I cannot sing the praises of Michelle enough! When Monty returned from two weeks of Board and…read moreTrain with Michelle, he was a changed dog. He's not just a calmer dog, he's a CALM dog. We've had no out-of-control barking incidents; he can be tethered and remain quiet. He's very good on walks, moving from "heel" to "break" and back to "heel" again. He's very responsive to the "off" command, which we use primarily to keep him off the furniture and out of the kitchen. Last week we had friends over for dinner and after his initial excitement he was a good boy, lying nearby content and chewing on a bone. We even attended the Humane Society Walk for Animals at Kit Carson Park, and with hundreds of dogs and people and non-stop activities, he was again a very well-behaved boy. We are so appreciative of the work that Michelle did with Monty. He is now the dog we always hoped he would be - happy, well-behaved, and living his best life!

One year after Chewie's training with Cosmo K-9 Obedience, it's clear that Chewie has great respect…read morefor his trainer! The moment Chewie saw Chris, he recognized him and greeted him with such joy! Minding his manners of course. He's too smart to behave like a brat in front of his trainer. I recently reached out to Chris for advice on redirecting Chewie when greeting people since he sometimes forgets his manners and has no sense of personal space. Chris took the time to demonstrate effective techniques and offered practical solutions I'll be implementing right away. Chewie and I are incredibly grateful for Chris's continued support and the excellent training from Cosmo K-9 Obedience. Chewie has come a long way. I can't image life without the professional guidance and support from Costco K-9 Obedience.

I got my pup Ginger in march 2025 and there's a reason all of these reviews of Ary and his…read moreoperation are 5 stars. it is because Ary is a really standup moral person and is above board and incredibly thorough with his care and handling of his dogs and the dogs he produces . A year after getting my pup she was having an issue on her front left leg walking and my vet was not solving the problem and also charging me lots of money for nothing . Ary was kind enough to take my pup back and forth to his vet in TJ once a week for a month and get her treated at a fraction of the cost for me. I can't say enough good things about the man he really is willing and will go the extra mile for his dogs and people who support his business and I am deeply grateful for his character . my pups fracture got healed and he pretty much saved the day so thank you sir for all your good work .

We first learned about Ary and One of a Kind Bulldogs in March 2024, after the heartbreaking loss…read moreof my beloved standard English Bulldog, who lived a long, full life of 12 years and 9 months. Our home felt unbearably quiet, so my husband and I began searching for a reputable local breeder. That's when we discovered Ary and his amazing Olde English Bulldogs. From the start, we were impressed by his reviews, videos, and -- most notably -- his facility. It's not what you'd typically expect from a breeder. Ary lives on the property, but his dogs have large, well-maintained play yards, plenty of toys, shaded areas, and an impeccably clean environment. When we visited, Ary took time to educate us about the Olde English Bulldog breed, even though we had already done our research. His passion for the breed and his dedication to finding the right home for each dog really stood out. It was clear that his priority is the well-being of the dogs, not profit. A year later, we are still continually amazed by Ary's ongoing care and support for his customers and their fur babies. He responds to every text within an hour and has fostered a wonderful community through his One of a Kind Bulldogs group. The group is an invaluable resource for training tips, medical advice, and encouragement from other Bulldog owners. One of the highlights is the annual get-together Ary hosts for his Bulldog family, a true testament to the community he has built. We know we're biased because we love our Doopy beyond words, but our vet -- who has cared for all three of our Bulldogs -- confirmed what we already knew: Doopy is exceptionally well-bred. We couldn't be more grateful to Ary and One of a Kind Bulldogs for bringing so much love and joy into our lives.

IQ K9 has genuinely changed our lives, as well as our dogs' lives. We dropped off 2 very reactive…read moredogs that were out of control on walks, in the car, etc. Our male dog was also beginning to growl at our toddler and another adult in the home. After their board and train, we picked up 2 dogs who could walk past other dogs without reacting, obey commands, and were overall in a more relaxed state of mind. IQ K9 has provided continuous training in our home and out in the real world. It's not just the training of dogs that they do well, but the training of owners and handlers. We have learned so much and our relationship with our dogs has done a complete 180. We are so grateful to Stani and her team and cannot recommend them enough.

We sent our two dogs to a 3-week board and train program at IQK9 in Valley Center and the results…read morewere incredible! We were recommended this place by another dog mom at the dog park who also went through the training and has a very well-behaved doggo. Our dogs - Gojo and Benji - came home more obedient, calm, and confident -- they now respond to commands, walk beautifully on leash, and no longer jump on people or fight with each other. The dog trainers at IQK9 in Valley Center are amazing -- you can tell they truly care about every dog and have years of professional dog training experience. The whole process was easy, clear, and very well-organized. They even trained us during pickup so we understood how to stay consistent at home. This made all the difference because it is so important for us to continue their training at home to instill everything they learned. Our dogs absolutely loved their trainers and were so happy the entire time. If you're looking for obedience training, leash training, or dog behavior correction in Valley Center or North County San Diego, we 10/10 recommend this place!

This place deserves way more reviews. Felt like my little…read moregirl was treated like their own. As someone who has professionally trained under others in the area, I'm leery. Decided to go with the board and train to ensure she was set for success while away on a trip. I can tell you this place is legit, has the skills, and genuinely cares about their guests. First class service and great communication before/during/after. My puppy came in with minimal training and left a star. Sit, down, stay, leave it, more respect with the cats and my resident dog at home, and way more confidence. They have a family dog, there's kids and other family around, chickens, cats, and more to be exposed to + cuddles galore. I'm very happy with my choice. We'll be back for daycare weekly.

From the phone to drop-off they were excellent at staying in contact and making sure everything we needed was addressed. They kept that same level of communication and dedication during our furry friend's stay, which definitely made me comfortable and secure in leaving my dog there. When we picked up our dog, we were walked through everything that was worked on and were blown away. The progress was undeniable. They will tell you what worked, what didn't, and make sure to work with you to plan for you pet's future needs. 10/10. I can't think of taking any of my puppy or senior dog anywhere else.

Jeffrey is a male lab mix and was 10 months old when he came to stay with me. When Jeffrey came to stay with me, I already had Koda, a male chow-huskie mix, four years old. About two months into his stay, Jeffrey became my forever dog. Also, at about that same time, Jeffrey and Koda began to get into some bad fights that needed human intervention to stop. My friend had taken her dog to Devotion to Dogs with great results, so I took Jeffrey for training. Jeffrey completed his training about one month ago and no fights with Koda have occurred after the training. Josh was great with Jeffrey and did Jeffrey's home visit. I am grateful and thankful to Josh and the whole team at Devotion to Dogs!!
