K9 Trails 4 Tails is more than a great dog daycare. If your pup needs extra structure and…read moresocialization like mine does, it can be transformative! Owner Jeff Yamaoka is an exceptional dog behaviorist who has created a constantly evolving program of adventure hikes, supervised pack play, and skills work (including leash, threshold, and place training). He also builds in time for the dogs to just chill and enjoy being in the company of other canines. He gives each dog individual attention and treats my Poppy like one of his own. My previously painfully shy 2-year-old Pit mix is becoming a more confident, well-balanced dog with each session. Jeff also gives me suggestions on how I can continue her progress at home. Jeff sends photos and videos shortly after each adventure, and I can't wait to open them! The dogs are always having a blast. After a four-hour session with Jeff and his pack, my girl returns home happy and exhausted -- and she sleeps like a rock all night.

My rescue dog has had issues with dog reactivity from his time at the Shelter. The issue got worst…read morewith him becoming reactive to anything moving after his PTLO surgery and his diagnosis with early onset arthritis on his two front elbows. We went through 5 trainers and it was to the point where I was so desperate I was considering hard core old school training with choke collars etc. We lucked out when we found Kelly and Shane. Shane has worked tirelessly with us every week for a year now and none of my friends recognize my dog because of how calm and composed he is when they visit. Some even asked me if I adopted another dog with he same coloring. He has progressed so much on his reactivity to moving targets that I can now even consider when we will be able to walk in public with dogs around without him barking or lunging, something I had given up for years now.

I can't recommend this trainer enough! I was so nervous about doing a 5-week board and train…read morebecause my dog is truly my whole world, but it ended up being one of the best decisions I've ever made for both of us. Before training, we struggled with potty training, jumping, being extremely hyper, not being able to focus, and staying calm around other people and dogs. After just five weeks, the difference has been incredible. My dog is so much more focused, relaxed, well-mannered, and confident. She can now be around people and other dogs without being overwhelmed, and our daily life has become so much easier and more enjoyable. What really sets this trainer apart is that the support doesn't end when your dog comes home. She still checks in with me every week, answers all of my questions, and continues to help me build on everything my dog learned during training. Knowing I have that ongoing guidance has made such a huge difference. As someone who has a lot of anxiety about my dog, she was also incredibly understanding and reassuring throughout the entire process. Leaving my dog for five weeks was one of the hardest things I've ever done, but she took amazing care of her, and I knew she was in the best hands. I'm so grateful for everything she's done for us. She didn't just train my dog, she helped improve both of our lives. If you're considering training for your dog, I truly can't recommend her enough!

Gabby is THE dog whisperer. She boarded and trained our 1-year-old Rottweiler, Zero, to learn…read morebetter impulse control and command response. In just one conversation with Gabby, you recognize that her level of understanding behind dog behavior, down to the science, is unmatched. Gabby's genuine love and care, and firsthand expertise is truly exceptional. From dropoff day, it was clear that Zero was in the hands of someone who genuinely understands dogs - not just someone following a generic training program. What we appreciated most was the honesty. Gabby made sure we understood what the training program would entail, that he'd be worked pretty extensively which was all part of his training. The training included the appropriate level of discipline and structure necessary for Zero to succeed. We've seen firsthand that thoughtful, consistent boundaries are sometimes exactly what a dog needs, and the results speak for themselves. Gabby's communication was also outstanding. We were kept apprised of our dog's progress throughout the entire training program, and it was obvious that our dog's well-being and success were Gabby's top priorities. Zero came home as a new dog. She tackled the behaviors we were concerned about, and then some. She's also very kind in giving guidance even beyond the training program. Zero also loves spending time with Gabby when we go on vacation, and is so joyful every time he sees her. We are EXTREMELY thankful for Gabby and her amazing contributions to the dog community!

I wholeheartedly recommend Canine Construction Dog Training services. Gwen is an exceptional dog…read moretrainer, and I'm fortunate to have trained my Labrador Moose with Gwen beginning at three months. Her deep understanding of canine psychology and her ability to connect with dogs is beyond what I have ever seen before, as is the instantaneous connection dogs have with her in return. From the first session, Moose immediately clicked with Gwen and was excited to work with her (and I was, too!). She gave me clear guidance and personalized training that shaped my behavior as a dog owner and, in turn, shaped my puppy's behavior. Moose has grown into a well-mannered, confident, and happy companion. Our bond has deepened, and I credit Gwen for helping us build a solid foundation based on trust and respect that'll last a lifetime! Gwen was professional, reliable, and punctual to each session, showing up fully present and with a positive attitude. I hope you and your pup are fortunate enough to work with Gwen. She is truly one of a kind.

I have a high energy, German Shepherd and even for me I find it hard to give her the time she needs outside. I thought Let me just try this out and see how it goes. Let me say that Paul did not disappoint and my Macy girl was so happy and tired lol. My dog is a big dog and can be very intimidating. But she is super loving and think she's actually human. She loves little dogs so I was happy to hear that there was no issues and that she had a really good time. I already asked about a weekly schedule because it will help both me and my Macy girl. From the jump, I got warm and welcoming vibes from Paul. It really helped me feel comfortable, knowing that my girl is gonna be safe with him. Also, you can tell he's not such a dog lover. It takes a special heart to do what he's doing. I would recommend him for anyone who needs extra help giving their doggy some TLC outside in the sun!
