They promised they'd check on him. So I gave Dream Dogs daycare a second chance. And it happened again. They weren't paying attention to the dogs and my dog got attacked again. Never told me both times and denied it the second time saying they checked the cameras. Another Emergency Vet bill for $800 dollars. And instead of taking out the attacking dog, they told me not to come back.

I've sent my mini Sheltie puppy to Kat's in-home Board and Train program twice now and she has done…read morean OUTSTANDING job with him!! He first went for 7 nights when he was 4.5 months old and again for a 3 night refresher to reinforce existing skills and learn an important new command once he was more mentally mature at 7 months old. Kat took the time to really understand his lifestyle and shape his training goals with me ahead of both stays and both times we got back a happy, healthy and focused pup who loves to show off his tricks and manners! He was understandably a little nervous the first time we dropped him off but the second time he was thrilled to be back, which just shows how much fun he had there with her!! You can tell that Kat cares deeply about the dogs she works with and I'm so glad we found her out here in the desert. I highly recommend the customizable board and train service to provide structure, fundamentals and/or personalized learning (then you just need to stay consistent at home continuing to reinforce the new skills). Thank you Kat for all you've taught Ozzie - we will definitely be back!

What a relief it is to be gone a week on vacation returning home to a very content 18 year old cat…read more( that we always think is dying) and a year and a half old dog that acted like I just returned from the market. How fortunate to find Kat and her team who are professional, provided great communication, pictures and videos, and I had a worry free time away. From the moment my pets met Kat, she commanded instant respect. Kat has that magic that animal respond to. My dog Bella watched her like a hawk and did everything she asked when she said it. Even things I didn't think she would understand! I realized in that moment my dog has been ignoring me! LOL Go ahead book your stay with Kat now, I already booked our next trip with her. I selfishly almost didn't want to share her if you know what I mean.

Valerie was able to teach me how to handle all of these issues in just a few lessons. I bought the package of four sessions! I can honestly say my dog is fixed!! I was so impressed that I gave her card to my friend who has an aggressive German Shepherd! She has had a couple of trainers now and none of them have been able to do anything for her. Again Valerie to the rescue!! He is like a whole different dog. I can't say it enough, Valerie is indeed the dog worshipper!!

Brooke is quite wonderful. At times all business but with a heart of gold and a friendly rapport…read more I'm a psychotherapist. Well, so is she, attending to training dogs and attending to/training their owners. Her love of dogs is clear from the moment she meets them. My dog is working toward becoming a service dog (he's 5 yrs old) and he's learning faster than I expected. He adores her and is very happy when he's "working" which for him is fun and he gets to please her, which pleases him. We both are loving every minute with Brooke. Can't recommend her highly enough!!! You won't be disappointed.

Our puppy loves her! Every minute our puppy spends with her is a thousand minutes more of bliss in our home. We have seen a complete transformation in 2 months and we are just getting started. Forget the puppy, I just want to go for the training. Although Brooke is training our puppy, the training we are receiving is even more important. Just contact Brooke today, so you can rest tomorrow .

At home Poppy barks at new people coming into the house and then shortly after they enter, she stops. Skipper Pip on the other hand is a grand AHOLE that will continually bark till our guest sits down or stops moving and it starts back up when they start moving again. ‍ I can say that nothing I did worked to stop or curb this little booger from barking. I watched countless videos and NOTHING WAS WORKING! I created a tiny monster. I finally had had enough and sought out a professional. I found Janine here on the internet. I didn't really know what to expect or how hard this was going to be. I didn't care, I needed help and was willing to do whatever an expert would tell me to do. Getting to know Janine and working with her has been super easy. I listed in detail all of the behavior issues that I have with Skipper but mostly it's the constant barking. Lord have mercy on my ears. The first visit is an assessment, explanation of how your dog thinks and how they understand you, and for us; some basics to start getting *operation no more barking* underway. Janine is very thorough so you understand both human and dog points of view. I really like this comprehensive approach. She trains you to train your dog so that your pet can thrive. Janine is not a cookie cutter style dog trainer. She is adaptive in finding what works best for you and your pooch. This is just the hands on learning Skipper and I needed. Thank you Janine, you are a treasure. Skipper's Results after working with Janine: *No longer barks when in public (on leash or in a stroller.) *No longer barks at the gardeners or pool guy. *Walks on a leash with ease w/zero pulling. *Knows the difference between Working Walk and Leisurely Walk. *Does not freak out at other dogs. Is perfectly calm and confident that I will not let anything happen to her. *No longer licks paws unless right before bed. *Significantly less anxiety overall.
