I also just really enjoy my time working with her!

We just picked up our dog from a 3 week board and train with Carissa, and we are beyond happy with…read morethe results. Throughout the entire process, she consistently communicated with us and always replied whenever we texted for updates or photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog was reactive to people, other dogs, motorcycles, bikes, and more, and we already saw such a huge improvement even on the car ride home. You can tell how much time, patience, and care Carissa puts into her training. Carissa even met us halfway to pick her up as we lived a little far from her. When we picked our dog up, Carissa spent over an hour teaching us everything we need to know to continue reinforcing the commands and training at home. She made sure we felt confident before leaving. She even offered to come to our house afterward if we struggled with anything, which really shows how dedicated she is to both the dogs and their owners. We're so grateful for all her hard work and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trainer!

We used Cari for a 2-week board and train for our dog, Chorizo. During the training period,…read morecommunication was limited and we often had to follow up ourselves to get updates. At the same time, we were seeing our dog being posted on Instagram more than we were getting direct updates, even after we asked for them. She pinned Chorizo on her Instagram, in the number one post slot, while we hadn't heard from her in three days and didn't even know he was going on a field trip. This was especially difficult for my wife, who had recently lost her father and was already going through a lot. Being separated from our dog was hard on her. We asked multiple times for updates so we could reassure her, but it never felt like we were getting the same level of feedback other reviewers experienced. The training experience didn't match what we expected. Recall still needs work, and "place" became more confusing. Before, he would go where I pointed. Now he tries multiple spots and flinches (expecting a stim), even after we bought him a cot. We asked Cari to introduce Chorizo to our e-collar (EZ Educator). During the consultation, she mentioned that he would learn recall and other commands to near perfection before the e-collar was introduced, and that vibration would be used before stim. The handoff only showed e-collar stim commands, and vibration was not introduced. His recall without the e-collar still needs work. We never received a clear breakdown of what he was working on during the program and mostly followed his progress through Instagram. After pickup, I had to follow up just to get a list of commands. The handoff felt rushed. He was exhausted, it was a hot day, and she had forgotten a water bowl, so a lot of the time was spent just letting him drink water. There was no follow-up afterward to see how he was doing. A few hours after getting him back that Friday, we took him to a groomer who pointed out a cracked toenail down to the quick and irritation on his neck from his e-collar. The groomer said the irritation looked like burns from an e-collar that hadn't been rotated and advised us to monitor his paw to make sure it didn't get worse. We took it easy and avoided taking him out while he healed, but by Tuesday his paw started bleeding. We notified Cari and let her know we would be taking him to the vet after my scheduled surgery. I had carpal tunnel release surgery on both hands that Wednesday, and I took him to the vet while recovering on Thursday. He developed an infection and a fever that required sedation, nail removal, and stitches. This whole experience is not what we expected after reading her Yelp reviews. Even trying to work things out with Cari regarding the vet bills, after we negotiated the cost down with the vet and insurance covered a significant portion, was disappointing. We weren't asking for everything, just something fair. The procedure cost about $900 if the dog is sedated. We asked her to participate $350-$380. She offered $100. When I told her that Chorizo was at the vet because his paw was bleeding, her response was, "Ok thank you for the update." We weren't able to reach an agreement and were told, by Cari, that small claims court would be the best way to resolve it, which is what we are now pursuing. Regarding our training equipment, we also had to follow up on two leashes and e-collar prongs that weren't returned after the program. She told my wife she broke the retractable leash and would send a replacement right away, but a week and a half later we still haven't received confirmation that it's been sent. (Edit: retractable leash and prongs received 3/31 via Amazon Prime.)

Let me start by saying I would give Juan and his team a 100/10, and here's why:…read more When I was looking for training for my 4-month-old Cavapoo, I did a lot of research before making a decision. From day one, Juan provided exceptional customer service. He was never pushy, took the time to explain the training process, answered all of my questions thoroughly, and was always easy to reach whenever I needed him. I ultimately chose the 5-week off-leash obedience program. As difficult as it was to leave my puppy for that long, it was absolutely worth it. My dog came home calmer, more confident, and with a much better understanding of commands such as stay, down, place, come, yes, and no. She listens significantly better and is clearly more focused and well-mannered. Oh and let me not forgot to mention she is now crate trained and potty trained. She now sleeps comfortably in her crate and understands that potty time happens outside. The facility itself is beautiful, private, and extremely clean. I also want to give a special shoutout to Dom for the incredible care and dedication he showed my dog during her stay. If you're considering professional training for your dog, I highly recommend reaching out to Juan and his team. The investment was one of the best decisions I've made for my dog. and I'm so grateful for the foundation they've helped build for her future.

Ringo completed…read moretheir 8-week Board and Train program in December 2024, and the results have been truly impressive. The program focused on comprehensive obedience, off-leash reliability, recall, and behavioral modification, all through individualized and consistent training tailored to Ringo's specific needs. Juan and the entire team are amazing--compassionate, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. They took the time to understand Ringo and worked patiently to help him build confidence, improve behavior, and develop reliable obedience skills. It was clear throughout the process that they care deeply about every dog they work with. What stands out most is the level of professionalism combined with the love and attention they give each dog. I felt completely comfortable trusting them with Ringo, and the communication throughout the program was excellent. Even after training, I continue to bring Ringo there for daycare and boarding, which says everything about the confidence I have in their team and facility. Ringo is always happy to go, and I know he is safe, well cared for, and in great hands. If you are looking for a team that delivers real results while treating your dog like family, The DOGGO USA is the place to go. Our experience with The DOGGO USA has and continues to make a lasting difference in Ringo's life. We are grateful for everything they have done for him. Highly recommend The DOGGO USA to anyone seeking training, daycare, or boarding services.

I wish I had known about Kristin of Cognitive Dogs training program when I first rescued Charlie…read more The poor guy struggled with severe leash and fence reactivity, and every time he saw another dog, the barking was deafening. People would literally come out of their homes to see what was happening. After nine months, seven different trainers (yes, seven), and wasting a ridiculous amount of money, I felt helpless. With our honeymoon just a few weeks away and nowhere to board him, I tried a couple Rover daycare places that also did boarding, but we were turned away because of his reactivity. Desperate and super sad for him, I scoured the internet for trainers and dove into every single review. That's when I came across Kristin of Cognitive Dogs and decided to reach out. I was skeptical after so many disappointments, but during our consultation, she was so thorough, patient, and confident in her abilities that I decided to schedule an 8-week board and train. In the weeks leading up to when we handed Charlie off to her, she sent very thorough, organized emails with instructions on what to pack and what to expect. During the training, she answered texts promptly, sent photos and progress videos, and kept us updated without overdoing it. It was clear her focus was on actually training my dog, not just sending staged pictures and video updates. When she brought Charlie back, I was nervous but hopeful. The difference was unbelievable. He's still the same silly boy, but now he's attentive, obedient, and can calmly handle seeing and passing by other dogs. His leash manners and overall confidence have completely transformed him into the dog I could only dream of since we rescued him almost a year ago. Kristin's program is the only one that truly worked for us, and I can't recommend her enough. Dog training is always an investment, but this one is absolutely worth it.

Before training, our pup was full of energy but difficult to manage due to his size, strength, and puppy habits. Steven not only worked with him patiently and consistently, but also gave us the tools and confidence to continue his training at home. Our dog came back calmer, more responsive, and much more enjoyable to be around, yet still his happy, loving self. What really impressed us was how knowledgeable and dedicated Steven is! He clearly understands the Cane Corso breed and how to bring out the best in them. He kept us updated throughout the training process, and when we picked our dog up, he took the time to walk us through everything step by step so we felt set up for success. He was giving us daily updates and all of the problems we were having at home, Steven addressed at his home under training. We are so grateful for the care and attention he gave our boy. If you are looking for a trainer who is professional, skilled, and genuinely passionate about dogs, we highly recommend Steven! We will definitely be coming back for more training with our next puppy!

Why can't I give 0 stars?? :)…read more STAY AWAY FROM THIS BREEDER! Simply cannot stress this enough!! She gives a "health guarantee" but it doesn't cover anything he came home with. We got him tested right away and found 4 different parasites. Additionally, when we went to pick him out, at 6 weeks of age, she tried to send him home with us. I thought that was irresponsible as I have always read it is better for them to be with their mom until 8 weeks. First red flag. But we were already so attached to him we HAD to get him! When we came back to get him, there were more red flags. In her home were MULTIPLE dogs giving birth and who has JUST gave birth. Her walls were lined with crates of dogs in labor and brand new babies. It was shocking. But again, we were already attached to our puppy and did not want to back out. Also, we have been to her "farm" and it is a dirt field in the middle of Adelanto.... nothing like the green fields she has in her "Disney videos." So once we got home, he had chronic diarrhea which was a result of the parasites he had. We finally got it resolved, but he will always have a lowered immune system and sensitive GI track, according to our vet. Things got worse. When we first contacted Denise about the parasites- not complaining or asking for money- simply letting her know so she could get the other pups on antibiotics she completely ignored us. Another red flag. Why doesn't she care enough to even say, "thank you", or "I will look into it"? Grr. I am no extreme animal rights activists, jsut a noraml person who thinks animals deserve basic rights... like not to be sick. And if they are- get them the reight medication! Be a dog breeder, fine I obviously have nothign against dog breeding or I would not have made the purchase. But I strongly believe it needs to be done RESPONSIBLY; not with greed. We also found out she lied to the AKC about the age of per puppies, more red flags. I decided to warn other possible customers via Yelp. We LOVE our little guy and would not ever change having him, but I also felt obligated to warn others as his vet bills cost thousands!! And that's where this simple bad buying experience took a turn for the worse. She has since harassed, lied, submitted false police reports, posted and distributed private information, and relentlessly attacked me and my boyfriend. she has her friends call and use scare tactics to try and get us to remove our posts. (And from what I have read, which she has since deleted, the other Yelpers who left bad reviews!) Why didn't she just respond with "I am so sorry you had a bad experience, how can we resolve it?"... or ANYTHING else other than personally attacking us?? Instead we got stalked, harassed, and victimized. The last 4 pictures on her Yelp site are of OUR dog, cute, isn't he?:)- she is posting pics of OUR dog without OUR permission just out of spite (real professional, Denise). We have asked her to remove them, but she will not. Another reason you want to stay away from this company. She has also admitted to fake attorney calling to threaten us, and that she "enjoys" her "puppy mill business and the money she makes." Stay away. Not only will she give you a sick and skiddish puppy from an over-bred environment, but you will experience the WORST customer service of your life. I feel so bad for those poor puppies up there!! Not worth it.. keep looking. Oh, and she also operates under sweetwheatens.com so stay clear. Another red flag to potential buyers: Denise, owner of FF, has written her OWN review on Yelp- unethical to say the least. She also has an account acting as the "manager" named Adam in which she changed all of her responses. BUYERS BEWARE! Good luck!!! If anyone who reads this review has had or is currently having many of the same problems dealing with Denise and Freedom Farmz or Sweetwheatens.com. You may contact the San Bernardino Humane society at (909)386-1400 ext. 215. You can also contact Adelanto Animal Care and Control at (760)246-2301. And being that she has already admitted to being a Puppy Mill contact the Humane Society Puppy Mill line at (877)MILL-TIP and ask for Amanda.

Brian made a huge impact in our life. We learned as much or more about us as dog owners as our dog…read moredid about what to expect from us and how to respond in a positive way. I strongly recommend Brian to anyone in need of understanding their dog and his needs. The training isn't about learning tricks but how to help blend your dog into the family and helping him to feel part of the pack. Once we all got used to the new blend our dog settled down and became an ideal member to our family. Our dog (Gordon Setter) has always been friendly with other dogs and people, never biting or menacing. Now he's calmer and much more manageable to walk. Not only are we as owners more confident but our dog is as well. It was a pleasure working with Brian. He really helped open our eyes to the needs of our dog.

We started working with Brian last year after a really scary situation--our dog bit our 12 month…read moreold daughter, and we were honestly desperate for help. Like any parent and dog owner, we were heartbroken and overwhelmed, not knowing how to move forward safely. After reading so many incredible reviews about Brian across different forums, we decided to reach out--and I'm so grateful we did. Brian helped us understand Hudson (our dog) on a completely different level. He took the time to explain the fears and anxiety driving Hudson's behavior and gave us practical tools to help him feel more secure and confident. Instead of just addressing the behavior itself, Brian helped us see what Hudson was experiencing and how to support him in a way that actually works. Over time, we've seen such meaningful progress. Most importantly, I now feel so much more comfortable and confident with my daughter interacting with Hudson. That peace of mind is something I truly can't put into words. If you're dealing with a challenging or scary situation with your dog, I can't recommend Brian highly enough. His knowledge, patience, and ability to help both dogs and owners understand each other is truly remarkable. We're incredibly grateful we found him.

I've worked with a couple dog trainers in the past, and as others have mentioned in their reviews,…read moreLucy is by far the most intuitive, genuine, caring, and professional dog behaviorist I've ever met. On top of that, she's simply a gem of a human being to be around. Her positive, calm, and confident energy doesn't just affect your furry pals, it also carries over to us as owners. So much of working with your dog is exactly that, WITH your dog, not on your dog, and Lucy really helps you understand that difference. She explains not only the concepts but also the specific steps and actions you can take to apply them. It's clear she wants both you and your dog to succeed and to build a stronger, more trusting relationship. From our very first consultation call, I knew I wanted to work with her. She asked thoughtful, detailed questions that showed genuine interest in our 6 year old German Shepherd, Otto. Rather than making blanket statements or assumptions, she took the time to make a thorough assessment and truly listened to what I wanted to work on. The call itself lasted nearly an hour, and I left feeling both assured and excited to start training. Fast forward to now, only two sessions in, and I've already seen a remarkable change in Otto's demeanor. More importantly, my own understanding of him has deepened. I can read him so much better than before. Lucy helped me realize that Otto was actually suppressing many of his classic "shepherd-y" behaviors which were on overddrive, using obedience instead to mask his stress rather than true calmness. As we focus on helping Otto feel relaxed without always being in "lead and protect mode," Lucy also honors what makes him who he is. She's firm when she needs to be, but always kind and respectful. It's clear she has all our best interests at heart and truly prioritizes Otto's mental and physical wellbeing. Since starting with Lucy, we've even had other dog owners ask who our trainer is while out with Otto - that alone speaks volumes about her work. She's also incredibly responsive, prompt, and communicative. I feel so lucky to have found Lucy and can't wait to continue our journey with her and Otto.

She has…read moreover 10 years of experience working with dogs and she has an Instagram page too - https://www.instagram.com/thehappydogclubla/ Very adaptive training and plans made completely for the individual settings. Love how custom tailored the training sessions are. I believe she also does consultation on your dog prior to make sure it is a good fit for both of you. She offers group sessions, private training, and mobile meetings. She can meet you at your home or in other areas where your dog may need help, such as dog parks and social areas. She has experience with all kinds of dogs, large small, aggressive, scared, pack dogs, shelter dogs, rescues etc. She often time works with rescue and even worked with a team out in Korea on rescues dogs. She works on aggressive dogs, and barkative dogs, even my dog is a samoyed that barks a ton and has attachment towards the owner. We worked on calming my dog Maui from barking at the door, and anxiety when I leave the house, pulling towards the door, pulling towards the car, barking in the car, and being too reactive Lucy has a very calm, understanding way of working with dogs. Extremely patient and non-judgmental, flexible, and listens to your needs and your dog's behavioral issues. Her approach is to find the root causes of the issue and try to provide solutions and in a sense, help translate why your dog feels a certain way and how to move forward knowing all these aspects. We worked on resource guarding, teaching Maui to play with toys, learning to give space and waiting (patience work) being more responsive to commands especially when there is food, treats, and excitement around. Not to have Maui jump on guests or jump when he is too excited or headbutt others when there is a treat. Being more respectful and mindful. She does leave you with plenty of homework to practice and hone down each week's session so you can move forward the next week. I did 8 sessions and saw a massive improvement in calm, anxiety, and more importantly took away how to understand my dog better and why he feels anxious, barkative, scared, etc, and how to redirect or even give comfort in a way that dogs need not how human think dogs need. Lucy works primarily in LA but often have clients outside the city in the valley, Orange County OC, etc. So feel free to reach out to her even if you live outside of LA!
