If you're facing any problems from behavior modification or just want to teach your dog obedience…read morebut don't know where to start, contact to Jenny!! I could rave about how awesome of a professional dog trainer Jenny is all day but I'll try to keep this one straightforward. Some context...We recently rescued our first family dog Koda, a 3 year old German Shepherd mix, late January of this year. Koda's a great dog but we struggled with obedience training since she's (a) quite the high energy dog (b) our first dog and (c) we have no experience training a dog. Before going to Jenny, I contacted a different trainer but things didn't go too well since I only then found out during the session that Koda exhibited extreme fear around men during the first session (trainer was a man). We then decided to switch to a female trainer and contacted Jenny, who we learned about through a friend of a friend, who had a good experience with her and said her private sessions were reasonable. We told Jenny that we wanted to learn basic obedience and help Koda with her anxiety around men and strangers. During our first meeting, I was nervous that Koda would act fearful toward Jenny since she's afraid of strangers but Jenny's patience and calm demeanor allowed Koda to eventually relax and be in the mindset to learn. Within a 6 week private basic obedience course, Koda and our family have made so many strides. We've learned to help her unlearn a lot of undesirable behaviors (e.g. leash pulling, counter surfing, eating stuff on the ground during walks, begging, chasing at other dogs during walks, etc) with Jenny's guidance. Koda also now knows her basic commands (e.g. sit, down, stand, recall, leave it,etc). Most importantly, Jenny's help with behavior modification has allowed Koda's lessened anxiety and she's okay meeting our friends and other extended family out in public and at our house. What I love about her sessions and training is that she is flexible in switching up the curriculum and personalizes it to your situation and dog (based on new problem behaviors that come up or your dog's progress in learning). Overall, this was a great experience for us. We really respect and appreciate Jenny's professionalism, her willingness to help, and her apparent love for dogs. She's very experienced in dog training and knowledgeable about dogs. I asked a lot of questions and Jenny was always open to answer my endless questions and offer her advice. Koda was once got sprayed by a skunk during a night walk and we felt like we had no one else we could really turn to. I decided to text Jenny and she unexpectedly responded quickly to give us advice on how to handle the situation. We can't thank Jenny enough and are glad that we did the training with her. We're confident in continuing Koda's training with the groundwork that Jenny has laid out and will be contacting Jenny if we need more sessions in the future. Thank you again Jenny!!

From our first conversation over the phone, I knew I could trust Ayumi. She is not only knowledgeable, but so kind and patient and cares about all her dog students.

When she realizes that we are driving towards Reids she gets super excited! She runs up to him and jumps with joy!

I actually can relax on my vacation know that Lemon is having the best time ever and if anything happened to her she would be taken care of. There is an interview process for the dogs, which I love, because I know that Reid knows what to look for, so I know that Lemon is not only safe with the other dogs but is also having fun. In addition, she learned a few good habits! If I could give more stars I would. Highly highly recommend!! We have done boarding and have done the hikes!

Reid's experience as a trainer and his love for dogs was apparent and Panda fell in love with him right away. There is plenty of clean play area and the big room where they sleep is immaculate and beautiful with different resources to meet each dog's need.. Reid evaluates all new dogs to make sure that all dogs blend well together which was important to us because Panda had not been with other dogs before. It was all a big multi-day play date for her and a worry free trip for us. He posted pictures so that we could see Panda having a good time. Reid really focuses in on each dog to make sure that their needs are met. We learned a lot about Panda from him too. It was a great experience for Panda and for us!

She went 3 days a week. You can pick how many days a week, and which days your puppy attends. You drop your puppy off between 8-9am and pickup between 4-5pm. This gave us free days to deal with the ramifications of the Eaton Fire. They exposed her to all kinds of sounds (fireworks, appliances, birds, etc.) and worked with her on loose leash walking, coming & staying, and being crated. The crating really worked! We thought we wouldn't be able to handle her crying, but after being in puppy pre-school she goes in quietly, hangs out and naps. We also as owners, learned the importance of sleep for a puppy! They sleep a LOT, and are much better pups when they are rested. We'd love the option of a few 1 on 1 classes with a trainer, since we have a lot to learn also!

She is also devoted and loving and funny. We did not know what to do when your puppy's chewing, pulling and charging might mean a trip to the doctor!

With their training and support, Aralez was transformed in eight weeks into a dog that truly wanted to behave and interact with us so that she got the best results back. Learning how to use the E collar was the best thing ever now we can walk her past dogs and she doesn't charge, she knows how to Place and calm herself when she gets excited and she's really very responsive to just about everything we need her to do to keep her safe and us safe in an environment that she deserves to be in.

We met the team at K9 Logic Dog Training and they assessed our dog and determined what kind of training program would be best for him to address his separation anxiety and the other skills we wanted to work on. Within a week we noticed progress. We finally were able to leave the house for an hour and go to the market together. Week by week the time has gradually gotten longer where we have been able to leave him alone for longer periods of time to reclaim our social life back. I was skeptical at first, but after that first week I became a believer. We are so happy with the results that for the purpose of just giving him structure and routine we signed him up for more classes and he LOVES being at school. We've also participated in the weekend group training sessions and they are so helpful to not only give our dog routine, but it's a great way to reinforce structure and keep him sharp with everything he learned at school. Signing up for training with K9 Logic Dog Training was the best decision we could made for our dog to set him up for success.
