The gym running this place is a joke. He take more about himself and New York than anything else. I…read morecalled several times over several days to inquire and left several messages. Finally I went in and he was sitting on his phone on FB, I could tell by the screen. And then, he didn't even bother standing up to talk to me. That should've been a red flag. I shared my fitness goals, which are pretty big, and instead of taking to me about how I could get there, he just kept talking about himself. I had to cancel which was a NIGHTMARE to get my money back. He conveniently forgot to tell me I would get the percentage back that he was charged for the transaction, which I completely understand, but he didn't bother to tell me that. Just a giant headache and waste of time.

With their help, I easily graduated from U.S. Army Airborne and Air Assault Schools and have placed first in my division as several large Jiu-Jitsu tournaments across the United States (Las Vegas, Atlanta, New York and throughout the state)!

She doesn't just use one method to teach, she will figure out what is best for your dog and go from there! Please use Sierra for all of the services she offers.. it will be worth the money I promise! Our experience: We adopted Sunny from the West Valley Humane Society back in January. For months we tried various different training programs. We tried online training and in person private classes and nothing really seemed to work for him. He had a ton of anxiety, was not confident, was reactive and aggressive towards all dogs but specifically small ones, did not know boundaries, etc. We really had our hands full with our Sunny boy but he needed someone that was going to be patient with him and boy was Sierra just that! We purchased Sierra's board and train class (2 weeks) and Sierra kept our boy an ADDITIONAL 2 weeks because he was having a hard time focusing and getting comfortable. Not only that, her training was a third of the price that we were going to pay for a board and train at another local place. She really did what was the best for him. Like I said before, Sunny was a lot of work and Sierra went above and beyond in every way to help our boy. She first came over for a consult to see what we were wanting to get out of her services and how we were already doing things and offered assistance with that. At the time that Sunny was with Sierra he learned: -how to walk on a leash (before he would pull your arm off) -recall -"place" -crate training -riding in the car -listening to commands -gained confidence -how to interact with dogs -& so much more! Sierra was able to help with everything we mentioned to her in the initial meeting and more! Not only that but Sunny really loves her and her family. We feel completely comfortable leaving our boy with Sierra because we know he is in good hands. Sierra really gave us our life back and we live such an enjoyable life now WITH Sunny. We feel comfortable leaving him at home when needed and taking him to parks. We are so happy we found her!!!! Please use her!!!

Marissa and Nina have worked magic on my foster fail, Cammie Marie Pibble. She came to us very…read moreskittish, malnurished, and scared of everything. She also came to us thinking other dogs were food not friends (she needs to hear the sharks in finding Nemo again apparently.) After nearly 4 weeks of board and train, Cammie is learning to peacefully (and obediently) coexist with the littles. I am so proud of my pup and in awe of Marissa and Nina for the profound difference in Cammie's confidence and ability to follow direction. She is so happy with her new found calm state that all I can say is that I wish I had dropped her off sooner!! They come to you to pick up your pup and provide progress reports along the way. They are truly dog whisperers so if you have any training needs, they are the ones to call!

I can't say enough great things about Nina (and I'm pretty sure my friends and family are tired of…read morehearing about our training with her). We adopted a Belgian Malinois from a local rescue and started working with another trainer as soon as we brought him home. I can't tell you how many times I tried to walk this beast and would come home crying because "I will never be able to just go on a leisurely walk with him!!" We then met a man with a malinois also who raved about Nina, so we decided to give her a call. Ladies and Gentlemen, not only does our dog now have amazing recall, he walks beautifully on a leash but is actually able to be an off-leash dog most of the time! Having a working breed dog is not something that most trainers are used to working with (and no, a lab isn't the same as a malinois). Nina knew exactly what to do with our pup and gave us all the tools we needed to make him a happy, well trained dog.
