    Worked with Maryna for a five day reverse board and train with our 4 month old cattle dog. He is very fearful of strangers and she was kind and patient with him. She provided daily pictures, videos and updates. He has a long way to go but we already are seeing improvements!

    I signed up for private lessons with Maryna and WOW!! She is amazing!! My corgi puppy was off-the-walls-crazy and she was able to help us understand him and train him according to his needs (he's a play-motivated boy, not food-motivated like most dogs). I am quite experienced with adult dogs (I've had 3 over my lifetime) but having a puppy was a whole new ballgame. Maryna was able to train me with patience and very clear instructions. Through her help, we have learned: recall, sit, stay, down, rollover, pose, and spin. She also brought her own dog to help my little boy learn how to socialize! Above and beyond!! 10/10 recommend to anyone, even if you do have previous experience with dogs. I will definitely ask Maryna for any help with future training!

    My pup, Oliver, just graduated from the puppy kindergarten + socialization class with Alyssa Kohler in San Diego. The training for basic skills (sit, down, come, go to bed, leave it, look) was taught through a live Zoom class and Oliver was able to easily pick up the skills with Alyssa's instructions. Plus, Alyssa was able to see all the pups on camera, provide 1:1 real-time feedback, and take questions. What I loved so much about this program was that following the Zoom class, I dropped Oliver off at a 45-minute in-person socialization class where Alyssa and her team taught the dogs how to play together. (I also loved that the socialization classes are organized by size and temperament of the dogs.) The owners don't go in the building (because global pandemic) but can watch their puppies play through Zoom! Such a good experience and I now have a well-trained little guy!

    Alyssa is amazing!! I reached out to Karma Dog Training because I want to train my little 8 week old Siberian Husky with positive training methods. And Alyssa did exactly that! Our husky puppy, Violet, had such a fear of dogs that I didn't know how to help her have the confidence to approach even the friendliest dog on her own. So I hired Alyssa to help give Violet the confidence to meet our friend's dog. Within one training session, Violet came completely out of her shell. She started as a shy fearful dog hiding in her crate, to a happy excited puppy just wanting to play with my friend's dog. Thank you Karma Dog Training and thank you Alyssa!!!

    Our puppy, happy and content, after another great puppy kindergarten class!

    Through the puppy kindergarten class, Ashley Bartlett gave us the tools to be confident and successful with our new puppy. We had never had a puppy before and were pretty nervous when we got our 8-week-old German Shepherd / Husky mix. Before we started the class, he nipped me (but not my boyfriend) constantly; we had no idea how to teach him basic commands; and he was extremely timid around other dogs. By the end of class, his nipping was nonexistent; we had a whole set of commands to communicate with him; and playing with other dogs is now his favorite hobby. We could not recommend this class enough for both new and experienced dog parents. Ashley uses positive reinforcement in her training methods and provides extra tips to try if you are facing a specific issue. She is also incredibly flexible in terms of making up classes, which helped with our busy summer! We definitely plan on continuing the next set of classes, available through Karma Dog, with Ashley!

    We are so pleased we chose to use karma dog training for our new puppy Grizzly. It was so important to us that Grizzly got to socialize with other puppies during such a critical time in his development. Karma offered a two part training session that involved an hour long zoom training session and an hour long in-person puppy play session (owners were not present due to Covid, but we got to watch them on zoom which was great!). We were skeptical of doing training virtually but it actually worked out really well as the puppies could really focus on training without the distraction of the other pups. The hour long in person play session was great for building up Grizzly's confidence as well, and he always came home nice and tired! The trainers did an excellent job of putting puppies in groups that played well together. Our trainer Alyssa Kohler was great to work with, and always available for questions about puppy behaviors that we were encountering outside of class. 5 stars! Thanks Karma!

    At first we weren't sure of how an online training program would work for our new puppy Koda but our expectations have been surpassed by the training program from Ashley Bartlett. I loved how she broke up into parts the different commands and showed us how to properly set up our Koda for success. I highly recommend this class to new puppy owner, whether they are experienced or not, Ashley will teach you something new with your dog.

    Alyssa Kohler was such an amazing trainer for our Jack Russel! She was patient and determined to find the solution to our puppies barking and anxiety on walks. She was flexible with our schedule. She always sent us updates throughout the week on things to work on. Kaia will miss her very much. It was what we looked forward to every week!

    Our sweet boy Gus exhausted physically and mentally after a puppy kindergarten session!

    My husband and I were starting to get a little panicked with what to do with our 8.5 week old basset hound Gus. We live in an apartment, don't have access to a safe grassy area, and he can't be fully let out until his third set of shots at 14 or 15 weeks -- and yet they're supposed to be socialized by 16 weeks... we were very confused about what to do with this conflicting information. We were delighted coming across Karma Dog Training, and specifically Aimee and Diana's Puppy Kindergarten class, which is held in La Jolla. Gus gets plenty of time to play, socialize, and get out that puppy energy, as well as learn some skills. They are wonderful. Not to mention, I've started getting really invested in the other puppies in the class -- it's so lovely to see them all growing and improving each week! Highly recommend!!

    Nailing his place training! :)

    We just recently completed a private training package with Maryna and it has been a complete game-changer for our entire family. Puppyhood has been a real challenge for us...from the endless nipping and crazy nervous energy to managing our pup being very reactive while on leash, on top of being a non-socialized COVID puppy - we were at a complete loss. Maryna helped us to turn that completely around. We learned so much and while it is a continuous process to train, Maryna has given us the strong foundation we need to navigate new situations and to continue to reinforce and train established skills. We cannot recommend Maryna more highly. She has made such a profound difference for us...and for our Jedi! We cannot be happier or more grateful.

    This review is long over-due. My dog, Bling has been going to the Camp Run A Mutt franchise since…read moreshe was a puppy and has been coming to the Sorrento Valley one for a few years now. The staff is WONDERFUL!! They remember my dogs name, even when she hasn't been in awhile! When I drop my dog off I can look in the viewing window and see how sweet the staff are to my dog and all the doggies. Last time I watched, I saw the staff pick her up, which she loves, give her a little snuggle and then put her in her favorite spot - on the top of the stair structure where she can oversee everything. They love to give scratches, pets and attention to all the dogs, it just shows you how kind, thoughtful and attentive they are. I love that they have the mutt-cams so we can watch all the fun. :) My dog sometimes doesn't want to leave she loves it there so much! We chose this place because we love how they are cage free when boarded overnight and they give you the cutest report card when you pick them up.

    We just started our 1 year old mixed breed rescue puppy at Camp Run-a-mutt yesterday. After a short…read moretemperment test, we left her there for 6 hours. They sent home a first day report card which told us about how she did, what dogs she played with. They have cameras in the play yards so you can spy on your dog which of course we did. It was the first time we spent significant time away from her. She had a great time after being a bit shy at first. We decided to send her a second day in a row. Took her early (7:30) so she would be one of the first ones there. She had a great time. She easily interacted with the pack. There are many handlers on duty so that any problems are addressed immediately. Addy had to be "redirected" a few times for over enthusiasm We look forward to taking her back once or twice a week. The pack experience is ideal for a one dog family looking for supervised socialization. And she comes home exhausted

We felt lucky that she was in such good and caring hands. Their place was clean and set up wonderfully for dogs to roam freely and play. They even sent us pictures and videos showing what a great time our dog was having with the other dogs there. One thing especially I would give them a shout out for is how they took some time to screen the dogs they accepted. It was great knowing that they made sure our dog would be comfortable with the other dogs there before we left her there. I wish I could give more stars than five and definitely wouldn't think twice before having her stay with Chris and Barbara again in the future!

He has stayed with them for both day care and overnight visits and I was very happy with the care they provided! I prefer that he get more attention and personalized attention at a smaller, home care setting (like Hugs) vs one of the other more commercialized dog care options. Chris and Barbara took our dog on a nice, long walk in the morning and evening. They were very flexible when our schedule changed and we needed to adjust the pick up time. And he came back clean, happy and tired :-) Update April 2021 - our dog just stayed with Chris and Barbara for the past 10 days and they sent me pictures, videos and updates every day. Also got pictures of our dog sitting with them - I could tell that they truly care about him and he received lots of love in our absence. He celebrated his 1st birthday with them and my daughter was so sad that we weren't with him. Chris and Barbara threw him a birthday party and FaceTimed with us so that we could see his party they put on - complete with birthday hats, balloons, dog cake and even a present! We were so appreciative and touched (especially my daughter)!
