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!!!

All of our dogs love Doggin' Around and their staff! Each pup started off in puppy socialization…read moreand puppy classes offered at the facility, then went on to do weekly day care, and even boarding when we travelled and couldn't bring them along. Even after a 9 day boarding stay, my velcro dog couldn't wait to go back for daycare the next week to play with his friends. They always come back tired and happy.

I was charged $53.00 For a false fee …read more I called the manager Diana to complain about it and ask for a refund. The manager called me and didn't want to have the owners call me to let them know my experience so instead of doing that she now won't let my dog come to Doggin around anymore ? This was after a serious heart attack I had and boarding the dog for six days and paying full price They then charged a full day price for picking up the dog after her bath at 3 PM and here's the response I got from the company manager Diana. I would hope the owners would call to find out what's going on in there doggy daycare. Diana should really be fired. I wanted to follow up regarding our conversation and your review. I was disappointed to read some of the statements made about me and our team, as I feel they do not accurately reflect the conversation or the steps I took to address your concerns. When you brought the late pickup fee to my attention, I listened to your concerns and credited the fee back to your account as a resolution. I also attempted to explain the policy behind your concerns, not to dismiss them, but to provide context. My goal was to have a respectful conversation and find a solution. I was very much in disbelief of the concerns, and I respectfully told you, they're concerns that have not been brought up by many. But those are your concerns and feelings and I respect that and I gave you space to express them. During our call, I felt that the conversation shifted from addressing the concern into criticism of my intentions and my role as a manager. I took a moment to process what you were sharing because I wanted to respond professionally rather than react emotionally. I respect that you have the right to share your experience and request further review from ownership. Your additional concerns will be communicated to them. However, after reviewing the situation, we, along with ownership, have decided that continuing a business relationship is no longer the right fit, and you and your pets are no longer eligible for services at Doggin' Around or any affiliated facilities. Regarding your payments, any transaction made today will be voided. For any prior charges that require a refund, please come into the facility with the card used for payment so we can process that refund. I'm sorry that after four years this is where we have arrived, but we believe this decision is the best path forward.

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. I've also brought my dog over there just for a day to play and they offer very reasonable prices for that too.
