We brought our 1 year old golden retriever (Charlie) to the Rex center to learn how to swim. The…read moretrainer - Alice - was wonderful! She very patiently helped ease Charlie into the water, encouraged him to get comfortable without pushing him. By the end of the session he was already starting to swim on his own. Really happy with this first lesson and I highly recommend the Rex Center to anyone who's looking to introduce their dog to the water.

He allowed people to pet him and wasn't overwhelmed when he was in the store. It's been a few months, I think my dog has regressed, but that's probably due to me being inconsistent as an owner. I definitely recommend Lisa and her team for training. She gave me tools to work with helping my dog with his behavior.

Training with Mike has completely changed our lives with our GSD. We used to dread walks because of…read moreour GSD's frustrated greeter issues and excessive leash pulling, but the 1-on-1 training sessions turned everything around. We learned how to incorporate tools like the e-collar and prong collar correctly and humanely as part of a balanced training program. I really appreciated the direct, no-nonsense communication style. He gives you the facts and the fixes without sugarcoating, which is exactly what we needed. We now have a dog that we can trust off-leash even in distracting environments. The best testament to the training was seeing our GSD maintain his recall and stay by our side, even when the other dogs he was hanging out with ignored their owners and ran off to cause chaos. If you want real-world results and a trainer who tells it like it is, I highly recommend Mike.

He's always willing to adapt his approach and try different techniques, tools, and training exercises--from various leashes and collars to using stuffed animals for realistic practice scenarios. Jared has also been flexible and responsive with scheduling, which we really appreciate since my partner and I are usually only available on weekends. Over the past two years, we've moved to different cities throughout the Peninsula, yet we've continued working with Jared because of the trust he's built with both us and our dogs--and the results we've seen.

As a contractor, I don't always want to bring my dogs to job sites or leave them home alone all day, so having someone like Sabrina has been a game changer. Sabrina is great. Highly recommend.

Meet Mischief he is a 16 month old Shepherd mix we adopted from the Stockton county pound at eight…read moreweeks old. At around three or four months old, he began exhibiting both separation anxiety and serious reactivity. We knew he was a sweet dog, but his behavior made it impossible to convince others of his sweet nature. After the first trainer, proved an epic failure We began to think that we would have to return him to the shelter. He was utterly unmanageable and getting bigger each passing day We knew returning him would most likely result in him being put to sleep. His reactivity would've barred him from adoption. We absolutely could not allow that to happen. My wife happened upon Freakin Pawsome's website and the outstanding things people had to say about Will. We reached out to Will and he agreed to meet with Mischief At Will's first meeting with Mischief Mischief did his very best Cujo impersonation. I was sincerely worried Will would refuse to train him. I was surprised when Will agreed to take on our challenged Shepherd puppy and very grateful. Once Will introduced himself to Mischief Mischief took to Will immediately in less than 10 minutes. Mischief was taking basic commands from Will and I knew that we had found the right trainer. Over the next four months, I witnessed a total metamorphosis in Mischief. Will very patiently inconsistently guided Mischief to being a truly happy dog! As Will thoughtfully, patiently guided Mischief to being a good dog, He taught an even more important lesson to myself and my wife on how to be good dog parents. Will has given us the tools to continue to expand Mischief's development and Will's expertise has paid off on so many levels. Will quite literally save mischief life and allowed him to become a happy well adjusted family companion. He is also given our whole family a peace we did not believe possible, given Mischief's anxiety, and behaviors before We met Will. We want everyone to know that separation anxiety and reactivity can be overcome. Will has proven it beyond any shadow of a doubt. Mischief is a true testament to Will's expertise. Freakin Pawsome is exemplary in their methods And if you are consistent with the training and the daily implementation of the training, you will have the dog you desire. Thank you, Will you have our deepest gratitude

The best caretaker for my fur baby!…read more I can't say enough great things about Chantel and City Girls Dog Care! From the moment I reached out, I felt like my husky lab Kuma would be in the best hands. Chantel is incredibly responsive, kind, and passionate about dogs. Chantel and her team have looked after Kuma a few times now, and I'll definitely keep coming back. During my recent trip, I received daily updates and adorable photos that reassured me he was happy and well-cared for. City Girls Dog Care followed my care instructions perfectly. They gave him plenty of love and even went the extra mile by taking him on hikes. What really stood out was how excited Kuma gets whenever he sees Chantel. It's clear she has a true knack for connecting with dogs and training them.
