    Christienne is patient, thorough, and knowledgeable trainer. Our golden retriever puppy walks so great on a leash now and loves to show off in place. Worth every penny. I love the follow up and refresher trainings, Alex the Dog loves to counter surf and it's something we've been able to tackle together.

    Our crazy pups!

    I was really struggling with whether we could keep my rescued young female Chocolate Lab long term…read more Maya had way too much energy and was really just wild! She couldn't get along very well with our other 2 dogs as she really just had no manners and didn't understand social cues. She had such a hard time settling down in the evenings and would bark for hours from her crate. We just didn't know what to do. I was at my wits end! Then I called Farren at Board N Behave. I really just wanted to board her while my husband was out of town but the more I spoke with her and came to understood her insight and experience with other dogs like Maya I decided to have the training sessions as well. It was the best decision for my dog I could have ever made!! No more destructive behavior, settled at night and gets along great with the other dogs. No more pulling on the leash either. The best part is that she is now a joy to be around, cuddling with us on the couch or relaxing on the porch. Dog training is not cheap, but it so necessary, especially when you have behavioral issues. Thank you Farren! You are absolutely amazing!!!

    I was referred to Farren at Board N Behave by a friend, and I'm so glad I reached out! From our…read morefirst call, Farren was professional, knowledgeable, and truly listened to my concerns. My Chinese Crested, Hooper, had previous training but was still struggling with reactivity and socialization. I appreciated that Farren didn't push an expensive board and train--she assessed Hooper personally and offered private sessions that fit my budget. After just one session, I already saw progress. Over five sessions, both Hooper and I were trained--because we all know training the human is just as important! A month later, I adopted another dog, Bodie, and brought both pups to Farren's daycare to continue Hooper's socialization. We also did additional public training sessions, which were incredibly helpful. Hooper is now more confident and manageable! Farren has also been working directly with Bodie, helping him learn basic obedience and improve his behavior--especially with things like staying safely in the car instead of bolting into the street. His progress has been amazing. Farren is not just a great trainer, but also understands dog behavior on a deeper level. Her facility is clean, organized, and I fully trust leaving my dogs in her care. I highly recommend Board N Behave for training, daycare, and/or boarding!

    Look no further! Ryan and Limitless Dog Training is the place to take your dog for expert training…read more Ryan is a master at training both your dog and you. Our Golden Retriever puppy, Maple, was out of control with biting, destroying everything from her blankets, her toys, our backyard landscape, and even the walls and base molding around the house. We tried to take her on walks but she would pull us around the neighborhood, and every little distraction scared her to death. We've owned four other Goldens in the past and never experienced this kind of wild behavior. Then came Ryan... he assured us that this behavior could be corrected with the right leadership, so we signed up for his two-week boot camp experience. The two weeks seemed like forever but when he brought her home she was our same familiar Maple but oh what a difference in her demeanor and behavior. Then Ryan followed up with us a week later and he reviewed with us all of our challenges that we were still experiencing. We quickly realized the problem wasn't Maple, it was us. Lots of little details like how to properly sync the electronic collar with the clicker, and keeping our finger on the clicker button so that we could engage it in a timely manner, etc. Once we got the hands-on training that we needed, Maple has transformed into a sweet, calm and well-behaved Golden Retriever. Thanks Ryan for your expertise and your expert training techniques. Ryan really understands how to train your dog in a positive manner so that you can reward their good behavior instead of reacting to the dog's misbehavior. Now we're looking forward to our weekly Saturday morning park instructions with several other dogs and all kinds of normal distractions that Maple will have to deal with when we take her out for walks, fun and play. Ryan, you are amazing! Thank you so much.

    Above amazing dog training! If you want a dog that is trained and no dilly-dallying to get there…read moreVINCE is the trainer you NEED! I personally am a certified dog trainer for a large pet store and while they are amazing for the basics I wanted a more expert opinion when it comes to more extensive dog training. I have a 4 year old Maltese who I've self trained as a a psychiatric service dog. Nacho is wonderful very well mannered, but has always had a bit of his own anxiety. Since I'm up to date on lots of training methods and I wanted his advice personally, he agreed to doing a private session with me. I brought everything for the session, his fancy FI dog collar that tracks him, his working vest, short lead, distance lead, his e-collar and of course treats. I told him that the e collar training I've done with him is modified as I don't have one that shocks only noise and vibration. He said while he gets results almost immediate with a classic e-collar conditioning, he is willing to do whatever I am most comfortable with. Nacho has off leash recall but only conditioned with the vibration, and because he's only 7 pounds and I got the most lightweight vibration collar I modified it to be on the back of his harness which works perfect. Again Vince will only do whatever you're comfortable with and better yet he'll explain the reasoning of how each training tool is used and why it works. While I know Vince could have gotten my dog to do 4x as many commands in the time frame that we spent working, it was more important for me to learn what he was preaching and my god was it amazing! Everything started to click and make sense which gave me so much more confidence in myself and my boy Nacho. I can tell he has had many years of experience and if I ever have any more concerns or questions I will happily put money down to see him again. Any dogs that I come across that need behavioral help will be going his way. While it can be pricey it is so worth it! Take the time to get his advice and opinion it's well worth it! Thanks again Vince for helping me with Nacho! We appreciate it immensely!

    It has taken me several weeks to write this review but I just cannot let others use Jennifer…read morewithout hearing from me. She had taken care of my dog and cat several years ago and when I hired her for a 3 week stay I was confident that they and my home would be well cared for. First, when I returned my home was filthy (despite the fact that I had housekeepers the week before) . The countertops in the kitchen was not clean, the floors (all laminate easily mopped) were stained and dirty, and her long hair was all over the floor in my bathroom (which she wasn't supposed to use). My housekeepers then advised that when they were there the living area was full of feces (pictures taken) -- much more than a small dog could have produced in several days. She was to administer an ear medicine on my dog and altho it appears she did, her ear was so greasy that the groomer had to cut quite bit of her beautiful long hair as it was too matted. Jennifer was to walk my dog 1-1.5 miles every day. After all this I decided to check my ring camera. At no time did she take her out for more than fifteen minutes. Impossible to walk that distance in the short period of time. No wonder the dog pooped in the house. The long haired cat was well groomed but that is the only positive thing I can say.

    This was the second time Jennifer has watched our 2 dogs! I have a 9 year old frenchie and a 7 year…read moreold Belgian malinois. The dogs absolutely love her and I love that I can trust her with both of them and our home. I love that she sends us updates and pictures of them when we are away without having to ask! I will definitely be using her in the future when we need our pups watched. Highly recommend!!

    Choosing the right trainer for a service dog is one of the most important decisions a handler can…read moremake, and working with Brian at Temecula Best Friends Dog Training has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. For nearly two years now, Brian has been an invaluable partner in my journey with not just one, but two service dogs--my fully trained service dog and my current service dog in training. What sets Brian apart is his profound expertise and his unwavering honesty. He has an incredible gift for assessing a dog's natural aptitude for service work, and he's not afraid to give an honest, professional opinion about a dog's prospects. This kind of integrity is crucial for any handler. Beyond his technical skill, Brian has been instrumental in building my confidence as a handler. He has an encouraging, clear teaching style that empowers you to trust your own abilities and form an even stronger bond with your dog. If you're looking for a dedicated, honest, and truly skilled professional to guide you through service dog training or any other training needs, I cannot recommend Brian and Temecula Best Friends Dog Training highly enough.

I love his positive methods for training and it is all very easy to learn and implement. He listened to our specific concerns and needs and gave good advice and focused training. We especially love that he helped teach our puppy loose leash walking and practiced going to public places with him. We feel like we are set up for success in having a really well behaved dog and are more confident in our ability to continue training. We paid for the 6 lessons and feel the cost was completely worth it. I also saw that Brian offers dog sitting through his website and I would 100% trust him to look after my pup. He really has a special love for dogs and you can tell that dogs feel the same way about him.
