I don't live in Redwood City, but after being referred to Jen and her team, I decided to enroll my 5-year-old reactive Shepherd mix, Ziggy, in their 6-week board and train. All I can say is wow. After years of struggling with leash reactivity, bringing Ziggy here has been life-changing. He's truly a different dog. He now walks in a beautiful heel through crowded areas, stays calm around other dogs, and can even ignore dogs that run up behind him, something I never thought would be possible. The biggest gift has been seeing him able to simply coexist without feeling stressed, anxious, or frustrated. It's been such a breath of fresh air for both of us. I can't thank Jen and her team enough for everything they've done. Their knowledge, dedication, and care have completely transformed Ziggy's confidence and our daily life together. I would recommend them a thousand times over to anyone looking for real, lasting results. read more

Took Happee to Dogz101 in Redwood City for grooming with a bath and deshed, and we had a really good experience. She was clearly taken care of well and came out looking so clean, soft, and refreshed. One thing that made the whole visit even easier was the parking. They have several designated spots, and there is even a 1 hour spot that is usually open. Since drop off for grooming only takes about 5 minutes, parking was honestly not an issue at all. The shop itself also feels new, clean, and refreshing, which makes a big difference when you are leaving your dog in someone else's care. Overall, very smooth experience, and I would definitely bring Happee back. read more

Dog grooming review: I have had my dog for about a year and a half and initially took him to their old location. The grooming was great and it was highly affordable at $109. Less than a year and a half later, new location, and the price of grooming went to $170. The quality of grooming went down and on the most recent groom., it seems the groomer may have nicked my dog with dirty Shears which led to a cyst an infection. This ended up being a $900 emergency room visit. Whilst I can't confirm this is what happened, it is highly suspected from the vet as the cyst became noticeable a few days later. Like I said, the quality of the grooming plus the increase in Price and grooming over 1.5 years is a bit too much and therefore I have started to look at other places. read more

We love Dogz101! Finnegan has been coming here for almost 4 years and always looks so professional and cute when we pick him up. Jennette does an amazing grooming job for all dogs but specifically terriers. If you're a terrier owner, make sure to book with Jennette. Also- amazing customer service (easy to book via text) and great prices! Thank you Dogz101 team! read more

Finding a groomer for my dog has always been a challenge since she gets nervous, but after my first visit with Jen, I will never go anywhere else again. Usually my dog will scream and move uncontrollably when getting her nails trimmed. I explained how I was a little worried, so Jen let me stand by close when she was trimming her nails to accommodate me. I've never experienced such care with not only my emotions, but my also dogs. With her organization and professionalism, I've never seen my dog so quiet and calm. Thanks again! read more

Do NOT take your dog here. We have been a customer for 3-4 years, but as they moved to their new location, and specifically the last two visits have been atrocious. Our dog had a dried up cut that had scabbed and we informed the groomer. They cut around her scab and somehow reopened the wound and it ended up getting infected. 3 visits to the vet and 2 weeks of antibiotics. Unfortunate as it is, it was an accident and we moved on. Today, we pick up our 2 dogs and 1 of our dogs ears were butchered. It's hair (fur)so it'll grow back, but this was intentional. I'm in tears. This is unacceptable and when we complained, we were told to write a note or I am here writing a review for others to be aware! They've groomed our dogs for years!!! Why do this now?!?! **Responding to the owner. When we picked up Lea with the infected wound, we didn't notice it at pick up. We noticed it when we got home and we texted you and we were ignored. I understood it was an accident and didn't feel the need to push the matter further. When we picked up Lea today, my husband did express concern at pick up and was told to "leave a note" so I texted you and again, it went without any response. I said intentional in this case because the groomer decided to cut it this way. It was not an accident. We did reach out. I have texts. We expressed our concern and dismay and we were ignored. Just stating facts and sharing my experience with your business. Curious why you chose to not respond to our texts and bring it here for further airing of it all. An apology, or even an acknowledgment could have sufficed for us to have found a solution, clear any misunderstanding, and be done with it privately. But here we are. read more

Absolutely love this place! Jeannette grooms our pup Bert, who is both anxious and new to the whole grooming world. She is incredibly sweet and gentle with him, and he always comes out looking so handsome. I was nervous to take him anywhere because he's a rescue and gets extremely anxious when I try to do any grooming at home, but we've now had two amazing experiences here. He's slowly getting more comfortable with the process, and it's such a relief. Plus--look how freaking cute he looks afterward! Their scheduling is super flexible, and their communication is excellent. Truly can't recommend them enough. read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about Tasha, our groomer and absolute dog whisperer. She has been grooming my pup Oso for a few years now, and every single visit has been consistently exceptional. Oso can be an anxious little guy, but Tasha always knows exactly how to handle his quirks with so much patience, care, and professionalism. She takes the time to understand what works best for him, and I always feel completely confident knowing he's safe in her hands. His grooms always come out perfect clean, cute, and comfortable for him. It's clear she truly loves what she does, and it shows in the way she treats every dog like her own. If you're looking for a groomer who is skilled, compassionate, and genuinely invested in your pet's well-being, Tasha is the one. Oso and I are so grateful for her and couldn't imagine going to anyone else! read more

Jennifer is AWESOME! Our 3 year old dog Scrappy had no training or much socialization and I interviewed Jennifer along with 3 other dog-training school owners and chose Jenn as the best fit. Jenn's sets the dog on a routine, gets the dog to "heel properly", teaches the dog to ignore distractions and they have a "calm down" period. The dog is in a home setting so it is easy to transition back to his permanent home. She eventually took the dog to Home Depot where there are other dogs and lots of noise and our dog Scrappy passed the test. He needed to learn who was in command; who was the leader. He returned home after his 20-day stay with her (and other dogs) and she taught my son and I how to stay in command with Scrappy. I am amazed at his progress!! Thank you Jenn for making life easier!! read more

We love Dogz101! I have been taking my four doodles to get their grooming done with Tasha. It's important to have familiar and same groomer assigned to your dogs. Dogs are Just like children it's important to have routines established for dogs too. I have four doodles with such a different temperament and size. All of my doodles are so happy to see Tasha once a month for their grooming sessions. My doodles are very happy even my little grouchy cavapoo. Thanks for always making all of them beautiful and gorgeous doodles. read more

I've been training with Dogz101 for over two years now, and what I really appreciate is how patient Tony and the whole team are with both the dogs and us owners. They never make you feel rushed or embarrassed when you're struggling with something or when your dog is having an off day. The variety of training methods I've learned here has been really valuable. Tony's great at explaining not just what to do, but why we're doing it, which helps me apply what I've learned in different situations at home. His patience with me and my dog as we work through new techniques has made me way more confident in handling my dog day-to-day. Additionally, the atmosphere is really welcoming and relaxed. You can tell every dog and owner feels comfortable here. Training never feels stressful or intimidating, which I think makes all the difference for actually learning something. What really stands out is how passionate the Dogz101 team, Tony, Barak, Priscilla, etc. are about their work. It's clear this isn't just a job for them - they genuinely care about helping dogs and families succeed. That's made our whole training experience so much more enjoyable and rewarding. Thanks Dogz101 team! read more

Dogz101 was my and my wife's first experience with a dog trainer. We have a 5 year old Datsun mix (Levi) who is the love of our life, but needed some discipline. Levi is challenged with anxiety and his untreated symptoms had my wife and I embarrassed to take him out in public as he would constantly be barking, screaming, and crying. We needed help with obedience and reactivity training without a doubt. So we reached out to Dogz101 for their free consultation and received timely follow ups to our inquiries. Jennifer came out to our house where she listened attentively to my explanations of Levi's typical behavior. After understanding our situation, Jen confirmed that we would benefit from obedience and reactivity training. Before our consultation, we were considering going with a different training outfit considering that Dogz101 was a bit more expensive than others in the market. However, Jennifer's experience and our need for private (1 on 1) lessons, we continued forward with Dogz101 training plan. We signed up for a 6 1-hour long sessions package for a little over $900. Jen provided training equipment for the first few sessions until we were able to acquire our own. She was very helpful, providing us links to the different tools she showed us how to use during our training sessions. She explained very thoroughly how to use each tool correctly (slip lead, elevated dog mat, treat pouch, prong collar, etc.). She was very knowledgeable about when it is appropriate/warranted to use the different types of leads/collars. She taught us drills to walk through with Levi to reinforce the good behavior we were looking for. She also taught us how to properly correct the negative behavior when it arose. After the first session, Jen was very clear that we needed to apply and reinforce what we learned through daily 15 minute training sessions. This meant we had daily homework in order to reinforce the different lessons in all of our heads. Jen answered all of our questions we had and provided effective constructive feedback during our 1 on 1 sessions. This was very helpful to have a trainer's full attention as we ran through different exercises with Levi. We gained trust in ourselves and in our dog as the sessions went by. At the end of the training, we came out totally different in the way that we approach training, rewarding and discipling our dog. We are now equip with the tools both physical and mental to reinforce good behavior we want our dog to practice, but also correct the negative behavior as needed, especially overwhelmed in public or social interactions with other dogs. Dogz101 has room for improvement in terms of their updating contracts, website information and internal communication. I received inconsistent information from Jen and her office manager separately (the office manager handled the initial coordination and paper work). For example, prior to sending the money I asked the office manager to confirm the amount of classes for payment amount. Jen verbally communicated that the payment was for 5 sessions during our in person consultation, while the office manager formally communicated the payment was for 6 sessions. I specifically asked the office manager to confirm the sessions count, given that I was told different information by Jen in person. She said she confirmed that the package amount was for 6 sessions, so I signed the contract and sent the money over. Only after the payment was sent, the office manager told me that she made a mistake and that the payment amount was for 5 sessions. Initially this a bit frustrating, but this did not turn out to be an issue, as Jen honored the contract I signed for six sessions. Additionally, the contract that I was provided to sign had outdated information pertaining from their previous training package structure, and did not apply to the plan we were signing up for. Lastly, the Dogz101 website displays inconsistent information regarding available training packages (package payment amounts and quantities of training sessions), making it difficult for me to confirm exactly what I was signing myself up for. In the end, these were minor details/criticisms as the signed contract was honored by Jennifer. This knowledge we have acquired from these sessions is invaluable and I highly recommend anyone with a pup that has some disobedience challenges to reach out to Dogz101 for a training consultation. Dogz101 also offers board and train programs if you are looking for a more hands off experience. Thank you again, Jennifer for your help. We are grateful for your services, expertise and professionalism. -Jose, Marissa and Levi read more

Tony from Dogz101 has been an absolute godsend for us. My wife and I adopted a 7-year-old German Shepherd, Scully, who was highly reactive to other dogs and pulled so much on walks that it became unenjoyable. We're talking hackles raised and lunging at other dogs. When Tony came to our house for the initial assessment, I wasn't sure what to expect. He instantly put us at ease with his calm demeanor and deep understanding of dog behavior. He was incredibly thoughtful, knowledgeable, and patient, explaining everything in a way that made sense. We started with private classes, and Scully has now graduated to group class! Not only can we walk Scully without him pulling our arms out of their sockets, but he now sits at every corner and can see another dog and get a little uncomfortable without lunging or reacting. Tony encouraged us to then go to group class, and now Scully is around other dogs, holding his place on his bed, and even letting other dogs approach him and walking calmly between them. Oh, and the best part? Scully boards with Tony when we are out of town! We love knowing Scully is in great hands with Tony and the team. Scully and Tony even got bonding bath time last time he stayed overnight! read more

What a disappointment Dogz101 was for us and our dog. We got a price quote of $85 and we gave the front desk explicit directions as to the length that we would like are 5 pound Maltese clipped to. We also pointed out that she has skin tags and to be careful of them when shaving. Instead, they completely shaved one skin tag off and when we picked her up, she was bleeding. They had the audacity to charge $108 for the service and they didn't even trim her toenails. Trimming toenails is a must when you have a a request for a full grooming. Not only will we never go back we wouldn't recommend it to anyone. read more

We got back a pup who would listen to us when we put her in "place" & stayed till we said she could get up & all her biting was done except for her toys which was ok.

Been going to Dogz101 for four years now. Took our dog Otis to their new location on Hurlingame and had terrible experience. We've been paying an average of $125 and today it was $175. I questioned their pricing and told them that I have a text stating from last week that Otis will be $130. Her response was literally "I'll give you a discounted price but don't come back". I've never been so disrespected. After all these years this is how a loyal customer is treated. In 4 years I've only had 1 complaint, the groomer did a terrible job and they offered $25.00 on his next appt. This is the first time I've questioned their pricing. Going from $125 to $175 I felt justified in asking. After being told to never come back rest assured we won't, and I recommend that no one else does as well, because being a long time and loyal customer gets you nothing but disrespect. read more

For years, I've trusted Dogz101 with both training and grooming services for my high-energy (but good boy) golden retriever, Rocky, and I can't say enough great things about them! Rocky is a dynamic goofball in dog form, always eager to please but needing structure to shine. I enrolled him in Dogz101's 4-week board-and-train program, which gave him the perfect foundation to channel his energy positively. We've continued with group and individual training sessions, and it's clear the trainers take the time to truly understand Rocky--his strengths, weaknesses, and areas for growth. Thanks to their expertise, I can now confidently take him to restaurants, downtown areas, parks and other public places, where he's always on his best behavior. Rocky clearly adores the Dogz101 team too, as his excitement to see them says it all! My only regret is not starting his training with Dogz101 sooner. A special shout-out to Tony, Priscilla, and Tasha for their above-and-beyond service over the years. Thank you! read more

I recently adopted Soka - a 5 year old rottweiler/German Shepard mix. Although she was an incredibly loving and sweet dog at home, when we left the house we were challenged with leash aggression, barking/growling, extreme pulling on the leash, and not listening to commands. Soka and I went to Dogz101 for an training evaluation - due to her age and long-standing behaviors they recommended a 5 week board and train program. I was reluctant to make the commitment - but so glad I did! It one of the best investments I have ever made! Soka lived, worked and played with the Dogz101 Founder and Owner Jennifer Bazan for 5 weeks. We met Jennifer and Soka a few times during the training and Jennifer sent many videos of the training techniques she was using and videos of Soka and her new behaviors. It has been an amazing transformation. Soka is not yet perfect, but we can take her anywhere - on leash and off-leash - she responds to commands and is learning to see other dogs in a more neutral way. Soka is thriving with the structure and rules that are now part of her live. Of course, this has taken daily commitment from us to build on what Jennifer started - including on-going communication with Jennifer and private and group classes. Thank you Jennifer and the entire Dogz101 Team! read more

Such a seamless process from booking an appointment to picking up my pup. I got an appointment for the next day, and they sent me a text 20 minutes before my pup is ready so I can start heading over. They offered the best pricing in the area for my 25lb mini Goldendoodle. After the appointment, my dog was licking himself more than usual and I was able to bring him back to see if additional service was needed. I'm definitely coming back for my dog's next appointment. read more

We booked a bath for our senior staffy, Jane, and it was absolutely worth it! Along with the bath, they took care of her nails and we decided to get her the teeth cleaning add on.

My review is about Dogz101 grooming services and of Tasha, the grooming salon manager, in particular. I currently have two high-energy Keeshonds. I've been a Kees owner for 52 years and have had 7 wonderful companions, all of whom have had beautiful, high maintenance double coats. In addition, my current two fur girls have physical "special needs" - one of them has frequent grand mal seizures and the other has several herniated discs in her neck. I will trust only Tasha at Dogz101 to groom them properly and handle them with the care and attention they need in order for them to endure what could be a very stressful and potentially painful experience every time they need to be groomed. Tasha is thoroughly able to handle both their physical special needs and groom them to show-quality standards. She is a professional and very compassionate groomer and human being. If your furry friends need and deserve the best personal care and attention, I highly recommend you trust them to Tasha. read more

We sent our fur baby Joey here for training and it was the best decision and best investment ever. Joey was very rambunctious, had an over abundance of energy, and we had the most difficult time taking him for walks. After a lot of trial and error, we decided that this 20 day training camp was in his best interest. Jennifer's expertise, knowledge, and years of experience really shows with Joey's results. Joey has become a very respectful and well mannered pup! We can walk him with ease and easily correct any unacceptable behaviors. It's incredible! It's amazing that the most simple commands have made such an impact for the better. I can't thank Jennifer enough for all that she has done for Joey and for us. When she brought him home, she even spent a couple hours with us to go over his training and to work with us to ensure that we continue to work with him in the same manner that she did so that he will continue to grow and develop his training skills. I highly recommend Jennifer for all your training needs. You will not be disappointed! Thank you so much Jennifer. You are the best! read more

Stay away from this place; we had an awful experience. We knew our dog had some mats, and we were transparent about it with this groomer but expressed that we like a long cut so please bear that in mind. Other dog groomers, if they feel they can't give the desired cut, will give owners an option of either de-matting at home or accepting a shave cut, or close to it. Dogz101 told us it would be "shorter" than the long length we told them we prefer, but said nothing about a shave cut. There's an enormous difference between "it'll be shorter than the long length you're used to" and "it will be exceptionally short, bordering on a shave." They did this without asking. They also didn't even try to make him look even: they didn't cut his tail at all. He looks awful, it will take months to grow back, and when I called to just give them some gentle feedback about our experience (I prefer to give direct feedback than write a bad review), all they said was "this isn't technically a shave." As a customer, I don't care about semantics or the exact specifications of a blade; this dog is functionally shaved and I am pretty angry about it. I will actively advise all dog owners I know not to come here. read more

Jen was great! We took our golden doodle puppy to her a few months ago and our puppy was literally chewing through everything and would not listen to simple commands. We were thinking of The consequences of keeping our puppy around any longer in fear he would be chewing through everything. Luckily we found Jen and we are so so thankful that we did! Right from the first day, we noticed she just had a great way with the dogs. She was like the dog whisperer LOL. she was my husband's friend from high school so I thought I would give her a call first and so glad that we did. we noticed a significant difference in our dogs, behavior and mannerisms, and he started to listen with just some simple tricks we had never thought of before. We decided to go with the 30 day board and train which entailed sending our dog to Jen's for a private training which was hard because we couldn't get to see our puppy for a bit but Jen would constantly text pictures and update us with how he was doing! He is still a great boy until this day! Thank you Jen!!!! read more

Dogz101 has been a staple in our dog's success, both in training and reliable grooming. We were referred to Dogz101 through our trainer because we have a high maintenance Moyen Goldendoodle. He's high maintenance in personality and hair care. Bethina is a godsend; the entire staff at Dogz101 have made us feel like family and part of the dog community. It's really such a special place. Ollie gets groomed every three weeks, we've had him dematted once, and have also done creative color on his ears and tail. The team takes such good care and Ollie always comes back with a huge smile on his face. We love Dogz101 so much. Jen has an incredible training program. We really wanted a hybrid approach to training: reward and consequence is truly such an incredible methodology. Dogs communicate differently than humans and we are learning how best to communicate with Ollie and how to keep him accountable. The group classes are really great. For anyone that has a doodle, the attention span is literally like having a puppy full time. He's super smart so once he finally pays attention, he really grasps his training and it's up to us to continue training after class. That's so so important: you have to put in the work to see the results. I love seeing Ollie's expression when he sees Zena; he knows it's time to do work, and that's a really incredible feeling as a dog owner. I really believe we are doing the best thing for our dog by entrusting his success with Dogz101. We've utilized their overnight services as well, which is an affordable option for when we go out of town. We know Ollie will get attention, training, and exercise with Dogz101. Their client appreciation events are also really fun, and the dogs get to hangout and make friends too! Thank you so so much Dogz101, we love you! read more

Hi Jennifer- I did represent the timeline truthfully - I have all the texts from trainer to manager as proof. I told them I could not afford the longer stay - "they" are the ones that suggested 21 plus 5 would work. The trainer knew the timeline - during our initial eval the trainer suggested board and train around my vacation. She was 7 months old then and she is 10months now- yes. She is bigger now, she is still leash aggressive, agreed. Not much more to it. read more

Incredible experience with Barak. We adopted a 2 month old, high drive husky/border collie from the SPCA and after two weeks we had to bring her to Dogz101's puppy board and train. We have an older husky and I work during the day so we needed to accelerate her learning. Barak was the expert we needed. He took the time to learn about us and her background. During her boarding, we got constant texts, a check in session, and training sessions. Barak gave us an education about our dog, just as much as our dog got from Barak. We now have the tools to correct any bad behavior while she continues to learn. If you want your dog to learn how to self soothe and learn how to calm themselves, call them asap. They are all experts. So grateful for Dogz101. read more

I cannot recommend Barak highly enough for anyone looking to transform their dog's behavior! I enrolled Savannah (7 year old German Shepard Mix) in the 30-day board and train program, and the results were simply astounding. From the moment Barak came to pick up Savannah, I knew she was in great hands. A little background, Savannah's journey has been a bit rough My Ex and I had two dogs. We lost one who she was attached to and she really didn't know any better. I couldn't take Savannah full time and my ex didn't want her. He left her with his father who kept her in the garage with unlimited food supply. This led to hip problems, separation anxiety (when I had to drop her back off after a few days). She started to get very sick which led me to the final decision of making it work and taking on full custody. Taking on full custody of Savannah was challenging with my busy schedule of school, gym, and work, especially since she insisted on being by my side constantly. Barak came into our lives as a true lifesaver. Despite my initial doubts about her age and mental resilience for the program, Savannah exceeded all expectations. Safe to say she did better than I did without her for the 30 days. Throughout the 30 days, Barak kept me updated with regular progress reports and videos, which provided immense reassurance. The transformation in Savannah has been remarkable--she shed over 15 pounds, regained her youthful energy, and now enjoys longer walks without needing constant companionship. Her attitude towards other dogs has also improved significantly, her fur and skin even feel so much better. He helped her regain the confidence she needed. Barak didn't just train Savannah; he empowered us with the tools and knowledge needed to maintain her newfound obedience at home. His dedication and love for dogs shine through in everything he does, and his compassion towards Savannah was truly heartwarming. I only wish I had made this decision sooner. If you're considering a board and train program for your dog, look no further than Barak. His expertise and genuine care make all the difference. Thank you, Barak, for giving us a healthier, happier, and more confident Savannah! read more

Very disappointed with Dogz101. We decided to move forward with Dogz101 due to the high reviews and experience with the bully breeds. From the beginning we had issues. We attempted to schedule the evaluation online but were told by the manager, Priscilla, we first needed to speak with the trainer. A phone appointment was made with Tony. Unfortunately, the manager messed up with the dates and scheduled the phone appointment on the trainer's day off. Tony reached out a day later and apologized for the mix up. We understand mistakes can happen and we booked the in person evaluation. At the in person evaluation appointment, the information we provided online was somehow lost. We had to provide the trainer with our information and our puppy's information which at this point made us question the way they do business. Tony was great, we had a good conversation about bully breeds and he recommended the in board program. He gave us some time to think it through and let us know to reach out to Priscilla for booking. We reached out to Priscilla and decided to book a private session first before committing to the in board. Priscilla booked us for the highway 85 package. Fast forward to the first session, Tony declined the private session package. Because of her breed, he insisted we do the in boarding program and had to once again apologize because Priscilla should have not booked us for highway 85 package. While at the facility, they let us know our file was lost again, causing yet another mix up. The evaluation was confusing as he recommended the in board but wasn't clear that our puppy couldn't be allowed for other packages. The main reason we did not want to move forward with in board training was because we don't know the trainer, we don't know how our puppy will respond to his training, and most importantly his way of training. We were really hoping to work with Tony and the team at Dogz101 but it seems like they are vey unorganized with no communication between the manager and trainer. Our time was completely wasted. read more

We had been investing in the success of our Am Staff puppy (Herschel) since we found each other, but our pup kept his circle of trusted people very small. In the first year, that circle only my husband and I. After a few rounds of separation anxiety training (yay - we can leave the house!) and puppy classes, we were struggling in building confidence and impulse control in Herschel. A friend pointed us to Tony at Dogz101 as he was known to work with Bully breeds and all their unique personality traits. After talking about his training style we understand it's more a balanced training vs strictly positive reinforcement. We had only used positive reinforcement to date so we talked a lot about what this means. Understanding these are all tools to use that could help Herschel be successful - we identified 2 blocks of time we could book some in home board and train sessions with Tony. The end goal was to have a dog that we could hike with off-leash with a confident recall. We just recently picked Herschel back up from his second block of in home board and train session and we are so incredibly impressed with the progress we have all made! It did take a team effort - but with the dedicated time as well as helping us learn how to best support his progress in weekly classes - we have come a long way. The work is now in our hands as it is just like exercising a muscle - we all still train to reinforce what we have learned. Our relationship has turned us from exhausted and frustrated to playful and joyful. I give that credit to Tony in that switch and it has been so impactful. Today, I'm happy to say - Herschel has expanded his circle of trusted people to include Tony. Each of our weekly training sessions Hershel's whole body relaxes and wiggles when he sees him, and it breaks me each time I see it. I would highly recommend Tony as your dog training partner. (We have also used the day care services at Dogz101 when we need it) Some pictures below show his progress... read more

Dogz101 is our go-to groomers. Super friendly and helpful staff and owner. Scheduling right (Sept 2020) was about a week out. We usually get the full service for our dog including the extra teeth cleaning service (extra $10). Our dog is so nice and soft after a trip to Dogz101. Would def recommend this place. As an added bonus, if you're there on Fri or Sats late afternoons then you can pop by Jack's Fire to pick up some nice BBQ ribs. Would def recommend Dogz101!!! read more

Tony at Dogz101 was a lifesaver for us! Our dog Einstein was in serious need of training. Einstein had behavioral issues from the day we took him in. He appeared to have suffered with his previous family . He had horrible separation anxiety, he was on several anxiety medications, including prescription ones, he was leash aggressive, dog aggressive, and was starting to show signs people aggression in some scenarios. We had tried everything possible and were at a loss. I reached out to Dogz101 and received a text from them within minutes. They were able to accommodate a next day appointment for evaluation. Tony evaluated Einstein and determined the best option would be a board and train program. I've heard some scary things about board and train programs but Tony's compassion and kindness towards Einstein made me feel comfortable with his plan. Tony was with Einstein 24/7, he sent us regular updates with photos and videos. Tony made himself available by providing his cell phone number and we were welcomed to text any time for updates. During the first check in, we could see an immediate change in Einstein's behavior. He was calmer, more well behaved, and happier than we had ever seen him. Each check in showed dramatic improvement! He's made so much progress and it's made a huge impact on our lives. Einstein can go on walks without any aggression toward other dogs and he's able to play with other dogs now. He's fully crate trained now and is able to stay home without making himself sick, when we leave. If your dog needs training, go to Dogz101! read more

My husband and I often talk about how lucky we feel that we found Dogz101 - well, 'we' being me, because I did the thorough research and review vetting ;) Truthfully, being taught by Seth has been life-changing. We adopted our pup as a 4 month old who would grow to be a large dog. My husband and I have only had small to medium dogs in our family all our lives and we're also expecting our second child, so we knew we had to make sure we committed as much time and energy as possible to train our pup before baby came. We started with the puppy kickstarter with Seth and learned the fundamentals of leash pressure and rewards. It was so eye-opening to learn methods that felt very natural and intuitive. She was already a smart pup (part Australian cattle dog and shepherd) and she thrived with the structure and accountability Seth taught us to provide to her. He also emphasized how important it was to meet her where she was at in terms of age and energy and I really appreciated his emphasis on that structure and accountability while reminding us to give her lots of love and breaks. After puppy kickstarter, we decided to go for the Highway 85 package and do 5 privates with Seth and 5 beginner group sessions. I'm writing this after finishing up our privates and our second group class and I can truly say Sesame has become such a well-trained, well-behaved almost 1 year old! Don't get me wrong, she still has her puppy tendencies but every day she matures and our confidence in her grows. A shining moment for us was after maybe our 3rd private session, we took her to a park and let her leash go so she could roam with lots of distractions for the first time (squirrels, people, kids, bikes, other dogs) and she listened to every 'leave it' and 'come' command despite all those things. We were floored and thoroughly impressed!! I'm the type of person who asks a ton of questions when learning and constantly peppered Seth with questions during our sessions and he always gave us really clear and concise directions. He was consistent with principles he applied, which made his lessons and advice easy to follow, and any time we were confused, he was very patient with repeating with us. You can tell he loves what he does and loves dogs and truly believes in their capabilities. He's also hilarious and entertaining, breaking things down with real world examples. In all honesty, it took a lot of work and discipline to learn and train ourselves and hold ourselves accountable to being consistent with her training. If you are willing to learn and truly want to create a strong bond with your dog, I cannot recommend Seth and Dogz101 enough! (We also booked a 10-day facility board and train with them and had no issues, loved receiving updates whenever we liked on how she was doing. She also had a bath and had her nails trimmed before -all great! Would and will definitely take her back for boarding and grooming) read more

Let your chihuahua mix drag you to Dogz101 for training, then watch as they leave walking calmly next to you when you pick them up! Just picked my little dude back up after 8 days! He went in needing some brushing up on his leash manners, plus some work on being dog reactive and needing to get some confidence in general! I am happy to share that although he's only 15lbs and a Chi-mutt, they treated him like a prince! If you're on the fence about it or feel like you can't justify bringing your small dog in for training, please believe me when I say that your dog worth investing in. The trainers at Dogz101 show so much love and professionalism to your dog, no matter their size, temperament and/or issue. It was fun to follow his progress on Dogz101's IG stories and posts while he was there, and we even got a few fun ideas for games he enjoyed to recreate at home. We missed him (we're total saps!) but never once regretted having him spend a week at "camp". Unfortunately I haven't been able to really test my dog out by taking him to brunch in close proximity to other dogs (thanks coronavirus), but he's already more calm in general, heels on walks, and hasn't barked like a wild man when we see other dogs across the street. Pre-training, he'd have been trying to drag me across the street and making all sorts of awful snarls. Looking forward to more lessons and continuing to build on the great training foundation Dogz101 has put on my little guy! read more

Dogz101 - Good doggie! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Redwood City, California

We've been working with Dogz101 since January and our dog Willow has had so much improvement! She is dog reactive and highly anxious as a rescue and the trainers have been wonderful in showing us how to communicate with Willow. She can now walk by other dogs and ignore them which we would never have expected a year ago. They offer private and group classes which allowed us to work with Willow 1:1 and then around dogs/distractions. The trainers are big on building those foundations and then putting you in real life situations. Is your dog reactive to other dogs running? They will bring their demo dogs out to run around you. We cannot thanks the dogz101 trainers enough because our dog is no longer an embarrassment in public! The trainers are also all readily available if you have questions and are active on IG. They've even provided suggestions on dog sports we could get Willow into and we've been taking her to barn hunt classes through one of their connections. So if you are struggling with your reactive dog or just got a new puppy, check them out! read more
