    Justine worked for our training company for several years and was an absolutely outstanding dog…read moretrainer! She is dedicated to the clients, their dogs, and quality of care they receive. Her rich history as in the veterinarian field working for the nation's best vet hospital, UC Davis, makes her invaluable for your dog's care. She is capable of handling any emergency with professionalism and proficiency. You can rest easy knowing that she has covered all her bases regarding your dog's health. Justine has worked for another company in the past and did a great job there as a service dog and pet dog trainer. Not only did she train several service dogs from start to finish, she also trained many pet dogs lead successful life! She can handle anything from aggression rehab to fearful biters, she is just that good at what she does. Her partner and husband is just as great! He is genuine, skilled, and loves to help train/care for the animals in every way he can. He is a strong and solid support for the business and will help your dog succeed in every conceivable way. I am sad to have lost this amazing woman, but I am beyond happy to see her starting her own thing. I wholeheartedly support her business and don't just take my word... our company clients were beyond happy with her too!

    My baby spent 3 weeks with Justine and goes to the group training for clients. Justine was…read moreextremely communicative, regularly updated so you weren't panicking and it shows you that your dog is capable of retaining and performing the actions you want. Justine also held an informative seminar that clients could also attend. Def recommend.

    We brought our rambunctious German Shepherd puppies to Anthony, when they were 5 months old. They…read morehad to stay an extra week (for a total of 4 weeks), b/c we were out of town. We returned to calmer, well mannered pups. He offers Saturday classes, to maintain proper training (for the dogs & their owners). Our dogs obey & are comfortable around Anthony (enough to snuggle up to him, after a session). We are very pleased, & look forward to learning more techniques, in future sessions with Anthony.

    It is obvious that Tony loves what he does and has a talent and connection with dogs, which is why…read moreit pains me to write this. I only do so because I truly believe he is running a dangerous operation, and I am thinking of the animals, too. Won't get into the details of it, but basically had a pup with Customized K9 from its birth to a little under a year, and we are still questioning about whether he will be able to overcome the damage from the bad habits we built in our time at Customized K9. Yes, there is no one "right" way or method of training, but there are things that can be seen as a "wrong" way because of the negative long term effects/etc. Regardless of my poor "messed up" pup, who my heart aches for every day and that I am now paying for again to undo training I had paid Customized K9 for, there were issues from the beginning. It was incredibly unorganized, we got very mixed communication/information, if any, and were handed a very complex breed of dog as a puppy (too early, might I add) with no guidance. I wish that we had met our current trainer first. We were too naive to know any better, honestly, which is why I'm making this review. There's very little information out there on the type of dog training Customized K9 does as well as the type of dog they breed. Their Facebook page has a video of the trainer stating that everyone needs to calm down about training styles and it's just about taking your dogs out and "having fun." Well, it's not so "fun" if your dog ends up messed up, or even dangerous, is it? Update: I also left a shorter version of this review on their Facebook page and they removed it.
