training him at home, but going to the classes themselves were so much fun. I really appreciated the energy of everyone in the class, and of course, our leader Genie was just awesome. So kind, helpful, and overall a good time. Lucy, you rock too! I am thankful to have had a pro guiding us, giving tips as we practiced in class, and making it feel so much easier to work on training during our own time. Very much hoping we get to run into Genie again and keep up with getting Lasso into tip-top shape. He's gonna be the best-behaved pup after all of this. Thank you, Genie! You're rad! P.S. Lasso sends lots of happy tail wags :) read more

Dog Genie is fabulous! I've worked with Genie with a couple of fur balls that needed some specialized help. Most recently is Keara - a 3 year old fierce little furry rescue who just loves people... but other dogs not so much, as we found out soon after getting her home from the shelter. I didn't think twice about going to Genie's for private sessions to work on Keara's dog aggression. The last 12 months have really been worth it - Genie's knowledge, dedication, support and infectious energy for her furry clients have been transformative. She's really organized and sets up a plan for your dog's particular behavioral needs - and she's a lot of fun to work with! Since the one on one sessions, working on classical conditioning and positive reinforcement, Keara is a changed little dog (and so am I). Keara's able to be around other dogs and not meltdown. She will actually interact with some and make friends. We've also been able to participate in Genie's group dog training classes. A huge big positive step, and a safer, happier little dog. So a big thank you to Dog Genie and I highly recommend her - whether it's basic training or for really tough issues like dog aggression - she knows her stuff! read more

Genie's Basic Skills & Manners class was amazing! Our puppy showed amazing improvements throughout AND after the class. We would recommend her to anyone! read more

If you're wondering whether Genie is the dog trainer for your dog, rest assured-she is. My dog (and myself) love working with Genie! We're currently working on reactivity towards other dogs with Genie and she has been such a great teacher, she addresses any questions I have and has a million tips and approaches for every issue that pops up, giving me more than enough training techniques to try with my girl (pitbull mix). My dog has already made so much progress and my only regret has been not finding Genie sooner! read more

Genie is the absolute best! She has been working with my husband and I and our golden retriever puppy. She has any great tips and ideas for us to try with her. Some of them have been so mind blowing. Genie has really helped us with our pup. I couldn't imagine not having her expert help. Plus she's super sweet and kind too. We definitely recommend her services! read more

Genie is amazing! I don't know what I would do without her. I adopted a dog reactive dog and then I became afraid of walking her (I wouldn't even hold her leash). I now feel super confident walking my dog and she has made great progress with her dog reactivity. I am beyond thankful to have found Genie, she has honestly changed my life. read more

I have a 1 year old german shepherd/border collie mix that I signed up for basic obedience with Genie. He had no training and was a beast on his leash. By the second class genie had him sitting and paying attention to me, while ignoring all the dogs around him. By the end of the 5 weeks my dog was able to not only walk with good leash manners but listen to my commands even with distractions. I would highly recommend Genie and will be signing up for her intermediate classes as well. read more

I cannot thank Genie enough for all her help. She is an amazing person who truly LOVES what she does, and it shows in the results. From old dogs to new puppies, Genie has been there for our fur babies and our entire family. She goes above and beyond to ensure that our outcomes with our fur babies are positive ones. Her advice and dedication are stellar. If you've been looking for someone to help you then Genie is your gal. We would be lost without her. Pingy, our new puppy is thriving thanks to Genie's support. Thank you Genie read more

I take my 2 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback all over town with me and everywhere we go, I get nothing but compliments on how friendly and well behaved he is. He's been through 3 of Genie's classes and it's all her. She's a no-nonsense trainer that will teach you all about positive training and knowing how to read your dog's behavior. Thanks to her Stu is a good boy! read more

Love love love Genie. She's been helping us with managing our young dogs desire to be overly friendly with other dogs. And by overly friendly, I mean he needs to improve his good citizen behavior. Genie is very knowledgable, teaches positive reinforcement techniques, and she's very patient with our exuberant dog. Genie is fabulous and we highly recommend her. read more

The Dog Genie saved our carpets! Our little one went through a marking phase and we were at our wits end trying to figure out how to make him stop. With Genie's advice, we had the problem turned around within a week and solved within a month. We'll also be forever grateful to her for creating a smooth transition when we adopted a rescue. The marker was used to being the only dog but we were able to bring a rescue into our home with confidence because of Genie. She spent over an hour and a half making sure they properly interacted and only left because she had another appointment that couldn't reschedule. I'd never use another dog trainer. My dogs absolutely adore her and I do too. read more

I'm so happy to Welcome her to Our Pack read more

Genie did a fabulous job helping with our 10 year old Aussie, Beau. She definitely helped teach our old dog some new tricks. More importantly, she taught old dog owners some new tricks. Having recently moved, Beau was acting out of the ordinary in his new environment. Genie helped give us the tools that have made Beau happier and more settled. She also gave us great ideas on how to keep his mind engaged along keeping him physically active. I would absolutely recommend Genie to anyone who needs help with a dog - young or old! read more

Make Dog Genie your FIRST CALL for positive behavior training! We can't say enough about Genie's experience and teaching abilities, as we were able to see first hand when our dog Coulton was at the Flying High Pet Resort in Camarillo for a week. She came once a day to teach him not to pull on his leash when he was being walked. When we returned from our vacation Coulton ready to show us what he had learned, such a huge difference! Genie has a way of getting through to her furry clients that works! As she would say, the problem is usually never with the dog, its with their humans! read more

Genie is AMAZING! She truly LOVES what she does and it shows. She has the knowledge and the way she teaches it just works! After taking a basic obedience class with my 1 1/2 y/o dog at Ventura Pet Barn he has never been better! He actually listens now. Genie uses positive reinforcemnet and it works wonders!! Four paws up to Genie!!! Xox Bear + C read more

We just got done with our first session with Dog Genie, and she was the nicest, most down-to-Earth and just plain knowledgeable person I've met. I was worried that my Dachshund/Chihuahua mix would be too frantic for her to handle, but after two hours of her explaining to us what was going through his head, she had him "staying" while she placed a full bowl of food on the ground. I have never seen him do this before. She's magic, through and through. She also gave us a folder full of reminders, tips, and a strategy for how to correct his behavior in our day-to-day lives. Do yourself a favor and consider her before anyone else. It's way worth the money. read more

Genie is great!! We adopted a puppy (about a 1yr old) from Camarillo shelter. I have been a dog owner my whole life but haven't had a puppy in a while, he is sweet, loving and playful but like Elizabeth E. had issues with other dogs (he was found as a stay in Ventura field). We signed up with Genie's obedience class pretty much right away...i was not sold on the treats to calm him down when he freaked out and i'm not quite sure he even heard the clicker sometimes, lol...but Genie and her assistants encouraged me to stick with him and the program and I have to say it has been 7 months and my baby is doing GREAT!! we can go on walks now without me worrying about him freaking out...we've even made a few trips to the beach! He goes to doggy day care about once a week and has the time of his life!! Thank you so much Genie !!! Love Holli and Rocco :) read more

Dog Genie is doing a great job training me on what to do and not do with my fearful dog! I have been a dog mom most of my life so when I adopted a terrified terrier from the Camarillo shelter last August, I thought I knew what I was doing. I was wrong. I realized that a fearful dog is a whole different challenge. Genie to the rescue! Not only is she helping me by giving me the tools to work with him but by teaching me about fearful dogs which has helped me change my expectations of him and our relationship. She's part dog trainer, part therapist! He's a work in progress but I know I have the best support I can have with Genie! read more

I rescued a dog from the Camarillo dog shelter in mid-March. It was found as a stray and I was told that it was about 14 months old. She ended up being adopted and returned to the shelter after three weeks. Sophie was in distress and deathly afraid of my cane I figured she had been abused. I attempted to go online and try to train the dog using information gathered. I was unsuccessful and looked into hiring a trainer. I searched many trainers by reading the reviews and recommendations from fellow dog owners at the dog park. Genie the dog trainer was recommended by several dog owners as Genies work it is well known; apparently in the equestrian arena as well. That is where I came across the decision to try the Dog Genie. I must tell you that was the best investment I have ever spent. I originally hired her for five hours and she told me after evaluating the dog that I would only need four and could add more if necessary, I was so impressed with the way Genie masterfully handled Sophie as well as myself on how to behave, that I insisted on hiring her for the full five hours. Again money well spent. I recently adopted a ten month old puppy and Sophie became very jealous and kept attacking my new puppy. I used my last session to get instruction from Genie to rectify this problem. Within 24 hour following her instruction, both dogs understood their pecking order and coexist lovingly. I could not be more grateful! Genie is a skilled, patient, and knowledgeable. She also told me that I could contact her by phone with any questions or problems that I was experiencing between sessions; a valuable perk that I utilized free of charge several times. It is clear to me that her main purpose is to help owners and their dogs get the best out of a mutual relationship and not to make money. I highly recommend her services with a new puppy or any age dog. You may contact me personally my name is John and my phone number is 805-302-9331. Feel free to contact me about my experience with the Genie and Sophie. I will be happy to share my incredible successful experience learning how to receive the most affection, trust, and obedience from my dog. Sent from my iPhone read more

I can't say enough good things about Dog Genie training! When you work with Genie, her passion for the dogs shines through everything else. She's so good with reactive dogs - you can tell she not only loves the challenge, but also loves the potential of that one dog to be happy and balanced and to live that kind of life rather than one of fear and reactivity. Genie has helped me with two of my dogs in private training and group sessions. The positive reinforcement methods she teaches work so well and the dogs and I all feel great after spending time training. After I saw how my first super-reactive Chihuahua learned to be a much more comfortable, relaxed and happy dog I went ahead and adopted another little one from a shelter and he turned out to be quite a project. I am still working with him and with Genie's help I have seen such vast improvement I just know that someday soon he will be as comfortable and happy as his fur-sibling! If you're looking for some dog training, call Dog Genie. You won't be sorry and your dogs will love you for it! read more

Love love love Genie. She has worked wonders with my dogs and me in such a short period of time. Have recommended her to others and will continue to do so. read more

Dog Genie is not only an amazing dog trainer, but also an amazing human being and so much fun to be around! I have a highly fearful rescue dog I have been working with for several months to no avail and she was attentive to my dog's needs. My dog is an extreme case... he is so fearful of humans he cowers and will strive to get away (or urinate) when a stranger approaches. Genie was respectful of my baby's behavior and made sure class participants were as well (a++!). After 4 short classes my dog was approaching her and taking treats from her hand! I highly recommend Genie to all dog personalities, levels, ages... And she trained me as well ;) Positive reinforcement is EXACTLY what my baby needs. He is a different dog after my clicker course and I know it is because of skills I have learned from Dog Genie and also because my dog was around other dogs in a professional (and yet **FUN**) environment. I cannot express enough gratitude for the improvement I see in my main man. I will continue to seek her help and guidance through our journey. Thank you Dog Genie! read more

When I first adopted my dog from the shelter I wanted to make sure that I created a bond with him from the start. There is nothing more rewarding and engaging for you and your pup than taking a class together. I took Dog Genie's Basic Skills & Manners out of Flying High Pet Resort. We loved working around the other dogs to help strengthen the skills that we were being taught and getting hands on feedback is invaluable. Clicker training has changed my life as well has my pup's. Since taking Genie's class I have used the clicker to help him get over riding in the car to clipping his nails with ease. He wags his tail and jumps up in my lap to let me cut his nails now, he has become so comfortable that he even falls asleep! Clicker training and Genie's love for dogs have provided me with a vital lifelong skill that I can continue to use with my current dog and future. Taking her class was the best thing I have ever done. read more

Dog Genie is amazing. The owner, Genie, really listens to your needs and makes a plan based on your needs, your environment and the type of dog. My golden retriever puppy was wild and crazy when Genie first came to work with him. Her positive training with lots of reinforcement completely changed Mr. Barkley into a good citizen. She taught him all the basic manner skills, but went further due to the design of my house. Genie helped me plan my puppy areas to give Barkley the most mommy time when I was home. She then trained him to utilize his crate, beds and toys. Sounds easy, but in my case given the layout and the over joyous energy of Barkley it required extra attention. She gave great suggestions on tools to use for better results. She also gave me great recommendations to dog related services. Genie was patient with Barkley and myself, and continued to advance the training based achievement. I guarantee you will enjoy her personality and be pleased with the results. I'm also proud to call her a friend, as we developed a nice friendship during Barkley's training camp. read more
