She's very reliable, resourceful, and most importantly knowledgeable when it comes to dogs. She's the dog whisperer. My puppy Victory literally worships the ground Victoria walks on. If you are serious about having your dog trained well hire Victoria. If you're a first time dog owner, buy 12 sessions. We've come a long way from where we started. Victory and I went from the puppy struggles of her crying relentlessly in her crate to me now being able to be in the same room while she's in her crate and not crying. The struggles of leash training to now being able to eat out on the patio at restaurants. Investing in your dogs training is so important. I promise you you won't be disappointed by hiring Victoria as your dog trainer.

The very frequent use of leash popping for a dog "thinking evil thoughts" just didn't sit right with me. My main issue is that I don't want my dog heeling (or doing any other behavior) with her tail between her legs in fear, I want her eagerly and enthusiastically participating. So I gave it a new command and used positive reinforcement only, and her body language completely shifted. Another example is the labeling of a dog as "having a temper tantrum" because it wouldn't listen to a "down" command. This is probably anthropomorphizing and not evidence-based. The trainer's advice to step on the leash and wait ultimately didn't work to get the dog in a down, and he looked very physically uncomfortable.

Called BluePearl and they hinted itd be several hours wait so checked out Affordable Animal Emergency here. Parked on the street and they had us come in right away. They were upfront that its a $159 diagnostic. Turned out it was a UTI for the dog, so $40 antibiotic shot, $30 for antibiotic pills. Then I requested something for the pain, which they gave the dog an injection that would last 18 hours, $80. So it all came out to $300-ish which i was surprised, I thought itd be more for an emergency visit at 2am, complete with diagnostic and treatment. Granted, xrays/ultrasound wasn't conducted but there wasn't need. Our dog is back to her old self after a couple days and we're thankful there's a 24 hour vet in Auburn!

While the groom itself looked fine, my dog was cut near his private area and this was not disclosed to me. My dog is very reactive -- there is no way this injury went unnoticed. The groomers requested I bring him in so the vet can take a look at th grooming injury and for me to be eligible for a refund. He was prescribed both a topical and oral antibiotic that he needs to be on for 2 weeks. This was presented as them "making it right," even though the visit was necessary solely due to their mistake. When I requested my refund, I was initially offered only $20 on a $140 grooming bill. After insisting, they agreed to a full refund -- and then immediately removed me as a client, meaning I now must also find a new vet as well. There was no empathy, accountability, or concern shown for my dog's wellbeing. Since the incident, my dog has been uncomfortable, wearing a cone, refusing to use the bathroom, and barely eating. I've had to rearrange my schedule and miss work to care for him. Mistakes happen. But how a business responds to them matters -- and this response was unacceptable.

Gina graciously helped us through my dog's reactive behaviors and taught me how to better understand him. My dog had Parvo as a puppy and unfortunately became very reactive towards people and other dogs afterwards. Gina is extremely knowledgeable and she was very kind and patient with me and my pup. She truly has a way with dogs and can tell you everything just from their body language. I have recommended her to friends and family, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a high quality trainer in the area. I recently went out of town for 4 days and was so thankful to board my dog with Gina because I was confident he would be well taken care of which allowed me to enjoy my vacation. Gina is the only person I trust with my dog and we are so grateful to be working with PacwestK9!

They really listened to our needs and our concerns. We wanted to be able to take our dog everywhere. That's exactly what we can do now. He is phenomenal in every way. Yes you are required to follow through with training. Her training has brought me to tears we can't believe the full life our boy gets to live. She absolutely puts everything into ensuring your dog succeeds.

Our Great Pyrenees was stubborn, independent, and we honestly weren't sure if we'd ever get through to him. Garrett changed everything. Instead of relying on cookie-cutter methods, Garrett took the time to really understand our dog's personality and gave us tools that actually worked. His approach is calm, intuitive, and based on building trust and respect--not just obedience. The difference has been night and day. Because of Garrett, our Pyr is finally on the right path to success. Walks are no longer a battle, our home is more peaceful, and most importantly, our dog is happier and more confident. If you're looking for a trainer who gets results, thinks outside the box, and truly cares about both the dog and the owner, Garrett Stevens at Alpha and Omega Dog Training is the best there is.

It took 4 strenuous, long, emotional, exhausting days with Christy for us to finally get it. Now, 3 months post fight we have a NEW pack. We didn't just fix the "aggression issues", but with Christy's help we were able to completely rehabilitate our girls, our relationship with them and truly feel confident that we handle *any* situation. (There has also been some amazing weight-loss for our younger pup) Our pack is healthier, happier and there is now real trust and confidence between all parties.

Christy works to understand symptoms and how to speak to your dog like a dog to get the most positive behavior out of them. We'd highly recommend her. She's reliable, smart, patient, and effective. Our dog's behavior changed immediately and we have continued to see improvements months later.
