    The staff is kind, but you only need to look at the dirty, disorganized front-office conditions that the human caretakers live in to understand the condition of the dog care. Trust your instincts. It is not a good place. The facilities are old and not well-kept. The building is basically a junky warehouse with some fenced-in parking lots and a pop-up tent for shade. I took my dog there because it was the only place in the vicinity of Apple's campus that didn't have a wait list, and it is easy to understand why. In the first week there, I picked up my dog with a big scratch on his snout that was bleeding. He's a medium dog and was placed in the large pen. When I realized and called, the girl said, 'Yeah, the dogs were playing really rough.' And tried to say that natural conditions for dogs are like when you drop your kid off at daycare, sometimes they come home with a bruise." When I asked that he be placed with smaller dogs, they said no. I would not recommend this space to anyone!

    Have been taking our boy Arthur to Klub K9 for years and it's about time we wrote a review. Arthur loves coming to daycare or boarding when we can't take him on out of town adventures. The love and recognition that he's always welcomed with definitely help make us more comfortable dropping him off. And he's definitely comfortable there, getting excited as soon as we turn on to the street and ready to run in as soon as I take his leash off. The team is friendly and really loves the dogs. When our child was born they even met up with us early in the AM to accommodate a drop off for Arthur.

    I started reading the horrible reviews for Klub K9 while using the webcam to check on my Bichon Frise, Teo, and I feel compelled to leave another perspective. Teo loves this place and the staff love him. He is so excited in the car when he realizes where he is that he cries for joy (so loud that the staff inside can hear him). We all laugh when I bring him in because he jumps out of my arms and makes a b-line to the playroom door without even a glance back. This morning he barked at the staff because they weren't opening the door fast enough. He loves this place. He has been going to daycare 2-3 times a week for the last couple of years, and has been boarded a few times too. He comes home stinky but that is the price you pay for allowing your dog to enjoy himself playing with other dogs. The staff here are very good about cleaning up messes. In fact, just after this picture was taken, Teo was sniffing at a puddle of pee. Within moments, a staff member with a bucket and mop showed up and wiped it up. While we were traveling, we took Teo to a groomer in Seattle that was attached to a doggie daycare. The facility was half the size of KK9, and I swear, there was more poop on the floor than dogs running around. It was disgusting. Poor dogs couldn't take two steps without running into another pile of poop. It was eye opening and makes me appreciate the staff here at KK9 even more. As for the dog trainer, I have never met him. However, I do know there are two approaches to dog training. One uses positive reinforcement (treats) and the other uses dominance (the dog should do what you want them to do because you are the master). Police dogs are trained using the latter method and it can seem cruel. But, it also insures the dog will do exactly what they are told when they are told it. The positive reinforcement method allows the dog to decide if they want the treat more than continuing what they are doing. The goal is the behavior will become a habit over time and the dog will forget about the other possibilities and do what you want without thinking about it. We use the positive reinforcement method with Teo and he obeys for a couple of months, and then he just stops listening. The good thing about Teo is that he is a 12 pound Bichon who loves everyone. We don't have to worry about anyone getting hurt if he doesn't listen. We just have to worry about his safety.

    Klub K9 is awesome! My dog is always excited when I drop her off and tired when I pick her up. I trust them to take good care of her. They even have cameras, so I can see which dogs she's playing with.

    Klub K9 is a place you should think about sending your fur babies here. These pictures have been bothering me for awhile and I think I should give a review about it. I have heard a lot from my fellow colleagues and not good things either. None of these pictures are professional at all. I came in on a Saturday and I thought they opened up at 7 but they open at 8. As I walked in no one was around but the door was unlocked so anyone can come in and that is not good either. I see this poor old dog just laying in his pee and poop around him and I felt so sorry for this dog! How can you as a human being leave him like that. On a another note why do they have alcohol beverages laying around like that and in the lobby restroom so clients can see. Months ago I have smelled a strong alcohol smell coming from the 2 big white girls that was in the office before and I didnt think of anything at first but this explains why. They are very unprofessional and shouldn't be smelling like that while working. I feel like this place has gotten worse since Charles left. Need new professional people to be in the office! Klub K9 is going to lose a lot of business because of them.

    Amazing Dog Training session with Steve Miles of One Day Dog Training today!…read more My husband and I were "beside ourselves" with the incessant barking, lack of focus, dog walking struggles behavior that Finn (1 1/2 yr old) Maltipoo had started displaying over the past 6 months. We had tried various tactics, treats to rid Finn of his "bad habits" We were referred to One Day Dog Training through some close friends who had worked with Steve to train their 2 dogs. From the start.. Finn really took to Steve. Steve is personable, knowledgeable, and patient. His love for dogs is felt. He put our minds at ease from the start. Through the training, Steve took time to teach us how to better understand dog behavior and how we can better communicate what we want our dog to do...It was very enlightening. It was an education for us and Finn! At the end of our 3 hour session, we were really amazed to see a transformed young dog. We are soooo proud of Finn. The 3 of us have learned so much! Thank You, Steve!

I knew going into this training that it was me that needed most of the training! Steve explained that I needed to learn how to communicate with my dogs, that they communicate differently. What an eye-opener! Everything he explained made sense and in just the few hours we spent together, Lana was already following the cues that Steve taught me. Consistency and repetition is key. We are just 2 weeks in and the process is going great! Steve was absolutely terrific to work with. Somehow, he makes the whole process easy and effortless. His follow up calls to check in are much appreciated and he's available for questions that might come up. I'm so glad I made the call and was able to work with Steve.

    We had our puppy for about a year before we came to the conclusion that how we trained our other…read moredog was just not working for the puppy. In came Radiant K9. Right from the consultation, Octavia was friendly and reassuring and helped us understand that our dog was just a little special to no fault of our own. After discussing our concerns, what we hoped to get out of training, and our schedules we opted for the 24 session home and train package. Given mine and my bf's work schedule, we initially thought we would only attend a few sessions a week and have Octavia work with our puppy for a majority of the time. However, that quickly changed and Octavia worked with me and my literally ridiculous work schedule to make sure we found something that worked for all of us. Working with Octavia made us realize the training is as much for the dog as it is for the human. She didn't push any strict rules that I've seen other trainers mention, such as not allowing the dogs on furniture, and really factored in what would be practical in our lives as dog parents and what we wanted. As with all things, it takes time to find out what works best for each dog. Octavia was very patient in explaining and walking us through everything. She was always open for questions and answering whatever concerns I had about my dog even if it wasn't directly related to our training session. It's been almost a year and finding Octavia as a trainer has been the best thing that could happen to our family. What other trainer could you find that will shed tears with you from seeing your dog go from being unable to walk without tugging on a leash, to being able to walk at a heel off leash in just a few weeks (with still plenty of sessions to go!). Not only does she care and love our dog that she trains, she also extends that warmest to our other dog. The sound of her name makes both of our dogs perk up and want to run down the hall to greet her at the other end. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend!!

I cannot…read morerecommend the entire staff at Dogs at Harmony enough, but especially Shanni and Brenna. As a first-time dog owner raising a puppy by myself, I was completely overwhelmed. The staff has been with me every step of the way, even helping me decide on a Portuguese Water Dog's temperament to best suit my active running lifestyle. My puppy Yumi, now 17 weeks old, has been through Harmony School from 9-12 weeks, which came with 4 group lessons, and 1 private instruction. She's still going to school once a week to help give me some much-needed relief, and I'm hoping to start private lessons soon after my travel plans. Shanni and Brenna were instrumental during those first brutal two weeks with Yumi. I had major puppy blues - stressed about making sure she was okay, stressed about accidents, and desperate to set her up for success. This stress, combined with virtually no sleep (taking Yumi out every 20 minutes when awake and sleeping near her the first few days to soothe her), was a recipe for doubt and regret. I was that pet parent who would call frantically about any diarrhea or accident, text essay-length questions, and send way too many videos and notes about the schedules and patterns I'd observe, obsess over, and worry about. This incredible team met every single concern with patience, understanding, and practical solutions. The first time I dropped Yumi off at school was the first time I'd taken a break in a week - it was much-needed relief that allowed me to reset and find a routine that worked for me. Instead of fighting against her nature and her age (she's just a toddler!), I learned to work with her and celebrate every victory. The resources and support I received have set both Yumi and myself up for success. Yumi has grown into a beautiful, confident, and sweet-natured pup. She's well socialized, sleeps through the night from 10-7am, tries her hardest to not jump when greeting others, and can now be left alone for 3-4 hours at a time, which has been huge. She's still a working dog with tons of energy, but Shanni has guided me through how to tire her out mentally via shaping, soft chews, increasing difficulty in fundamentals, and teaching me how to actually train my dog. Her guidance helped me learn to see Yumi for who she is instead of who I want her to be, and how to debug and break down behaviors to address instead of treating undesired ones as 'issues' (like barking, digging, or jumping on people). It's been such a joy and privilege raising Yumi, but I definitely wouldn't have gotten here without Shanni and her team - the true village supporting my single pet parenthood lifestyle. Their approach is holistic, compassionate, and incredibly effective. Highly recommend for both new and experienced dog owners!

He encouraged me to create healthy boundaries with Mango and offered practical solutions, along with dietary supplements, to support her emotionally and physically. I had no idea that excess energy could actually contribute to anxiety in dogs! Josh suggested adjusting her meal plan, and that alone made a huge difference. He also gave me plenty of tips and tricks to help Mango naturally regulate her anxiety. And since his program includes lifetime training, he's continued to guide me whenever I have questions or notice old behaviors resurfacing. Josh reassured me that if I stayed consistent with the regimen he provided, Mango would be okay, and he was absolutely right. She's like a whole new dog now! At 4 years old She can stay home calmly without destroying furniture or becoming overly needy. I'm beyond grateful to Josh for his guidance and to his partner, Nicole, who helped me prepare for our first session.

The first year with my golden retriever, Luka, was extremely hard. He was a mouthy dog who had zero boundaries at home or outside. He would get excited or frustrated and grab/bite onto my shoes or clothes daily. Walking him became an impossible task because he was extremely dog-reactive, and he dragged me a couple of times while trying to chase another dog. Walking him also became a two-person job, with someone always on the lookout for other dogs so we could turn the other way. He also began to resource guard and snapped at my dad twice.. I had already spent thousands on another trainer and didn't have much success. I began to feel like this was just what life with Luka would be like forever. It got to the point where I felt scared of him, and the life I was giving him out of that fear wasn't fair to him. So I decided to try and get help one last time. I found Lori's page and after reading the reviews I became hopeful again. I took Luka in for an evaluation, and Lori recommended their board-and-train program. I can't thank Chelsea and Lori enough for everything they've done. I've learned so much about Luka, how to manage different situations, and how to better understand his behavior. We had training lessons throughout his board-and-train stay and afterward, because we are the ones who need most of the training! Chelsea did an amazing job with Luka. At home, Luka is unrecognizable in the best way. We can actually go on adventures outside without being terrified that we won't be able to handle him. Those who knew Luka before his stay and see him now always comment on how well he is doing. I cannot recommend Lori Hamilton's Dog training enough to anyone who feels like they've tried everything and is feeling discouraged. I am so thankful because it finally feels like Luka and I can start living life and enjoying everything around us.

Our pup, Diego, didn't just bark; he acted like he was auditioning for a lead role in a horror movie. Walks? Impossible. Visitors? Forget about it. Even our long-time pet sitter--a woman who has survived literal wolves--couldn't go near him without fear. . Our first trainer took one look at him and basically told us we'd adopted a tiny, bearded landmine. She called him "one of the most reactive dogs she'd ever met" and gave us the kind of "good luck" that usually precedes a disaster movie. Enter Mike Hatjes from Bay Area Dog Training. We found Mike on Yelp, and honestly, we were just looking for a miracle. Mike is a unique breed himself: he's incredibly direct (no sugar-coating the fact that your dog thinks he's the CEO of Chaos) but also hilarious. He balances that "tell-it-like-it-is" energy with a sense of humor that kept us from losing our minds. The Transformation Timeline: * The Private Lesson Phase (8 Sessions): We went from "we can't leave the house" to "wait, is he actually sitting on command?" By the end of our eight private lessons, we were taking regular walks. My blood pressure dropped, and Diego actually started building confidence instead of seeing every mailbox as a mortal enemy. * The Group Lesson Phase (The Real Magic): If you told me six months ago my dog would be in a group with 10 other dogs, I would have assumed there'd be a SWAT team involved. But Mike's group lessons are shockingly amazing. Seeing my dog hold a "down" in a row of 10 dogs while each one weaves through the line? It's practically a glitch in the Matrix. The Verdict: Mike didn't just train our dog; he gave us our lives back. We can do family trips, have friends over, and walk down the street without looking like we're wrestling a caffeinated alligator. If you have a dog that makes other trainers cry, call Mike. He'll tell you the truth, make you laugh, and turn your "unbelievable" nightmare into a well-behaved companion.
