Upon going in we were given a lot of information so we knew what to expect if we decided to hire them to train our dogs along with a brochure that included info and a phone number for Bear. Hubby and I went home and thought about how it would be an advantage to train our dog. The next morning we called Bear and had such an informative conversation and we knew this was the place to take our pup. They were able to get him in 2 days later for the day training (we chose to send him from 8a.m-5p.m). The first day we were scared of how our doberman would handle being with strangers. Anxiously we went inside and he was very stand off-ish and the girls where not even intimidated. They knew underneath the growls and stares was an awesome dog we as his family see daily. It was so incredible to see his demeanor change once we handed him over. All day hubby and I were waiting for them to call and say "your dog is impossible" yet it never came. We arrived right about 5p.m to get him and they said "you're dog is an Angel" my jaw dropped.... whoooo my dog? an Angel? I think this is a replacement dog then. Nope it really was my Dobbie. The following day we went back and he went face to face with the guy who would eventually get this 105lb Dobbie to be the most well behaved puppy. Jamie and him didn't hit it off by any means at first. Yet again Jamie showed no fear as he to knew Loki was just a big baby just like we and the girls saw! Fast forward 3 weeks after training and we as his parents see the change everywhere! Dog training isn't JUST FOR THE DOG! It is a family training. They teach the dog the tools to do the commands requested but it is ultimately up to YOU to implement them. My best advice for anyone looking to train their dog is ASK QUESTIONS! The team at ultimutt is sooooo passionate and knowledgeable. I love the fact that we are able to get continued education on saturdays incase Loki or US HUMANS forget how to work a command.

After he spent 5 weeks with Shayne in her Board & Train program, he came back home with all those issues resolved. I'm so grateful as I'm able to take him places I hadn't dreamt of only a few months ago. Do not be afraid of the tools that are used: E-collar and prong collar. When used correctly, they're safer than other "normal" tools such as harnesses. It's also important to take Shayne's advice and keep up with the training and structure she instills in your puppy. This will make your dog's and your quality of life so much better! Thank you Shayne! I definitely recommend reaching out to her if your dog is showing any sort of behavior you'd like to correct!

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.

From the very first session, Titus was immediately receptive to Dawn. She has such a calm, confident presence and a clear gift for connecting with dogs. What really set her apart, though, is that she didn't just train Titus--she trained me, too. Once she showed me how to properly work with him using clear, consistent commands and rewards, everything clicked into place. The improvement in his behavior has been fast and honestly kind of amazing. Dawn is patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about setting you and your dog up for long-term success. I can't recommend her enough--if you're looking for a trainer who really knows what she's doing, look no further than Happy Dog Obedience!

I think Dawn is a literal dog whisperer. When we met her initially, our dog (who we were desperate…read morefor help with, and on the verge of trying to rehome - and we have a LOT of prior dog experience!) immediately clued in to what she wanted him to do like he had always known her and we knew immediately we wanted her help. Her pricing is incredibly reasonable compared to other options as well, we were so, so happy and relieved to hire her for a training course. Our dog is a Mallinois/Boxer/Black Mouth Cur mix with a lot of energy and he is STRONG at 85lbs. After just 2 of our 5 sessions with Dawn, he is already infinitely better behaved and happier, too! We all are. It is very important that you are consistent with your dog and keep up what you and your dog learn from Dawn between and after sessions to get the results you will want, but wow, what a positive change you get from that effort! If I could give 6 stars, I would.

READ THIS: THE REAL STORY ABOUT K9- OFF LEASE FRESNO…read more First I will start by saying that with persistance, my 70lb Male Husky did get trained well. BUT HE IS STILL NOT OFF-LEASH. He does however know all the commands and performs quit well with collar. Price: $4,000 and I had 5 weeks the first time and then 2 weeks back again. My Husky may have ADHD and can jump over 6 ft, so he is just young and very excitable and hard to train....... 1. Unless your dog is under 10lbs, you most likely will need 4 -weeks of training - Zak (sales guy) promotes a 2 week class for $2,500. This is not enough time for most dogs. 2. I bought 4 weeks and was told this would be enough. Matt (Owner) thru in an extra week at the request of the trainer. So, my first round with this company was (5) weeks. My Male Husky would mind the commands with collar on only, when coming home first time. I worked with him for over 30 days and then took him back for the LIFETIME GUARANTEE. 3. Lifetime Guarantee: I had to be persistant, but Matt did put my dog back in school for another (2) weeks. (I worked with my dog extensively for 30 days between the 1st visit and taking him back). 4. 2nd time around, (2 more weeks) dog had a different trainer and the Dog showed more improvements. He really knew all commands and minded very, very well with collar on. Still got out and ran away a couple times, but when he is in house and/or on leash, with collar, minded very well. A+ 4. SUMMARY: 7 weeks total. 5 weeks and then another 2 weeks. COST around $4000. 5. E-Collar: If your dog is over 50lbs, the e-collar they give you may not be strong enough. I had them upgrade me to the 1200. My Husky is stubborn, has very thick hair and is very determined to do whatever he feels like. 6. So, i have had our hunting dogs trained professionaly. IT TAKES 4 MONTHS TO train a professional hunting dog to hunt ducks and still you have good dogs and Great dogs. BEWARE: IT TAKES AT LEAST 4 WEEKS TO TRAIN ANY DOG WELL. I GAVE THEM 4 STARS. SOME DOGS MAY ONLY NEED 4 WEEKS OF TRAINING BEFORE THEY ARE TOTALLY OFF-LEASH. HOWEVER, LARGE STUBBORN DOGS MOST LIKELY WILL REQUIRE 4-8 WEEKS OF TRAINING TO ACHIEVE THE TOTAL OFF-LEASH CLAIM. MY DOG NEVER ACHIEVED THE "OFF LEASE CLAIM". PROS AND CONS: K9 - PROS: VERY GOOD TRAINERS AND MATT (OWNER) Is fair and reasonable. Be persistant though..... K9 - CON: ZAK (sales) TENDS TO OVER SELL THE REALISTIC TIME IT TAKES TO TRAIN A DOG. 2 WEEKS IS NOT ENOUGH FOR MOST DOGS so the 2 week plan for $2,500 should be avoided, in my opinion. Go with the 4 week plan and pay the extra money. K9-CON: Email system is a little difficult. Communication, pick up drop off could impove. Does take some time TO CONTACT OWNER FOR LIFE TIME GUARANTEE. Would be better to let phone answering service schedule this, however, you must contact owner. I assume this is because owner must now pay trainers "out of pocket" and this reduces profit. BE PERSISTANT........ OVERALL: GOOD EXPERIENCE AND RECOMMEND THEM, but you need to go with at least 4 weeks and then you can use your Life time if needed.
