I am so blown away by the incredible service that is, The Peaceful Pup. Brandy, the owner, is…read moreprofessional, friendly and my dogs loved her! I am a fairly new client and upon signing up for their service, had my initial home visit with both Brandy and Pamela, another wonderful Peaceful Pup team member. Upon arriving at my home, my dogs immediately felt comfortable and my frenchie could not stop bringing toys to Pamela! These two ladies run a wonderful operation and the service is the best I've ever experienced and when it comes to someone pet sitting your precious fur babies, you want only the best service! I regularly use their potty break service as well as their vacation visits and it's wonderful. They work within an app that is very user friendly and gives you regular updates of their visit, including adorable photos of your pets. I couldn't be happier and more relaxed when out if town for the day, knowing that our dogs were well taken care of. I just booked another appointment tonight, my 6th in a month, so YES, THEY ARE THAT GOOD! Thanks Peaceful Pup in Ojai, you rock!

Best Dog Walking/Sitting service ever!! And local to Ojai!!!! Yay!!!…read more Peaceful Pup is right on with their name. Not only will your furry loved one be at peace by the end of a day full of exercise, play and love, but you will also have peace of mind knowing they are in great hands!! I'm not even sure they missed me? Lol... I was frantic when I heard my usual dog sitter was not going to be available during a time my family and I had planned to be out of the country. I have two bigger, older dogs, who have special needs and behavior particularities (trust issues), and it just takes time and trust for my "kids" to be happy. Brandy, the owner, and her wonderful team, Emy and Rebecca, not only took the time to listen to all the details I felt were important to know, but they made sure to take heed of my recommendations and warnings, and took great notes to provide Tobe and Angel a smooth transition that they were not expecting with such short notice. Tobe and Angel weren't the "problem children" challenge that I thought they would be after all...Brandy and her team just have that naturally gifted comfort, control and confidence about them when they are around furry friends. I opted to choose the lock box option which is great, highly recommended and secure. The daily pictures and reports are also a great bonus. I look forward to seeing their cute faces and reading how their day went. It gives me lots of reassurance and peace. The prices are also more than reasonable. Some additional minor housesitting items were generously included like checking the mail and watering the plants. I will definitely recommend Peaceful Pup to anyone!! No need to look anywhere else!!!

This is a bit overdue. I used to take my first two doggies. This was before the pandemic. Then we…read morehad the pandemic and they both passed (2021 & 2022). Fast forward to now, I adopted two little rescues from the ASPCA. I wanted them to have time with other little doggies and called up Doggie Around. My information was still in their system (from my other doggies). They updated the information and offered me condolences for my loss. I had an outpatient procedure coming up and was hoping to get my two new doggies into the doggie daycare. Well they made it happen. I took them on a Friday for their initial assessment and was able to drop them off that following Monday. I cannot tell you how grateful I am for this. It was such a relief to be able to drop off my little loves and know they are safe and having a great time. I feel their prices are reasonable and most importantly, the staff is super nice and they remembered my little doggies names when I took them back on Monday. I know fur parents know how wonderful that feels when they remember you and your babie's names. Thank you Doggin' Around!

Our little guy Pippen has been going here since he was 9 months old. Recently, Pippen has been struggling with multiple health issues, but was way overdue for grooming. Tom and Carrie have been very understanding with us rescheduling multiple times due to our concern he wouldn't be able to tolerate a haircut. Luckily, Pippen has been feeling a little better, so we scheduled him in. They were able to accommodate us and get him seen first thing and was out of there in about an hour! I can tell our dogs feel so fresh and happier after each haircut. They handle our dogs with so much love and care, I could not recommend them enough. You will be in good hands here.

I sit here on my couch after doing my own morning training session with both dogs and I am in…read moretears. I cannot begin to explain the amount of relief from anxiety training my dogs with Ricky has brought me. No amount of therapy could touch how I felt previously. I have learned patience, clear communication (with my dogs), and appreciation of the minds ability to change after years and years of ingrained unwanted behaviors. Ricky does not sell a one size fits all package - each of my dogs are VERY different, and while the fundamental approaches and concepts in training are the same - the method and timing in which we applied and reinforced these were vastly different. Ricky is able to connect with two leggers and four leggers alike - he gives clear feedback to dogs and human and uses metaphors that we humans understand (driving the speed limit and getting speeding tickets haha) on how the concepts of his approach effects dog behavior. I couldn't be happier. I am humble and I know I need to continue management (and one of my dogs I am holding to higher standard so we are going to continue our own sessions based on what I have learned) but my dogs are completely different. I'm getting complimented by family, friends, and people on walks - impressed with how well behaved my dogs are. I smile and tell them "thank you it's lots of continued hard work" and move along. This morning in particular we walked during trash pick up, had lots of people distractions, and both dogs stayed heeled and attentive to me on their separate walks. Do not hesitate to consider Ricky for your training needs. Also, if you feel alone with your dogs behavior - please know you are anything but alone. The fact you are looking at reviews for dog trainers is a clear indicator that you want the best for your dog and intend to give them them best. :)

You get photo updates of your dog while you're gone and they check in with any concerns.
